Summary
Summary: A turian Lieutenant fights for the lives of his platoon. A human General struggles to maintain peace. As they both fight their own battles, each one struggles to surmount colossal objectives. Until they met at last.
Excerpt:
What Victus never accounted for was the possibility of going to war with a newly discovered race. Perhaps, when he was younger, he had held grand thoughts of leading a team against another acid-spitting, fourteen-eyed insect race like the rachni. He would shoot a phantom individual in the head with his imaginary shotgun and step away heroically to avoid the resultant green spray of acidic blood and brain matter while his platoon cheered.Of course, as he aged, such fantasies of resplendent heroism died long before he landed on Shanxi. Fortunate, because their enemies were not six-eyed insectoids that spewed acid and shat webbing. They were bipedal like most races, with only two forward-facing eyes, asari-like hands, and they bled red when bullets hit them. Sometimes, they even cried like asari.
Human, they called themselves.

Summary
Long before the Citadel Council, before the Protheans, even before the mysterious Inusannon... the galaxy was not silent.
An ancient, ferocious race emerged - not by chance, but by necessity. Born from the will of nature itself, they were forged to challenge an enemy that had disrupted the natural cycle of life. For over 100,000 years, these apex beings - predators perfected by extinction - waged a war of attrition against the Reapers. Their story was lost, buried beneath the ruins of forgotten empires. This is the chronicle of that war. Of evolution weaponized. Of a species born to break the cycle. This is the rise of the Viltrumites. They were not created to preserve life.
They were born to fight for it.

The same ship has been abducting humans from the Sol system with the Council none the wiser.

An interesting alternative timeline story where humanity somehow gets an even worse introduction to the galactic community than in canon. Deals heavily with the Batarian Hegemony and the issue of slavery.

Summary
The world ended and there was nothing we could do to stop it. Not by the Omnics we fought against, but by the very weapons we made to combat them. It was only through the vision of Dr. Sobeck that humanity now has a chance to rebuild out of the ashes of our extinction. But now we're not alone, on our planet or the galaxy at large.

A retelling of the First Contact War in a universe blended with the Aliens vs Predators universe. Follows not only the conflict on the ground and in space, but also a political conflict back on Earth, which differs greatly from Mass Effect canon.

A re-imagining of the First Contact War, which does go deeply into AU territory. It's an extensive war story with lots of twists and turns, where victory is neither easy nor certain for either side. It follows a number of characters and covers battles both on the ground and in space in detail, not shying from the dark side of war but also showing the things both sides have in common. Very engaging and exciting.
