Han'Gerrel vas Neema

Han'Gerrel is a member of the Quarian Migrant Fleet Admiralty Board in charge of the Heavy Fleet. He is aggressive and focused on preserving his people's place in the galaxy, and unafraid to use underhanded tricks to do so. However, he does have a sense of honor that can be appealed to, despite his stubborness.

### Early Life

When Han was a young man, the Migrant Fleet was attacked by batarian raiders. He and a young Rael'Zorah (who later fathered Tali'Zorah) were serving on board the gunship Yaska when the raiders were able draw off a tramp freighter. WIth six of the ten Yaska crewmen dead, and alone on the bridge, Han told Rael "We're underage. They can't charge us with breaking formation". The two quarians with Han on the weapons and Rael on the helm recused the freighter. Despite the freighter's crew hailing them as heroes, the leadership of the fleet "slapped metals" on the two young men and sent them off to Pilgrimage earlier than normal. Their friendship lasted the rest of Rael's life.

### Mass Effect 2

After Tali'Zorah completed her pilgrimage, she joined Han'Gerrel's ship with her gift of geth data in hand.

Han'Gerrel was unaware of fellow Admiral Rael'Zorah's research and when Tali was accused of treason by the other Admirals, he firmly believed in her innocence. Han'Gerrel was greatly interested in making an attempt to retake the Quarian homeworld of Rannoch from the Geth, pointing out they will need a homeworld to shelter their non-combatants when Tali argues they may need their ships when the Reapers invade.

### Mass Effect 3

In 2186, the Migrant Fleet aquired dual-use ship materials that could be used to create dreadnought-scale weaponry. A few months later several Spectres reported there had been an extremely violent clash between the Migrant Fleet and the mercenary company of the Blue Suns over the Terminus world of Korlus, after which the Migrant Fleet salvaged a large number of starship parts. When the Citadel Council demanded to send Council weapons inspectors, Han'Garrel fired back: “We have no embassy on the Citadel, and are no longer signatories to the Treaty of Farixen. Our armaments are none of the Council’s business. Further, these worries are unfounded. We have never had, nor do we plan to have, hostile intent to Council species.”

In the midst of the Reaper War, the Quarian Migrant Fleet and Admiralty Board voted to go to war to retake Rannoch. While the quarians were initially successful, the war pressured the geth into accepting Reaper help for survival. As a result, the Migrant Fleet becamed trapped within the Perseus Veil. When Commander Shepard on board the *Normandy* arrived, seeking the quarian's assistance in the Reaper War and the rescue of Earth, the quarians immediately put her and interim Admiral Tali'Zorah on the task of disabling Reaper Signal on the geth dreadnought. However, when they succeeded, Han'Garrel insisted on pressing the attack instead of retreating, with Shepard and her team still on board the dreadnought he was attempting to destroy. On board the *Normandy* after the mission, Han'Gerrel was unapologetic for his actions. Admiral Shala'Rann was apoplectic, accusing him of being a troublemaker on the turian border for years and threatened him with treason for his reckless behavior regarding the dreadnought, to which Han'Garrel replied he was within his rights as Admiral of the Heavy Fleet. This friction continued throughout the quarian war on the geth.

When Shepard and her team managed to destroy the Reaper controlling the geth, Han'Garrel ordered an all out attack on the disabled geth. Shepard was able to convince Han'Gerrel to break off the attack while Legion uploaded the upgrades to the geth, allowing them to gain full sapience. As a result, peace between the quarians and the geth was achieved.

Han'Gerrel flew in the Battle of London with the rest of the joined fleets to try to deploy The Crucible.

## Every One That Asketh

Like all who survived the Battle of London, Han'Garrel was trapped in the Local Cluster after The Crucible went off. On May 14th, the Charon Relay was reactivated by Tali'Zora and the *Normandy.*

Han'Gerrel initially suggested that the fleet leave the system and make their way back to Rannoch on their own- though he was alone in thinking this was a good idea. Eventually, even he ad to admit the the idea had no basis in reality and along with Admiral Daro'Xen moved on to the idea that Tali'Zorah's mass-relay activation system be considered a state secret. Tali'Zorah interrupted the quickly growing heated argument, and provided data that proved the dire state of everyone in system. Han and Xen dropped the idea of keeping the system to themselves and instead turned their energy into helping everyone get home at last.
