There are actually 90 stars (or similar celestial objects) with 20 light years of Earth. It's not really that impossible, especially with how many planets we can detect already.
i'm not an astronomer, so i'll take your word on that. did i compare MEA to actual reality? if i did it was not my intent. i was just trying to point out that in the previous trilogy there were typically only 3-4 star systems in a cluster, i think the smallest was 1, and the most was something like 7... so now in this single cluster we have 38 star systems. is there anything to that?

Probably a reminder on how astronomy is finding exoplanets, much more common than it was ever thought. However, the point is finding viable planets at short distances. Even our nearest star neighbors have planets, and slowly we discover more.
Andromeda is bigger than the Milky Way, have the double or more than the double of the number of stars, it is also much more massive, so it might be a but more cluttered, depending on where they pick to explore. Besides that, they have Meridian, something that doesn't have in MW, which makes a chained effect of terraforming. Having a Meridian in Milky Way would probably change the galactic starchart a little.
Speaking of which, some crackpot might want to steal Meridian and carry it to the Milky Way.

Hahaha, yeah, I think you should stop it right there 😉

Oh no... this has somehow devolved into Astronomy class... I feel like I need to go back to college just relate to the last half of this thread 🙂
My answer is simple: the vaults make things workey-workey on the planet thingy-ma-bobs so that life can find a way...
