Alright this is the background for a crossover story between Red faction and Mass Effect. Read and tell me what you think.
I do not own Red Faction or Mass Effect.
2125: Red Faction kicked the EDF off mars at the time the EDF retreated back to Eos they found some ancient ruins on mars belonging to a long extinct race, but when the Red Faction began to assault HQ they destroyed the fortress and sent all data and artifacts discovered back to Earth. That is when the people of earth developed mass effect technology.
2126: a Memorial is made in Parker with the list of all guerilla's who died in the second Martian revolution at the top is Dan Mason
2128: Red faction engineers and marauder scientist complete the prototype mark II mass driver based off the rail driver used by the EDF. This was made to allow heavier payloads to exit atmosphere. Designed for global defense purposes
2130: Earths first mass effect powered ship is completed for a go for broke plan to colonize another system. Samanya is killed by an unknown faction, RF blames the marauders and this causes tensions to rise between the two powers.
2131: EDF ambassadors meet with Red faction and Marauder delegate to discuss a treaty. Later in the year the treaty is made and is famously summed by former RF guerilla Alec Mason "Basically it says you don't shoot at us and we don't shoot at you"
2132: the EDF is changed into the Systems Alliance to reform the economy due to a successful colonization effort into another system.
2135-2145: scouting and colonization of other planets by the Systems Alliance is met wit resounding success
2149: colonization of Shanxi begins
2150: White Faction crisis though defeated the revolutionary hero and former guerilla Alec Mason dies. White Faction leader Adam Hale goes missing and is believed dead. Due to white faction being remnants of the EDF this cause political tension to rise between the SA and the RF, the SA deny any knowledge of these soldiers, and eventually tensions ease. Also an alliance is formed between the RF and marauders
2156: another ancient artifact is discovered on the edge of the Shanxi system, due analyzing the artifact they discovered that the name of the race is Prothean
2157: Artifact becomes active, this however gains the attention of another race later identified as Turians. The alien race then attacks Shanxi. This conflict lasts for three months is later known as the First contact war. The human fighting capabilities catch the eye of the council and a treaty is formed. The people of mars are kept in the dark though.
2160: Red Faction and Marauder colonization group move to colonize another system outside the Sol system but still well inside human space. This planet is more earth like than mars and the planet is more of an eye candy than an economy benefit. The marauders name it Capek in honor of their deceased leader/founder, this unsettled the RF colonist but they did not mind as they moved to Capek's neighbor. This however was mostly barren but had a large supply of minerals, ore, and fresh water. This is named parker mainly in retribution of Marauders choice of name but also to honor the RF fighter during the first revolution and in honor of the sector that second revolution started in.
2165: the Systems alliance is granted an embassy on the Citadel.
2169-2170: Adam hale remerges as the leader of the group of marauder cultist and wages war against the RF met with little success. The final battle took place at the terraformer, he is found by Darius mason and shot just as he detonated the explosives. Everyone thought this was the end but thanks to Darius's quick thinking and the nano-forge the terraformer was repaired. Darius was commended for his bravery and was promoted to lieutenant.
2172: A seal belonging to an ancient race is discovered in Bradbury Canyon though it's different from Prothean which the RF still has no knowledge about. Described as "some big metallic ominous looking thing" by Captain Darius Mason, who was running security for the expedition. When the seal was broken air rushed and inhuman screaming was heard from below as the expedition descended they discovered audio logs and Ultor building remains, along with many dead aliens. Audio logs revealed that these creatures would have been a threat to all the people of mars.
Read and review.
I shit you not these are actual dates in the two games I mostly stayed to the cannon for each with a few minor and major changes. I find it kind of funny how the dates line up with each other. Convenient isn't it?
P.S. i laughed my ass off when i found they have Mr. toots as a character choice. i mean seriously!
