Hi! This is a new story i will be writing, a StarCraft/Mass Effect cross-over, and well, it has lots of background changes in it, some to fit this story "Canon" (for example, humans aren't in the Citadel Council for obvious reasons) and some to make the story more interesting (like, Overmind is still alive and Raynor rebellion was crushed) and other things will be removed completely from this story ( Reapers and Hybrids ) this story will mainly revolve around a Galaxy-Wide war between various Galactic governments, and, sorry if I offend any Mass Effect fan, but I think that the Starcraft Naval technology is superior to the ME one, of course, not far superior, but significantly superior, don't worry, this story won't have lots of curbstomping elements, well, maybe one chapter or two will have ones, but curbstomping will be mostly be out of this story, now, in this "Intro" I will give a Timeline to explain the background behind the new governments, story changes, etc. keep in mind that this is not the real storyline, its altered to fit this story, Highlighted numbers represent important time periods, btw, this is heavily AU I hope you enjoy this story!
