Mass Effect: Vigil

SETTING◢

It is April, 2187, one month after the battle of Earth. Commander Shepard makes the ultimate sacrifice to destroy the Reapers using the Crucible. It is a costly victory. Geth and synthetics are wiped out. Mass relays are shattered.

While much of the allied forces are able to escape, the destruction of mass relays means the rest are unable to leave Sol. The initial jubilance and grief turn to worry, as a lack of central leadership becomes apparent. The derelict Citadel lies in Earth orbit, while cities below are in ruins. Resources remain scarce, reconstruction is proceeding slowly, tension between species and factions mount, and the desperate turn to crime.

A job broker called Sol Restoration Network (SRN) has sprung up among the few surviving comm grids. In a time when authorities are stretched thin, it offers a way to connect survivors in need of help with specialists in need of purpose. Whether you are a survivor or former soldier, a thrill-seeker or altruistic volunteer, you are among the first to sign up.

GAMEPLAY◢

• Between main story missions, players are encouraged to create "loyalty missions" for their own characters.
• Flaws are mandatory; each character must have at least one significant weakness that is not easily overcome.

Gear

Each character's personal equipment is limited by their class and role. NPCs will provide mission critical equipment player characters lack.

Background NPCs

Admiral Nitesh Singh is the commanding officer of the Alliance third fleet. An aging Punjabi man who wears an Admiral's uniform with a kirpan, graying beards, and a turban in place of a cap. Singh is an accomplished strategist; his cautious and analytical approach makes him the ideal leader for protecting the Crucible. However, Singh's tendency to see the worst in everything and everyone does little for his (lack of) charisma. Though he currently holds the largest command in Sol, non-human leaders hardly see Singh as a unifying figure.

Matriarch Lidanya is the captain of Destiny Ascension. She is currently heading the asari forces in Sol. Her experience leading the Citadel defense fleet makes her believe that everyone's top priority should be salvaging and repairing the Citadel. Lidanya argues Citadel is a more suitable habitat for non-humans compared to Earth, and the cost of restoring it is less than rebuilding the mass relay. Colonel Vaykom, the highest ranking salarian in the system, supports her.

Admiral Ravis Kandros and General Invectus control turian space and ground forces, respectively. Their top concern is the long term survivability of millions of turians in human's home system. Earth does not produce dextro food, and turian rations are finite. Any chances of relying on quarian supplies are dashed when migrant fleet's civilian ships fled upon noticing the Crucible fire. As such, turian leadership adamantly insist on fixing the mass relay above all else.

Dr. Jelize was the chief of the crucible project's circuitry department. The asari scientist now leads the effort to understand the full effects the crucible's activation. Unknown benefactors hired Jelize in expanding SRN's comm grid in exchange for research resources. She accepted, preferring the independent group over military forces.

Description: "My entire unit went berserk! They've been acting weird for the last couple of days. Might be something related to that device we deployed against the collectors. When our human allies investigated, the captain gunned down their leader! I tried to calm my teammates, but they all started attacking the humans. It's like they're in a trance, like that time I smoked [REDACTED]. I took the surviving humans in a kodiak and fled back to the city.

Oh, and the Locust's awake again! I'll explain this part when you get here. Please get here fast!"

Reward: 5000 credits and any salvage found.

News

Week 1 — April — 2187

• Batarian forces led by Balak seize control of Titan. Alliance personnel resisting the takeover have been vented out of the domed cities. This move is widely condemned, with an anonymous Alliance officer calling it "a resurgence of batarian terrorism." There is no comment from Balak.
• Mercenary companies were given staging grounds on former Alliance training facilities on Europa. Last week, a three-way skirmish broke out between the Blood Pack, Blue Suns and Eclipse. The Blood Pack successfully ejects their rivals from Europa, and is using their victory to recruit krogans in the solar system. "Traitor Wrex and his alien co-conspirators abandoned the krogans," their propaganda broadcats, "but the Blood Pack won't!"
• Blue Suns mercs near Uranus capture a turian survey ship heading for Charon relay. The Blue Suns captain demands a hefty ransom from turian command. Admiral Ravis Kandros calls for their immediate release and threatens to retaliate with "overwhelming force".
• Due to above instabilities, travel beyond the asteroid belt is currently not advised.
• A quarian mining ship has been detained by salarian patrols near the Citadel. The quarians claim they were rescuing survivors, while the salarians believe they were looters.
• The largest resistances agree to a resource-sharing plan. They call for scrapping inoperable spacecrafts for rebuilding habitats on Earth. Non-human leaders are invited to participate, but so far none has accepted the offer.
• Bragus Thul, the first krogan quarterback, becomes the mayor of Havana. Thul was traded from the NY Giants to Havana's new football team when the reapers invaded. He led survivors on Cuba after its human leaders were killed. Since Havana is relatively undamaged, Thul is opening up the city as a trade hub.
• Oriana Lawson sets up refugee housing among the ruins of Brisbane. She has agreed to lend ex-Ceberus servers owned by her sister, Miranda Lawson, to SRN.
• Long range communication is reestablished with Alpha Centauri. It appears the Manswell colony has survived the reaper war.
