“Make no mistake — this is a one-way trip.” — Spoilers for Mass Effect: Andromeda follow. |

Following the Remnant vault's reset on Eos, Pytheas becomes the home system of the Andromeda Initiative's first officially successful colony, Prodromos.
The system has salvage, beryllium, and research easily accessible by ship. Resources for large-scale exploitation are locked away due to the usual inhospitable conditions.

Trivia[]
- The system is named after the ancient Greek explorer Pytheas of Massalia who explored Europe in antiquity. However, several of its worlds follow a more eclectic naming theme: 4 named from divine beings and only 1 of which is of Greek origin.
