Re: The Kett, Jardaan, and Angara are all one in the same.
I could be wrong but I thought the Kett is part of Andromeda but not originally from the Heleus cluster(where the andromeda initiative is currently based)?

The Kett are not from Andromeda at all. Several points in the game show they are an intergalactic species who came to andromeda to exault the native races. This is why there is more than one Archon.
Also its pretty much a given the Jaardan are not native to Andromeda either. You don't build a self powered Dyson sphere that can travel around and act as a pan galactic terraforming hub just to plop it down in your own galaxy. If they were native, they would have been around a lot longer than the 600 years its taken the Initiative to get there. We would have seen evidence of "ancient" ruins, not just a few hundred year old ones if they were native.
Cut and pasted for your reference.
Sarhesen is the homeworld of the kett, located in an unknown system of the Andromeda galaxy. It is the capital of the Kett Empire and seat of its Senate. According to kett history, Sarhesen was united by the invention of exaltation.

They are native to Andromeda, just not the Heleus cluster. On top of that, there are theories that the Jardaan were a Type II civilization. This would line up with the Kett. Since the Kett are still alive, there's reason to thinking that they are grasping a deep understanding of their own technology and are coincidentally making the push to become a Type III. The making of a Dyson Sphere comes at Type II and is essentially a prerequisite to become Type III per energy requirements. If they didn't have a Dyson Sphere or something comparable, there's no way we'd see them in the Heleus cluster-let alone Andromeda-at this level at all. They would have a miniscule presence like the Initiative. As for ancient ruins, we have no idea where their home planet actually is. We may not have seen it yet. That's where they'd be. Again, it's all speculation. It sounds plausible in my head.
I think you learn about the kett empire more during the side quests "Know Your Enemy and Dissension in the Ranks" There is comms recordings between the kett as you progress iirc.
