Chapter 30 - What is the Galaxy Map from Mass Effect? (Patreon)

Prior to the Collector invasion and the deal I’d worked out with Starfleet when I’d licensed to them the Galaxy Map technology, the amount of information I had had access to and fed into the Galaxy Map system was minimal, at best, information largely available to civilians or through purchase on the commercial market. I simply didn’t have access to the various powers’ sensor networks or their vast fleets of ships all over the galaxy. It was different now. Part of the deal I’d worked out with Starfleet was that I would be granted access to all the data coming into the system. That was something which they had not shared with the rest of the Alliance, but I really didn’t care. Once the Collector crisis was over my access would be officially terminated, but I was saving everything I was being given now so that I could use it in the future. Little did Starfleet know, but I had also built in my own backdoors in the Map software which should continue sending me information they input into the system. It remained to be seen if they would catch on to my access or even continue using the Galaxy Map system itself, though.
