#1SithLord: Thanks! Mass Effect's my own favorite Sci-Fi, if not the game entirely aswell I actually have slipped in some Reaper invasions in other updates as "flashforwards" but this update is focused on the invasion. But it's about the Protheans rather than the Galaxy in the CE.
MilitantRadical: Thanks! Been playing ME2 aswell and moved on to ME3 lately to run through the game again Guess I'm searching for more ideas and inspiration.
Lance83: Thanks you so much

Notes: Here's another update on another official Mass Effect planet. But there's also something very different about this update. It's set 50,000 years before the present Galactic civilization was established. In the perspective of the Protheans, a formerly exisiting Galactic race that was taken into the edge of extinction.
Here is Eden Prime, a colony of the Protheans, in a time before Humans arrived and colonized the planet...
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Eden Prime. A human colony. Located on the fringes of Terminus space. A vast agrarian world filled with arcologies and spanning human colonies, it stands as a symbol of human endurance and their ability to be able defend an extra-solar colony.
But before Humanity took even a single step on Eden Prime, the planet had previously belonged to the formerly dominant Prothean race. The planet had even been in the possession of the Protheans long before Humans, Asari, Turians, Salarians and other galactic races developed any true intelligence and innovation. They remained primitive against the Protheans who studied them as an occupation, tracking the curve of their evolution.
The world almost 50,000 years ago was only one of many planets that the Prothean Empire spanned. It harbored many large cities and the presence of Protheans was extremely evident and were vastly numerous in population across the Eden Prime. Though they prospered on the planet and saw no threat to their colony; when the 50,000 year cycle of the Reapers again began and chased their empire down to edge of existance, Eden Prime was not spared the inevitable fate of destruction.
The Protheans were losing. Their Empire was crumbling. And they had a plan to save their race from extinction...
Their intriuging cities that once dotted the surface of Eden Prime were beautiful. Towers were only few in numbers and the Protheans lived on without a shred of doubt their colony was safe.
But upon the arrival of the Reapers, planets across their Empire fell quickly as their chain of command, and government fell quickly first when the Reapers crossed into the Galaxy through the Citadel Relay, through what was the Protheans capital at the time. Eden Prime was no exception, and the planet was ravaged by the invasion, with Protheans facing certain doom as a sapient synthetic race more advanced than themselves assumed the obliteration of their civilization.
Though to avert the destruction of their race as a whole, they devised a plan which would see 1 million Protheans in stasis...but only 1 who would live to see the next cycle when indoctrinated members shared their plans with the Reapers and the location revealed, threatening their survival plan.
Their cities were decimated by the Reapers, leaving nothing to stand. The chances of anyone surviving here were next to none.
The fought with whatever they had and whatever remained of their military on Eden Prime. Their demise was inevitable, only fighting against futility.
The Protheans. A hyper-intelligent race that existed 50,000 years before the Galaxies modern sapient species came to take over, were destroyed. What fate do those in the next cycle have?
