Just throwing this idea out there. The game begins, 20 Years After ME3, you are the kid that Shepard thought dead and kept having dreams of, you somehow survived the Reaper attack. You now are a smuggler on a ship that gets attacked out near the edge of known space by strange ships. You and your batarian friend. You are taken aboard the massive ship as slaves and are forced to work in the slums in the underbelly of the ship. The aliens on the ship seem strange, however you and your ally learn to communicate with the slave species and the ruling species. It is revealed that it was the ruling species that turned the Catalyst against it's creators and has been Reaping the rewards of being the strongest Galaxy as our Galaxy was constantly being purged by the Reapers. With the Reapers gone, they have come to investigate. Your character manages to overtake a small recon vessel and fly it to Citadel space. A lot has changed in 20 years, the Quarians and Geth have made peace and now have their own government together, krogans and batarians have embassies on the Citadel, with Quarians becoming the fifth Council Race. James Vega is Admiral of the Alliance Fleet, Garrus sits on the Council along side Tali. The Krogan reverse of the genophage is revealed to have worked but not to full success, causing Krogan birth to be slightly faster than Humans. The council wants to reverse engineer the ship, and while they do you are assigned to train under the Head Specter Kaiden/Ashley, who convinces the council to give you Specter status.

The premise of the second trilogy would be galaxy on galaxy, with the other galaxy being far more advanced but with only a few species.

Your First Team would include: 1. You 2. Female Human 3. Male Turian 4. Male Salarian 5. Female Drell 6. Male Quarian-Geth Hybrid 7. Female Krogan Warrior

Liara would play much like a Doctor Chakwas allowing for connections and old allies to help you out.
