Oh, hmm, well there are probably hundreds of mass relays in your cluster.
Ships in cluster use normal FTL, they only use the Relay Network when crossing the galaxy, opening unknown ones back in the day led to the Rachni Wars and has been cosidered illegal. What I'm trying to do is activate another Relay out of the cluster, which is in secret because it is illegal and will warrant mass invasion from the Council.
Standard interstellar FTL is what you gave me, it would be more public for the Vorcha and not consider a galactic taboo.

American Imperial State is pulling random laws out of his ass and saying all the deleted users shoudl go to jail for what they did.
The only law he's pulled up is a Canadian Law and only says that state laws forbid it though does not go into detail.

I think you're mixing around cluster and system- traveling from one side of a cluster to another would still be done via secondary Mass Relay, unless I'm sorely mistaken. Clusters can encompass hundreds to thousands of light years of space in volume. Crossing those distances without a Relay simply isn't feasible; conventional FTL in the ME universe tops out at 10-12 light years in a day, and nobody wants to spend weeks or months traveling within their local cluster.

Let me try to clear it up. In gameplay mechanics, I was trying to do this
"Mass Relay Jump: Your vessel, using precisely calculated transit algorithms, jumps to a newly postulated Mass Relay's coordinates. Such a jump is instantaneous, but if the calculations are not exactly correct, the stresses of the jump may obliterate the vessel as if it never existed. 1/10th chance of ship loss, obviously exploration along new Mass Relays has been banned since the Rachni Wars, so you best keep this activity secret if you happen to not want to be a galactic pariah. Has a 10% chance, if conducted near the edge of known space, to reveal the path to a new cluster."
Not the other one.

Yes, precisely. That's exactly what I have you; the only difference between that and an FTL exploration is your likelihood of losing a vessel, the chance to accidentally jump to a new cluster via primary Relay, and the legality of the jump.
I mean, the Geth have literally conducted every single exploration so far via that same mechanic.

Ok, sorry for arguing with you, wasn't understanding the difference between the two. I 'like take the system and it seems that the mission is still going on before the Reapers invade. Thank you for dealing with me.
