_____________________________________________________________________ Note: Well lol, hello. Randomly decided to make something quick again. It's a shame I haven't been able to make anything more ambitious, but I thought this would be a nice intro to the other side of the Mass Effect Universe. _____________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________

Huston
Overview ~ Over 20 years after the reaper war, some normality begins return to the galaxy. Many of the galaxy's mass relays have largely been repaired and reactivated. With the reaper threat on the galaxy curbed, the large, formerly sentient machines now litter the galaxy's many worlds after they fell in 2186. While large numbers of the reaper capital ships, destroyers, processing ships and other classes of reapers have been removed, many still lie derelict across the galaxy. On the small asari backwater...

Overview ~A glimpse into the later future as a seemingly routine investigation on the colony of Akuze commences. But there's still a long way before this seemingly unfortunate future crosses into John's sketchy life.TonraqI would but it's hard Meanwhile, I'm not sure why they weren't appearing.

Huston
Overview ~ Two very disparate planets on opposite sides of the galaxy, we'll soon get to see what these worlds are like, and what makes the planets tick as the galaxy spins on. gviper Thanks MushyMushy Thanks dude Tonraq Don't hold your breath yet, still got a bit of a hiatus going (just peaked in activity cause I've got a little time and procrastination available ) Thanks though! Kim Sunwoo Just the dust clouds, steam and any light clouds. That's about the extent of photoshopping on that update...
Huston
Overview ~ Set up on a world destined to die, A very crucial communications relay base under Alliance jurisdiction, allowing the Alliance to carefully monitor and relay private human military communications via its several dozen QECs and its several communication bases. What is to be of this desolate world? Kim Sunwoo Thanks Benedict Thanks, it's been a very long run, and it's ben really fun altogether MushyMushy Thanks tankmank Thanks, and it may be some time before they get on the STEX Sexysark:P jmsepe...
Huston
Overview ~ With the Alliance defense fleet guarding over Earth decimated, advancing Reaper forces take the war to the ground, first landing across the world's major cities. Vancouver, home to the North American Alliance headquaters, is brutally assaulted with capital ships, destroyers and ground forces landing all over the metro. Within minutes, the Reapers lay waste to the bustling city, grinding it to a halt and forcing locals to evacuate. Admiral Anderson and Commander Shepard, with the intent to flee...
Huston
Overview ~ After the destruction of the first Normandy in 2183, the casualty count from its loss over Alchera number to about 20 MIA, all eventually recorded as KIA. Among the fallen is the ship's captain and commanding officer, John Shepard, in which a private memorial ceremony is held in his honor, buried in the Vancouver, Systems Alliance National War Memorial. coolwiththecool2 Thanks a lot Kisa Atsuko Thanks Dryan. That means a lot tankmank Thanks Mymyjp Haha, they're quite pricey. Unless you can shell...
Huston
Overview ~ As the reach of the reaper war extends further into council space, batarian star clusters are left alone to fend for themselves with no allies to call on. The batarian hegemony has been eerily silent and many war analysts, high ranking military officials and politicians have assumed that batarian territory had likely been decimated by the fast incoming reapers. With batarian space in flames and under siege, batarian colonists begin to panic, vacating colonies within days and weeks and then...
Huston
Overview ~ From lawless Terminus worlds, to the safety of Citadel Space; Over 40 planets explored across 68 episodes, through thick and thin, civility to war and vastly different environments that may always remain alien to the human race. Here's to two years of Mass Effect: The Milky Way. MilitantRadical Thanks. I didn't actually think of it that way at first, but I can see why you think it TekindusT I'd probably rather a comic. I'm not exactly the bookish type Tonraq Thanks slickbg56 Lol, thanks Mymyjp...
Huston
Overview ~ Dispatched to eliminate the 'last remaining' pockets of geth along the Traverse and Terminus regions, the Normandy SR-1 and it's crew of dozens are caught under-fire by a unrecognized cruiser-like vessel. The prototype Alliance vessel is decimated by direct-hit shots, and over two dozen crewmen are lost; including Normandy's captain. Soon after, the remains of the Normandy SR-1 make planetfall on the Alchera system, with scores of escape pods of the surviving crew members remaining in orbit....
Huston
Overview ~ An Asari commercial and economical haven, Illium is revered as one of the galaxy's wealthiest and most prestigious colonial settlements. Harboring the rich and wealthy, the asari dominated world harbors the affluent of all different races, some notably from territories in Council Space to the far out Traverse and Terminus clusters. Major population centers on this arid world garden world lie mostly to the far north and south where temperate bands and cooler temperatures closer to the planet's...
Huston
tankmank Thanks, seems I've gotten what I was going for Lexus Infernus I've released them! I hope you still don't have a death wish for me slickbg56 Thanks for the five stars KonstantinII May be, but the damage to the city wasn't all that fresh. It'd been destroyed months before. Perhaps if the bombardments was more recent, the smoke would be appropriate. But thanks nonetheless SimCoug Thanks! Glad you like'em -- you of all people as well what with your lots tonyr Thank you! Bastet69008 Haha, just wait...
Huston
Overview ~ One of the galaxy's harshest worlds, the unstable political landscape, heated race relations and the loss of major infrastructure left Anhur and its cities a crumbling mess. War torn Anhur, revered for its atrocities violating sapient rights, leaves its human and batarian inhabitants to paint an event, forever embedded in galactic history; and the long standing rivalry and cold distance between the two feuding races co-existing on the planet. MilitantRadical Lol ha, I'd prefer a singularity +...
Huston
Overview ~ Searching the crowded streets of Terra Nova's capital city, the Normandy's shore party of eight find themselves circled by husks and hostile units in the Reaper occupied city of Scott. With no where but the coastline, how will this hectic retrieval mission for important Intel end? Schulmanator Thanks, and that's a fact. Though I'm not all to distraught about it's destruction. It was owned by criminals SimRico Thanks a lot, great to see you enjoyed Richie99 No need, they were built by humans...
Huston
Overview ~ A world of water, islands and crime... Like Salacia, Trident is a planet of beauty and tropical wonders. However, harboring criminals fighting for real-estate, the similarities begin to end - Yet they begin to seem similar come the Reaper arrival, with the Alliance walking away from liberating the Hades Nexus. What becomes of this so called 'Paradise' now? Terring Thanks a lot Schulmanator Thanks, really is a good mission, chasing down the Shadowbroker Richie99 Haha, awesome, well hopefully I'll...
Huston
Overview ~ Three Locations in one episode as a commemorative tribute to ME:TMW's 60th episode. Explore Earth's spaceports, the elusive Shadow Broker Base and the time of contact between the needed SSV Nairobi scouted by the Normandy on Parag, a world of the Ming System. jmsepe Thanks a lot, feel free to ask me about anything to do with photoshopping if you want. I'll gladly help Schulmanator Thanks, second time round huh? Tonraq Thanks Carl SimRico Not to worry, I'll still be around from time to time, like...
Huston
Overview ~ The Eden Prime system has been at the forefront of the war, starting with the raid of Sovereign on one of it's farming regions and digsites, to obtain rare Prothean tech. As a region burned under the destruction brought upon by Sovereign, a 'covert' pickup operation to retrieve the unearthed beacon was undertaken by the Normandy SR-1's Captain Anderson, dispatching Shepard, Alenko and Jenkins at drop-point outside the digsite. tankmank Thanks a lot Richie99 Thanks, it's all down to BATing and a...
Huston
Overview ~ A deceptively hot and beautiful garden world, the remains of ship drive cores containing eezo has caused the planet's terrestrial biota to adapt biotic abilities that have caused many troubles and issues with many of Eingana's animals showing biotic tendencies that have put the lives of previous colonists at risk. Eingana today remains on the fringe of potential colonization prospects, with dangerous fauna impeding development. The only inhabitants that Eingana attracts are no more than...
Huston
Overview ~ One of the most dense and chaotic asteroid fields in the known galaxy, the Imyar Belt is host to a number of large asteroid to dwarf planet bodies. Though one of the asteroid's in the belt have been suspected of heralding a possible military or listening post installation, the Batarian Hegemony denies the existence or significance of the asteroid, Vi'Azak. But sometimes, one may be able to see past the very opaque politics and propaganda of the hegemony. Schulmanator Lol, thanks a lot, I love it...
Huston
Overview ~ The Eco-shard. Prothean technology witholding vast amounts of physical Prothean memories, the broken remains of a long dead race. And as Javik remembers, he goes back to a world that was long lost in the Reaper-Prothean wars 50,000 years ago. SimRico Same, and in any case, that's probably what's happening Schulmanator It's not as bad as it sounds. Besides, how else are those prefabs gonna be placed there? Schriefer Yeah, they're supposed to be Colony administration centers and like miniature...
Huston
Overview ~ Horizon is one of humanity's more familiar colonies, drawing heavy immigration for its high compatibility with Earth-native vegetation. But before Horizon's name was featured on the holos of vast galactic media-outlets, it was a peaceful and settled Terminus Colony, one that would prompt the action of Alliance members to pay closer to attention to human frontier colonies. jmsepe Thanks, great to see you reading ME:TMW. And the game is in the title MilitantRadical Ouch, that was a really sandy...
Huston
Overview ~ Reports of Rachni plague Krogan comms after a scouting team in the Utukku system, beyond the rachni relay, causes for question the possibility of the ongoing existence of the rachni race. As Wrex warns John about the abnormality in the Traverse, he along with Garrus and James join the already deployed Aralakh Company, a renowned group of Krogan commandos, searching for the missing scouts. As they land at Base Camp, John and Garrus find themselves being greeted by a familiar face. Terring These...
Huston
Overview ~ On the desolate world of Awanur, suprisingly neighboring the human colony of Ekera and blanketed by vast barren deserts of rock and sand lies a batarian-operated mining facility. Striking at the vast deposits of copper, tin and aluminum, the batarians of Awanur's Takolik Unorac Mines remain oblivious to the construct behind the ring of rocks, having not detected its presence, due in part to their lagging technological advancement, and partly due to their ignorance. Solely focused on the mining...
Huston
Overview ~ Rakhana, the arid homeworld of the drell was a once world to behold, before their exodus from the planet by their first contact saviors, the hanar. Though stretched with harsh badlands and scarce water sources, the drell fared in the low billions on the planet in the later pre-millenia centuries. But as the industrial age dawned, their rapid expansion and technological advancements as well as rapid overpopulation and growing demand forced their world and civilization into a devastating...
