Squad

A squad is the group of team members which Commander Shepard can select to send on field mission or visiting one of the main civilized centers (station or planet).

A squad is typically made of 3 members: Shepard and 2 team members (therefore also named squadmates). Though, for some specific missions (like loyalty missions), a specific team member is required. Also, the squad can, for some missions, be reduced to 2 members or even to Shepard alone.

When selecting a squad, Shepard can review, for selected team members, how squad points have been distributed among the different abilities (Mass Effect) or powers (Mass Effect 2).
