Ascension Project

The Ascension Project is a renewed human biotics program, focusing on the children of the victims of three 'accidents' across the Systems Alliance, on four separate colonies, including Yandoa Colony. Although the industrial accidents were in supicious circumstances, no link betweeen them was ever found. The accidents took place thirteen years prior to Mass Effect: Ascension.

This program, unlike its predessessors uses L4 implants - biotic amplifiers with inbuilt VI interfaces to allow for the monitoring of implants.The Project is based at Grissom Academy, a medium-sized space station in orbit around the human colony of Elysium in the Skyllian Verge. The project is a joint venture between Civillians and the Alliance Military.

At sometime in its history, the project was infiltrated by Cerberus operatives, intending to gain information and research into human biotics in order to 'save' humanity. Just two of these operatives are, researcher, Dr. Jiro Toshiwa and the father of autistic student, Gillian, Paul Grayson.

Known students of the Ascension Project are Gillian Grayson, Nick and Seshaun. Known members of staff are Dr. Kahlee Sanders, Security Chief Hendel Mitra and Dr. Jiro Toshiwa.
