I like andromeda AND the og trilogy because I'm here for a good time

I wanna know about solar system hold outs during the occupation in ME3.

Not Earth. Everyone knows about Earth. Not Mars, either, or Luna Base.

I want to know about how the scientists living on a mobile platform in Mercury’s terminator co-op their scientific satellites to send coded messages, organizing resistance while flying under the radar.

I want to know about the civil war that broke out among the Saturn He-3 miners, with the small detachment of bright-and-shiny marine recruits abandoned on Titan attempting urging them to enter the fight, their fuel resources critical to the war effort, while the hard folk who built the first rigs look at their families and their homes and think about how nobody on Earth ever gave a single fuck for their welfare they didn’t force out with strikes and blood.

I want to hear about how the scattered stations and outposts in the asteroid belt tripled the production of their food vats in just two months, and smuggled it out on the pirate ships long famous in that region.

How about the stranded passenger ships, too slow to make it to the relay before the reapers secured it, no Normandy protocols to hide them, and how they slowly gathered up other stragglers and hid in Jupiter’s shadow? What about the ones who succumbed to reaper destruction rather than give away their hiding spot?

Give me all the people who didn’t get memorials and didn’t get a vast galactic fleet coming to save them. Give me the ways they saved themselves and each other and the whole damn solar system in spite of it.
