For some reason, the link was not sticking to the chapter. If anyone knows why, please write in a comment, reviews, or whatever it is called. It was clear from the comments that the vast majority did not want humanity to join the Citadel. As for the topic of adding other universes, it was more divided, but when I started to read it thoroughly, it turned out 2 voted for No, and 3 on that I can, but they don't care much as long as the story is good. So there will be no other Sic-Fic universes, but I add some OC races. And now to answer the many questions. This is the largest amount so far.

Done.

Probably not. I don't want to antagonize all the races in the Citadel.

They were given access to some data as part of their willingness to cooperate and that they would have something to be satisfied with. Browsing several thousand pages on the Wiki without a single one of great value as the location of the worlds and their number. The exact operation of technology. Population count. In short, they got what people got from the turians, but in a truncated version.

OK.

As for the range of energy weapons, in Star Blazers S02E06 original series, they clearly said that the Argo / Yamato range is 10 Megameters, which is 10,000 kilometers, and that previously the range was 7.5 Megameters, which is equal to 7500 kilometers.

As for the fact that kinetic barriers can stop energy weapons, I haven't mentioned it anywhere. All military ships have some degree of armor in them, and the main guns of the SDF ships, other than the Shock Cannons, aren't unimaginably powerful. The first episode of the Yamato 2199 / StarBlazers remaster showed it.

The de-facto opened this relay. Warp propulsion(from Yamato 2199/StarBlazers not Star Trek) was to be limited to warships only in case of encountering a foreign race based on MassEffect technology. It was supposed to be such a backup action. Plus, they haven't received plans from a highly advanced civilization so it's not as good as the original. And even in the original version, it was made clear that hours must pass before being charged, and that it has a limited range. Until then, humans have translated so much from the Prothean vault that they know how this 'cosmic highway' covers the entire galaxy. A MassEffect-based race is simply more likely to meet.

A good idea. I wish I had run into him sooner, but oh well.

If such mistakes were actually made, it would be better. PS. Raknii is pronunciation in my home language.

From: RandomReader

I corrected it.

If they do not join, but have signed the treaty, it will mean that there is less danger on the border with the Citadel. Having a lower threat at the border is better than having a higher threat at the border which should reassure frightened galactic citizens. After all, they have just suffered the greatest military defeat in over 1,000 years.

Slavery is illegal throughout the Citadel, and the galaxy is skipping the batarians because it thinks they will assimilate over time. And the exchange of technologies may consist in passing on diagrams and manuals on how it works. Several years and the Citadel has anti-ship energy weapons at Alliance level. GARDIAN is mainly used as anti-fighter and anti-torpedo / missile equipment. They can be used to attack other ships, but only during knife fighting, which is less than 10 km.

The Terminus Pirates attack the slave colonies they sell in the Batarian Hegemony. Slaves are a product for them, and Hegemony is a market. Get rid of the Hegemony, or teach it to at least unprofitable and your attacks will decrease immediately. Besides, the Council is deliberately not interfering in this for the sake of maintaining the peace. Should information that the Hegemony finances attacks on the Council's race colonies had come to light, the Citadel citizens would demand that action be taken against it.

The Wave Motion Gun is OP, and mankind was able to make it thanks to the Wave Motion Engine from the Iskandarians (probably write their name wrong, but I ignore it). Hence, it won't be the end of this story. Though I'm going to break it down into several parts, so you will wait a while.

From: Desk Vampire

A simple NO would suffice, but thanks for the tirade about why the Citadel is rock bottom.

From:QuantumAxolotl

Very interesting idea, but I don't think it will work. Mainly because I already have a plan for this.

The other comments are simply answers to my questions in the previous chapter.

Chapter 11

= place: Citadel =

The arrival of the people was a great event. At the request of diplomats, humans agreed to release their Codex counterpart, so the citizens of the galaxy had a rough idea of what to expect. But shooting and seeing it live was a completely different matter. Additionally, the first transport of prisoners of war, moustly privates, was to arrive. A total of 10,000 captured soldiers. As the diplomats left the transport, the human crowd watched with different reactions. Most of the Asari were extremely surprised by the similarity of people to each other. The Salarians made up thousands of theories about their weapons and technology. The Hanars wondered if they were the tower of the Enkindlers. A drell had a brief glimpse of a possible cure for his people. The Quarians were completely fascinated by human ships. Most Batarians wondered what slaves would be. Most Turians were divided between the humiliation inflicted on them at the hands of the humans and the admiration of their military abilities, sometimes both at once. The Voluses were already figuring out how to do business with them. The Elcoers wanted to observe people first before concluding. The Krogans thought positively about humans due to kicking the turians. However, a few people stood out from the crowd, not with their looks but their thoughts. A turian departed the day before the arrival of the 2nd SA fleet. A certain batarian thinking about a change. And an asari matriarch hoping this galaxy would eventually move forward out of complacency.

= place: Presidium =

The official signing of the peace between the System Alliance and the Turian Hierarchy took place through Ambassador Goyle and Ambassador Quentius, respectively. The paperwork was short, and everything quickly turned to one of the most disliked and most needed parts of the universe. Policy. For the most obvious subject.

"And now I would like to officially invite System Alliance to the Citadel." - Said Councilor Tevos.

"Thank you for the invitation." - Goyle said, and Tevos smiled. Everyone knew what the man was about to say. Or so they thought.

"But I am forced to refuse." - Goyle said.

And everyone, except the people and Benezia, froze as if lightning had struck them.

Tevos shook herself quickest and asked quickly. - "May I know why?"

"There are several reasons for this." - said Goyle - "First, a purely business topic, it doesn't pay off for us. We have no economic ties with you, and most of the technologies we do not have can be obtained from alternative sources. And just because we don't join the Citadel doesn't mean that we cannot trade with you."

"When it comes to security, we also have no reason for that."- Drescher said. - "All the races of the Council, even the turians, are largely demilitarized. And while it has brought you hundreds of years of peace, it also leaves you open to attacks by pirates, slavers, and mad military commanders who decide to attack random races or factions. General Arterius is the fastest example here."

"Then there's the problem with your rights." - Udina said - "Many of our people have genetic enhancements and various implants. Additionally, we conduct research on artificial intelligence. Before you start a speech about how dangerous it is, let me say that we run it in a special environment and we have all possible plans in the event of an AI rebellion, and most importantly, we have a plan on how not to lead to such a rebellion. So nothing bad will happen."

"But the worst reason is one of the transmissions intercepted in the fighting." - Craig said - "It's clear that at least a part of your government was supportive of this invasion. If the rest didn't know about it, then you were either extremely corrupt or considered us easy to conquer, until we wiped out your fleet and made it clear to the whole galaxy what we thought about it. Since your people have a tremendous anti-war sentiment, you had to stop it to avoid a riot. Should I continue?"

"No." - Valern said, shock on his face - "But I'd like to see proof."

"It will be handed over to you shortly and made public." - Goyle said.

"Then I'll go." - Craig said, just like that, and move to the exit.

"Wait, WHAT?" - Asked Sparatus, shocked - "You can't just quit."

"With all due respect, councilor." - Craig said calmly. - "But once we've covered the basics, there are other issues where I have no experience and could say something stupid. I'd better leave it to experienced diplomats."

And so he left with the escort, leaving everyone with the expression 'WTF ' on the face. Except for humans who just sighed. After a moment, Drescher said - "Councilors, just ignore him. He is not listening to anyone. Even the President. Had it not been for his tactical and strategic skills, he would have been thrown out of the army."

"How-" Quentius began, then quickly added - "Anyway, whatever. Let's move on to the next case."

= place: Illium =

Matriarch Aethyta was sitting in her Eternity bar. She watched her employees, clients and watched TV simultaneously. After all, the first contact situation does not take place every day. But here it was extremely interesting. A new race with potentially better technology refuses to join the Citadel. As a Matriarch, the Aethite knew with her mind the anger of the highest members of government. She smiled under her breath because of that. After all, these bitches got what they deserve. She had warned them that they couldn't rely entirely on what the Proteans had left behind.

"If these people did the impossible, maybe we can make peace with the geth." - The quarian she hired said under his breath.

"Quarian wanting to make peace with the geth." - Aethyta said to him - "This galaxy is about to turn upside down. Soon, we will hear about krogan scientist, the return of rachnii."

The visibly shaken quarian quickly turned to the asaria. And she continued. - "A bit of a radical idea, don't you think?"

"Actually, that's not my idea. It's-" - the quarian began, but Aethith cut him off. - "It's Admiral Koris's idea. I know he spoiled it more than once. His thoughts are famous even beyond the Migrant Fleet. Considering we have more than one case of what is considered impossible done in the last month. Why not try it."

"Well said." - Said a voice from behind the Matriarch. When the quarian and asari turned around, they saw a krogan in red armor. - "I think he will try something impossible himself. Tell me when the nearest shuttle to Tuczanka departs from Illium. "

"Tomorrow morning." - Aethyta said.

"Thanks." - said the krogan - "Maybe this time we'll be able to talk this hard-headed asshole to the shit of reason."

"Who are you?" - The quarian asked.

"Now an ordinary mercenary. And soon the leader of the Urdnot clan." - The mercenary said and left the bar.

"This galaxy just got a lot more interesting." - Aethya thought with a smile on her face.

= place: Citadel =

In his room, Saren was furious. The hierarchy has been humiliated, his brother has been killed, and the council has been completely discredited. And all this in a month, because some new race broke the law of the Citadel, and our patrol trying to stop him was destroyed. Now his brother is publicly insulted to lessen the guilt of the council. Saren swore they would pay for it. With their blood!

= place: ?, a few days later =

Several figures sat in the darkened room. They were mostly batarians, but also a certain asari and turian.

"It looks like our plans need to change." - The first batarian said.

"I don't think it is necessary." - The turian said - "Their arrival won't change anything. If the council has done nothing in the last 2,000 years, why would they do anything."

"We do not know." - The other batarian said - "If we can convince them to help us, our chances will increase drastically."

"In return for what." - Said the asari - "I may be young by asari standards, but I know very well that nothing is for free in this galaxy. The 'peace' that reigns in the galaxy, with the exception of the terminus systems, is at the expense of their own citizens. They will be very idle or even hostile to us."

"We don't have to worry about that." - The newly arrived batarian said. In the light of the lamp, everyone saw the absence of the upper left eye and a scar on the face that stretched from where the eye should have been to the top of the head.

"Leader." - The third batarian said with a smile on his face.

"What did you learn about them?" - Another batarian asked quickly.

"Don't you watch TV?" - The leader asked sarcastically.

"Don't even joke about that." - The first batarian said - "You know as well as any of us that everything is censored here."

"I know and I will tell you everything in a nutshell." - The leader said, sitting down at the table - "They haven't shared any key information, but their Codex counterpart 'Wikipedia' has made it clear to me that we need to delay our plans and introduce some variables."

"Why?" - The turian asked.

"The friction between the Hegemons and humans will increase dramatically." - said the leader - "They have completely different cultural and philosophical aspects. Whey will clash with interests on Skyllian Verge. Sooner or later, the Hegemony will send their own ships, to 'scare' humans. With their history and political situation, the most likely result of this is that it will only anger them, and they build ships of much better quality than the batarians. Add an energy weapon to that and we can see who has the advantage. Until then, all we need to do is find evidence that the Batarians are attacking human colonies and *BAM*. We have an Alliance and Hegemony war. With our support, the Hegemony will fall in less than a year."

"Aren't you too optimistic, about them?" - The turian asked.

"Maybe, but do you really think anyone will want to help the Hegemony?" - The leader asked rhetorically, which closed the turian's jaws.

"Exactly." - Said the leader, then continued the typical meeting. Its organization, operating on nearly every Hegemony planet, was very diverse, but each member shared two things. The hegemony had taken something valuable from them and they were hungry for vengeance for it. And so the Resistance movement began to prepare for full-scale uprising.
