Overview ~ The Normandy crew finally gets some well deserved shore leave. But when an unknown mercenary gang chases them through the streets of the Citadel's Zakera Wards and attempt to eliminate them to fulfill their objective, the seasoned Normandy crew retalliate; taking every necessary step, making the strangest discoveries and encounter a number of strange situations. What happens then? What's going on? Why is there a Volus charging overpriced Pizza? Replies (1) Very impressive! Thanks a lot! Dude!...

REPLIES __________________________________________________________________ Benedict: Thanks Benedict! lew1984: I know right? Thanks a lot! Fox: Thanks Fox. I can't imagine 3 1/2 days of night either, It'd probably be tiring haha. MilitantRadical: Thanks! InvaderNat: Oh, that's not really how dark 'dark nite' is. I just made it intentionally darker with PS to emphasize on the total darkness experienced on Elmere. That and I wanted to get rid of the green color of the terrain cause of course, it's a barren...
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 ~ The planet of Feylos, a very young Asari colony, harboring a recently discovered Prothean Artifact. With it's contents and stability unknown, transporting the artifact could be of a hazard to the crews and could even result in the potential loss of the artifact itself. Not to pass an opportunity like this, scientists of all background, and a large number of Asari scientists have flocked to the dig-site to investigate the new Prothean artifact, that could hold anything from historical archives,...
Huston
Overview ~ The beautiful water world planet of Salacia, covered in vast ocean has wonders below its surface, just as beautiful as its trickled green archipelagos. Though mostly unmapped, few mining outposts are located around these oceans and seas. Marine life of many sizes and appearances lurk all over its dozen kilometer deep oceans; and some of the shallowest zones of the planet's oceans harbor known and unidentified stations and underwater outposts. One of which we'll be visiting now. Hellken I like...
Huston
Overview ~ The planet of Kanaze in the Nesu'luun system is a planet profoundly composed of a criminal population. When the world is attacked by the Reapers, people are sent into mass hysteria and the planet's capital, Ark'bor is thrown into chaos and destruction. Does this city, let alone the planet, stand a chance of surviving this invasion? ggamgus Thanks a lot fatjuice888 Thanks Terring Thanks Terring mystic_destiny Thanks Alec, I think Virmire's coastline appearing like this was originally inspired by...
Huston
Overview ~ Humanity's homeworld is under siege with its vast cities and landmarks being decimated by incoming Reapers. Overwhelmed, metropolises around the globe fall one by one and the Earth's disparate nation states fall silent. As the Reapers continue to round up civilians for processing, they begin to shift their attention away from already conquered cities and turn to sparsely populated rural regions where many lie in hiding. But will humans in rural areas remain safe and out of harm for long in a...
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...
Huston
Overview ~ The quiet and mostly dead world of Feros is blanketed in two-thirds of 50,000 year old Prothean ruins. The ExoGeni Corporationa and a group of colonists have setup a new home for themselves using one of the aged Prothean tower structures. But when they get the feeling of indoctrination and have no real awareness of it, suspicion is raised over why it's happening, and the Thorian of Feros might be the answer. And as that happens, the Heretic Geth go on an operation to retrieve the Thorian as...
Huston
Overview ~ In the distant Liberator star system, Kronis sits in the darkness of space with large deposits of untapped eezo waiting to be mined. A Turian pioneer discovers this financially beneifical planetary system and the Turians are the first to exploit the planet's riches. But with sketchy business in Terminus space, pirates and other marauders are always a potential risk when transporting precious element zero out of the system. But while transport ships are always a great target, the true riches lie...

Huston
Overview ~ Along the far edges of the Milky Way galaxy, in the Valhallan Threshold lies a dwarf world filled with eezo. Human's exploiting the planet in the past were quarantined on Israfil's various mining facilities in fear of infection by a organism responsible for the deaths of those located at Jump Zero or Gagarin Station during a terrorist attack by the group 'Totenkopf'. Now closely monitored by the patroling Alliance cruiser, the SSV Manila is currently passing by one of the Eezo Recovery/Mining...

Forthwall: Thanks Benedict: Thanks Benedict! Fox: Thanks a lot Fox! Schulmanator: Ha, Thanks! RepublicMaster: Thanks!! SimCoug: Lol, hope its not too much KonstantinII: I appreciate the suggestions, but this is specifically based on a game, and I'm using only vehicles and technology from it (Mass Effect). I'd use plugins, but there aren't any SC4 BATs and models from Mass Effect so Photoshop is my next best option. But thanks anyway! Hazani Pratama: Thanks! IL.: Check the link at the bottom of the update,...
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~ Endeavor, the third largest human colony on Ferust. With a city littered with colonial prefabs and rising skyscrapers, though plain, the city can still excite. Exquisite picture-perfect mountains in the background, while a small yet sprawling metropolis sits undisturbed and its inhabitants, colonists sacrificing their old lives on Earth, enjoying their new one in this new decade old colony. But when turmoil strikes the galaxy, Endeavor is not left in dark by the galactic invaders. It was a only a...

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...

Overview ~ Kasumi Goto, one of the galaxy's most notorious and most skilled master theif, has her roots in the Southern Japanese city of Osaka. Her mischievous past living in the relatively crowded city has painted her personality, her way of life and eventually leads to her life as a master thief. In the city of Osaka, a city with several million people, towers, small high rises and buildings flood the skyline, almost similar to its early 21st century form. Though the population of Japan has almost...

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 ~ John Shepard's sketchy past begins in the back alleys of some of New York's most poverty stricken and slum filled areas, in a place that's almost been long abandoned by authorities. The world's large population now proves difficult to allocate land for development and agriculture, and even with the wealth of a growing number of extra-solar colonies and a decade after the first-contact war with the Turians and exposing Humanity to the wider galactic community, the gap between the rich and poor...
Huston
Overview ~ Kaidan Alenko, a crew member of the Normandy throughout, is born and raised in the Canadian province of British Columbia. His family Moves from the sparse Canadian countryside into the ever dense megalopolis that is Vancouver. In a world that is running fast out of space, cities grow ever higher into the skies. In Vancouver, new high-rises and skyscrapers tear through old town housing and 21st century infrastructure to make way for the city's rising population. Now Vancouver stands as a...
Huston
Overview ~ In the depths of the Sentry Omega cluster lies the Hoc system, hosting a beautiful tropical garden world typically known as Virmire. Situated in the depths of ungoverened Terminus and Traverse space, power struggles and local warlords make it impossible to make any efforts at colonizing the virgin garden world at a large scale by any species in Citadel Space. Abandoned by the Council as a colonial prospect, the planet hosted a staging base for the indoctrinated Ex-Spectre Turian Saren. Sent to...
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
___________________________________________________________ It's been almost 2 centuries since the turn of the millenium, and Humanity's fast paced world and increasing technological capability has jumped a long way from a monsterous world, consuming masses of fossil fuels to a civilization, using a variety of cleaner sources of power and energy. Humanity has even spread far into the abyss of our Milky Way Galaxy after discovering advanced FTL-drive technology hidden in the later identified, Prothean ruins...
