Mass Effect: Paragon Lost

Mass Effect: Arrival is an untold chapter in the Mass Effect saga, focusing on the early career of Alliance Marine James Vega. The story follows Vega as he leads a squad of elite special forces into battle against a mysterious alien threat known as The Collectors. The action takes place at a colony in a remote star system, where Vega and his troops are tasked with protecting the inhabitants from an invasion by the deadly insectoid warriors, who are determined to collect the population for unknown purposes. Soon after the attack, Vega's commanding officer falls in battle, forcing the young officer to take on the responsibility of leadership for the colony's survival. Having idolized Earth's greatest hero and warrior, Commander Shepard—the central character in the Mass Effect video games—the young and idealistic Vega must now make life-and-death decisions that will affect not only the lives of his squad, but also the lives of every person in the colony, all of whom he has sworn to protect.
