There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

The Ranger Corps was established at the battle of New Ulaan'batar in Shanxi, Atmospheric Drop Shock Troopers (ADST) was established at the Battle for Arcturus, the Volga Militia Brigade was found on the Battle for Volga, the whole war would last for two years, with casualties amounting to millions on both sides until the Arcturus Confederation made a daring move of attempting to assault the Citadel, a space station that is the center of Citadel Council the governing body that the Turian Hierarchy answers to, held by the Asari, the Salarians and the Turians respectively, the Arcturus Confederation were only able to conduct aerial raids on Citadel grounds but not launch a full scale ground invasion as their casualties could have been high.

Factions:
The Arcturus Confederation
Formed by the Systems Alliance and the Migrant Fleet, the Confederation was established as a formal union between the two groups, thereby ending political division that is the Quarian and Human entity, it was as most of the extranet media would say: 'a marriage that is not just for convenience, but also of love' the Quarians as it is had the tech but not the resources, whereas Humanity had the resources but not the tech, and so the joining itself was a approving move on both sides. Since its formation the Arcturus Confederation boasts of strong cyberwarfare as well as a healthy ground force that is eager to fight against the enemies of the Confederation, the Morning calm war made them quickly adapt and create new tactics, technologies, and innovations so as to one-up their Citadel Council counterparts.

On Faction Politics:
Due to the Friendly circumstances of the contact between the Quarians and the Humans, the society of the Systems Alliance was changed, the technologies provided by the Quarians was necessary for Humanity to further expand in the stars, the resources and planets that Humanity provided to the Quarians became a stepping stone for Quarians to have a new beginning for their races, relationships between Quarians and Humans can be considered too friendly to the point that Humanity and Quarians don't look at each other as aliens socially but rather biologically. Politics was also changed because of the first contact, Terra Firma perceived Quarians as friends but not in the same manner as their opponent, Terra Firma itself states that it represents only Humanity but that doesn't mean it doesn't welcome Humanity's friend no matter what species they are, Sinn Fein perceives the Quarians in a more accepted manner who welcomed figures from the Conclave to their party, as their name suggest 'we ourselves' meant to them Humanity and its allies as a whole, the center party, the Labor party also allows Quarians to their number, their reason being that if one wants to stand with us meant that they alone are true friends of Humanity and also they would welcome anyone who would initiate themselves as friends of Humanity as a whole.
The politics within the Citadel Council however is base on who holds more galactic prestige, a semi-class struggle for power and influence, with the three main races of the Council being more influential than those below them, the Asari Republics tried to empower their military because of the Morning calm war but the Turians stubbornly called for them to continue relying on their military power while the Salarian Union decides to covertly empower their military so as to meet their arms race with the Arcturus Confederation, with the tension rising in the Krogan DMZ time can tell if the Citadel Council will try to salvage some remaining influence on their side.

Author's note: New story *GASP* Seriously I was inspired by the story 'And the Meek shall Inherit the galaxy' as well as the Iron Heart of Man, and also I might be jumping on the whole AU First Contact Bandwagon, like all else please this is a what if the Quarians were the first to make contact with Humanity, what will happen and also some of the would be part of the story is inspired by other fandoms (ranging from the armors of the Fallout universe, to the Halo Universe, as well as some original designs that I've come up with) also ADST is a nod to Halo's ODST, so enjoy reading this list of facts and have fun reading the story if you like it!
Criticisms and Praises are appreciated!
