[hider=The Story] One hundred and fifty years ago on this day, Commander Shepard, along side his teammates and the combined forces of the Milky Way, defeated Harbinger and the reaper threat. Every year, the Citadel Council holds a special event in the presidiums newly built memorial gardens to not only remember those who were lost in the Reaper War but to also celebrate their victory which has brought upon the Milky Way Galaxy a new golden age and era of peace for almost all of its occupants. Commander Shepard's actions played a large part in the outcome of the war, the Genophage has been lifted, the Geth and Quarians have made peace and actively assist each other. The Turians and Salarians are now currently tolerated by the Krogan and the Batarians have been allowed an embassy upon the citadel, alongside being able to colonise more planets. The Mass Relays were heavily damaged but have now been fully repaired. After the death of the Illusive Man, a number of Cerberus soldiers who were left at the mercy of the Council found themselves joining ranks with the Alliance military once more. As of this time though, it is unknown as to what has occurred since the death of their leader, though many high government officials across the galaxy doubt that Cerberus would merely disband and completely fall apart.

Thousands now gather in the presidium memorial gardens upon the Citadel to remember those who lost their lives, those who sacrificed everything so that the rest of the galaxy could live to see another day. The memorial event will then be followed by a celebration across the galaxy in thanks of their new golden age of peace and prosperity. Among the rest, some who are still alive from the Reaper wars will be present to show their respects, some of these were members of Commander Shepard's team, while others merely were fortunate to survive through the onslaught. Each of them will be interviewed live via the extra-net after the memorial ceremony, being asked questions what it was like to fight the Reapers, to fight alongside Commander Shepard and any other memories they wished to share. The event would last for four days, giving everyone plenty of time to show their respects to those who were lost and those who were still alive. As well as giving the occupants of the galaxy plenty of time to participate in the special events that happened around them. 

Millions apply to attend the celebration in person, but only those who win a drawing are allowed to arrive in person. You are one of the fortunate participants who were lucky enough to be allowed to attend the celebration in person, and will be treated very well. Elaborate Banquets of endless food and drink have been prepared for those who are attending in person, countless types of entertainment will run non-stop through the celebration and even more awaits. It is a once in a lifetime chance and an event of such magnitude that no one will ever forget attending.

For attending, there are a simple set of rules that must be followed. The guest is not allowed to carry any weapon upon themselves unless authorized from C-Sec, said weapon can only be a pistol and must remain on safe at all times. Formal wear is requested though you are allowed to wear armor of you choosing if necessary.[/hider] 

[hider=General Information]Hello and welcome to Mass Effect: The Ephyra Incursion! this RP ranges from the high casual to advanced. The story takes place exactly 150 years after the events of Mass Effect 3, where Commander Shepard survived the war. I have decided to stay away from Mass Effect Andromeda and to go with the old lore for the time being, since the new game is kind of lacking in story. The RP will start off at the Citadel during the 150th celebration of the defeat of the Reapers. Something big will happen and we won't stick around the Citadel for long. I plan to have to us visit a lot of the planets from the original Mass Effect games and perhaps even a couple new planets that I have designed. Without getting into to many details, I also want to let you know that we will be fighting a number of familiar hostiles across the galaxy and may even run into something new. We will also have our own ship, with its own NPC crew. The ship will be 1.5x bigger than the NR2. Many challenges and surprises await us in the RP, and I plan to have us quite busy. We will however have down time, some R&R is inevitable, an RP cannot be 100% action, that just wears down upon you. If you would like to see anything in the RP, have any recommendations, suggestions or constructive criticism, please let me know via a PM.[/hider]
