Overview ~ Mars, a vastly populated backwater human colony is the front for what would revolutionize and turn the tides of the war against the defying Reapers. On an isolated Archives facility holding untranslated Prothean data caches and information, something in this very archive could be the life line of the galaxy; and the deciding fate of their survival. But when Cerberus gets involved, the situation complicates further. Hellken Thanks a lot! andisart Thanks! Forthwall Thanks Shub Hazani Pratama Thank...

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...

Overview ~Only having been discovered by human probes in the last 5 years, the still uncharted world only given the designation 2181 Despoina, is found to be a planet of vast and never ending oceans of liquid water, with a breathable nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. As the search for an answer to the Reaper war grows desperate, the Normandy's crew is drawn to this very planet in the Psi Tophet system, in search of what appears to be rogue 'Reaper-killing' Reaper. Hidden on this planet, in the depths of a stormy...

Overview ~ The Underbelly of the Terminus systems, Omega is a city carved into the rock and eezo of a mined out asteroid that was once mined by the Protheans 50,000 years ago. Now Omega is a hub of eezo trafficking, crime, homicide, suicide, black markets and everything illegal in between. Up to seven million people in habit this station, littered with nightclubs, brothels, markets, underground trades and dozens of mercenary groups that instill 'order' on the chaotic, anarchistic, but most of all, free...

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.

Huston
Overview ~ Earth, the Human homeworld is a thriving world with a number of dark sides. But meanwhile, in the central United North American States, a freeway leading into Sin City is eerily quiet.

Schulmanator Thanks a lot! mystic_destiny Thanks Alec, is your Australian broadband really that bad? Forthwall Thanks a lot Shub, took me...
Huston
Overview ~ The City of Ark'bor is notorious for its criminal links to Omega Station. Major merc and gang factions from across the Terminus Systems base themselves here, but not typically on Ark'bor, but it's underbelly. The Underground City below Ark'bor is a city devised to test even the most fool-hardy people. No person is safe from death, and no place here is devoid of danger. Like Omega Station, corruption, social tension and confrontations are a big part of the Underground, and so are an eternal...

Huston
Overview ~ A beautiful asari colony, painted blue skies, clear waters and lush vegetation make for a great escape. Recreational resorts and white-sand beaches make it even more attractive to races across the galaxy, as off-worlders flock to this relatively safe, tropical paradise. But when Reapers blast a path through the galaxy, what may become of this slice-of-heaven? Fox: Fox, you're too kind. Thanks SimCoug: Thanks a lot! titanicbuff: Thanks!

Huston
Overview ~ In the crucial hours during which the bulk of Reaper forces began pouring into the many inhabited clusters of the Milky Way, luck remained for a brief time for systems closer to the galactic core. The Caleston Rift's position allowed people for a brief period to evacuate colonies without Reapers striking at civilian transport ships. As the slow exodus of many began, large portions of the nearly 2 billion inhabitants of Caleston were stationary on the ground, helpless and listening to the various...
Huston
Overview ~ Jeff Moreau, earning the nickname 'Joker' in his later life, was raised on the colony of Tiptree, in a rural farming community. His family's homestead lied out on the plains and hills, growing Earth-native crops to serve the planet's local populace and food manufacturing. Living a quiet and ordinary life with his father and sister, it seemed at the time, ideal. SimRico Thanks, always looking to make every update as adventurous as possible Schriefer Thanks! MilitantRadical This one already is,...

Overview ~ On the hot colony of Intai'sei, scattered populations of 150,000 people live across the intense badlands that cover a large portion of the arid planet. In the far reaches of Intai'sei's northern hemisphere, dozens of rural colonies operate on windfarms and solar energy, which is plenty on a planet where the skies are almost consistently clear, except during dust storms. And when the human-earth new year dawns, colonists try to make the best of the situation, and set fireworks off in Intai'sei's...
