After action report
So I just made it through my first playthrough of Andromeda, and I really did enjoy the game. Nevertheless, I did have a few wishes and irritations.
First, problems
That stupid Nomad shield cra...

Unlikely that the Batarians would've built and launched their own Ark. No ODSY drive, and on top of that their upper echelons were already indoctrinated by the Reapers via the Leviathan of Dis. This is pretty much the reason the Reapers opted to start their invasion from Batarian space, because they already had a foothold there.
Yeah, Admiral Hackett comments that the reaper invasion started there, and that they should consider the Batarians history. Although, without the Hegemony, the remaining pockets of Batarians seemed more civil and cooperative (might have been EDI's observation). But I think not enought to amass means to have an ark magically built, then leaving MW under reaper threat and scouts everywhere. If there's a Batarian going to Andromeda, perhaps someone detached, in Quarian Ark, not supposed to be there.

I don't know. The arks got out before the Reapers hit, and the Batarians seem like they'll try to match any human achievement and challenge them for any colony space even if it kills them. That being said, they could quite possibly make a substandard ark (with slightly slower drive, due to stolen ark plans being incomplete) which crashes or is destroyed entering Andromeda, leaving groups of evacuated colonists everywhere.
Conspiracy theory: the ark was built and launched from the Bahak System and the Batarians use the relay explosion to cover up its existence (honestly, even the Batarians should have noticed a giant asteroid headed for their relay)
Maybe bunch criminal, pirates, mercenaries, refugees, corporation, Barbians, mutants constructed a ark
Or
In case anti-reaper weapon failed in ME3, they construct or finish a ARK in mothball and send it to Andromdea with refugees, Babanians, mutants (cyborgs, Genetic experiments, Bionic experiments)
