Anything related to anything in real life is false, I'm just using them, and it is not how they really are.
You will also find that some of the stuff you read will be close to some of the stuff from 'Affinity Effect', I used it as a small guide in some parts. Don't hate me! Please note that some stuff you see as similar is cannon.

2066: Several nuclear missiles are launched from Germany to countries around the world. Targets include: China, Africa, much of Europe, and other parts of the world. Nukes are not lunched at North and South American because they are too far and could be easily shot down.
Four nukes hit china before they know what is going on. The cities: Hong Kong, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Beijing all cease to exist. Two hit areas in African, and 10 more hit military centers around Germany, stopping any immediate counter attack.
Not even hours after the nukes hit, the president of Germany declares war on the Denmark, Poland, Netherlands, and others. It is also found out in the following weeks that he is a Nazi supporter, along with many other in high government positions. The few who aren't mysteriously disappear.
With the nukes hitting many of their military bases, no one can stop Germany from annexing several places around them.
2067: Canada, USA, Mexico, and South American stay neutral in the war, dealing with their own problems.
After regrouping their military from the nuclear attack, France, Italy, Poland, and others launch an attack against German forces and bring a halt to their campaign, if only for a short while.
Messages are sent to Russia and China asking for aid in the war.
Near the end of the year, help arrives in the form of several battalions of infantry and squads of heavy tanks. While not a very amount of forces, it is enough to begin the push against German forces and begin winning this war.
Messages are sent around the globe asking for help, many respond, others don't.
2068: German forces have been pushed back all the way to the capital, and in a last ditch effort, the last of Germany's nuclear arsenal is launched. Hidden silos, nuclear subs, and stealth bombers fire the nukes they have at predetermined targets around the globe. While many are shot down, many still hit home.
Every country in the world is hit at least once, with the larger countries getting hit twice.
Germany's leadership is destroyed and the country collapses into chaos.
2069: Due to the untold damage done by the war, massive amount of people have to flee their homes. This displaces tens of millions of people seeking a new place to live. Much of Europe, Russia, China, and Africa plus other parts of the worlds, attempt to control the flow of refugees, but lose control fast.
Mass civilian uprisings causes governments to deploy their military forces to quell the population.
2071: Humanitarian efforts start around the world, it puts terrible cost on the world's resources.
2074: As the years go on and the governments of the world struggles to maintain control, it becomes increasingly clear that the damage done by the nuclear bombs, wasn't done. The excessive amount of greenhouse gasses released by the bombs exploding has accelerated the climate change and melted parts of the polar ice caps, rising the sea level by several dozen feet.
Coastal regions around the world are affected the most by the loss of the much needed fertile lands.
2076: Brazil, seeing its neighbors in their weaken state from both the bombing and the rising sea levels, invade and conquer the rest of the continent in only a few months and rename themselves Brasilia.
Still recovering from the war, the rest of the world is unable to do anything, and in response to the war, diplomatic relations around the world collapse overnight. The governments of the world turn their focus inward to deal with the numerous problems that plague their people, cutting off their borders and using their militaries to stop anyone from crossing them.
2078: With the rising seas becoming a common threat, Australia, the Pacific archipelagos, New Zealand and the major South Asia nations united to form the Commonwealth of the pacific, better known as Polystralia. Their powers grow quickly and make heavy use of the sea for trading.
A movement begins in Indian with a woman named Kavitha Thakur, who seeks to change the world.
2079: The movement in Indian has spread to Pakistan. Indian and Pakistan undergo one of the greatest cultural transformations that a civilization has undertaken, becoming culturally dynamic, indomitably optimistic, and cleverly resourceful. The two countries combine into one and is called the Kavitha Protectorate in name of the one who started it.
2081: The first ever African Union is made following talks that have been going on for the past decade, combining all of African into one. They focus on continental self-reliance, traditional values of communalism, and a newly-developed sense of shared destiny. They quickly become a major food exporter for the world using their vast lands.
Russia collapses under the economic strain and reform with a few other close countries into the Slavic Federation.
In response to all the rising powers, what remains of the European Union join together into a new government called Franco-Iberia. Germany is allowed in when most soldiers were found to be just following orders and the people didn't want the war.
A large amount of knowledge and culture was lost during the war, Franco-Iberia does not wish for something like that to ever happen again and dedicates themselves to persevering the cultures of the world.
2082: The most powerful businessmen and women in America find the incompetents of the government to be unacceptable, and create the American Reclamation Corporation (ARC) to correct that problem. By using blackmail, bribery, assassination, threats, and backroom deals, the ARC overthrows the US government in months and puts in place a puppet.
ARC spends the next two years taking over both Mexico and Canada.
The Kavitha Protectorate approach Polystralia with talks of trade and a partnership. After a few months of talk to iron out the details, a deal is made. The deal becomes known as the H Pact.
2083: China, Mongolian, North and South Korea, and Japan come together and form the Pan-Asian Cooperative (PAC). They become known as the industrial powerhouse of the world.
2412: It is discovered that the earth is nearing its inflection point; a point where there will not be enough resources on earth to send people into space.
This discovery kick starts a space race between the various world powers as each begins a project known as the Seeding. Each power chooses a planet in secret with hopes that each other is going to a different planet and won't interfere with their plans.
However, while all the other powers go at it alone, the Protectorate and Polystralia come together and agree to go to the same planet. Their deep bond of working together for centuries, support this.
To get to their destination in any reasonable time frame, nuclear pulse technology (perfected 80 years ago) is used to propel the spacecraft through space. Such technology would propel the crafts at an unheard of speed of 10% the speed of light (29,979,245.8 m/s).
However, to reach such speeds for the entire trip, they would need to expend nearly all of their fuel to do so. To counteract this, Magnetic sails will be used inside the solar systems to save fuel and slowdown in their chosen system, otherwise they would be going too fast to stop. They would likely need to travel once around the system to slow down enough.
2420: In a shocking move, the ARC releases the classified data on the planets that everyone has chosen for their Seeding project, expect their own. This act cements the ARC as the best at espionage. All other nations become weary of the corporate.
Tensions rise between the PAC and African Union as each chose the same planet, a terran class planet called Eden. Tensions also rise between Slavic Federation and Franco-Iberia for the same reason over a protean class planet called Pohl.
It is found that the Protectorate and Polystralia are going to a protean class world called Eta Vulpeculae, although no one is surprised. However, Brasilia, who is going to the same planet, is upset because they're going to be up against two nations instead of one. They make plans for the future.
2430: Several supply lines and storages for Franco-Iberia go up in smoke. While it won't stop them from completing their spacecraft, it does set them back by years. They blame the ARC but can't find proof. They tighten their boarders and security, praying that it doesn't happen again, or else.
Unknown to them, a virus was uploaded into their computers.
2435: The Protectorate and Polystralia are the first to launch their ships, with the Protectorate somehow having their still alive leader Kavitha on board. Everyone steps up production, so as not to be left behind.
2440: African Union and PAC are next to launch, racing each other to Pohl.
Near the end of the year, the Slavic Federation launches as well, much to the annoyance of the ARC and Franco-Iberia, with each wanting to go to the same planet.
2443: The ARC and Brasilia are finally able to launch their spacecraft, each hoping to caught up to the others.
2450: After many delays, Franco-Iberia is able to launch their craft.
After a few months in stasis pods, the spacecraft arrives at its destination. The people wake up and look outside to see their new home, only to find a dirty red planet instead of the lush green world they were expecting. The people are confused about what is going on, and start to talk about what is happening. Some believe that they went to the wrong planet, while others believe that it's the same planet, but destroyed. A few check the navigational data to find out what is going on. They find that they are in fact at Mars. Looking through the systems, they find a virus in the computers that changed their destination from Pohl to here. The virus also deleted all other navigational data in the computer. They destroy the virus shortly after.
They contemplate their next move. In order to head to Pohl now, they would need to return to earth to reacquire the navigational data, but with all the data gone from the systems, they would need to input new data for the auto pilot to work, which would take some time.
They could also set up here. While far from ideal, they are already far behind the others because of the ARC. Setting up here would give them a head start on the others, knowing they haven't even made it half way to their targets. Another advantage they would have is when they set up enough, they could connect back up with their people on earth and have supplies bought in.
The matter is put to a vote. Both sides argue of which is best, but being in the home system and being so far behind win out. With that, they commit themselves to the long process to getting the planet terraformed and ready for human living.
2480: The Protectorate and Polystralia arrive at Eta Vulpeculae, awaken to find a world filled with aliens lifeforms. Not willing to anger the local wildlife, they stay clear of them.
Green clouds, duded miasma, are found covering portions of the planet. Miasma is found to be highly toxic and corrosive to nearly everything not native to the planet, expansion is carefully planned from this point forward.
2485: African Union and PAC arrive at Pohl and each land on different continents. The African Union land in a large open plains area, while the PAC lands in a forest.
2488: ARC arrives at Pohl to find the Slavic Federation already well established with one city done and two more on the way. However, two cities are in the tundra part of the planet, and the third one being built at the border of the plains, likely for better food production.
ARC lands near a forest. A few months later, exploders find orange-hued polycrystalline they name Firaxite. It exhibits hyper conductivity at a critical thermal point slightly below the planet's median temperature. More research is needed to ascertain its full potential.
Brasilia lands on Eta Vulpeculae and find the Protectorate and Polystralia have barely expanded at all and seem to stay clear of the local wild life. They use this to their advantage, and expand fast and if the local wild life gets in the way, they are removed.
2490: PAC finds alien ruins in their territory. They began to study and it quickly leads to advances in technology. They drop many projects they have to put more people and resources into studying the ruins. Another is found the following year.
The Union is shocked that the PAC would so readily give up on their own research for alien ones. A movement takes place in the Union's borders, this movement becomes known as the Purity Affinity. This movement believes that humanity should make their own path life and that humans are sacred. They find a strange pinkest glowing rock they call Floatstone, and began studying it for new technologies.
The Protectorate and Polystralia are shocked that Brasilia is so aggressively killing the local wild life, and takes measures to stop them.
The Protectorate focuses on gathering as many of the creatures as possible and moving them to better locations, while Polystralia begins looking into ways to stop Brasilia. While they have more territory, Brasilia has a far larger military force.
Polystralia finds a large pool of green goo they dud Xenomass. Xenomass is found to be highly adaptable, research is done to see if it can be of use.
2495: Massive advances are made in robotics and cybernetics as well as AI research for the ARC.
The Slavic Federation develops special satellites that help with food production. These satellites manipulate the weather to do this.
The Protectorate develop gene slicing. While basic now, they plan to add alien DNA into their own bodies to help them better survive on the planet, and help in the coming war. It is during this time that they learn that the planet is alive. More research is needed.
2500: Brasilia, seeing what the others are doing, starts building its military for war.
After much research, the Xenodrome is created. Said device will allow the Protectorate to send small messages to the native lifeforms that they want to help them. Afterwards, they begin to accept them near them.
2505: The Slavic Federation demands the ARC hand over all technology and Firaxite or else. When refused, they invade. Only for their first attack to be turned against them when they fall into a trap. The trap being when they were walking through a canyon a day out from an ARC city, ARC unleashes its new cybernetic soldiers and CNDR robots above them and raining death on them.
Raids are launched against Brasilia cites with the aliens beside them, dropping miasma bombs as them go, preventing Brasilia from properly counterattacking.
The Union declares war on the PAC, unwilling to let them continue their ways. The PAC is caught off guard initially, but starts fighting back quickly.
2509: The Slavic Federation have been making use of laser satellites to attack the ARC troops in recent years. The satellites send high energy bolts down, destroying nearly everything in a single shot. Anything that survives, is killed in the second attack. However, the satellites are slow to maneuver, and each shot takes a full day to charge, add in the time it takes to make them and the ease it is for them to be shot out of the sky, the Federation keeps them close to home for defense.
The site that controls the satellites lays deep in Federation territory, too deep for a large force to make it without being noticed and taken out. It is also too heavily defended for a small strike force to attack.
The ARC plans to hack a satellite near the site and have it crash into the facility. However, the plan fails because of Cynosure, a supercomputer. The ARC AIs aren't creative to overcome this and human minds aren't fast enough. Neural Uploading is developed, allowing human minds to be digitalized and put into a computer network.
These new minds are just what the ARC needed to defeat the Cynosure and hack the satellites. The facility is destroyed shortly after. The plans on how to make the Cynosure are also taken.
With Brasilia having all of its focus on the ground, they fail to notice several creatures in the upper atmosphere over their last few cities. These creatures begin to drop miasma throughout the cities, slowly killing off everyone within them over the next few years. By the time Brasilia figures out what is going on, it is far too late.
The Union uses its levitation technology to maximum effect. Moving its tanks and artillery far faster than the PAC could react to.
Strange phenomena have been reported around the promethei planum for two decades now, but with effort being more focused on making the planet more livable, no one has given it much thought. However, a prospecting team led by Mateus Silva began exploring near the promethei planum, and found the source of these disturbances when they unearthed a subterranean alien ruin. When reported, the team was paid handsomely and told politely to go away.
Franco-Iberia immediately sends its brightest minds, with some guards, to find out what the ruins are.
2510: The scientists have cracked the ruin's computers and translated them, identifying the structure as a former observation and biosciences station, set up by the Protheans. The motives and conclusions of the Prothean observers remained unknown at this time.
More importantly, they learn about element zero, FTL drives, and mass effect field technology. Several starships are found as well.
Reports are sent back to the main branch on earth, but are left vague so that if anyone is listening in (ARC), they won't know what is truly is being said. It is mentioned that they found something that will change the world, and to prepare.
The next decade is spent researching the new technology and planning what to do about Earth.
2512: With miasma covering their cities and the land, Brasilia is killed off to the last person. The Union at this time also complete the construction of the Mind Flower, a more advanced version of the Xenodrome. However, instead of sending small messages to the native lifeforms, the Mind Flower connects the minds of all the lifeforms on the planet. Seeing no difference between any of them, they rename themselves 'Congruous Collective'.
2516: The Union destroys the last of the PAC and their heretic technology, leaving nothing left. They begin the cleaning up process.
Without the satellites network to defend them, the Slavic Federation is exterminated by the ARC with machine efficiency. With full control of the planet, the ARC rename themselves the 'Sovereignty of Pohl'.
Wanting to free their brethren from their torment on earth, plans are made to help them. But first, they need a way home.
2520: Study of the protean archives has revealed much to the Franco-Iberia people, most importantly, shield technology. Using mass effect technology; weapons, armors, and troop transports are quickly planned.
Earth was going to be recovered, and they would be the tools that accomplished it.
After many years, the African Union finally decide to officially change their name to the 'Piety Republic'.
The Collective find progenitor ruins on the moon, and discover how to create exotic matter. Said matter would allow them to create a warp drive and new means to travel the stars that did not exist before. The Collective begins to rapidly build ships to explore the galaxy, pushed forward by the minds of millions.
2522: The plans for earth are finished and the refits to the starships are done. While the protean ships are not fully complete, they don't need to be, they just need to transport their people. A day is set and equipment is being made. In a few years, earth will join them.
2525: Using the new mass effect drives, it takes minutes for protean ships to make it to earth. The new technology and supplies is shared with the main branch along with their plan to unite the earth.
It is released over the internet about the existence of alien life and that humanity needs to be prepared for when they meet them. Over the course of the next few years, every other power on earth joins them, none wanting them to be unprepared for when they meet any aliens.
2528: All of earth is united and given the name of Systems Alliance. Plans are made to repair earth as much as possible over the next decade.
2530: The Sovereignty of Pohl find a way to open a portal to a different dimension they call slipspace, which would allow they to travel FTL. With this new means of travel, they start constructing a fleet with these new drive cores. Study to fully understand slipspace begins, with estimates putting it at least five centuries.
After nearly a decade of waiting, a small group of researchers have developed a theoretical way to find the subspace dimension. This method uses gravitons to find and hopeful enter this dimension.
Six months later, a ship is made with the necessary equipment equipped in orbit. The ship, Hope, is deployed with high hopes. After activating the scanner for the first time, a space-time anomaly is detected not far away, and a short distance outside the planet's gravity well. The group would have cheered, but they haven't proved it yet, so withheld it. Hope changed course to a short distance from the target location and scans again. The scans reveal a subspace entryway. The crew leaps for job and has a party to celebrate finding it after they landed back on Eden.
With the realization that subspace exist, the Republic pours money into studying it and its uses. The subspace dimension is named phase space.
2533: After years of study, a drive core is made to allow ships to enter phase space. Hope enters phase space and arrives at Trippe, the fourth and last planet in the system, in under 30 seconds. Such a trip would normally take weeks using sub light engines.
Hope returns home.
2535: The past two years have been about exploring the network and upgrading hope to better travel it. However, it is learned that the only way to enter or exit the solar system using this method, is through the star. The reason for this is that larger gravitational bodies are needed to form phase lanes over long distances. Smaller planets, like Eden, aren't large enough to make lanes over such distances, only stars are. This is migrated by the fact that ships can cross phase lanes in minutes for inter solar travel and extra solar travel in less than an hour.
Plans are made, and ships are built. The Republic was going to expand, they were going to find home.
2544: While exploring the phase network, an explorer comes across the Sovereignty of Pohl's world. Believing it a different race at first, they send the first contact package all explorers have (alien ruins). As the explorer was turning around to go home, they are contacted by the unknown ships and find out their humans as well. The ship returns home to report what it had found.
A few days later, a proper diplomat arrives and talks begin. The Republic is initially put off by their extensive use of cybernetics, but still continue with the talks, it's not like they rewrote their DNA or anything. Just humans with more metal in them.
During the talks, the Republic talks about its interest in returning home and helping those there. The people of Pohl agree that something must be done for earth and that their own plan to help earth will be ready in about five years. The Republic asks that they wait for them to find earth so they could do it together, they agree.
With the Republic having a few colonies starting up, the people of Pohl decide they should as well, to give them something to do while they wait.
2548: The people of Pohl send a stealth ship to see how earth is doing to see if any changes are needed for their plans. What they find shocks them. Instead of finding a dying people like they thought, they find the Systems Alliance and earth once again beautiful. They hack into the local network to find out what happened, and what they find interests them greatly.
Being completely autonomous, the stealth ship stays in system to gather data, and keep track of their progress. It is switched out every six months for maintenance and refueling.
2549: The Alliance discovers the Sol system's mass relay orbiting Pluto, previously thought to be a moon, Charon. With Earth almost fully repaired, the Alliance began a rapid campaign of expansion, establishing numerous colonies and constructing a large fleet, even though it had yet to encounter another species. Maintaining this expansion policy, the Alliance activated all the mass relays it could find to seek out new resources and possible colonies. (Taken mostly from wiki, better than what I could make.)
2555: The Republic is informed of the Systems Alliance. They put a halt to the search to find a path to earth while they go over the information they have about the Systems Alliance and think about what path they should take.
Many of the Republic cry in outrage that they are using alien tech, while others lose interest in returning home.
2557: Humanity made first contact with another alien species and everything changed. A short war started, before the Citadel Council put a stop to it months after it started and negotiated peace. With the discovery of the Citadel and the greater community, humanity leapt onto the galactic stage.
The Piety Republic nearly jumped in to help the Systems Alliance, but can't because they don't have a path home. They try asking the people of Pohl to help them, but were refused on the grounds that revealing themselves could very well be lead to the end of them.
They explained that the aliens were of unknown size and strength, and that even if they did help, there is no way of knowing if it would do any good. If they revealed themselves now, they could be destroyed along with the Systems Alliance, but if they stayed hidden, they could get revenge later.
It took weeks for the Republic to calm down and see that staying hidden was the best chose, even if they didn't like it. They were happy when the small war ended.
2559: The Sovereignty of Pohl make contact with a collective explorer and begin talks. The Republic is brought in later to meet them, but war nearly breaks out. It was stopped by the Sovereignty of Pohl before it got that far.
2560: A researcher for the Republic's military displays interest in element zero, more specifically, its ability to manipulate gravity. She theorizes that if it is used on their Floatstone engines, they would enhance their effects and allow limited flight capability.
Only problem, it would be refused because of it being alien technology. After thinking it over and talking to some colleagues about it, she believed she had the answer. By simply researching element zero and its effects from scratch, they would be able to use element zero in their technology.
When it was proposed, most were hesitate to allow it, and others said no. After many days of debate, and yelling at the top of their lungs, the project was given the green light so long as they did the actually research and didn't uses alien technology. A space station was built far from human habitation so the research could be conducted safely and there was no chance for element zero exposure.
2563: The Collective takes interest in biotics and its uses. They introduce half a ton of element zero into one xenomass deposit to see its effects. One year later, the deposit had merged with the element zero and is ready for use. Research is poured into developing biotics.
2564: The Sovereignty of Pohl take note of what the others are doing, and decide to see if element zero can be of use. With a little bit of looking around, they see that element zero can be used to lighten and accelerate projectiles to unheard of speeds. They quickly adept this into their military.
2576: The Skyllian Blitz occurs.
2578: The battle of Torfan takes place.
2580: Seeing the vast genetic potential of the many races in citadel and terminus space, the collective sends a ship to collect it. Arriving on omega, the group seeks out its leader, Aria, and introduce themselves. They ask that they be allowed to do business on omega, Aria agrees so long as they follow her one rule 'Don't Fuck with Aria'. They agree.
The group thinks over how best to go about their task because simply taking the blood they want would easily lead to problems. As they were thinking, they find one urdnot wrex and a plan was formed. They struck a deal with him. In return for 2 liters of asari, drell, elcor, salarian, turian, volus, vorcha, krogan, and thresher maw blood, the collective would give him the cure for the genophage. They do ask that he gather the blood of strong and healthy individuals.
After an hour of working over the details, the deal was set. Wrex gave his blood for the krogan part of the deal and was given the means with which to contact them when he has finished. Blood that is not part of the deal that he collects will earn him bonus rewards depending on what it is. Wrex was given a timeline of five years to complete the deal, or they would look for other means to get what they want. Shortly after, the Collective left omega.
2583: With the attack on Eden Prime and the likely hood of a war that the Alliance can't win, the Piety Republic gets the Sovereignty of Pohl to agree that they need to return home and help the Alliance. The Collective wish them luck.
Contact.

Codex:
Piety Republic:
Bio: The Piety Republic was formed in the year 2520. They seek to keep humans as they are and improve on what makes them great. They are unwilling to use alien technology for any reason, believing humans should make their own path and their own technology. Because they will only use their own tech, they have to research and develop it, often times hitting dead ends, and taking far longer times to make it than others. While some might see this as a disadvantage, it is also an advantage as well. Because they only use their own technology, they know its capabilities far more than others who just reverse engineer tech. Another advantage is the dead ends. When researching new technology, often times you find the path you were taking doesn't help you solve your problem, but solves a different problem all together. Often times these dead ends lead to new technology that can better their people. If you just reverse engineer all your tech, you will never find these other paths.
Military Doctrine: The Republic prefer to fight at a distance and kill off their targets before they can get in close. They will avoid direct combat if possible, but they are prepared for if it does happen. They also make a large use of levitation vehicle, so terrain isn't a problem.
FTL Drive: The Piety Republic make use of the phase drive. The phase drive allows their ships to cover vast distances in a short amount of time using phase lines. Phase lines are naturally formed paths between planets and stars. The current drive cores allows ships to travel at a rate of 120 light years in a standard day. This speed puts it as the fastest drive core by all known societies, however, it is severely limited on where it can go.
Sovereignty of Pohl:
Bio: The Sovereignty of Pohl was formed in the year 2516. They focus on improving technology and improving themselves with cybernetics and augmentation. They make use of sophisticated AI, autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic systems, and in general go the way of bionics, augmentation and merging human and machine. They prefer to always know what they are dealing with at all times, and makes extensive use of stealth ships and a spy network to gather said intelligence.
Military Doctrine: The Sovereignty of Pohl prefer to group together units for various formations and different strategies. They are equally good at close and far ranged combat, but are not master of them. They change their style of combat to suit their needs at any given moment.
FTL Drive: The Sovereignty of Pohl use the Slip space drive. The engine makes ruptures by using high-power cyclic particle accelerators to generate microscopic black holes. This allows them to open holes between real space and slip space. The current drive core allows them to travel at 20 light years in a standard day. This drive core, unlike the others, requires numerous calculations to preform and operate at all time while in use, almost guaranteeing the need for an AI.
Congruous Collective:
Bio: The Congruous Collective was formed in the year 2512. They use biology, genetics and nanotechnology exclusively to the end of altering the human body's biochemistry and physiology in order to adapt it for life on their planets. They also genetically engineer new cross-planetary species. They are society that believes in the good of the whole and working with others.
Military Doctrine: The Congruous Collective prefer combat up close and personal, therefor, their troops and vehicles are made to be quick. However, while they are powerful on their own, in miasma they get even stronger.
FTL Drive: The Congruous Collective use the warp drive. The warp drive forms a subspace bubble that envelops the starship, then it would contract space in front of it and expand space behind it, resulting in an effective FTL travel. The current drive allows a speed of 15 light years in a standard day. This drive core, unlike the others, requires exotic matter to work.

Hello everyone, welcome to my new story. It... it is a hard one I tell yea. I had to keep googling stuff all the time while making this chapter. Man was this hard. My brain hurts. Can brains feel pain, because mine does.
Anyway, I wanted to tell you all a few things. First, my update schedule will be crazy. At this time, chapters could be posted at any time, next week, or next month. I don't know.
Second, my brain hurts.
Third, A lot of tech will be added to each fraction based on who they.
Fourth... did I have something for here... oh yea! Shields. If you look up 'civilization beyond earth battlesuit' in google and click 'Battlesuit (CivBE) - Civilization Wiki' (should be the first one). It says that "Tier2 Battlesuits have a force field"... I did not know this.
Adding in force fields into purity tech... Check.
Harmony has biotic barriers so that's that. But supremacy doesn't. Well I'll give them something, maybe energy shields... maybe.
Well that is all for here, see you all next time. I need a nap.
