A little side project to provide an overview over the lore surrounding the Imperial Federation in my books 'Saga of the Bridgers'. There will be different chapters covering History, Politics, Armed Forces, etc...basically it's a Wiki page.

When I bought the Legendary Edition of Mass Effect I'd expected to re-live the wonder of the game, I never expected to actually 'live' it though

A "meager excuse for a human" is given the chance by a higher power to start again in a realm only thought fiction, and potentially change the outcome of an eons old war spanning the galaxy. (PC - fishbone76)

Commander Shepard wakes up after being killed in a surprise attack by a mysterious alien ship two years earlier to discover she's not the real Shepard, but a clone created to house spare parts in the event something happened to her true self. Jane has to wrestle with the circumstances of her creation and forge a new identity beyond the shadow of the galaxy's biggest hero.

A dysfunctional douche gets promoted to Pathfinder with the aid of a shady organization, and wreaks havoc on the Heleus cluster. Set in the Mass Effect: Andromeda galaxy.

Coming to terms with being reborn? Doable. Finding out you're in the Mass Effect universe? Slightly more difficult. I know I'm no soldier material but I want to do what I can to help save the galaxy. To that goal I will become one of the worst beings in human society. A businessman and politician. A SI/OC-story of a different kind.

Characters: John Shepard, Emily Wong.

On Illium, anything goes. A pair of sensual, enthralling asari dancers will put those words into action. And an off-duty human security officer will discover a more deviant side to asari eroticism. A twisted tale, not for the faint of heart.

Characters: John Shepard, Karin Chakwas.

After saving the galaxy from the threat of the Reapers, Commander Jane Shepard finds her life taken from her by those she once trusted. With her only goal being to reform the galaxy she fought so hard to save, Shepard is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means destroying the very galaxy she once protected. Determined to save the galaxy from itself once more.

As humanity and other Council races develop along the path set by the Reapers, a different civilization is born. Developing alongside but separately from other species, isolated from the wider galaxy. An Empire with its own FTL technology, independent of Mass Relays. What will happen if a civilization so different from others in almost every way, joins the Galactic community?

Saren Arterius is dead. Shepard is dead. Liara T'Soni isn't. The dark figures of the galaxy's underworld cast a long shadow, one that will force Liara to venture deep into the Terminus Systems to recover that which she loves, to save two souls, and to confront a horrifying reality: Saren was only the beginning. A seven-act bridge between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.

I was chosen because I had thought it through and because I knew what pain and suffering was. Now I have the chance to see if my ideas can help Shepard save the galaxy. SI.

[SYOC - OPEN] With Shepard gone, the Council has quickly forgotten about the Reapers, and the Alliance has lost much support from the Citadel. Deciding to work around the problem, Anderson activates a new project to protect humanity: a special team, whose missions will take them far beyond enemy lines, into the depths of hell. They are not good nor bad, they are the Helldivers!

John Shepard has lost everything. His friends, family, home and more. Given a second chance and a mission by a Watcher, he is sent to another world to help another Shepard in her quest and to counter dark forces at work. But nothing is ever simple as more divergence events happen and more Sheaprds appear.

Surprised by physical differences between their races, Shepard and Tali settle doubts over a friendly spar

After being angered by Shepard getting with Tali after their brief time together in ME 1, Liara comes with a proposition for Shepard that he must accept... Some elements of cheating involved, first time writing anything so feel free to let me know how I can improve.

Cerberus has spent billions of credits trying to bring Commander Jane Shepard back from the dead, and despite the odds it seems to be working. Then a saboteur inside of Cerberus makes his move and Shepard's resurrection takes a horrific turn, leaving both the Alliance and Cerberus scrambling to control the situation...all while the Collectors begin their harvest of humanity.

After stopping the coup attempt on the Citadel, Kaidan re-joins the crew on Normandy, with a lot of questions for Commander Kacey Shepard about her time with Cerberus. It's about time he got an explanation! A causal retelling of Mass Effect 2 and a slight AU for Mass Effect 3. KaidanXFemShepard

In a quiet hospital in Europe, months after the end of the Reaper War, there is a patient. He cannot wake, cannot dream. Every day, a quarian watches over him. Protecting him. Loving him. And hating every moment without him.

Shepard has finally gotten free of Cerberus, but the Illusive Man never planned to let go of her so easily. Now he holds a bargaining chip too big for Shepard to ignore, and its origins have the potential to overturn her life...again. Slight AU. Set after ME2 but before Shepard returns to Earth for court martial. Quasi-sequel to Searching for Shepard, but is a stand-alone story.

A recon Marine transfers into Shadow Company, the Marine Detachment on the Normandy SR-2. They think they're headed for war with the batarians, given Commander Shepard's actions which blew up the Bahak relay. However, war has come for them. This is their story. (Retelling of ME3, influenced by Generation Kill)

Four hundred years into the Long Exile, the Migrant Fleet is on the brink of collapse. Every day, the quarian people inch ever closer to extinction, with any dreams of a new home seeming ever more hopeless... Until Captain Rael'Zorah makes a discovery that will shake the foundations of galactic civilization for eons to come. (Takes place in a reimagined Mass Effect universe)

A single spark can ignite a flame that will consume the lives of many. From a battle over a lonely relay, to a treaty signed on a space station that has acted as the crypt for a thousand civilizations, this is the first contact war
