The Nexus serves as the central hub for the Andromeda Initiative, a massive space station where you'll find various services, vendors, and mission givers. It's where you'll report on your progress, recruit new personnel, and access advanced research and development facilities. The Tempest, your personal starship, is your mobile base of operations. Onboard, you can interact with your squadmates, manage your inventory, craft new gear, research new technologies, and plan your next mission. Both locations are crucial for progression and character development, so visit them regularly between missions.
