why do you keep saying they are trapped in the sol system?

and yes, there are other habitable planets in the sol system, simply because we do not travel to them in the games doesn't mean they dont exist, two of them are actually mentioned in the cerberus daily news one out near alpha centauri that humanity settled on, and another with a pre-spaceflight species observed by the asari.

not even 1% of the stars in the known galaxy are explored in the mass effect universe, that isnt some made up statistic. . . that is the statistic provided by the codex.

although your ideas of mars terraforming and space stations certainly have merit, I might just have to make another continuity where the races are indeed trapped in the sol system just to explore the idea!

Sol Era sound okay to you bro?
