Citadel Gaming: Mass Effect, Half Life 2 Crossover (Timeline)

Welcome, one and all, to a new generation of roleplay genre. With Citadel Gaming, we aim to combine two major timelines of famous franchises and birth a new schema for Kurozael's critically acclaimed Half Life Two Roleplay gamemode for Garry's Mod. So, to do this, we have created, tweaked, and added on to the original Mass Effect timeline to make this possible. Please enjoy!

Pre-Council Era

BCE is Before Common Era, CE is Common Era


Pre-Council - 298,000 BCE to 500 BCE

298,000 BCE
The ancient arthenn race flourished in the Zelene system. They lived on the planet Helyme until being destroyed in an unknown event that wiped out all complex life on the planet. They also maintained a presence on Epho, another planet in the system, which bears the scars of an ancient orbital bombardment, and on Gaelon, which may have been mined for helium-3.

127,000 BCE
Ancient spacefaring races called the thoi'han and inusannon fought over the planet Eingana. The war caused mass extinctions of native species on the planet.

48,000 BCE
The Protheans, a galaxy-wide civilization linked by the mass relay network, mysteriously vanish, leaving only ruins and artifacts behind. Archaeologists will later believe that they were destroyed in a cataclysm.

1900 BCE
Tuchanka, the krogan homeworld, enters the nuclear age. In a global conflict, weapons of mass destruction are released, triggering a nuclear winter. In the resulting devastation, krogan society devolves into a collection of warring clans.

1800 BCE
A supernova propels one of the mass relays out of its position. The dense nebula formed by the supernova means the relay's position is effectively lost. (The Mu-Relay in ME1)

580 BCE
After developing faster-than-light spacefaring capabilities based upon Prothean technology, the asari begin to explore the mass relay network, and eventually discover the huge Citadel space station at a hub of many mass relays.

520 BCE
The salarians discover the Citadel and open diplomatic relations with the asari.

First Council Period

1st Council Period - 500 BCE to 700 CE

500 BCE
The Citadel Council is formed. The asari and salarians together colonize the Citadel and establish it as a center of the galactic community, led by the Council. This year is also known as 0 GS, the beginning of the Galactic Standard (GS) timeline.
As a gesture of openness with their new asari allies, the Salarian Union opens the records of the League of One. Under threat, the League responds by assassinating the whole inner cabinet of the Union; STG operatives then wipe out the League.
The turian Unification War begins.
First contact is made with the volus although at first they are not permitted a permanent embassy on the Citadel. With their participation, a single galactic currency - the credit - is eventually established, linking all galactic economies.

200 BCE
The Council agrees to grant the volus the honour of being the first species with an embassy at the Citadel, but not a Council seat.

200 BCE - 1 CE
The batarians post an embassy, a century or more after first contact.
The asari stumble into the elcor system, and help them to locate and activate their nearest mass relay. "Within one elcor lifetime" they establish a regular trade route to the Citadel and soon post an embassy.
First contact is made with the hanar and the quarians. The quarians post an embassy.

1 CE - The Rachni Wars
The Citadel Council first encounters the rachni, a species of highly intelligent hive-minded insects. They are discovered when an expedition opens a dormant mass relay to their star systems. The rachni prove to be hostile and begin a war with the rest of the galaxy. The Council cannot negotiate because they cannot contact the rachni queens that live underground on the toxic rachni home worlds.

80 CE
The Rachni Wars continue. The salarians transplant the primitive krogan to another world and manipulate them into acting as soldiers for the Citadel Council. The krogan are able to survive the harsh environments of the rachni worlds, and begin a strategy of eradicating queens and eggs.

300 CE
The rachni are declared extinct. In gratitude for their aid during the Rachni Wars, the Council grants the krogan a new homeworld. Free of the harsh environment of Tuchanka, the krogan population explodes.

300-700 CE
The krogan begin to expand exponentially, colonizing many new worlds. Growing concerns about their expansion lead to the founding of the Special Tactics and Reconnaissance branch of the Citadel.

385 CE
A colony is founded on Talis Fia.

First Intermediate Period: Krogan Rebellions

1st Intermediate Period - Krogan Rebellions 700 CE to 900 CE

700 CE : The Krogan Rebellions
Krogan warlords leverage veterans of the Rachni Wars to annex territory from others in Citadel space. Eventually the Council demands withdrawal from the asari colony of Lusia, but the krogan refuse. A pre-emptive strike is made on krogan infrastructures by the Council, using the newly-created Spectres. The Krogan Rebellions begin.
First contact is made with the turians. In response to krogan threats, they declare war. After the krogan devastate turian colonies with weapons of mass destruction, the turians respond with a salarian-engineered bioweapon, known as the genophage. The krogan population starts its decline.
The turians accept the volus as a client race within the Hierarchy.

800 CE
The Krogan Rebellions end, though scattered krogan insurgent actions continue for decades. The turians begin to fill the military and peacekeeping niche left by the decimated krogan.
The Citadel Conventions are eventually drawn up, in the wake of the conflict.

Second Council Period: Geth War

2nd Council Period - Geth War 900 CE - 2100 CE

900 CE
The turians are granted a place on the Citadel Council, and their fleet acts as a galactic peacekeeping force.
This marks the start of a 1,200 year period during which Citadel space rapidly expands and new species are introduced to the Citadel. The three Council species - asari, salarians, and turians - successfully govern over an era remembered for its inventiveness, peace, and prosperity.

1600 CE
First sightings are made of the Collectors, from the Omega-4 mass relay in the Terminus Systems. Little is known about this enigmatic race, and most Council races dismiss stories of them as urban legends.

1874 CE
While surveying the Ondeste system, a probe discovers that the planet Maisuth lacks significant deposits of resources.

1895 CE : The Geth War
The quarians create the geth, intended to be a source of cheap labour. The quarians notice geth showing signs of self awareness, and plan to destroy them before they become a menace. The geth rebel against their quarian masters and, in the resulting war, reduce the quarians to a species of space faring nomads aboard the Migrant Fleet. Contrary to expectations, the geth do not venture outside the former quarian star systems, instead isolating themselves from the rest of the galaxy behind the Perseus Veil. In punishment for their actions, the Citadel Council closes the quarian embassy on the Citadel.
The quarian colony Charoum is occupied by the geth.

1896 CE
The quarian colony Haestrom is occupied by the geth.

The First Contact War
Humanity makes first contact with another space-faring culture: the turians. Unfortunately, the encounter is far from peaceful. The turians find the human fleet attempting to activate a mass relay, something forbidden in galactic law after the Rachni Wars, and attack. Over the next several months, a brief but tense conflict known on Earth as the First Contact War ensues. David Anderson, newly graduated from the Alliance's elite N7 programme, serves with distinction alongside Jill Dah. Saren's brother is one of the turian casualties. Finally General Williams is forced to surrender the garrison at Shanxi to the turians.
Admiral Kastanie Drescher leads the Second Fleet against Shanxi, catching the turians by surprise and evicting them from the planet.

The colonization of Chasca begins.
The city of Urdnot becomes the capital of the krogan homeworld Tuchanka.
The events of Mass Effect occur. Saren Arterius's attack on Eden Prime is revealed to be part of a larger plan orchestrated by Sovereign, a Reaper seeking to return the rest of its brethren to the galaxy. After suffering a vision from a Prothean Beacon, Commander Shepard and the crew of the SSV Normandy track Saren, uncover the truth behind the Conduit, and defeat Saren and his geth army aboard the Citadel. Sovereign, however, is destroyed by an unseen enemy. High levels of dark energy waves were detected shortly before the flagship was discovered in runs, pieces of it showering down on the Wards. The Citadel Council is saved by Commander Shepard and the Alliance fleets.
The events of Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station occur.

Turians and the Migrant Fleet stand hand-in-hand, coordinating their efforts across the galactic battlefields.

Thessia is layed to waste by a full force Reaper invasion, activity violently exploding across nearly the entire planet. Asari Councilor reveals prothean beacon in the Temple of Athame, said to contain information about the 'Catalyst' needed as the final piece of the Crucible.

Commander Shepard intercepts an asari squad on the surface of Thessia, and reaches the Temple, only to be cut off by Cerberus operative Kai Leng, who steals the Prothean V.I, and with it, the information of the Catalyst.

The Combine Cometh: Dawn of the Universal Union

Combine Cometh - Dawn of the Universal Union - 2185 CE

2185
In an unknown event, dark energy fields surge within the Sword battle fleets. Readings are akin to those spotted during the battle and mysterious death of Sovereign.

Three warships of immense size emerge from Dark Energy warp portals, and begin to deploy an endless streaming horde of ships, their numbers touching down on the ground and deploying to other planets.

Hailing messages are transmitted to the warships. Long wave operators identify themselves as the 'Universal Union'.

Hammer ground forces are bolstered by a limitless supply of Elite units, highly advanced, and wholly expendable. The front line is pushed miles forward, half of London is liberated.

Sword fleets regroup and attack once again, with the warships and fighters of the Universal Union at their backs.

Private First Class Gregory Hoth becomes famous for writing the poem 'The Combine Cometh', the title supposedly branching from the UU's ability to combine the forces of the galaxy once again.

The Crucible fails to fire on time. The Universal Union's ability to supply endless troops is dwarfed as support ships, thousands of Reapers, drop out of FTL, laying on the heat.

The Union's offensive line begins to buckle. Elite units are withdrawn as Earth begins to fall again.

The Crucible detonates.

Over the course of seventeen, seemingly short minutes, the electrostatic wave produced from the Crucible rides along the Mass Relay system, bubbling outward from each jump and killing every single Reaper left in the galaxy.

Commander Shepard is confirmed K.I.A.

Universal Union provides to the support efforts, rebuilding colonies and allowing transport due to the crippling damage to the Relay system.

Remaining Reaper forces, Husks, and others, are slowly hunted by armies of synthetic units in skirmishes that shortly after became known as the 'Extermination Period.'

Resources are diverted to the reconstruction of the species' homeworlds, and, specifically, the Citadel.


2186

The Universal Union has assimilated into nearly every single economy, having been the single point in which every species rebuilt.

Citadel reconstruction is complete, though minor repairs are estimated to continue for nearly thirty years.

Overwatch Elites and Synthetic units fill the void ranks of armies damaged during the Reaper War.

UU investigates possibility of the use of biotic abilities.

Universal Union begins to garrison, repairing their forces.

First UU Council Member is formally inaugurated, uniting the race with the galaxy.

The Universal Union, now adopting the constantly-used nickname of 'Combine', open their cultural files. This allows the other races of the galaxy to learn very minor tidbits of information concerning their technology.

The beta technological blueprints discovered upon the opening of the Combine files is adopted first by the turians, who use the dark energy power cells to bolster their FTL cores. These serve as a more compact alternative as the Relays are still being repaired.


2187

The Commander Shepard memorial is completed and erected in the Presidium, a permanent tribute to the soldier who made sure the galaxy had survived.

The Combine memorial is completed shortly after, created in honor of the species that assured they made it through the final moments.

Biotics are successfully reverse engineered and mass produced to Overwatch Elites, tripling their combat potential.

Tuchanka is rebuilt, the krogan race once again flourishes in a massive cultural rennaisance.

Combine forces are returned to full fighting strength. All units in galactic space are ripcorded back to the UU homeworld.

Galactic civilization is in uproar about the pulling-out of Combine forces. Universal Union assures the galaxy that they no longer need their support.

A rogue band of biotic extremists attacks a Combine vessel, managing to minorly cripple the ship and send off a message before being destroyed. The extremists claim that their mission was passed down directly by Thessian High Command, a staged assault on the UU to claim that their kind was not worthy of the great powers of biotics.

Thessian High Command denies all responsibility for the terrorist attack by the extremists.

Turian Hierarchy representative Julik Vanthos, supported by information gathered by former STG operatives, confirms that High Command did infact pass down orders for the attack.

Seven days later, Representative Vanthos is assassinated in his office by use of biotics.

This information, coupled with the assassination and the stubborness of Thessian High Command, builds up into a massive political blowback with them and the Turian Hierarchy.

An attempted asari blockade of a recovering turian colony is met by aggressive defense. Considered a horrible act of treason, the asari councilor is discharged and the asari embassy on the Citadel, closed.

War is declared between the turian and asari races.
