Location: Milky Way / Armstrong Nebula / Vamshi System / First planet
Description[]
Maji orbits the Vamshi binary giant stars. Vamshi-A is a blue star of spectral class A4III which burns at half again the temperature of Sol. Vamshi-B is an aging red giant of class M5III, over 220 times the size of Sol.
Maji has a thin atmosphere of methane and carbon monoxide. The difference in temperature between the hemisphere facing the suns and that facing deep space causes constant wind, stirring the silica and sodium dust of the surface.
Unsavory characters from the Terminus Systems occasionally use Maji for forms of cruel sport, dumping slaves, hostages, quarreling shipmates, or even (when bored) vicious animals on the surface. One must kill the other before they will be rescued from the lethal radiation of the giant stars.

Points of Interest[]
| Location | Appearance | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Initial | Geth outpost (UNC: Geth Incursions) |
| 2 | Initial | Crashed probe (requires moderate or high Electronics to salvage). |
| 3 | Initial | Ancient debris (UNC: Turian Insignias)
“This strange-looking sensor has some ancient graffiti scribbled on it. It appears to be marked with the Edessan Colony insignia.” |
| 4 | Discovery | Odd Skull
“This massive skull is scored by deflected mass accelerator shots. The xenobiology files in your hardsuit computer can't identify the species. It must have been brought here from an unknown world.” |
| 5 | Unmarked | Five Geth Heavy Turrets are dotted along the road leading to the outpost |

Lifeforms[]
Properties[]
Maji's soil has grasslike lifeforms that can thrive in methane/carbon monoxide environments.
The operational area features a moderate wind that has a noticeable but not debilitating effect on visibility. There are no major obstacles from the Mako's landing zone at the southwest, hence the most efficient way of swinging by all points of interest—from the south thorium deposit going to the cluster of southeast objects then to the northwest points in a counterclockwise direction—is a fairly straight shot.
Trivia[]
- In Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Maji's terrain now features 3D grass carpeting instead of plain dirt textures.
