Benefactor (contains spoilers)
Anyone notice that the races the benefactor used? Because I only remember krogen, turian, asari, human, and salarian.
In ME3 you can get a picture of Tali so you know what a quarian looks like. I...

I still like Aria as benefactor, coming in power on the last ark out of the Milky Way, under cover of the allied assault on Cerberus HQ/Earth. She winds up bringing as much power to the table in ME3 as most of the major races (even if she skims the cream off the top), has total control of a large region of space, and a strong and deep intel network.
Bonus if she uses Omega as an ark
I was also hoping for some Asari Matriarch or Salarian STG head to be the benefactor...

I'm betting it's the Geth, myself. They'd be very interested in A.I. research (and not biased against it, of course). They have the resources to fund building five Arks and the Nexus itself. They have/had access to Reaper technology (like the OSDY drive that just happens to work very similarly to the Reapers FTL drive.) They are shown to not be genocidal to a fanatical degree (and even tried to save the very few Quarian pro-Geth supporters on Roanok(SP?) while still being casually ruthless enough to kill someone figuring them out.
The fact that the Benefactor had a "legion" of faces and the name Andromeda Initiative could be subtle hints. They could have been active the whole trip over, preparing to move in the background with their own stealth ships upon arrival.

I also keep getting stuck on this idea. Where it's the geth or not, they are involved in some way. I played through my NG+ and I found another factor to include. They mention that the geth had a FTL telescope and the initiative used this to view the Andromeda Galaxy better. Or quicker in a sense. Lol
So why did the geth conveniently have a FTL telescope to view another Galaxy, and if I remember correctly they were already looking at Andromeda!?
AND who the hell went to the quarian home system and magicly found this telescope, and took said telescope which I imagine is quite large and not easy to move, and knew how to use geth technology. Didn't Shepard need legions help to use geth technology?

Suvi is a little sketchy about the details; mostly because she doesn't really understand how it worked (and says so).
You wouldn't have to actually move the telescope/relay, you would just have to "borrow" it by pointing it wherever you wanted and looking. If they were already looking, you would just have to either piggyback/tap onto what they were doing or, more likely, get ahold of their raw data afterwards and study it yourself.
The Geth worked with/held in reverence the ancient machines for a fair bit of time. Long enough to form a separate faction and then split it off... some amount of time pre-ME1. They could of been searching the universe for the rest of the ancient machines.
It depends what you mean by using Geth technology. A mass effect relay isn't Geth technology and the rest of the galaxy uses them quite often.
it will turn out the jack harper we killed was just a fake and the real one is in cryo 😉 and the whole thing is a cerberus plot to rule the andromeda galaxy

i think that thought just made me throw-up a little.
