What is this Galaxy At War stuff on the main menu?

Question

I see this when I start up the game. What does it represent? What makes the percentages change?

Answer

Galaxy-at-War is Mass Effect 3's multiplayer. That's not the important bit - what you should be interested in instead is the "Galactic Readiness Rating". The idea is that the Reapers are invading, and the Galaxy is not, well, ready. How the main storyline resolves depends on the Galactic Readiness Rating when you go on the final mission.

There are three ways to increase Galactic Readiness Rating:

• Side missions within the main Mass Effect 3 game
• Winning matches in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer
• Using one of the Mass Effect 3 iOS apps

The Mass Effect Wikia has a little more on it.

That screen, in particular, represents the multiplayer aspect of Galactic Readiness, and should be constant across all Mass Effect 3 players.
