Idea: Mass effect X Frontlines by Marko Kloos
Synopsis: After beating the Lankies out of Human space and sorta rebuilding what was lost, a colony of the NAC was discovered to be under four-eyed management. How will the council react to a race that has survived a state that makes the Krogan's look like paradise?
Rational: For the uninitiated Frontlines is a novel series by German Marko Kloos which is set in a universe kinda like 40k but smaller in scale, using somewhat realistic tech and no supernatural powers (I think haven't read to the current book yet) the idea came whilst I was reading a crossover with Frontlines and MLP called "Rules of Engagement" the initial arc would be the same, NAC comes to free a colony under non-Lanky control and beat the shit out of them. What I like about ROE is that they added to the universe Kloos made in a way that fits the setting, as well as make references to other franchises at the same time. I honestly think Frontlines isn't getting enough love out there in the fanfiction community and I do hope this inspires you.
