In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it... [b]MASS EFFECT[/b] [b][u]Mass Effect 2:[/u][/b] One month after the devastating geth attack on the Citadel, the galactic community struggles to rebuild. The alliance fleet made a tremendous sacrifice to save the Citadel Council and earned humanity membership in their prestigious group. Now the Council is forced to respond to evidence that the Reapers - enormous machines that eradicate all organic civilization every 50,000 years - have returned. To quell the rumors, the COuncil has sent Commander Shepard and the Normandy to wipe out the last pockets of geth resistance. Officially, they blame the invasion on the geth and their leader, a rogue Spectre. But for those who know the truth, the search for answers is just beginning... [b][u]Mass Effect 3:[/u][/b] In 2157, humanity discovered it was not alone in the universe. Thirty years later, they found a peaceful place among dozens of galactic species. But this idyllic future is overshadowed by a dark past: Reapers, a sentient race of machines responsible for cleansing the galaxy of all organic life every 50,000 years, are about to return. The leaders of the galaxy are paralyzed by indecision, unable to accept the legend of the Reapers as fact. But one soldier has seen the legend come to life. And now, the fate of the galaxy depends on him. [/hider] When Commander Shepard destroyed the Mass Relays in order to defeat the Reaper threat on the Milky Way Galaxy each Relay caused a rip in the space around it, which in turn caused a wormhole where each Mass Relay used to be. Of course after each Mass Relay was destroyed, intergalactic travel was made impossible, so everyone was left to their own corner of the galaxy, and so each corner of the galaxy began investigating the wormholes. Luckily cross-galactic communication was still possible, and so the Council launched teams from each corner of the galaxy to explore the wormholes. These teams were sucked into the wormholes and never heard from again. This was not reassuring to the Council, and so they chose to ignore the wormholes instead of troubling themselves with these phenomenon. The Quarians, having lost their planet once more and joined forces with the Geth, decided to take their fleet and explore the wormholes themselves. By this point many ships and many individuals of various species had been lost to the wormhole. Unknown to anyone, The Illusive Man survived and sent a small fleet of Cerberus ships and troopers to explore the wormholes, going along himself. [b]In a galaxy far, far away….[/b] Those who explored the wormholes caused by the destruction of the Mass Relays ended up in a strange galaxy with strange beings. The new explorers were welcomed as well as they could be and were soon inducted into the Galactic Republic and given seats on the Senate to give their species proper representation. The newcomers were taught the history of this new galaxy where the wormhole spit them out at. The current events of the galaxy is one of peace with the Republic in the seat of power, and the Jedi once more in their temples, having accepted the Asari Justicars into their ranks as well as any other newcomer who showed signs of being Force-sensitive or having biotic abilities. The term Justicar actually became a rank amongst the Jedi; it was given to the Jedi who chose to follow a more active path in the peace of the galaxy and carry a blaster and a lightsaber into battle. The Sith continue their plotting in the shadows as they always have and will continue to do. It took time, but the newcomers adjusted and began their lives anew in this new galaxy and shared their technology with those of their new home, and all was well until a blight followed them: The Illusive Man. He managed to snake his way into the rank of the senate and approached the Chancellor with plans for super soldiers. He had studied the cloners of Kamino and the workings of biotics from his own galaxy and combined the two, seeking to make clones with biotic abilities and endless ranks. His proposal was denied at first, seeing as it was a time of peace in the galaxy, so the Illusive Man staged a rebellion in secret so his plan would be reconsidered and eventually accepted, making the surgical implantation of biotics a military practice only now. He searched for healthy human specimens for the perfect template for his biotic clone army. He ended choosing a Mandolorian just like the clones from The Clone Wars were cloned from. Having got what he wanted, the Illusive Man intended to steamroll over the rebellion he started, but when word of his super soldiers was leaked, it only fueled the fire and strengthened the rebellion’s resolve. Of course, the rebels had very limited supplies and weaponry. Their weaponry consisted mostly of the heat round-firing guns brought from the Milky Way and older ships as opposed to the Republic’s laser weaponry and more advanced ships. When these biotic super soldiers were created, the Republic felt they no longer needed the Jedi Order and drove them out, forcing them to the edge of the galaxy; they made their new home on the world of Ilum. With the Jedi exiled and looked upon with hatred and fear once more, the Sith reemerged, having formed a tribunal of Sith Lords with each Darth having an apprentice of their own and a legion of Dark Force Users under them as an army. It has been twenty years since the newcomers from the Milky Way arrived in the galaxy and fifteen years since the Rebellion first started. Each faction has had time to gain their own footholds in the galaxy. The Jedi and Sith only have a planet each to their Orders' names to train Force Users they seek out in secret to train, as the Republic attempts to stop all Force Users from becoming Jedi or Sith. The Jedi control the planet Ilum, and the Sith control the planet Lehon, which is also referred to as Rakata Prime. --------------------------------------------------- [hider=Tech] The technology from both galaxies has blended and improved upon. Datapads were forgotten for new advanced omnitools. Laser weaponry is more favorable over the more primitive heat round guns of the Milky Way Galaxy. Hyperdrives have been improved upon with what little knowledge of the Mass Relays followed the newcomers from the Milky Way. Credits are entirely digital now instead being physical pieces of money. The knowledge of the Atlas from the Milky Way Galaxy has helped int he advancement of powersuits. The Quarians have been cured of their low immunity problem with the advancement of medical technology, and can now go about without their biosuits.[/hider] Races from both Star Wars and Mass Effect are present in this RP.
