I have no excuse to why this took so long to rewrite other than my focus on school and procrastination.
So to start this off, this is a complete rewrite if Mass Effect: Black Future. The original storyline has been scrapped completely due to some plot points being "irrational" and some that might've caused some confusion in the future. I also felt like I rushed/bullshitted it to a maximum level. So after a couple months of work, talking to some other Authors/Friends and even getting a Beta to help me edit, I feel like I'm ready to upload the first 3 Chapters of the rewrite. I originally planned to release 5 pre-written chapters this week, but due to some unforeseen complications, I had to reduce it to 3. I Hope you all enjoy this rewrite and hopefully, HOPEFULLY, it will be the last one to come for a long time. Hopefully never.
I hope you all enjoy this.

On August 12, 2083, The Great Unification War came to an end. Seven years of war on a global scale had taken its toll that was home to dozens of sentient lives. Millions lay dead in cities that once shined bright under the blue sky. Cities across the planet were in ruins after the numerous years of war. All sides were affected. No parades. Nothing. This was a dreary day for those who survived, but a start of a new age of peace for those willing to rebuild.
As time went on, Multiple countries began to set aside rivalries and petty differences, allying with one another to create a future where the future generations of Earth could live in. In a few months' time, on the day of June 10th, 2087, The Provisional United Earth Government was formed.
2089-2108: Italian company named Biotechnica reaches its long-term goal of producing enough food to feed the starving populations that are scattered among the Eastern European Dead zones that mainly result of a small-scale nuclear exchange. The reconstruction of Eastern Europe and Central Asia was considered one of the most difficult challenges for Biotechnica due to the number of large pockets of radiation that still lingered before they implemented the Perpetual Isotope Scrubbers.
United Earth then colonizes Luna which is then is made into a forward operating base for future expeditions to Mars Upon colonizing the solar system, The United Earth pushes through reforms to create the United Systems Federation.
The space company Orbital Air partners with Mitsubishi-Sugo and the Japanese Mega-Conglomerate Arasaka Industries finishes a joint project to create the infamous Haley-Clinton Deuterium Fusion Engine. A technological innovation Humanity needed to make trips from the Old Earth to the new colonies that now spanned the inner solar system.
2110-2146: An American arms company named Militech creates the AS-12 Humanoid Combat Drone. The A-12 is widely used in Security work in European and Asian Dead zones where United Earth forces struggle to restore order. The effectiveness of the A-12 increases its popularity and it becomes the staple of automatic security.
After the successful test of the Experimental NLS Drive (Near Light Speed), The UFS Serenity reaches Alpha Centauri and successfully creates a small colony as a testament to their success. Three to five years later, the colonists of the Unified planet of Aventia sends a small vessel back to Earth to give the higher-ups proof of the success of human colonization. The evidence of the successful colony sparks the construction of the second wave of colony ships and many eager humans waiting to begin a new life among the stars.
Datryia is the fifth colonized planet under the United Systems Federation. Five months into colonizing Datryia, miners discover a Precursor Compound that appeared to be connected to several cables that spanned the globe. The Central Bureau of Allied Intelligence takes over the mining operation and begins the construction of the Wolfhound Central Command Structure to investigate the Precursor Compound. Datryia is rated to be fully fortified against all attacks. Datryia's sister planet, Tribute, receives the same treatment. By 2146, with the final implementation of the 1st Proxima Defense Fleet, The Proxima Mizar System is considered a solar fortress.
2154-2237: The personnel of the Wolfhound Central Command Structure discover and reactivates a dormant AI located deep within the Compound. The AI recounts the tales of the tragic downfall of its creators before it decides to share what technology remains in the Compound to prevent another galactic extinction.
Vice Admiral James Fitzgerald Winslow is given control of Allied Intelligence's Section III and creates the Winslow Accord. Candidates are being selected for recruitment. After the discovery of the Precursor and its superstructure that spanned the Human-Fortress world of Datryia, Allied Intelligence's Section VII 123rd, and 45th Xeno-Materials Excavation Fleet is sent to the neighboring systems of Harada and Zaria V to acquire Precursor Caches hidden among these systems. This event begins to create more innovative designs within the realm of cybernetics and automatic warfare.
Raven Micro-Cybernetics creates the subsidiary company Zeta-Tech to produce and manufacture new age Supercomputers, cyberdecks, robotics, and cybernetics.
2237-2249: Military Intelligence traces derelict signal that is located on the fringes of Federation Space. Federation High Command Sends in a small flotilla to investigate. Three weeks later, the 43rd Federation Recon Flotilla reports the discovery of an abandoned colony world of unknown origins, a further investigation is required, Allied Intelligence Section I deploys Forward Research Station Aries for further excavation purposes.
Mankind reaches a total population of 25 billion and holds 29 garden worlds and a handful of mining planets.
Federation scientists provide data on the improvement in Earth's Biosphere as the use of Perpetual Isotope Scrubbers cleanse the planet of any remaining pockets of radiation. Mankind celebrates the complete healing of their homeworld as many believed that this was the start of the new beginning of self-preservation of Earth.
The Federation Starbase Titan Mary detects three more derelict signals that are like the signal found back in 2238. Wanting to know the origins of these beacons, the 34th and 10th Xeno-Materials Excavation Fleet is sent to investigate and find whoever and whatever sent these looping signals.
In the year of 2241, the Xeno-Materials Excavation Ship Fire Wyvern comes across a derelict starship that was orbiting the gas giant Fradus LDK6. A Marine-Science team is sent to investigate the ship. Within the ninth hour of boarding the derelict, Marine Team-05 reports that there was a vast amount of stasis pods located in the ships stowage. While the inhabitants slept, the ships automated security activates in the response of several unknown life-forms breeching the ships Stasis deck. Three marines were killed by the automated security after the team's Artificial Intelligence managed to deactivate the defense systems. After the Marines report in Allied Intelligence's Xeno-Materials Division/Section IV takes the derelict starship to a remote location for further study.
In 2244, four new Federation colonies located in the Alpha Leporis system: Foundation, Petrovina, Shapus 6V9, and Mefrion goes under martial law due to anti-Federation terrorist attacks that killed over 300,000 federation citizens system-wide.
The Federation sends the 4th Federation Quick Response Fleet to assist Colonial Defense Branch Leporis in finding the terrorists and maintain order within the system. Tensions among the Federation Military and the local populace as the Insurrectionists chaos throughout the system, showing that the Central Government couldn't guarantee their safety. The local populace of Alpha Leporis forms the Free Worlds of Gilgamesh, a Neo-Socialist movement that wants to secede from the Federation. Negotiations between the Federation and the Free Worlds go south.
Insurrectionist ships attack a patrolling Federation Battle Group. Insurrectionist forces take Tiberius Station, killing security forces and taking hostages. On the order from Federation President Sebastian Mitchell, Federation High Command mobilizes the Navy. The Secession War goes into full effect.

In Orbit, the Federation Navy lose ships due to Insurrectionist ships performing barbaric tactics, ground forces were subjected to more ambushes and bombings. Insurrectionist forces even use Federation loyalists as human shields to make the Federation hesitate in commencing a carpet bombing of a major city. Slowly but surely, the Petrovinian Rebels surrenders to the might of the Federation. Many among Federation High Command want them punished for their actions but the president made no attempts to punish the rebels since using the hatred born from the Secession War to punish those who are misguided, will only divide Humanity to a greater state.
2256-2299: After the discovery of the Precursor Compound on Datryia, the Federation unveils the UFS War Breaker, an experimental Spearhead-Class Supercarrier that is built over 6 kilometers and is one of the first flagships to be introduced into the Federation Navy.
