Thanks for the reviews. This will start out sort of sporadic through the time line. Starting with Shanxi and working my up to the beginnings of Mass Effect story. Obvious changes are obvious. Humanity is no longer working on their own. Their technology will also be different for obvious reasons.

I will, from time to time, make a request of the reviewers. Namely on what skills sets (will post a bio sheet) for Shepard or something or another. And reviewers will make a cameo appearance for whoever writes the best reviews or simply choose one at random. Their name will represent who they are in the story. So don't be shocked if you find your name inside.(This excludes peoples whose names are 34H$sm(*& or something similar)

First Contact War/ Relay 314 Massacre

For the System Alliance species, the First Contact War was not a eye opener, but a omen of things to come.

For the Citadel Council, it would be the first time in centuries that a conflict arose, where their superior ships and weapons were not only out classed, but utterly left in the dust with the opponent no where in sight.

For humanity, it be the first time in centuries that armed conflict arose and that they rose to meet the challenge ahead.

One would think that for a government, that had virtually no conflict whatsoever, will be more complacent and easy going race to push around. They never met humans however.

Throughout the ages, humans continue to improve, adapt, and improvised weapons, ships, and even their very bodies for war. A simple saying that passed through the ages made them this way.

'Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it'

Plus, war was in their blood...

Whether they wanted it or not.

Shanxi was attacked by the Turian Hierarchy attack group. They were sent mostly to eradicate pirates, but mission changed to subdue and assimilate them and make them a 'client' race. From what the Turians told the Council, that the were simply there to enforce the law.

A law that the System Alliance had no knowledge of or could even know.

The first attack was by a Turian Patrol group, led by a Captain Dexus Forlana. Who spotted an unknown ship using a previously dormant relay. Believing the ship to be that of pirates, the ship was destroyed immediately. Though Dexus took note of the stronger than normal shields, and what he led to believe to be some sort of prototype ship. He couldn't be more wrong.

The ship's name was Fluttershy's Kindness. It was a medical ship, transporting a large amount medical gear for Shanxi.

It had no weapons onboard or installed. All hands were lost.

Reporting his discover, Dexus was told by the Hierarchy to stand by for a attack group to regroup with them. Over 50 ships arrived, a majority of them were cruisers with ground forces on standby.

With all ships prepped and ready, they commence the attack. All believing that they were there for pirates.

Shanxi was completely unprepared for the attack. A measly 9 ships for defense, where the normal statuswas well over 80. This was due to the fact that the closes shipyard had a malfunction in the assembly line, which caused the entire shipyard to shut down and be refitted and fixed.

So when over 50 ships appeared on radar, that did not belong to the System Alliance, they were somewhat confused on what to do. The lead ship, the cruiser Dakota, decided to head out and meet for the strange ships. Dakota sent out a first contact package while bringing up shields.

The response they received was dozen MA slugs to the face.

The Dakota manage to fire several rounds of high energy plasma slugs before she was destroyed, actually destroying 5 ships before her death. Her powerful shields were equal to that of a dreadnought, keeping her crew alive long enough for them to reach the transporters and escape.

The rest of ships dove into battle, 8 ships versus 45. It was one sided, but the 8 ships gave it their all. In total, they destroyed 18 ships before falling.

The Turian attack group found themselves surprised and shocked by the loss. They were even more shocked to find that it was not pirates that they attacked, but a new group of species. When they informed the higher up, they were told to proceed as planned. The new technology would be beneficial for their race. They were also told to subdue and restrain the population of the planet so they can become a client races.

The turians proceed as ordered, even if they didn't want to.

Due to their win, despite the loss of several ships, the attack group sent waves of soldiers, tanks, and air support. All believing that they had the upper hand.

What they did not count on the ferocity of single species called humans would bring to them.

"What are we to Council. Upstarts, thats what. Even though we explored our section of space for over 5 centuries, we are the 'newbies'. So we need to hold their hands, all they while they try to take what belongs to us. Our tech, our ships, our people, our magic. They want it all for themselves. Well, that didn't work out so well, did it.

Celestia be praised, along with Commander General of course, they both saw what the council wanted and politely declined their offer to join. Commander General is good at spotting liars, cheats, and swindlers...heh...he should. He was around when humanity first appeared on Equestria, someone that old and lived through the end of world on Old Earth should know a thing or 2 about the dark side of people."

Codex: Humans

Humans are a bipedal species of the System Alliance, they are the only bipedal species of the group.

Humans represent the backbone of the SA military, representing 80% of its military while the rest falling towards the griffons, dragons, and ponies.

Smart and innovated, humans are also the backbone of every jump in technology that SA had gone through. They are also curious of the galaxy around and love to learn of things around them.

This offset by the fact that they can be as bloodthirsty as krogan when sufficiently angered. And fight like them too.

Appearing from the Galloping Sea nearly a millennium ago, humans made their arrival to Equestria to escape their world's death.

By their own hands.

A war of spread across their world, destroying and killings billions. They escape to the sea, and even then, they were in danger of dying. A experiment was conducted and executed. They soon found themselves in Equestria and were saved.

It took time for them to get use to idea of a no conflict planet. But they were welcomed with open arms and invite into the homes of their saviors. It was then that they decided to be their guardians. While conflict was virtually unknown, humans will continue to train for war and conflict.

Queen Celestia tried to assure them that it wasn't necessary for them to do so. Commander General words of wisdom were stated

'While there may be no conflict 'now' who is to say there won't be one in the future. I don't want us to be caught with our pants down. No...if we need to protect you, we will, but I want my men to be ready for anything. I'm sorry Celestia, we made a vow, and we are going to uphold it. We will pay you back for your kindness. You won't regret it.'

Since that day, humanity had train itself to be protectors. Taking the lessons of the ponies and mixing it with human ideals.

To protect the SA so something like Old Earth will never happen.
