Mass Effect Galaxy At War Edition



Mass Effect: Andromeda is just around the corner, but that doesn't mean the original trilogy is floating lifeless like an abandoned Normandy. It's still one of the most beloved RPG series of. Datapad contains information about the characters, races, vehicles, weapons, and storyline of the Mass Effect universe, as well as mini-games that interact with the Mass Effect 3 'Galaxy at War' system. It was removed from the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store on June 5, 2013. Mass Effect: Andromeda APEX HQ.

In their 7 years they have uncovered 9 garden worlds 2 of which were dextro based 3 were given to the asari and 3 were given to the Salarians while the last one was given to the Batarians. Relay 314 is opened and the Exploration Fleet jumps.

2579/2169 CE August 7th: …

Being chosen for the task of leading a citadel exploration fleet would be a great honor for everyone it was a great experience. But being stuck for 7 years on the same job quickly lost that prestige and it became mondain. Only finding garden worlds for colonize and no new Civilization like many hoped they would. Matriarch Benezia however knew why she was chosen for this job; it was to get her to stop being a metaphorical thorn in the very real ass of the Matriarch council. But even if the task was mondain and she knew the real purpose of her job at least Benezia was happy that her daughter was allowed access to the freshly discovered prothean Ruins that Benezia found on her mission.

Today was the day her mission would end and she would be back to throwing a wrench into the plans of the Matriarchs back on Thessia. Relay 314 while being the last Relay in the that they were supposed to investigate it gave them much trouble refusing to open many times until the Salarians finally managed to make the relay think that the master command from the Relay hub came to open. She had to give them credit it was a nice trick. They had to wait a day before the ice on the other side cleared as was Citadel regulation. And they were now on their way into the new system. 'How much longer till we make it?'

'2 Minutes Matriarch'

'Good when we drop out I want scanners up immediately and start making preparations if we find any planets for ground based exploration'

the same officer replied 'Yes matriarch' and moved over to a console.

2 Minutes came and went and they dropped out of FTL the bridge crew immediately went to work doing as Benazia commanded. 'Matriarch, Captain Tiberius is hailing us'

'Patch him through' the officer nodded and did as he was ordered. The Face of a Turian appeared on Benezia's screen. 'Yes captain what is it ?'

'Matriarch, orders came through, in 3 days we will have to stop protecting your ships, we have been ordered to rejoin the 27th Patrol fleet. A destroyer will come to replace us in a week' of course just at the last system the turians had to turn back. Something was off, then returning through all the now opened relays with no protection was just begging to be attacked by pirates

'I understand Captain, thank you for your protection of me and my ships' the Turian nodded and disconnected. The bridge returned to the silent humming off engines and the pinging of consoles as the crew kept scanning. For a moment at least because not even a full minute after she had disconnected the Captain, the sensors officer spoke.

'Matriarch, we have found a garden world in the system' 'that's great then bring us in further' 'we cant matriarch'

'why is that ?'

'there are over 120 ships in orbit of it. 100 are heading our way as we speak'

'Ships? What kind of ships?' 'from the looks of it, Warships, the largest being 5.2 Kilometers long.' Asari normally had blue or purple complexion, but Benezia was white at this moment and she wasn't the only one everyone on the bridge also went pale or stared in disbelief.

She stared with her mouth open at the senor operator and didn't notice the incoming hail from the Turian cruiser that served as their escort. After a moment she regained some of her composure and answered the hail 'Y- Yes captain?' she said in a shaky voice the captain was arguing in the background

'What do you mean they just disappeared? Matriarch, we have to get out of here now !'

'We cant captain we have made first contact, escaping could be viewed as a aggressive move' 'Matriarch, they are sending 100 warships our way, 2 of which are super dreadnaughts longer then the destiny ascension I do not care if its first contact or not, at this moment the safety of the entire expeditionary fleet is my most important objective and I am ordering you to retreat.'

Benezia's sensors officer yelled '4 cruisers just jumped between us and the relay, we are cut off !' Benezia looked back at the captain who also received the same information. Even if he was a turian, he wouldn't pick a fight with 4 cruisers while he only had 1 cruiser at his disposal. Now he would listen to her and let her talk their way out of here.

'Looks like we aren't going anywhere captain, now let me handle this and maybe we will have a new race on the citadel soon.' The captain begrudgingly accepted and disconnected. 'Communications, transmit our first contact package on all frequencies' the communications officer nodded and did so.

Now came the hard part of waiting in anticipation and horror as the 100 ships encircled the small exploration fleet. 2 hours of waiting later her communications officer perked up 'Matriarch, we are being hailed, video and audio' Benezia swallowed a lump that was in her throat and accepted the hail, she was going to meet these new aliens, when she came back the matriarch would eat from her hand.
