Prolog

For centuries on earth home world of all mammal races the grand city of Zootopia stood as a proud symbol of of peace and unity, a place where anyone can be anything they choose to be from the tiniest mouse to the largest elephant.

It is a place where no matter who you were or what you were you would be accepted as you are. Although this was the ideal vision of the city it was far from perfect as such places often are, but despite this all the animals of the city still found ways to coexist and thanks to mayor Lionheart's mammal's inclusion initiative smaller mammals such as rabbits, sheep and several others could finally have a chance to achieve their dreams as well as prove to others species that they were just as capable of performing certain tasks as the larger mammals.

Even with uncertain odds stacked against them to the surprise of the skeptics and doubters the smaller species manage to Prove their worth To the masses whether it was the infamous police officer duo Judy hopps and Nicholas Wilde

ZPD's 1st rabbit and Fox police officers making more arrests than any other officer in the city, Or Sharla Wooling The 1st sheep ever to be trained as an astronaut of Z. A. S. A. Space program ready to travel to places never explored before the world could not deny that their single minded view of these mammals was flawed and it was Fortunate they realized this sooner rather than later, 4 in the year 2148 and in some odd years to follow they'd have to set aside for what was coming.

During the year of 2148 a descendant of Sharla Wooling Lead in expedition mission to Mars which led to the greatest discovery that mammals would ever know.Proof that they were not alone in this Galaxy. What they found was a vast well of artifacts and knowledge as well as a new element to add to the periodic table with which was dubbed element zero all of which in the years to follow enabled mammal kind access To more advanced technology including more advanced crafts for space flight and FTL ( Faster than light). This would be made possible via element zero with its radioactive properties it served as an excellent source of power FTL flight, but these were not the only things discovered in the Mars alien information cashecashe for the information stored also revealed that just on the edge of the sol system at least a hundred light years from Pluto was a giant hulking mass.

Explorers didn't know what it was until they access the data about it period from what they managed to translate from the archive it was meant to aid in space travel when simple FTL jumps weren't enough. While these alone were useful for system to system travel, the mass relays, The whole king device explorers found where better suited for traveling to hold new star clusters with systems and planets of their own. Naturally mammals took advantage of this and without hesitation ventured beyond their home system and star cluster and found themselves a new world to colonize thus the 1st ever colony of Earth, Shanshi was born. For months the colonists flourished loving everything about their new home however this did not last. For undenounced to them a massive strike force came for their new world. These new life forms were known as the Turians. Life forms which resembled both bird and insect and they were coming to conquer that colonies simply for accessing the mass relay of this star cluster and laying claim to a planet which was not there is to take. After laying waste to the mammals flee charged with protecting the colony and seizing control of the system the Turians Believed they had won, but they were sadly mistaken.

When word of the attack reached Earth the bulk of the mammal fleet launched their counter attack decimating the entire enemy fleet as well as their ground forces thus liberating the colony and triggering what mammals would for ever refer to this conflict, 1st contact war, for it was the 1st time mammals had ever made contact with another intelligent form of life not local to their system and because they knew that these life forms would return in greater numbers so the mammals acted first. After gaining access to the remains of an alien crafts computer systems they discovered the to oarians homeworld which they called Palavin and plan to hit them more they lived as well as send a message to these creatures. Just stay away, or they would all die, but before they could mobilize their attack, they were contacted by a group of individuals calling themselves the citadel council, who had learned about the conflict between both mammals and turians and sot to find a peaceful resolution to end this conflict.

His council was made up of 3 individuals a turian, the race that memos were already too familiar with, a solarian, An amphibian like race which had horn like protrusions ticking out of their heads, and last but not least was an asari, A completely mono gendered life form which appeared to only look female with stiff tentacle like hair flowing and forming to the back of their heads almost as if being blown by his strong wind. They sought to smooth things over between the 2 factions before more bloodshed could unfold especially the turianand councilor Because he had no knowledge of the attack and gave no such permission to his home world till launch such an assault.

So, to apologize properly the council forced the to Rian fleet to pay for all damage to the colony and offer proper ground based defenses for the colony to use should anything like this happen again. Also the council offered other uninhabited worlds to the mammals in a sector of space they called the attican traverse. Naturally the mammals accepted the offer, and as quickly as it had begun, the 1st contact war had ended. Shortly after the council put an end to the conflict they invited mammals to the sitted all the very seat of the council and also the capital city of counsels space and also the largest space station in existence and in a way much like the city of Zootopia with multiple species coexisting together in harmony. They were also given an embassy as a show of good faith that there was no ill will left to be found after what had recently transpired. While other races of the citadal objected to this because there peoples had to wait decades to be given an embassy the council had to explain it was in everyone's best interests that this would have to be done for the sake of collective peace and after witnessing 1st hand the resolve of the mammals military might as well as the size of their determination it would be unwise to provoke them any further. Especially after they had dealt such a crushing defeat to the tewari and fleet and even more so that they were prepared at the time to attack their homeworld. Eventually the other ambassadors came to agree with the council. More than 30 years later mammals had already acquired in established a sizeable reputation throughout the galaxy, some of it good, some of it bad.

But it would all change for better or worse on one of their colony worlds in the traverse. A small farm world called Eden prime just on the edge of the terminus systems and what the colonists found was an ancient alien artifact with the same origin as the information found in the Mars archives, a now extinct race of aliens called the Prothians, Who had believed to have died out over 50000 years ago when mammals were still just primitive creatures walking on all fours on Earth, No one knew what the true faith of the Prothians was only that all of the technology used by the residence of the Galaxy was based off of their designs. At 1st it was believed that only the newly formed Earth systems alliance and the council had knowledge of this pro Thai an artifact, But that opinion changed when a massive dreadnought like space craft that bore a striking resemblance to us quit appeared out of nowhere and with an army of sentient machines called the Geth. Their reason for being there was clear, to find the prothian's artifact and gather any and all information from it. To life forms were able to use it before the battle was over the 1st was a rogue to turian speacture sure called Saron Octurius who hated all mammals and went do anything had seems to put them in what he believed was their place, and was also working with the Geth and this attack was just the 1st of many that he and the Geth would commit, and the 2nd was a speacture candidate Who would soon be made 1st mammals speacture and eventually savior of the citadal, commander Shepard, and with the aid of a carefully selected team of highly skilled individuals and a state of the art warship called the The SSV Normandy they were able to follow close behind Saron and the Geth but the commander would soon discover that they were only pawns to sovereign, the dreadnought which was not actually as ship but as sentient machine known as a reaper, with more firepower than any ship in the galaxy but was only one of many and it had a mission. A mission to summon his brethren from dark space to harvest all sentient life and it needed the citadal to do it for the citadel was actually a creation of the reapers, specifically, it was a giant mass relay connecting to the reapers from the milky way Galaxy to dark space itself, but thanks to commander Shepard sovereign failed and the galaxy was safe, but only for a few years. Despite Shepherd's warnings the council chose to ignore the threat convincing themselves that the reapers were a myth, but they were wrong and didn't realize it until the invasion came. The Galaxy was covered in chaos and every inhabited world was attacked in a matter of days. Palavin, Sher'kesh, Thessia, Novaria, Feros, not even the citadel was safe. But there was hope. For hidden away in the Mars archive was a blue print for a super weapon capable of wiping out the reapers as well as any and all who served them. While the alliance built this weapon in secret shepherd searched for allies to either fight the reapers or help build the weapon uniting the entire Galaxy under one banner to fight the 1 enemy no 1 could defeat the alone. Fleets and armies of all races joined together in the defense of their civilizations and in the end they succeeded. Despite the reapers best efforts to keep the key component to the weapon which was eventually discovered to be the citadal away from the now United collect it fleet and protected from them in the Sol system it didn't matter. The weapon did exactly what it was needed to do, the reaper were no longer a threat, and the galaxy was saved from the greatest threat ever known. However, it was not all a celebration. In order for the weapon to work commander Shepard had to make the ultimate sacrifice and thus perished and in the aftermath of the mass relays through out the Galaxy were destroyed along with most of the citadel.

But that would not mean that the brave men and women who fought in the final battle would be trapped in the Sol system for the rest of their lives. After giving commander Shepard a proper funeral, the United fleet wasted no time in rebuilding the sol system relay most ships that were destroyed were salvaged for parts and some that weren't but beyond repair had to be cannibalized for the materials needed to rebuild the relay even the arms of the citadel were used resources for the construction. After 2 years of hard work and gathering the proper materials the relay was reborn. After this was completed what was left of the visiting ships returned to their home systems and began the process of rebuilding their own relays. In little as 15 years all the relays were rebuilt and the Galaxy remained United by the example that Shepard had Left Behind just like the foundations that Zootopia were built on.

But even though the Galaxy was United under one banner there were still tensions between races like the batarians who more often than not had attacked and raided mammal colonies in the traverse to make their captives into their slaves but after the war had ended the batarians, or the Krogan who were sterilized by the solarians with a bio weapon used on them during a war known as the Krogan rebellions Which Which was done done thanks to Shepherd and a very brilliant solarian scientist who gave his life to see it done, or the Quarrian whose home world Ranakk was stolen from them by their creations the Geth who rebelled against their masters when they tried to destroy them but was ended peacefully thanks to no small part the commander but even though the Geth had aided in the war against the reapers the Koreans were still slow to trust them. But all of these issues wouldn't matter when the Galaxy would once again have to unite to keep their existence because of one unlikely hero. My name is Cody Blaze in this is my story.
