Mass Effect Beginnings

One year has passed since the end of the First Contact War.

As the Citadel commemorates the anniversary of the conflict that forever changed the galaxy, the fragile peace between humanity and the turians is already beginning to crack.

On the fringes of Citadel space, a radical human group led by Jack Harper captures a turian hostage in a desperate search for the secrets hidden aboard a crashed turian vessel. Their actions mark the birth of an organization that will one day be known across the galaxy as Cerberus.

Far from the political spotlight, human colonies are under siege by ruthless bands of renegade batarians, leaving innocent civilians caught in a conflict few seem willing to acknowledge.

Meanwhile, mysterious signals echo from the darkest reaches of space, stirring fear among the oldest members of the Citadel Council. Memories of ancient wars resurface as whispers spread throughout the galaxy. Are the long-extinct Rachni returning... or has an even greater threat awakened?

As if that were not enough, buried secrets from both humanity and the turian hierarchy begin to surface-truths capable of destroying the hard-won peace forged after the First Contact War. If exposed, they could ignite another interstellar conflict before the wounds of the last have healed.

To uncover the truth, the Citadel forms a multinational task force composed of soldiers, scientists, diplomats, and specialists from across known space..

But in a galaxy built on lies, every answer comes with a price... and some secrets were never meant to be found.
