Mass Effect: From the Ashes

1510675741

Edited 1510679883
OUR STORY BEGINS HERE: The year is now 2236, fifty years have passed since the Reaper War but this is not quite the idyllic future envisioned by many during the defeat of the reapers. The Batarian Hegemony never recovered from the damage suffered from the initial invasion by the reapers, and is still simply a mass of small groups warring for control of what was once Hegemony Space. A Turrian separatist group, Facinus, has gathered significant political and financial backing and has begun a civil war with the Turian Hierarchy. Striking against both civilian and military targets Turian space is now considered an extremely dangerous place to be. Rumors of sightings of an unknown alien race on the edge of Asari space are wide spread but unconfirmed so far. And the Pro-human group known as Cerberus has been reborn, under new leadership and following their original "Humans First" doctrine they have dubbed themselves Phoenix and are suspected for numerous terrorist attacks against nonhuman holdings across the galaxy, generating significant Anti-human sentiments in many. Mechanically this game will be using the Mass Effect D20 system, based on D20 Modern, if you do not have the book it can be provided to you once accepted. We will be starting at level 4, and will be using 4d6d1 assigned as you see fit for characteristics. Geth are available as a race. Please post applications in the application thread and be aware I am looking for a cool character concept but also someone that will fit in with the group. We have a discord server, which we will be using for voice COMs for the game. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/94673/mass-effect-from-the-ashes" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/94673/mass-effect-from-the-ashes</a>
I am looking for 2 more players for this game. If anyone is interested.&nbsp;
Kinda Sorta Bump Post.&nbsp; -Timeline of the Past 50 Years- 2186 - The Reaper Invasion is ended, after many deaths and a galaxy united. The Reaper's are controlled due to Commander Shepards sacrifice, and used to reuibuild the Mass Relays. The Reapers are referred to as Shepards. 2187 - The Relays are completely rebuilt however the COM buoy chains that connected the galaxy are severed in many places and communication is unreliable and scattered. The Shepards continue to aid in rebuilding. 2188-89 - The reconstruction of the most basic needs of the galaxy are now complete. FTL COMs to all but the most remote locations, Mass Relays and most of the fuel depots that were destroyed by the reapers are operational. The Shepards move the Citadel back to the Serpent Nebula. 2190 - The Shepards, spend the better part of the year scouring the galaxy for any remains of Reaper forces. Collecting husks and collectors and reintegrating them into the fleet. At the end of the year the Shepards broadcast a message that they are now leaving the galaxy, to safeguard from external threats but that they will be watching. They return to dark space. 2191 - With Communications and supply lines rebuilt inter-species political debates are started. It is determined that a new council is required, as they were killed in 2186 when the reapers took the Citadel to earth. After long debates new council members for the original three races and a new human councilor are selected. 2192 - The "mostly" normal operations of the council have resumed. At the Human councilor's suggestion, and seconded by the Turian and Asari councilors, fought only by the Salarians, the Krogan are given the status of a full council race. They chose Urdnot Bakara their council representative. 2193 - The Geth and Quarians are given embassies on the citadel. Assassination attempt of Salarian councilor thwarted by Krogan Specter via application of blunt-force trauma. The Krogan find new Salarian support in political matters. 2194 - The remaining Cerberus cells are found and removed with the assistance of undercover Alliance operatives and Councilor Spectres. The pro-human group is destroyed. 2196 - With the assistance of STG Members and the aide of the krogan, the Shroud facility on Tuchanka is restored and improved, a decade later from project beginning. Much to the Salarian Councilor's long standing disagreement. 2197 - With Council aide as well as support, the Hanar Illuminated Primacy is able to receive the backing they need. A cure for kepral's syndrome is estimated to be complete within a decade. 2199 - With most of the council races basic needs taken care of, and the threat of Cerberus cells is gone, the relief effort for the terminus systems are started in earnest. It is determined that the batarian government is all but gone, and the 10+ years since the reaper attack, Batarians have splintered into many small warring groups. Many relief ships are attacked by the warring groups. The council terminates all aid for the Batarians. 2205 - A cure for Kepral's Syndrome is achieved, and many lives are saved thanks to galactic support and the medical expertise of the Hanar society. 2206 - A memorial is built in recognition of Cerberus' defeat, to remind the Galaxy that focusing on themselves can twist ambitions. 2211 - On the 25th Anniversary of the Shepards changing and helping the Galaxy, many planets celebrate, and a monument is under way to recognize the suffering of those that died during the Invasion. Many planets bid for the right of hosting the monument, but the Council decided that Earth, London, the sight of the Crucible use, will be the location. 2212 - After searching for some time, the Rachni is discovered and pulled into Council space. Their planet is officially given to them, much to Krogan protesting. 2213 - A year later, the Asari build relations with the Rachni, some acting in place as Rachni representatives. 2214 - Two years after beginning political relations, the Rachni agree to have a ambassador, and Krogan disagreements are waylaid. 2217 - The Geth and Quarrians begin a AI construction project for the citadel, creating and teaching them to integrate well with organics. The Counsel begins installing them on high priority ships. Advanced AI's quickly become their major export, second only to advanced Geth technology. 2218 - Rumors that a new powerful Pro-human group has been stirring. Quarians and Geth have colonized multiple worlds in the Perseus Veil and the Quarrian's no longer need exosuits on their home world. 2218 - After 30 years of service the SSV Normandy is docked for the final time, within the Shepard memorial on Earth, London. EDI stays with the Normandy. A second memorial is built by the Systems Alliance, for lost marines during the war in Vancouver a wall with the names of all the lost souls during the invasion. Admiral David Anderson is the named honorary official to which the memorial is built. A new program by the counsel is approved for a new and improved stealth frigates is started. 2219 - Spectre Ashley Williams retires at the age of 61, to live with her family. 2220 - The Leviathans refuse representation on the citadel and all contact is lost with the messengers. Further attempts to communicate with them are halted. 2221 - The Drell submit a petition for a homeworld of their own. With the assistance of Salarian scientists, a terraforming project is begun to make a planet in the Kahje system to match the old world of the Drells. 2230 - The terraforming of the planet is complete and it is renamed Kala, and colonization begins. 2233 - The Turian separatist group Facinus gains significant support from some leaders and politicians in the Hierarchy. These men are deemed traitors but the damage is done. There is much more support for them than ever before. Separatists are estimated to control 20% of the populations hearts and minds. Civil War is officially declared at the end of the year. 2234 - The Raloi return from their self imposed exile and are granted embassy on the citadel. Most of the galaxy is astounded they survived the reaper invasion at all. The system's alliance confirms the existence of Phoenix the Pro-human group modeled after Cerberus. 2235 - The Turian Civil War escalates with Batarian pirate support for Facinus, as well as unknown to most of the galaxy, support from Phoenix, in hopes the Turian groups wipe each other out. The Turians continue to refuse aid from the rest of the counsel. 2236 - Sightings of Unknown ships on the Edge of Asari space cause some alarm but they cannot be confirmed. Official Phoenix attacks on alien civilian and military targets in various places across the galaxy become more frequent and violent. Batarian Slavers and Pirate attacks on merchant vessels and terminus colonies increase.
