Spectre T'soni and Dr. Shepard are now scouring the galaxy for any traces of advanced exo-alien tech in order to preserve the safety of their home from similar such threats. But there is more than one universe out there; more than one T'soni, and more than one Shepard, as well. All just as determined, but not all heroes.

Desperate for answers, Tali is tasked - who is still on Earth helping Shepard recover - with finding those answers. What she finds could change everything - for her, for her people, and for those that have been lost.

Shepard may get her name in the annals of history, but she couldn't have done what she did without some help. This is the tale of those who support the legends. Gritty realistic attempt to provide depth to the canon story.

Shepard was alive, dammit, and Wrex would do whatever it took to bring her home. A look backwards at Shepard's recovery, life, and happiness after the Reapers were defeated - as seen by an old krogan.

A comic sequel to both Magpie's 'Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani, Westerlund News' and Fred's 'One Tough Cloaca.'

Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

Mass Effect 3 Ending, just written as how I wished it could of ended.

SAM wanted to experience feelings through her? Well, buckle up, because Sara Ryder had a crapton. Game novelization, liberties taken.

The Collectors have been destroyed. Commander Gardner knows that, soon, he will have to turn himself in to the Systems Alliance to face judgement for his work with Cerberus. However, Just because the Collectors are gone and the Reapers have not yet arrived does not mean the galaxy is any safer.

Friends, old and new, must fight together as one if they are to succeed. Their journey into hell will either forge them into the greatest fighting force ever seen, or spell doom for them all.

Will he and his friends be enough to stave off annihilation before it is too late? The fight is on!

A THIRD set of updates to the original! That's right, I'm so incompetent I had to redo it YET AGAIN. Expanded notes on every aspect of the Systems Alliance, from ships, weapons, and armor to government, complete orders of battle, and more terms. Now updated (May 2021) with tactical considerations, plus the March 2020 updates.

Shepard is not dealing with the arrival of the Reapers, and the following events well at all. Joker tries to be there for her.
