Hey guys! This is my first fan fiction so I would love to have some feedback and other stuff so feel free to give me some feedback and pointers! Oh and a special thanks to obiruskenobi and rs2 studios at deviantart for letting me use his jaegers in this fanfic!
21:00 March 21 2089…. The signal and all contact with the alliance 5th fleet are lost, a small search flotilla is sent out to search the wreckage. The 63rd scout flotilla commanded by admiral Mikhailovich. The flotilla spots a squid shaped object coming towards them the fleet realizes it's a reaper but the reaper lands on one of the ships and changes into a monster like form, looking almost organic. Admiral Mikhailovich yelled out orders to the flotilla "all hands on deck! Prepare for reaper assault!" by 23:00 half the flotilla was lost and admiral Mikhailovich gave the order to retreat but more reapers were closing in on the flotilla, all the ships except for the admiral's sacrificed themselves so the admiral could escape and buy him time. Admiral Mikhailovich bid farewell to his men and jumped to FTL using the nearby mass relay. What the admiral didn't know was one of the ships destroyed the mass relay to buy the galaxy time. Once Mikhailovich broke the news that his flotilla was destroyed, the SSV Shanghai and SSV Normandy SR2 which were recently transferred to the flotilla had survived but had sustained severe damage they were later reassigned to the fifth fleet to combat the reapers in the next inevitable war.
A few hours later one of the ships manages to escape and dock at the citadel. The ship's commander and crew reported their findings to the council. The council realized that the crucible was not a viable option so a few people who were cryogenically frozen when the technology was introduced in 2025 told the council of the jaeger program the council ran numerous simulations and had the thresher maw vs reaper fight as an example. By 2090 the jaeger program was given the green light.
The first few jaegers were made by the council races were the first to make their jaegers the alliance had Normandy Omega, piloted by: Lt. Commander Ashley Williams and Lt. James Vega. Normandy Omega had a giant Omni-blade and a shoulder mounted M-560 Hydra multi-fire rocket launcher and an ARM (Anti-Reaper-Missile) launcher on its other shoulder, Normandy Omega's signature weapon was its chest mounted thanix beam, it looked like a giant N7 Marine. The Turians made their jaeger Digeris Theta which was piloted by: Garrus Vakarian and Nyreen Kandros who had miraculously survived her death on omega, she became the co-pilot to Garrus after they found out they were drift compatible. Theta's conn-pod looked like a turian combat or military helmet and even had the back of head mandibles. The last jaeger to be constructed in 2090 was the asari jaeger Destiny's Embrace. It had a sleek and thin torso and heavy chest plating which sported the colours of blue and grey. It also had a giant Omni-blade and 2 shoulder mounted long range disciple shotguns. Destiny's Embrace was a special jaeger as asari and salarian scientists spent months on developing ways for the jaeger to use biotic abilities if their pilots had them. The conn-pod was basically a giant asari combat helmet and also had plating. The council announced the first jaegers were ready and this time the galaxy was ready.
