Heleus Cluster

The Heleus Cluster is a seemingly resource-rich region of space in the outskirts of the Andromeda galaxy. It consists of 38 star systems and hundreds of planets. At its apparent center lies a massive black hole, the formation of which may have been the cause of the cluster's rich Element Zero deposits. The extragalactic travelers from the Milky Way known as the Andromeda Initiative plan to establish a foothold in the Heleus Cluster by settling an initial seven viable locations known as golden worlds.

The cluster has a high prevalence of ringed terrestrial worlds in comparison to those that can be visited by Commander Shepard in the Milky Way.

  • Dar'hegah was the first batarian astronaut.
  • Eriksson is named for Viking explorer Leif Eriksson.
  • Kindrax was the first turian aeronaut to cross one of Palaven's oceans in a balloon.
  • Pfeiffer is named for Austrian traveler Ida Laura Pfeiffer.
