Donnel Udina

*“Do the words "political shitstorm" mean anything to you, councilor?”*— Donnel Udina
Councilor**Donnel Udina** was the human councilor from 2185 CE to2186 CE. Born on Arcturus Station, Udina was exposed to the political climate from birth. His parents were both former politicians in the European parliament, and he was brought up wanting to be a politician. Having completed three law degrees out of university, he eventually joined the Alliance Parliament as a member of the Labour Party. His ambition drove him to aim for the heart of galactic government itself, and after a few more years, he was voted by parliament to succeed Anita Goyle as human ambassador for the Citadel. He was angry when Marcus chose Anderson to be the first human councilor, but after some political pressure, he got Anderson to resign from the position two years later, where Udina succeeded him. He became the sole leader of the Systems Alliance after the fall of the Sol system, but defected to Cerberus and attempted to help them in assassinating the Council. He was stopped however when Marcus realized who had betrayed them, and Udina was executed on the spot.
Cyclonic/Multicore Barrier Technology

The **Cyclonic/Multicore Barrier Technology** (**CMBT**) is a form of state-of-the-art, oscillating kinetic barrier technology designed to "slap aside" incoming projectiles, rather than absorb them. After the Battle of the Citadel, the Alliance, Hierarchy, Republics and Union began to retrieve elements of geth wreckage for experiments, but most of all, conducted by the classified echelons of government, retrieved pieces of Sovereign and divided it amongst themselves with the purpose of designing new weapons and defense systems around it. The salarians took specific interest in Sovereign's advanced barrier tech, which seemed virtually impervious to conventional weaponry. The Union never found out exactly what made this technology tick, although Daro'Xen of the Migrant Fleet would later experiment with it, getting much further before abandoning the project. It was Tali'Zorah who finally worked it out in 2185 CE.

The concept behind the design is revolutionary. Instead of having static kinetic barriers that even bend under pressure after too much stress, cyclonic barriers produce constantly oscillating fields: instead of a constant, consistent field surrounding the entire ship, a single, centralized field is spun around the ship at supersonic speeds, creating the illusion of a universal shield system, whereas in reality it is actually constantly spinning around. By doing this, any projectile that impacts the barrier doesn't get absorbed like it would usually would, it gets "slapped aside". This not only reduces the stress on the barrier, but it also creates a virtually impenetrable field, as getting a hit past it is the equivalent of trying to shoot at a target inside a spinning ball. This also means that CBT can slap aside anything and everything, including non-kinetically driven projectiles such as debris, plasma and other forms of energy weaponry.

Due to its expensive cost and the fact that its best used on anything smaller than a destroyer to maximize effectiveness, as well as the drawbacks to its maintenance requirements and the fact that a damaged CMBT could endanger its operator by trapping them inside a field of unpredictably shifting fields, means few ships are equipped with it. Most salarian fighters and frigates possess the technology, however, especially after the Migrant Fleet handed over schematics of it. In 2185 CE, Tali'Zorah passed on finished design schematics to the Migrant Fleet, who later perfected it and installed it on the *Normandy* SR-2.
Cyclone-Class Tactical Nuclear Weapon

*“You said you wanted a big fucking bomb...you can't get much bigger than the Hiroshima buster.”*— Marcus L. Shepard to Jack.
The ***Cyclone***-**Class Tactical Nuclear Weapon** (***Cyclone***-**Class TNW**) is a form of 25-kiloton tactical nuclear weapon used by the Systems Alliance. Initially developed in the First Contact War as a last resort weapon against the turians, the *Cyclone*-class nuke was quietly taken out of the field following the war so as to avoid indictment and violation of the Citadel Conventions. A weapon was almost detonated in the Skyllian Blitz during the Battle of the Dhelile System by accident due to a miscommunication in the command structure, and was only averted due to the detonator being damaged. Several more were captured by Cerberus, with one later detonated onPragia in 2185 CE.

During the Reaper War, the Alliance disclosed the existence of their nuclear arsensal to the rest of the UGC. Despite being in violation of the Citadel Conventions, many charters in the Conventions were deemed null and void due to the current war, and that any further criminal sanction taken against the Alliance would be followed up following the end of the conflict. As such, numerous *Cyclone*-class weapons have been distributed throughout the UGC.
Dorn'Hazt

## Dorn'Hazt vas Qwib Qwib

*“If you find my son...tell him his father died having seen the homeworld.”*— Dorn'Hazt's last words.
Engineer **Dorn'Hazt vas Qwib Qwib**(formerly known as **Dorn'Hazt nar Konesh**and **Dorn'Hazt vas Lazataa**) was an engineer onboard the QMFV *Lazataa* and then the QMFV *Qwib Qwib* who served in the Migrant Fleet's Civilian Fleet. Born into Clan Hazt, Dorn was born with a love for his clan's affinity for engineering. After completing his pilgrimage, he joined the crew of the QMFV *Lazataa* as an engineer, where he later married Dagt'Ani and had a son, although their relationship grew distant after she joined the *Alarei.*He was devastated by her death in2185 CE, finding himself suddenly a single father. He sacrificed his career to raise his son and moved to the *Qwib Qwib*, only for him to be forced to give him to Jona's grandparents to look after when the Migrant Fleet went to war against the geth in2186 CE. He was present when the ship was shot down over Rannoch, and he sacrificed his life to fight back encroaching geth forces while Koris and the rest of the crew escaped.

* Attack on Donovan Hock's mansion

*“People these days want entertainment, comfort, love...they don't see that the galaxy is fragile. They only have to worry about simple luxuries. Why? Because people like*me*,*you*, and*Sederis*, are doing the terrible things that keep the galaxy spinning. This party...is for us! The cleaners, the support structure for the galaxy's gleeful delusions of peace! May there always be a market for the things we do!”*— Donovan Hock
**Donovan Hock**was a notorious and powerful crime lord, weapons dealer, smuggler and art collector that resided on Bekenstein. Born on Earth, Hock quickly spread his influence throughout the Northwestern coast of Canada, forming a large-scale criminal empire. However, a gang war in Vancouver-Seattle finally led to a crackdown throughout the country. Deciding he would have to move his empire or risk losing it, Hock took most of his assets and fled the planet, reestablishing himself in Milgrom on Bekenstein. Here, his empire grew again, bigger and stronger, with Hock quickly becoming one of the most powerful and influential crime lords in the galaxy. Commanding the respect of the leaders of both the Blue Suns and Eclipse, possessing a large quantity of lost history such as the lost head of the Statue of Liberty. His mansion lies on an island far away from the main city, allowing him basic obscurity in the eyes of the outside world.

Hock was finally brought down in 2185 CE when Kasumi Goto, with the aid of Marcus Shepard, infiltrated his mansion, wiped out his security, and burnt his mansion to the ground. In the ensuing chaos, Hock was killed.
Burhardt Weber

*“This is my prison vessel...so I'll treat my prisoners as I wish to.”*— Warden Weber.
Warden **Burhardt Weber**is the prison warden of the CSV *Orbit of Glass* as well as an officer in the Systems Coalition Navy. Originally the commander of the destroyer CSV *Forward Commune*, Burhardt was disgraced for his actions at the Battle of the Eureka Line in the Post-Apocalyptic War, where he retreated despite orders to hold the line against successive New Council advances, a decision that almost cost the Dominion the battle if not for geth reinforcements. As a result, he was demoted and later given command of the CSV *Orbit of Glass*, to which he has remained in command of ever since.
Collector Ship-to-Ship Particle Cannon

The **Collector Ship-to-Ship Particle Cannon**, known simply as the **Particle Cannon**, is a powerful particle weapon that served as the primary armament of the Collector cruiser. Firing a lance of blazing hot particle energy, the weapon is almost as powerful as Reaper thanix cannons, using raw, filtered energy to tear through kinetic barriers and melt armor. Reverse-engineered from existing Prothean particle weapons technology, the Particle Cannon is a devastating armament, managing to cripple the SSV *Normandy* SR-1 in a single hit. The weapon is extremely inaccurate however given where it is mounted on the ship's bow, meaning it cannot be guided like a Reaper's main gun, and only fires in one direction, meaning the cruiser must be facing its target fully to hit it.
Duct Rat

A **Duct Rat**is a term used to describe homeless children who grew up on the Citadel and spent their childhood crawling around in the ventilation shafts of the station. Duct rats are considered to have a short lifespan, as few of them ever survive into adolescence. Most of them die from deadfalls, laceration from fan blades, starving to death, or suffocating due to exposure to vacuum. Those who do survive into adolescence are considered lucky: they not only survived, but are now too big to move through the vents anymore. A man named Joshua Corp is an example of a duct rat who survived into adulthood.
Boltzmann System

The **Boltzmann System**is a star system located in the Serpent Nebula. Unlike the only other system in the nebula, Boltzmann has plenty of planets, but only one of them is inhabited. Boltzmann is home to "humanity's Illium", Bekenstein, whose capital city is often cited as the wealthiest and most luxurious human colony in the galaxy. Prior to 2183 CE, there was a relatively significant Alliance presence in the system, although it was kept light due to the system's proximity to the Citadel: after joining the Council, this has since changed, with the Alliance Fourth Fleet passing through the system every four months.

The system, before July, was saved the brunt of the Reaper invasion in 2186 CE for unknown reasons, although this changed when the Reapers invaded the system, decimating Bekenstein's surface, huskifying the population and then leaving the system alone.
Chora's Den

*“'A gentleman's club', Fist likes to call it. Still, those who work there, go there or have heard of it all know what Chora's Den really is; a glorified strip club.”*— David Anderson
**Chora's Den**was a gentleman's club on the Citadel's Shalta Ward, which was opened in 2178 CE and was owned by a human gang lord known as Fist, who established the club to be used as a front for his illegal activities. Considered sleazy and glorified by fundamental standards, the club is often referred to, quite bluntly and accurately, as a strip club. Despite this, Chora's Den was shut down in 2183 CE after Fist was killed and the place was shot up by Fist's rivals. Doran, manager of the Flux club, bought out the club and began construction of a second Flux in2185 CE.
Cipritine

**Cipritine**is the capital city of Palaven and the Turian Hierarchy. Founded well over a thousand years before the Unification War, Cipritine now serves as the home of the turian government and its military high command, and boasts a population of 19 million. In ancient times, it was the capital of the Hierarchy of Aemilonia, and after the space age of Palaven, the capital of the Empire of Palaven.

Cipritine was bombarded by Reaper forces once they breached the turian orbital defenses, reducing much of it to rubble. Cipritine has largely been converted into a Reaper conversion center, with the grounded turian military ordering civilians trapped on the planet to stay away from the city.
Dantius Towers

**Dantius Towers**were a series of dual skyscrapers aligned side by side that were being constructed as the new headquarters of Dantius Corporation in Nos Astra, Illium. Planned to be the tallest skyscrapers in the city, the original concept was dumbed down to cut costs and avoid any conflict with the Nos Astran City Council, who had only begrudgingly awarded them the permit to build anyway. One tower was completed and the other three quarters built when Dantius herself had her workers slaughtered, which in turn resulted in her security being decimated and Dantius herself being assassinated. Ever since her death, attempts to complete the towers were halted indefinitely when the City Council stepped in, having the NAPD seal off the buildings and await further orders.

The fate of the Towers were still up for debate by 2186 CE, when the Reapers invaded. The Reapers eventually ended up destroying them anyway when they invaded Illium on June 10th.

The **Collector Base Assault**, also known as the **Battle of the Collector Base**, was a Cerberus assault on the Collector Base that occurred on October 9, 2185 CE in the Galactic Core with the goal of retrieving the *Normandy* SR-2's abducted crew and destroying the Collectors. The assault was laden with issues, but is legendary for its decisive success. With nothing but a small squad to infiltrate a highly secure base with no reinforcements, Shepard and his team were able to cripple a Collector cruiser, infiltrate the Base, rescue their crew safely, destroy a Human-Reaper and wipe out the Collectors without a single casualty. The battle was the final major engagement against Reaper co-belligerent forces before the Reaper War, and marked the last time Shepard or his crew would fight alongside, and under, a Cerberus banner.
Colossus-Class Combat Platform

## Geth Colossus

* Will often coordinate with smaller infantry units to reinforce its weak points
* White optics
* Larger than most ground vehicles

## **Military information**

### Equipment

* Heavy plasma cannon
* Heavy siege pulse
* Kinetic Barrier

### Purpose

* Offensive/assault operations
* Heavy armoured support
* Mobile artillery platform
* Anti-armor unit

### Threat Level

* Individually: High
* In groups: Very High

*“Mistakes are made on the battlefield, and this is one of them: mixing up armatures and colossi. Yes, in terms of shape and design, they look almost identical. But the colossi are notably larger than their armature cousin, with a much more prominent and powerful plasma weapon and siege pulse. Their kinetic barriers are far more resistant, and their armor makes explosive weapons almost useless. Do not make the mistake of confusing the two: colossi are and will be the biggest threat you face on the field when its feet on the ground.”*— Field Combat Report Analysis, Systems Intelligence Administration.
The ***Colossus*-Class Combat Platform**, known as the **Geth Colossus**colloquially, is a subclass of the geth consensus. Similar in design to the geth armature (and often confused for it), but much taller and with a white color, the Colossus was first developed and deployed forty years after the First Morning War following the boom in geth manufacturing and the rise of Geth Armoury. Armed with a built-in heavy plasma cannon and a more powerful siege pulse, the Colossus is employed as a heavy armoured unit for assault and offensive operations. Unlike its smaller cousin, the Colossus is almost solely used during assaults and invasions, with its heavy weaponry and powerful shields making it invaluable as armoured support on the battlefield. The Colossus, while lacking speed and maneuverability, is able to go toe-to-toe with other armoured units such as the M35 Mako, making it a good anti-armor offensive heavy tank. They will often be accompanied by enemy forces to supplement its vulernability to flanking maneuvers, as its turning speed leaves it defenseless against fast-moving vehicles and infantry.
Creti Sparatus

*“We are turian, captain. We hold our ground to the last breath. It is how we fight.”*— Sparatus
Councilor **Creti Sparatus**is the turian councilor, and has been since 2159 CE. Born on Romulus, Sparatus entered the military, as was mandatory for all Hierarchy citizens, at age 15, and served five years in the Marine Corps, two in the Armiger Legion and three in the Blackwatch. By 2154 CE, he was ArchGeneral and in command of all turian ground forces. In 2159 CE, he gained enough popularity among the hierarchs to become the next turian councilor, replacing the previous councilor; he took the position, but at the sacrifice of his position in the military. Since then, he has remained in this seat, even after the Battle of the Citadel. He remains as the wartime councilor during the conflict with the Reapers.
Defense Projects Agency of the Republics

The **Defense Projects Agency of the Republics**(**DPAR**) is an agency of the Defense Department of Thessia responsible for the development and experimentation of emerging technologies for the military. Founded to build, field test and design new kinds of weapons, vehicles, aircraft and warships for the military, DPAR is behind every single part of the asari military's technological advancement.
Clan Urdnot

**Clan Urdnot**is a very large and powerful krogan clan and one of the most prominent in krogan history. Founded sometime prior to the krogan Bronze Age, Clan Urdnot is not only one of the oldest clans, but the fastest growing and one of the most powerful, with 45 million members and a military powerbase. Serving as the backbone of the Tuchankan Empire's military forces, Clan Urdnot's size made it an obvious choice to lead the Reformists in the civil wars, and later to form the UKC in 2183 CE. In 2185 CE, a UKC assault on a Weyrloc held facility, and later on their keep, led to the destruction of Clan Weyrloc, leaving Urdnot as the most powerful clan on the planet.
Conrad Verner

*“You took a pistol and held it to my face! You taught me what it was to be totally extreme. I learnt that lesson well.”*— Conrad Verner
**Conrad Verner**was an employee working for Cision Motors at their Citadel branch, as well as a "hardcore fan" of Commander Shepard. Born on Tyr, Conrad was raised by parents who were never home for him, and eventually left him altogether, leaving him at an orphange. Due to a lack of proper education, Conrad had to seek out his own schooling, but only managed to a basic doctorate's degree. Eventually giving up, Conrad tried to join the military, but was unable to pass the fitness test. At some point, Conrad got married to Sasha Yokoslov, but they never had any children. Eventually, Conrad heard of Shepard's accomplishment on Elysium, and developed an admiration of him, which eventually turned into a borderline obsession.

When Cerberus invaded the Citadel, Conrad was among those initially captured. While cleared, he was shortly after confronted by a group of Grim Skulls mercenaries planning to form a resistance against the occupation force, led by Lantar Sidonis. However, to escape, they needed a diversion. Conrad, conceding his fate, used himself as bait, running out and getting shot multiple times, but allowing the resistance fighters to escape. Conrad died of his wounds.
Core of Symphony

**Core of Symphony** is the capital city of Trebin and the rachni located underneath the surface of the planet. After being shown clemency by Commander Shepard in 2183 CE, the last rachni queen attempted to rebuild the rachni species on Utukku, only for the Reapers to force her to leave and restart again in 2186 CE. Following the Reaper War, at some point, the rachni colonize Trebin, marking the establishment of their first colony since the end of the Rachni Wars. Decades later, the Core of Symphony became the new capital of the rachni, and has since thrived in secrecy and far from the public eye where they can bother noone, nor be bothered.
Didact of the Navy

**Didact of the Navy** is the highest commissioned officer rank in the Navy of Palaven. Only one member of this force can hold this rank, and it gives them complete operational, logisitical and strategic authority over the Navy and all its fleets and stations; the equivalent in the Systems Alliance military would beFleet Admiral of the Navy. The Didact holds a dual position in the Commune of the Armed Forces and the Commune of the Hierarchs, answering to Palaven Military Command, the Primarch and the Metarch. The Didact also has the added position of being a potential candidate for becoming the next Primarch.

The most recent Didact by2186 CE is Irix Coronati, who masterminded Operation: Uppercut and continues to coordinate all turian naval operations throughout the Council theater of the Reaper War.
Collector Assault Rifle

The **Collector Assault Rifle** was an assault rifle designed and reverse engineered from the prothean assault rifle by the Reapers for use by the Collector ground forces. Unlike the particle beam and sniper rifle, the assault rifle uses more conventional projectiles rather than particle energy, making it more comparable to asari cycle weaponry. Its power source appears to be an internal organ with biotic capacitance; its ammunition resembles pellets of metallic enamel that strip shields extremely fast and with deadly efficiency. This makes it extremely useful against shielded soldiers, allowing Collector troopers and captains who use them to tear apart enemy infantry with relative ease. The weapon was only used by troopers and captains, and it was the most common weapon used by the Collector armies. So far, the weapon has only ever been used by Collector forces, with all remaining instances of the weapon being destroyed with the Collector Base in 2185 CE.
CSV Orbit of Glass

**CSV *Orbit of Glass*** **CS-9** (**Contained and Secured-9**) is a *Solitary*-class maximum-security prison starship currently serving in the Systems Coalition Navy and Galactic Dominion Navy. The *Orbit of Glass*was the ninth ship built of the *Solitary*-class line, built for the sole purpose of serving as a military penitentiary. The ship operates on the outskirts of Dominion space, keeping constantly on the move so as to make itself a difficult target to track for would-be breakouts. Currently serving the Coalition, the ship only houses prisoners captured by the Coalition, although transfers to other vessels have been made.

During a Spectre sanctioned exchange attempt, a brief battle broke out on the *Orbit of Glass*that ended in the deaths of several guards (secretly Promethean agents) and that of the intended prisoner.
Dakka System

The **Dakka System**is a star system located in the Nubian Expanse cluster. Colonized by the Old Republic of Rannoch in 105 CE, with quarian focus placed on colonizing Pragia, the system's most potentially habitual planet. The Dakka system was ground zero for the outbreak of the Quarian-Batarian War, where the entire system fell to the batarians in the war's early stages, and wouldn't be liberated  for ten years. After the collapse of the Greater Republic, the Dakka system, like the rest of the cluster, fell into disarray, until it was briefly claimed by the Batarian Hegemony, and later, Cerberus. As of the early 2180s, the system has no affiliation, and no claimant.

In 2186 CE during the Reaper War, the Dakka system has been ignored by Reaper forces, making it a safe haven for UGCand Cerberus forces to pass through safely.
Chloe Michel

*“My name is Chloe. Sorry...Doctor Chloe Michel. And whoever you are, I sure hope you can explain to me what is going on.”*— Chloe Michel
Doctor **Chloe Michel**is a medical professional and the chief administrator at Huerta Memorial Hospital on the Citadel. Born on Terra Nova, Chloe followed the family tradition of becoming a doctor. Earning her doctorate at the Lowell City Medical Academy, she immediately sought out work, but settled that she would not follow the path of her parents as a military medic, and instead as a civilian doctor. As a result, she eventually set up a med clinic in the Shalta Ward of the Citadel, which she continued to operate by herself for many years. Eventually, Chloe's professionalism got the attention of the administrator at Huerta Memorial, and she was offered a job; she gladly accepted, passing ownership of her clinic over to someone else. Chloe slowly worked her way up the hospital hierarchy, and by the time the Reaper War hit, she was administrator of the hospital. She continues to hold position well into the war, showing remarkable adaptability to any scenario, and has run the hospital admirably.
CSV Twin Pimples

**CSV *Twin Pimples* LD-34** (**Light Defense-34**) is a *Prokhorovka*-class light frigate in the Coalition Navy. The thirty-fourth ship to be built of the *Prokhorovka*-class line, the *Twin Pimples*was assigned to the Coalition Fourth Fleet, where it was later assigned as the personal flagship of Spectre Jessica Alenko and redeployed as a special operations vessel. It has since continued to operate under Alenko, with the crew having become loyal to her, especially after the incident on the *Orbit of Glass*.
Collector Pod

The **Collector Pod**was a form of sleeper pod used to house the abducted victims taken by the Collectors. Stored inside, the pod's environment lulls the inhabitant inside into unconsciousness, and the pod is filled with gas that keeps the user in that state until the pod is opened. The glass cockpit is impervious to firearms, requiring explosive weaponry to even dent it, preventing occupants from escaping or being rescued. Once at the Collector Base, the pods become liquid storage pods as the occupants are liquified at the genetic level, where they are pumped into whatever Reaper they are being used to create.
Byzantium

**Byzantium** was the capital city of New Constantinople and the second colony on the planet. Its existence owed to the heavy industry of LDS' factories, Byzantium is also home to the headquarters of the Systems Alliance Marine Corps, and possesses its own garrison as well. Larger than New Memphis, but paling in comparison to the likes of Valhalla and Milgrom, Byzantium has the highest employment rate of all Alliance colonies, with business booming in its industrial sector, and the local income of element zero and iridium mining boosting the local economy, Byzantium was set to topple its larger cousins by 2200 CE.

The city was subjected to a minor terrorist incident in 2185 CE, although it was resolved quietly and peacefully. In 2186 CE, the Reapers conquered Byzantium after a second attempt, devastating its factories and razing the entire city to the ground.
Brood Warrior

*“Think rachni soldiers...but with biotics. They only appear when the nest itself are threatened, and they seem to act as bodyguards for the queen. When they appear, they are a virtual whirlwind of terror. I've seen these guys tear apart asari commandos like they were nothing. Only krogan battlemasters are capable of actually killing these damn things, it feels like.”*— Turian soldier describing a brood warrior.
**Brood Warriors**are a variant of rachni that are rarely seen outside of rachni nests. Larger than the standard soldier, brood warriors can be the size of anywhere between a krogan and a skycar. Unlike soldiers, brood warriors have purple chitin instead of red, as well as a set of glowing blue eyes, and a glowing blue spine. Unique among the rachni for their biotic abilities, the brood warriors are known for being able to channel their biotics to an insane degree, managing to contain enough biotic energy to kill even an asari. They use this to devastating effect, and were known to appear when Council forces threatened a nest during the Rachni Wars. It is worth noting that only krogan battlemasters have been documented as being able to kill a brood warrior.
Dick-Wolf Energy

*“Tomorrow is now, the future is now.”*— Dick-Wolf motto.
**Dick-Wolf Energy**(**DWE**), formerly known as **Dick Energy Corporation**and **Wolf Technologies** respectively, was a human interstellar mining corporation specializing in mining and element zero processing. A merger of two seperate companies, Dick-Wolf was created to utilize the resources of the other, as well as to outcompete its rivals. By 2150 CE, the great "expansion rush" had begun in earnest, giving birth to larger and more ambitious companies: as a result, Dick-Wolf began to fall behind, especially in regards to the much larger and more successful Eldfell-Ashland. Desperately trying to remain relevant, Dick-Wolf decided too late to engage with other Council companies, something that Eldfell-Ashland had already done. By 2186 CE , mere months before the Reaper War , Dick-Wolf filed for bankruptcy and tanked in the stock market, forcing it to sell all its facilities at low prices: all of which were swooped up and bought by Eldfell-Ashland.
Collector Assassin

A **Collector Assassin**, also known as a **Collector Sharpshooter**or **Collector Marksman**, was a subtype of Collector  husk employed by the Reapers as the marksman element of the Collector ground force. Possessing kinetic barriers comparable to a  captain, but with the armor of a drone, the Collector Assassin is armed with a sniper rifle. The Assassin acts as a sniper unit, using their long range weapon to snipe at enemy targets from afar. Despite the relative lack of intelligence and understanding of tactics, the assassin is a skilled sharpshooter and can prove deadly to oblivious infantry. Assassins can deploy energy-based hex shields as deployable cover, making them an effective complimentary unit alongside other Collector infantry. Assassins can also be possessed by a Reaper to augment their strengths for a period of time.
Code Blue (Peak Facilities)

**Code Blue** is a declaration of emergency used by Peak Facilities when a highly dangerous contagion, infection, gas, substance, mineral, creature, plague or disease has escaped containment. Code Blue is usually only declared when the subject in question has spread throughout a large section of the facility or escaped the Hot Labs. The response to a Code Blue is too deliberately damage or cripple systems throughout the facility with the goal of destroying the escaped subject or preventing its escape. The Code Blue signal is also relayed to nearby population centers, like Port Hanshan, so as to have all transport to the facility ceased to prevent endangerment of the civilian populace.

A Code Blue was declared during phase one of the Battle of Peak 15 at the Peak 15 facility, when rachni test subjects managed to breach containment and overwhelm the ERCS security.
17th Shock Troops Company

The **17th Shock Troops Company**was a Systems Alliance Marine Corps combat unit attached to the 4th Shock Troops Battalion commanded by Major Norman Kyle. The unit was trained at the Systems Alliance Marine Corps Barracks on Ferris Fields, where it was then stationed in Valhalla on Elysium as part of the 52nd Valhalla Garrison. Kyle had his company retreat during the Battle of Elysium, before then ordering it back to participate in evacuation of the civilian populace. Even then, his superiors could see that he was unable to wrap his head around his own command, and hoped that having his company in the vanguard during the First Battle of Torfan would give him the necessary chance to show off his command ability.

Unfortunately, this proved to work against Alliance command, as a combination of pressure from the brass to perform, miscommunication with the fleet in orbit and overall strategic arrogance, eventually led to Kyle having his company charge the batarian fortifications in the open. As a result, all members but Shepard were slaughtered before Alliance forces could reinforce them.
David Archer

*“I've been counting.”*
*“Anything in particular?”*
*“The number of days you lenghtened my life.”*— David Archer to Shepard on Grissom Academy.
Student **David Archer**was a former member of Cerberus and a student at Jon Grissom Academy currently helping with the Crucible project. Both he and his older brother are scientific prodigies in their select field, but Gavin learnt much of what he knows from his younger brother. David himself is autistic, but is a mathematical savant, with a unique ability to communicate with the geth using a primitive replication of their higher pitch electronic warbles which is the sound made by the geth when transmitting direct information (essentially, "geth speech"). Unfortunately, David was forced to integrate with a VI as part of Project Overlord, where he was driven insane. After his liberation, David was sent to Grissom Academy so he would be safe from Cerberus and able to recuperate while using his skills to develop his own life free of his brother's direction. In 2186 CE, David has become an expert in weaponized systems, making invaluable to the Crucible project, of which is currently aiding with.
Collector Boarding Craft

The **Collector Boarding Craft**was a form of exoatmospheric vehicle used for transporting Collector boarding parties onto starships. Modified per cycle to accomodate for different ship designs, hundreds of boarding craft are attached to the ventral section of a cruiser, allowing for quick boarding of starships. The vehicles are usually large enough for Collectors to bring pods for abduction as well.

*“Shit, Atlas! Everybody get down!”*— Jack.
The **Defense-09 Powered Exoskeleton/Armoured Fighting Vehicle**(**D-09 PE/AFV**), colloquially known as the **Atlas**, is a class of powered exoskeleton/armoured fighting vehicle that was first designed and built by the Systems Alliance, and used by many different groups. The Atlas, in actuality, is an armed and modified military variant of the older civilian Triton exoskeleton, keeping the same design while modifying it for military use. The first militarization of the Atlas mech was performed by the Alliance, but prototypes never developed past field testing until the vehicle was taken up by Cerberus, finished and deployed. Years after the PA War, numerous generations of Atlas exist, with the eighth generation being universally used by the Galactic Dominion Armed Forces and Joint Crusader Legions.
Dagt'Hazt

## Dagt'Hazt vas Alarei

*“Jona, be strong for daddy! Mummy loves you very much!”*— Dagt's last words before being killed by geth.
Chief Scientist **Dagt'Hazt vas Alarei**(formerly known as **Dagt'Ani nar Lazataa** and **Dagt'Ani vas Ishlee**) was a prominent scientist and expert of the geth that served in the Migrant Fleet's Special Projects Fleet. Born into Clan Ani, Dagt adopted her clan's interest in the geth, given that a member of Clan Ani had been involved in their creation centuries earlier. Dagt proved herself to be extremely intelligent, and after finishing her pilgrimage, Jaammo'Reemun offered her a position as a scientist in the Special Projects fleet, which Dagt accepted. She later married Dorn'Hazt and they had a son, although their relationship grew distant after she joined the crew of the Alarei. Dagt was part of Rael'Zorah's secret weapons program in 2185 CE, and subsequently died when the geth activated and slaughtered the crew.

Died September 18, 2185.
Collector Light Particle Cannon

The **Collector Light Particle Cannon**, also known as the **Collector Particle Beam**, was a particle beam weapon designed and reverse engineered from the prothean particle rifle by the Reapers for use by the Collector ground forces. Designed as a portable, infantry version of the Collector ship's main gun, the light particle cannon is used by Collector captains as a form of anti infantry heavy weapon. It fires a lance of highly concentrated particle energy at a target, impacting with enough force to disintegrate most armor and drain shields. So far, the weapon has only ever been used by Collector forces, with all remaining instances of the weapon being destroyed with the Collector Base in 2185 CE.
Datzzzha-Class Heavy Cruiser

The ***Datzzzha*-Class Heavy Cruiser** was a classification of cruiser that served in the Hegemony Navy from 2068 CE to present, and was the successor to the *Belradi*-Class. As per Hegemony habit, obsolete ships were kept in service much longer than other races would keep theirs, meaning the *Datzzzha-*class was already out-of-date by 2183 CE. Regardless, the *Datzzzha*-class made up a large number of the Hegemony navy, even outnumbering the Hegemony's light cruisers. The class fought in the Skyllian Blitz, where its inferiority compared to the more advanced Alliance cruisers was answered by simply building more of the cruisers and upgrading their armament. By the time these improvements were made, the war was over. Heavy cruisers were used heavily by the Slaver Corps, favoured over their larger battlecruiser counterparts.

As a result of heavy production, by the Reaper War, the *Datzzzha*-class makes up the bulk of what remains of the Hegemony's exhausted military. Because of this, very few have seen combat, the batarian ships held in reserve for key engagements.
Destroyer-Class Combat Platform

## Geth Destroyer

*“Tall, possessing an hilariously disproportionate head and wielding a deadly flamethrower, the destroyers are the former pyros of the geth army. Later replaced by the more specialized Pyro-class units, the destroyer has the size of a juggernaut, matched with the mobility of a trooper. Armed with the unique geth flamethrower, the destroyer's small head has a purpose: the old adage of "smaller head, smaller target" applies, and it was designed specifically to make it harder for quarian snipers to neutralize the unit. Despite being relatively obsolete on the field now, the destroyer still sees action, and soldiers who engage them are cautioned to tread carefully. They are still geth.”*— Field Combat Report Analysis, Systems Intelligence Administration.
The ***Destroyer*-Class Combat Platform**, also known as the **Geth Destroyer**colloquially, is a subclass of the geth consensus. Taller than a  trooper, but smaller than a juggernaut, the Destroyer was, before 2183 CE, the dedicated pyro unit of the Geth Army and Geth Heretic Army. Built not long after the First Morning War, the destroyers were given unique geth flamethrowers, of which only they used in the field. Whilst seen as dangerous, the destroyer's flaws were quickly brought to light in the Eden Prime War. Despite their shielding, the destroyer's size still made it a stand-out target, allowing infantry to easily identify one, keep their distance and kill it before they got within range of its flamethrower. As a result, the geth later fazed out the destroyer with the Pyro, but continued to use destroyer platforms as reserves.

Unlike the rest of the geth, the Geth Heretics did not have access to the newer pyro units, and were forced to keep using their obsolete destroyer models. Their flamethrowers also came in short supply, and they were soon forced to replace them with the M-451 flamethrower.
Dark Energy

**Dark Energy**, also known as **Dark Matter** in some contexts, is the name given to the universal "fifth force" identified by human astronomers during Earth's late 20th Century CE. Like gravity, dark energy influences all matter in the galaxy, and its effects can be seen on both cosmological and subatomic scales. The repulsive effects of dark energy are the primary reason the expansion of the universe is gradually accelerating.
Citadel Conventions

The **Citadel Conventions**are a series of treaties and protocols drafted and signed by all Council species in response to the brutal aftermath of the Krogan Rebellions. The Citadel Conventions are comprised of numerous treaties, among them being theTreaty of Farixen and Treaty of Warfare. The Conventions were put in place to ensure that the atrocities observed during the Rebellions would never be committed again. Every new species wishing to join the Council must sign the Conventions.
David al Talaqani

*“I'm sorry, I get these headaches a lot. You need to speak to Fai Dan about that.”*— David al Talaqani
**David al Talaqani**was a former resident of theZhu's Hope colony on Feros. Born on Feros as one of the first colonists to be born there, David al Talaqani was raised up as a construction worker, a job he took too eagerly and without regret. He is responsible for having helped set up the ExoGeni HQ, as well as several prefab bunkers. He even helped create the foundations for concrete struts when the colony decided to turn the decommissioned hull of the MSV *Borealis* into a building. David was, like the rest of the colonists, under the control of the Thorian by the time the geth attacked, and helped the defense. He was killed when the geth launched a surprise second assault on the colony.
Clan Gatatog

**Clan Gatatog** was a small, but influential, krogan clan. Founded sometime into the krogan Silver Age, Clan Gatatog was once quite large, but lost most of its members during the great wars of Tuchanka, and shrunk dramatically following the nuclear war. Since then, it has never been able to reclaim its former glory, and has largely remained as a vassal to Clan Weyrloc. Many Gatatog warriors served in the Tuchankan Empire's military forces, and after the Rebellions ended and the civil wars begun, Gatatog allied itself with the Traditionalists. It entered talks with Clan Urdnot in 2185 CE when it was clear the Traditionalists were losing, but used this as a cover to try and assassinate  Urdnot Wrex and seize control. This attempt failed, and upon learning of it, Urdnot Wrex had Clan Gatatog wiped out. What survivors were left joined Clan Weyrloc, and died during the Battle of the Hagalok Hospital.
Byzantium Hostage Crisis

### Outcome

Subcommittee safely extracted and terrorists talked down* L2 implants decommissioned and reparations offered to former users
* 4th Biotic Assault Division formed in 2186

### Number of Participant(s)

59

*“If I had understood the exact repercussions of my original decision...if I had only known.”*— Martin Burns.
The **Byzantium Hostage Crisis**, also known as the **Byzantium Terrorist Attack**, was a hostage situation initiated by former students of Conatix's failed biotic program in Byzantium, New Constantinople on September 8, 2185 CE. Led by Rahna Birdal, the former students attacked Stranded Hotel where members of the Parliament's Subcommittee on Transhuman Studies were staying, their local security escort having been retiring for the night for drinks: what security was left was quickly subdued and the Subcommittee members taken hostage. The attack was made in response to Chairman Martin Burns' recent legislation which disregarded biotics with the old L2 implants, denying them reparations for Conatix's actions and their agony. The Normandy squad intervened, and despite being captured themselves, managed to talk the "terrorists" down.

The result of the crisis was significant. Not only did the chairman overturn his original decision and provide the necessary reparations, but Rahna and her students would later form the 4th Biotic Assault Division, a specialized Systems Alliance biotic artillery unit formed as a task force to fight the Reapers in 2186 CE.
Destroyer-Class Frigate

The ***Destroyer*-Class Frigate**(often referred to as a **Reaper Destroyer**) is a classification of frigate that makes up a portion of the Reaper armada. Making up a large portion of the Reaper forces, the *Destroyer*-class was one of the most common forms of Reaper warship encountered by the forces of the asari cycle. The term "*Destroyer*-class frigate" was first used by the UGC to classify the type of Reaper, and no universally used name for its class exists: the class was named because of the confusion surrounding its classification, as it performs the role of frigate and destroyer interchangably. As such, the name is a compromise.

One of the smaller, if not the smallest, class of Reaper warship, the *Destroyer*-class is not as powerful as its compatriots, but remains a force to be reckoned with. Due to its size, weaponry and build, the *Destroyer*-class is capable of personally dispatching enemy ground forces, whereas larger Reaper capital ships cannot due to their immense size. Destroyers will often be deployed to clear out fortifications, provide support for their own troops, or guard key areas awarded priority by the Reapers. Destroyers do not possess kinetic barriers, but their armor is thick enough to repel numerous MAC salvos, and is essentially impervious to smaller arms fire such as tank shells or rockets. Their only armament is a smaller and less devastating version of the thanix cannon used by all Reaper forces.
Dholen System

The **Dholen System**is a star system in the Far Rim cluster. Colonized by the Old Republic of Rannoch in 79 CE, largely centered around Haestrom, Dholen became one of the most developed systems the quarians had, with Haestrom serving as the nerve center for their entire naval powerbase, acting as the headquarters and home of their navy. During the Krogan Rebellions, a major battle was fought in the system, where the quarians demonstrated their ability to hold their own: they held out for 23 days against a brutal onslaught of krogan bombardment upon Haestrom and numerous other worlds in the system until the Union and Hierarchy arrived to support them. It was because of this action, and subsequent actions, that the quarians gained a seat on the Citadel Council.

When Haestrom fell to the geth in the First Morning War, the Dholen system subsequently fell with it, with quarian attempts to reclaim the system failing drastically, forcing them to adopt a more defensive, homefield strategy.
Devra

**Devra**is the communications officer aboard the ARW *Destiny Ascension* and a naval officer in the Navy of the Republics. Born on Kurinth, Devra went through her usual maiden stage, working on Omega as a stripper for the majority of her maiden years. Once she was a matron, she signed up and joined the asari navy, becoming a communications specialist. She served on at least six different ships before finally being posted on the *Destiny Ascension*, becoming its first comms specialist. She survived the Battle of the Citadel, and continues to serve on the ship right through into the Reaper War.
