In Mass Effect, a routine mission to a remote colony pulls Commander Shepard and the crew of the SSV Normandy into a galaxy-spanning threat. Traveling from the Citadel to dangerous frontier worlds, you uncover ancient clues, choose who to trust, and shape alliances and squad bonds that influence the wider war’s outcome.
