Saarvah's Legion

A former smuggling ring known in the 22nd century for their specialization as hitmen, **Saarvah's Legion** is a mercenary outfit based out of the grimy streets of Omega.

## History

Saarvah's Legion was founded by Saarvah Dantiza in 1645. It began as a company of asari hatching schemes in Omega's seedy underbelly but eventually expanded to be a mid-tier mercenary company with hands in any field that provided enough credits. It has stayed afloat amid multiple failures thanks to the ingenuity and stubbornness of its leader, Saarvah, but has since dwindled into a small for-hire only company with a penchant for murder due to its now miniscule body and budget.

RIV Bright Future

The ***RIV Bright Future*** was a Honame-design Survey Vessel commissioned and operated by the Republican Exploratory Charter, itself a sub-organization of the Asari Republics. During a charting mission to the distant, frozen world of Lattesh it came under attack by the Zeioph, crash-landing on its planet of study. Its crew, all asari, were lost in the incident.

Triginta Petra

**Location:** Milky Way / Sigurd's Cradle / Lenal System

A low-density planet in comparison to Earth, **Triginta Petra** is also drier, with wide land masses that are largely desert. Its dextro-chirality native life has yet to make it out of the oceans, primarily producing cyanobacteria which provide a limited amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

A handful of turians colonized the planet and attempted to introduce land plants. Their chief hurdle was the lack of good topsoil, which required imports and sophisticated farming practices to overcome. The farmer's maxim on Triginta Petra was "if you can last five seasons, you officially know what you're doing."
Sanves

**Location:** Milky Way / Athena Nebula / Ialessa System

The asari colony world of **Sanves** houses a hospitable nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, temperate-climate and sprawling wilderness, making the world a popular tourist destination. Large tracks of untamed forest surround the capital, drawing in millions of sightseers, game hunters, and biologists. The asari, mindful of how rapid expansion has damaged the ecologies of other planets, have so far restricted settlements.
Tomkah

The **Tomkah** is a versatile and hardy infantry fighting vehicle originally designed by the Terminus firm Groundslide Garage. Particularly enjoyed by krogan users, it has seen a wide variety of knock-offs and upgraded models spread across the galaxy in the years since its creation.

## Description

It is outwardly similar to the Alliance M35 Mako and M29 Grizzly, although it is considerably larger, standing almost twice as high as a standard Alliance IFV. Its only visible armament is a large double-barreled mass accelerator turret atop the vehicle. Its armor is strong enough to withstand a ten-ton bomb.

Vital to the Tomkah's operation is a part called the combustion manifold. The vehicle can run without it, but mechanics are very reluctant to deploy affected vehicles out in the field. Creating a replacement takes some three days' worth of work by a skilled engineer.
Typhon System

**Location:** Milky Way / Phoenix Massing

The **Typhon System** is a G-class star and the four planets that orbit it within the Phoenix Massing of the Terminus Systems. Notable for the independent, somewhat medieval colony world of Aite, it is a relatively obscure system left alone by much of the galaxy proper.

Plenesh System

## Plenesh

**Location:** Milky Way / Hindara Globular

The **Plenesh System** is a grouping of two planets and an asteroid belt orbiting a red dwarf within the Attican Traverse. Initially colonized by the quarians during the height of their civilization on Rannoch, the cluster has been largely abandoned in the aftermath of the Geth War. As of the 22nd century, it serves as a haven for pirates and scoundrels making their way through the universe.

Quarian Colonization Timeline

Roaming homeless in the Migrant Fleet for several centuries, the **Quarians** no longer have a planet to call their own. Though their long-term goal since the conclusion of the Geth War has been either the reclamation of Rannoch or the settlement of a new homeworld, their own weak immune systems and desire to return home have left them wandering the stars, lacking any terrestrial territory to call their own.
Rite of Passage

The **Rite of Passage** is an ancient krogan tradition dating back to the centuries after the Krogan Armageddon, one that sees a young krogan pass from their childhood to their adulthood, joining up with a new clan and earning their place within society. The rite can be undertaken at any time when the child shows enough maturity, though most undergo the trial between the ages of 10 and 15. The rite varies depending upon which clan one wishes to join, though all clans do honor the tradition in their own way.

## Description

Clan shamans oversee the preparation and execution of the rites, with the petitioners first seeking approval from the clan's chief before solidifying participation in the rite with the shaman.

### Known Rites

 Urdnot | Face off against waves of Tuchankan fauna, culminating with surviving a Thresher Maw encounter
Temerarus

**Location:** Milky Way / Minos Wasteland / Caestus System

Visible in Invictus' night sky is **Temerarus**, a planet named for the turian spirit said to have inspired the crew of their first manned moon launch. A boiling hot rock planet, Temerarus is much hotter than its temperate neighbor due to a thick atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide and helium. Its hot surface is largely composed of boron. Surrounded by a thick dust cloud, Temerarus is often struck by small meteors, making exploration dangerous.
Raysha

**Location:** Milky Way / Hades Gamma / Dis System

**Raysha** is a standard hydrogen-helium gas giant with traces of sodium and ammonia in its atmosphere.

## Description

During the brief "gold rush" to Klensal, a few companies established an infrastructural for helium-3 skimming and deuterium mining on Raysha's icy moons. When Klensal proved to be less wealthy than expected, the facilities were stripped for parts and abandoned.
Parables for Ponderance

**Parables for Ponderance**is an ancient salarian compilation of short stories centered around an elderly teacher, Neydi Jath (Or Jath Neydi as the name would be revised as salarian society grew), and his wanders with his apprentice, Bedig Inoste (Inoste Bedig later on). The author has been lost to time, however its lessons in questioning and hypothesizing are still widespread throughout the Union.

## Known Passages

* *"Yes Bedig, the wind pushes the sail, which pushes the boat, which carries the people. But what, my child, forces the wind?"*- Neydi to Bedig upon arriving at the sea within the first chapter. Despite taking place on Sur'Kesh, solid names and locations are never revealed.
Siege of Estivus Erax

A brief but violent skirmish on the newly-minted independent Turian colony of Altakiril, the **Siege of Estivus Erax** was an attack by the countercultural movement the Vengeful Spirits on the hardy colonists of Altakiril as a method of getting noticed by the Turian Hierarchy.

## Aftermath

Noting that their movement would only run into more danger and loss of life after once they started moving towards Hierarchy-protected space, the Spirits' second in command, Tolis Nore struck the day after the battles concluded. During a flyover of Estivus Erax, the capital, Nore shoved leader Lorol Taninian out of the open-air shuttle. The pilot, one of Nore's loyalists, later claimed that they had been fired upon by holdouts and Lorol fell out during evasive maneuvers.

Translation Technology

**Translation Technology** is an idea as old as language itself. Since the dawn of each civilization, groups have dreamed of speaking to one another without the natural barriers created by different languages and isolation from other groups. As each species progressed throughout history, technology either reached a point where they could develop such a translator or they were uplifted into galactic society and introduced to the secrets of such a power. As such, translation technology is relatively cheap and easily available across the populated Milky Way galaxy, and it absolutely vital for society to function as it does. Even the Batarian Hegemony, strict isolationists since the 2170s, still provide the galaxy at large with updated linguistic lexicons to spread their propaganda.

## History

Each species that did not end up being uplifted by another more advanced civilization came to develop translation software on their own. As such, species like the Krogan and the Vorcha have never taken the time to research their own native translation software, relying upon those already provided to take care of the service for them.

Sykaris

### Skin Tones

* Domesticated variants can range from dark red, to bright pink. \*Much rarer wild-variants are grey or white

### Earth Analogue

Antarctic Krill

Quite possibly of the most important domesticated organisms in Citadel Space, the **Sykaris** arthropod is native to the deep waters of Kahje.

## Description

Sykaris have historically been a major source of nourishment to the hanar species, first domesticated around the time ancient human ancestors began using stone tools. The population growth spurred by in-earnest ranching of fattened domestic Sykaris was a leading cause of the hanar industrial revolution, and the environmentalist revolution that came after it as rampant farming polluted tropical waters. Today, Sykaris aquatic whirlpool farms can be found nearby every location where substantial numbers of hanar have settled, from the Citadel to the largest compounds of Rough Tide. The hanar absorb them raw, but since the signing of the Compact, the Drell have turned Sykaris into somewhat of a galactic delicacy. They can be boiled, broiled, or fried, and are often served with salad or spicy drell noodle dishes. Their meat is described as plump, salty, and filling.

Sykaris inhabit a key step on Kahje’s trophic food chain. They feed upon the sea’s abundant phytoplankton and zooplankton, breed in huge numbers, and are subsequently preyed upon by an enormous number of species occupying the lower levels of the food chain. The total biomass of Sykaris is estimated to exceed 540,000,000,000 tonnes, the largest out of any of Kahje’s species. Wild variants can grow anywhere from 9 to 11 centimeters long, and are typically grey or snowy white. Domesticated, they breed smaller, at a maximum of 7 centimeters, and usually exhibit an appealing bright pink hue. They are totally eyeless, depending upon a complex mass of sensory-limbs for direction, often simply following along with the movements of the school, or “tide”. If one Sykaris detects a predator and moved away from it, the entire tide follows.
Siniez'ma

**Location:** Milky Way / Paraxhi Square / Lisii'ne System

**Siniez'ma** is a dense, terrestrial world within the Lisii'ne System. Housing a reducing atmosphere, the lack of oxygen made development of this world pale in comparison to the forayan when compared to the oxygen-housing neighbor that is Perix. Its four small moons serve to house several small mining outposts, though the surface of Siniez'ma is largely unexploited.
Suboracil

**Suboracil** is a drug created by Doctor Fiosa Shifim to prevent and protect against the Fisherman's Blight. It is manufactured and distributed by the Illuminated Primacy's Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

## History

The Suboracil vaccine was developed by now-famous Doctor Fiosa Shifim, an accomplished virologist, to combat the deadly Fisherman’s Blight disease that destroyed Vesohk Life Dome in 2128 and ravaged Kargarte Life Dome in 2151. Suboracil is introduced to a host’s system via injection, typically in the inner arm, and is usually administered to drell at infancy - a requirement by law, given the destruction of past outbreaks. Any drell born off-planet must first receive the treatment before being allowed on Kahje. Since hanar aren’t affected by Fisherman’s Blight on their own, taking the vaccine is optional for them.

If administered too late in the course of the Blight’s infection, a suboracil injection can result in the disease’s effects being sped up, which in turn leads to the sudden, excruciating death of the afflicted patient.
Riaxhiine

**Riaxhiine**, sometimes referred to unflatteringly as **Bug Moss**, is a type of plant native to the forayan homeworld of Regdika. At home in the deep, dark recesses that the insectoid species calls home, Riaxhiine is an agriculturally significant plant across the planet, and has been transplanted on nearly each of their colony worlds. The sporophytes, once harvested, can be boiled down into a sweet nectar known as Haii'zh, a high-calorie food utilized in a great many forayan dishes.

## Description

Individual Riaxhiine are known to get no more than three centimeters tall, growing perpendicularly to whatever angle of surface they cling to. Surrounding the attachment point is an 'umbrella' which makes up the majority of the plant, a disk of white tissue that adheres rigidly to the minerals. Typically less than a centimeter in diameter, these 'umbrellas' house the main 'stalk' of the plant in the center of their shape.

As water is detected, the 'umbrella' loosens up to allow for the cupping of the liquid. As it nears a critical point of being so full that it may be pushed from the rock face, the cup is reattached to the base where it had initially detached by a complicated cellular process known as 'zipping'.

Water is then hydrostatically pushed both up the 'stalk' and down the 'root', one end embedding itself further into the mineral and the other moving upward, exposing its sporophytes to the cavern to be dispersed as the caves 'breathe'.
Thresher Maws

**Thresher maws** are subterranean carnivores that spend their entire lives eating or searching for something to eat. They are enormous, violent creatures that burst up from the ground without warning when disturbed.

They reproduce via spores that can lie dormant for millennia and are robust enough to survive prolonged periods in deep space and atmospheric re-entry. As a result, thresher maw spores appear on many worlds, spread by previous generations of space travelers.

## Biology

Thresher maws are solitary creatures; two or three at most can be found on a single planet. They live alone in nests spanning large areas underground. They can grow in excess of 30 meters above the ground, with a body nearly twice that size beneath the surface. The body of an adult thresher maw never entirely leaves the ground; only the head and tentacles erupt from the ground to attack.

Aggressive and highly territorial, thresher maws feed by absorbing significant quantities of solar radiation and survive best on planets, asteroids or moons with little or no atmosphere. They also consume minerals and ores from the ground itself for use in an unusual form of photosynthesis. This metabolic process, utilizing solar radiation and minerals as raw materials, creates the fuel that powers their various biological processes and allows them to move their significant mass with surprising speed.

Due to their size, and their burrowing method of movement, thresher maws are mostly immobile above ground, but can move at incredible velocities through subterranean environments. They can absorb a tremendous amount of damage and are very hard to kill. Their attacks consist of spitting a powerful, viscous acid that splashes on contact, burrowing up from beneath their prey, and smashing their targets with their claws in close range while emitting infra sound. Due to the overwhelming, direct physical nature of their attacks, shields are completely ineffective at mitigating any damage that is taken.

## History

According to krogan history, thresher maws are all descended from one specific maw, Kalros, on Tuchanka. As of 2182, scientists had yet to prove or disprove the homeworld of the maws, though the harshness of the krogan homeworld does lend credence to the belief.

First encountered by the Systems Alliance on the newly-colonized world of Akuze, a team of 50 marines was massacred when investigating the loss of the colonial town of Canyon Blue.
Special Intervention Unit

The **Special Intervention Unit**, abbreviated as **SIU**, is a special forces group within the military forces of the Batarian Hegemony well-known for their brutal training regimen.

## History

In 2168, after the Blue Suns hired a group of former SIU operatives to run a hostile environment training camp on the planet Xetic, an investigation by Illium authorities into the camp found that the mortality rate was as high as 18%; however, an independent Blue Suns inquiry found that the batarian operatives' harsh training techniques were consistent with those employed in the SIU training program.

Thunawanuro

**Location:** Milky Way / Omega Nebula / Batalla System

A strange island of peace in the lawless Terminus Systems, **Thunawanuro** is a planet of crushing gravity but abundant life. As its ponderous name indicates, it was colonized by the elcor, who have several booming industries on the planet. Hydroelectric dams and biofuels from tough woody algae provide much of the planet's energy. Mines export uranium, thorium, and gold taken to space with generous use of mass effect fields. Of course, pirates target the elcor's shipping as soon as it leaves orbit, but the elcor's deals with mercenary companies keep away all but the most foolhardy of attackers.
The Maw

**The Maw**is a noted geographical feature of the desert world of Zied'nar. A massive sinkhole responsible for much of the tumultuous currents that wreak havoc in the deeper parts of the planet's seas of sand, this formation draws tons upon tons of sand per second deeper towards the planet's bedrock. The city of Olonkador is built upon the slopes leading up to its crest, its foundations lain within the bedrock, weathering the constant storm.
Regdika

**Location:** Milky Way / Eyes of Mizhuna / Nosikae System

The forayan homeworld of **Regdika** is a cold and arid world covered in wind-swept dunes and the expansive cave systems left behind by ancient, underground rivers. With few settlements on the surface and a less-than-welcoming attitude to outsiders, there are few people who have ever seen the living spaces of the insectoid species.

## Description

Beneath the expansive flatlands, plateaus, and crags that make up the bulk of Regdika’s heated surface, the majority of the planet’s tectonic layer is heavily carved out in vast networks of tunnels linking the planet’s many canyons, caves, and underground caverns. Homeworld to the forayans, its mineral composition includes an immense wealth in crystal formations, sturdy ores, and the rare element of triboreum, all of which drive their society.

Life exists beneath its surface of Regdika. Forayans are surrounded by worms, centipedes, and lesser insects of various shapes and sizes throughout their tunnels, some of which pose a threat to their population. These creatures and most of Regdika’s flora thrive off of plentiful underwater springs. Numerous forms of fungi and deep-rooted plants also benefit from the heavy ultraviolet rays that radiate down from open paths to the surface.

Forayan presence on Regdika is not always obvious on the surface, as very few settlements are built outside of their heavily populated tunnels and expansive cavernous cities. What surface cities they have built are enclosed within domes providing a hospitable atmosphere, usually on top of a frequented entrance to the network below. Visitors of other species generally remain in these domes, and are often watched closely if they descend into the tunnels.

Thred'nakkan Rockwrestler

**Thred'nakkan Rockwrestlers** are a type of creature native to the desert world of Thred'nakka. Extremely rare, stealthy and undocumented as of 2182, not much is known about the animals.

## Description

### Appearance

Rockwrestlers are squat, barely rising more than half a meter off the ground on average. They have an odd, triangular shape, with two long and round legs that bowing out from the actual foot to a joint before bowing back in towards the body, complemented by a third, wider and more powerful leg that bows out almost twice the length of the front two.

The creatures are wide, stretching just a hair over a meter on each of their sides on average. Their "shells" look to be made of an even thicker hide than the legs and are rock-like in appearance, with ridges and crevasses that were equally geological. The rest of their body sink in just a centimeter on average from this “shell”, giving their undersides, aside from the legs, a bit of an overhang of protection.

Two large eyes sit almost a meter apart on the creature’s extremely narrow face, with four “nostrils” splitting the difference between them.

Small, hair-like protrusions dangle from the creature’s underside.
Treyarmus

**Location:** Milky Way / Hades Gamma / Cacus System

**Treyarmus** is a hydrogen-helium gas giant with a strong magnetic field, making it a popular discharge point for freighters working on the Anansi-Ishtar shipping route.

It is popular enough, in fact, that quarian ships can often be found loitering in orbit, selling the freighter crews cheap refreshments, salvage, and odd craftworks assembled by their children.
Solcrum

**Location:** Milky Way / Armstrong Nebula / Grissom System / Notanban

**Solcrum** is the largest moon of the gas giant Notanban. It has a trace atmosphere of krypton and xenon. The crust is composed of various metals with deposits of sodium. As with every body in the solar system, the surface is scorching hot and thoroughly irradiated by the blue giant Grissom.
Tenjin Installation

The **Tenjin Installation** is a hidden research base on the planet Varmalus owned and operated by human biotics research corporation Blue Field Innovations.

## Description

Here, hidden in the subterranean depths of Varmalus’ extensive cavern systems, is the main facility where Blue Field Innovations operates. It functions as a laboratory on the main floor, with living quarters for the scientists, security, and its voluntary human test subjects on separate levels below. The official purpose of the Tenjin Installation is to research biotic abilities, but unofficially, the head of BFI, Carolyn Kang, intends on going a step further by testing on alien prisoners rather than just humans - with particular interest in the asari, who are kept prisoner in a restricted section on the bottommost level. Carolyn’s ruthless, domineering management has put the facility’s scientific intentions on the backburner, making her freakish, unethical experiments the main priority.

The Installation is guarded under Hydra’s ceaseless, scorching gaze, blasting the planet’s barren, rocky surface with intense heat. Unless one knew where to look, there would be no indication of Tenjin’s existence hidden at the bottom of one of Varmalus’ many indistinguishable chasms, and while there are no defensive measures on the surface itself, surveillance systems are hidden in orbit around the planet and near the opening of the chasm to alert security to potential intruders. In the case of an outside attack or a prisoner’s unlikely escape, a powerful, near-impenetrable shield will be activated to effectively lock down the building - allowing nothing in, and nothing out.
Regeris

Credit to the Spectre Expansion Mod

**Location:** Milky Way / Meade Cluster / Mactare System

**Regeris** was colonized by the Taetrian city of the same name following their failure to secure the rights to mine Palex. This planetoid in the Arca Belt is rich in aluminum, titanium and element zero, and the rare materials were rich enough to turn the backwater into a sprawling metropolis.

## Trivia

* Regeris was created and added by the Spectre Expansion Mod for Mass Effect 3, which can be found at this link.
Michael Moser Lang

A former patent clerk born in the UNAS, **Michael Moser Lang** is most famous for his murder of two presidents on February 5th, 2176 when he killed his own president, Enrique Aguilar, and the Premier of the Chinese People's Federation Ying Xiong.

## Biography

At some point in his life, Michael became heavily involved in far-right xenophobic political dissidence on the extranet. Coming into contact with a fence for the pro-human organization known as Cerberus, Moser Lang was able to secure funding.

Deciding after a failed protest that his message wasn't getting across without some sort of large platform to gain notoriety, Michael first considered something as drastic as parcel bombs or anonymous bomb threats. Fueling this fire, his Cerberus contact seeded the suggestion of weaponry.

Using falsified clearance as a video cameraman for the Alliance News Network, Moser Lang snuck an M-12 Locust into the event and killed both of the politicians, firing through Xiong and into Aguilar.

In the ensuing chaos, Moser Lang was instantly dropped to the floor by the rush of bystanders and security. Tried, convicted and imprisoned, he has been sentenced to life for his actions.
Sha'ira T'Yeo

**Sha'ira T'Yeo** (known to many as the **Consort**) is a well-known and influential asari who work in the Consort's Chamber of the Citadel.

## Biography

Sha'ira has many famous and powerful clients that see her for a variety of reasons: each person's needs are unique (varying between words through poetry or song, touch or even engage in intimate romance), yet Sha'ira manages to accommodate them. She offers personal services as well as entertainment and conversation, but is well known for the value of advice, and as a result her fame has caused people in the Embassy to discuss her.

In person Sha'ira is a gentle, discreet, but sensual asari who values her reputation and the happiness of others, and remains a powerful and highly respected figure on the Citadel. She's so popular that getting an appointment to see her would take months and the costs of visiting the Consort's Chamber is worth half a year, though there are some circumstances where she would accept a client without requiring an appointment nor pay for the visit, however it rarely happens and is more of a favor. In the event Sha'ira is not available other acolytes (consisting of mostly asari, though any other species such as humans can also become acolytes) can tend to the client's needs.

Unfortunately Sha'ira also has to deal with controversy mostly from former clients who have a tendency to spread false rumors in an effort to damage her reputation which could range from scandals to intelligence leaks, though in spite of their efforts it has only resulted in the Consort become more popular while the perpetrators end up being humiliated in the end.

Turian First Contact

First Contact with the Turian species was as planned as first contacts come, though the circumstances leading up to it were anything but desired. A volus merchant fleet protected by a small escort of salarian and asari vessels emerged from the Bifurca Relay much to the surprise of the turian traffic controllers on the other side. After minutes of panic and diligent work by translation teams on both sides, communication was established between the under-fire galactic community and their newfound hope.
Seiche Rise

**Seiche Rise** is a mountain on the barren moon of Petrified Waves that houses the estate of reclusive drell billionaire Tybis Ikratt.

## Description

Seiche Rise is the highest point of Petrified Waves, a barren moon orbiting the infamous hanar-named gas giant Preying Mouth. The topography of Petrified Waves is particularly rough and jagged; Seiche Rise sits like a massive spike, craggy and narrow, reaching up to the heights of the moon's negligible atmosphere. Geologically, it is rather unremarkable aside from the tunnels twisting through the Rise and mountains below, but is nonetheless famous for being the place where a reclusive drell billionaire built his home. Ikratt estate, built into the Rise's side, takes advantage of the mountain's natural formations and extends outward to look down on the hellish grey and brown landscape below, with several levels buried in the rock face itself as well.

Markus Cromwell

**Markus Cromwell**, known to friends and companions as **Riot**, is a former Aitian Knight of House Vitacus and protégé of Flarius Octanis. Injured in a bombing attack, he was submitted to experimental cybernetic enhancements by his house, receiving prosthetic arms from Tellarus Cybernetics, making him a Cyborg.

## Personality

Riot is strikingly warm and friendly to almost everyone he meets, though it’s rare he comes across someone he doesn’t think is worthy of his friendship. As a former serf though he has a problem with authority, or rather people who take too well to the authority they are given, seeing them as tyrants waiting to happen even if that’s an unfair judgement. He’s hesitant to open up about his own background however and will become cagey and nervous when the issue is pressed. If presented with something that reminds him too much of past events, he may slip into a depression and reveal his slightly more bitter and cynical side that he mostly keeps hidden. At his core, Riot is an optimist not by nature but by deliberate choice.

## Physical Description

Riot is short and bulky, which often causes bigger foes to under-estimate what he’s capable of. He has a full cheerful looking face, short messy hair and a short beard. While he may not appear to be as fit as others, his stocky build hides enough muscle to easily carry the heavy prosthetics that replace his arms and shoulders. His arms are mismatched, one is slimmer and deploys a baton while the other is more bulky and can convert into a ballistic shield. While on the job, his outfit consists of a tactical vest and exoskeleton enhanced lower body armour to better help his body support his cybernetics. In more casual settings he wears a lighter exoframe over jeans to achieve the same effect, albeit less intense. He also wears a variety of sleeveless shirts and hoodies depending on the setting to accommodate his prosthetics.

## Armament

### Combat Arms

Markus utilizes an M-6 Carnifex heavy pistol in combat that is equipped with a Concussive Shot launcher. His armor is installed with the combat abilities Fortification and Adrenaline Rush.

### Cybernetics

A cyborg, both of Riot's arms have been replaced with cybernetics that give him unique abilities. The MTRP:UBV,HV are the arms, and are equipped with the weapon module with the even longer acronym: MTRP:UBV,HVRCC. These allow his left arm to deploy a personal ballistic shield and his right to deploy a strong baton.
Tolis Nore

**Tolis Nore** was, at points in his career, a high-ranking officer within the Turian Hierarchy, a countercultural activist within the Vengeful Spirits cult, and a mercenary commander within that same organization. He usurped leadership of the Spirits from their former leader, Lorol Taninian, after murdering him during the siege of Estivus Erax.
Thaerican

**Thaerican** is a large city on the frontier of the Hierarchy world known as Invictus.

## Description

Founded on one of Invictus’ largest iridium deposits, Thaerican was known as a prosperous, but remote and hazardous settlement in its early years, holding great opportunities for those who dared to venture this close to the hostile equator. With a steady influx of ambitious miners and businesspeople, the city quickly grew to be the largest settlement outside of the planet’s polar circles.

Following its rapid economic growth, Thaerican’s proximity to the equator also attracted the attention of cheap spacelines. The city’s soon constructed port was used as a hub for incoming space traffic, which then directed its passengers across the planet through cheaper means of transport. Only more expensive lines directly visited the poles at first, although advances in engine technology gradually removed the cost increase connected to polar launches and Thaerican’s massive spaceport soon lost its main customers. To this day, the city is still regarded as an essential port for private spacecraft owners and smaller spacelines, but its primary port has long fallen into disuse and has been turned into a massive slum, inhabited by many of Thaerican’s poorest residents.

Since then, Thaerican’s favorable location near the equator, and Invictus’ proximity to the Terminus Systems, have given rise to a whole new industry, bringing a multitude of opportunities and problems with it. The city has become a hub for all kinds of criminals from the nearby lawless regions, even more so than many other areas on Invictus. Currently, the city’s illegal residents, comprised of nearly all sapient species of the galaxy, vastly outnumber the registered population, which has earned Thaerican a reputation as being the capital of crime not only of its home planet, but the entire Minos Wasteland.

Roughly 22.5 Million of the estimated 24.7 Million residents are confined to the city’s slums and lawless outskirts, many of them working in the iridium extraction industry, with only the wealthy part of the population enjoying a much higher standard of living in the city center.

Thaerican’s climate isn’t a particular advantage either, as the temperatures frequently exceed 40 °C during the day and rain is scarce. A lot more frequent are the hazardous sandstorms that ravage the city on average once every several days.
Totau System

**Location:** Milky Way / Serpent Nebula

The **Totau System** is a stellar system that houses the former homeworld of the Rakfeeli, an ancient spacefaring race. It now remains sparsely populated by mainly-salarian research teams.

## History

The home system of the rakfeeli people hundreds of thousands of years ago, the system played an important role in the Prothean-Reaper war. It was here the protheans discovered the plans for the Crucible and began work on the reaper's demise. In this cycle the system remains quiet, small science teams working to uncover whatever fragments of history they can from this desolate, historical corner of the galaxy.

## Planets

* Totau I
* Totau II
* Totau III
* Totau IV (Ifor)
* Totau V

## Stations

* **Research Station Totau IV**
	+ A small outpost that serves as both a research post and home away from home for the scientists, it is affectionately referred to as icewatch by most of the population.
* **Celestial Monitor Totau IV**
	+ Two important roles are bundled together on this station, security and refueling. The monitoring portion ensures that no tomb raiders attempt to rob the already scantily-filled ruins while the fueling post guarantees every vessel passing through is logged by the Union itself.
The Sharanshada

**The Sharanshada** is a small asari secret society available exclusively to some of the greatest living warriors the species has to offer.

## Description

The Sharanshada, roughly meaning “Club of Cloaks”, is a secret society comprised of some of the greatest warriors the asari have to offer. In its time, it has housed eleven separate members, with mercenaries, commandos, armali, justicars, and SPECTREs being among their number. In contrast to the warlike backgrounds of the club’s members, the club’s purpose is completely pacifist: it provides a spot for these warrior women to find entertainment, away from the view of the public eye. Whatever that entertainment may is, be it drinking, games, or something of a more carnal nature, a source for it can be found in the lavish penthouse. It also acts a source of help should any one of it’s members fall upon trouble: every asari there is ready and waiting to assist her sisters, whatever the cost may be.

The club is funded by a sort of “open purse” shared among its members, none of whom are exactly lacking credits. The penthouse it is hosted within belongs to its most senior member, Kasana Demirisa, a former SPECTRE and notorious socialite. It is serviced by a five-star, all-asari staff, completely loyal to Kasana. To this day, the full list of members is unknown, and what goes on in the building can only be rumored.
Russia

The **Russian Federation**, more commonly known as **Russia**, is a large nation on Earth spanning the northern segments of the Asian continent and the far east of the European continent. It is one of the oldest nations remaining as of 2182, with a constitution dating back to the 21st century.
Submission Net

**Submission Net** is an omni-tool application utilized for hunting prey. When activated, a thin, electrified net is minifactured out of omni-gel and launched at the target, capturing them and compressing them while giving out a mild to severe shock. The severe nature of this weapon has led to the Citadel Council declaring use of the application illegal.

## History

Originally developed by asari hunters on Thessia, batarian slavers quickly discovered the application's true potential when they made contact with the Council. As time progressed, the weapon has gotten more and more efficient and deadly, with additions such as electrified tendrils and self-tightening line being added later on.
SSV William Clark

The ***SSV William Clark*** was a survey corvette of the Drake-class utilized by the Systems Alliance. Stationed at the Citadel with the rest of the Systems Alliance Eighth Fleet, the *William Clark* was declared missing in action on the 19th of August, 2176, just before the Skyllian Blitz. It was named for the American explorer William Clark.

## History

Built alongside many of its class at Arcturus Station in the early 2160s, the *Clark* was immediately stationed at the Citadel as part of human exploratory missions within Inner Council Space.

As tensions with the Hegemony of Khar'shan rose in the mid-2170s however, the Clarke was consistently deployed into the Skyllian Verge to support operations within the volatile region of space. On the 16th of August, 2176, the vessel was intercepted by a batarian frigate and disabled. The entire crew was captured by a boarding party and imprisoned illegally on the penal colony of Vragha. The ship was taken to Khar'shan where it was dissected, researched, and scrapped.

## Crew

* Jedediah Brafe (Unknown - 2176)
* Maisy Berke (Unknown - 2176)
Temperance Cornerclub

The **Temperance Cornerclub** is a bar and restaurant in the Fumi District of Omega, owned by the volus crime lord Ogun Tarka.

## Description

The Temperance Cornerclub is a lavishly-appointed bar and restaurant owned by Ogun Tarka, and also the primary base of operations of the Kwunara-Kali. Aside from fine dining and drink, patrons can also enjoy various activities in the downstairs game rooms, including billiards and darts. Upstairs, patrons can hire private dining rooms, each fitted with their own bar, providing guests with a selection of swanky drinks from all corners of the galaxy.

Temperance has long held a reputation on Omega as a place of refuge from the chaos of day-to-day life on the turbulent station. People of all species flock to the club to enjoy a rare moment of peace and a quiet drink, and any business conducted within is - for the most part - civil.

Ogun’s secret for maintaining such a venue on Omega? Carefully selected, well-trained, and very well-paid guards stationed throughout the space. They stand and keep watch over the club like sentinels, ready to handle any problems with the utmost of professionalism.
