• The red stripes that appear on Shepard's Onyx Armor are possibly a reference to the suits worn by astronauts on the Apollo Program. Commanders wore red stripes to distinguish them from their teammates According to The Art of Mass Effect, the red stripe also symbolises the human blood Shepard has to sacrifice to save the galaxy.
