INTRO
Welcome to Mass Effect: The Republic, before this story begins I would like to say this is my first crossover so I welcome any criticism or tips. Also I will say right now that some characters that appear in the Mass Effect side of the story should be dead by now. However they are still alive for the sake of the story. Also to help introduce you to the Destiny side of the story I set up the Rebirth Age Timeline. This timeline begins after Rise of Iron. And while I'm excited for Destiny 2 it will not appear in this story, weapons and armor may appear once I get the proper information about them. Also, there will be pieces of Halo, Titanfall and Gundam implemented into the story as well.
