Shadow President Felicia Winters has claimed that the Proactive Detection Bureau is unconstitutional as it violates the Federal Accord.
In an address before Congress, she said:
"The Federation's constitution explicitly guarantees citizens the right to data security and privacy. The PDB tramples over this by raiding everyone's personal communications, casting aside decency and dignity so that algorithms can probe into every aspect of our lives."
"Furthermore, if ACT's hypothesis is correct and the NMLA is using an advanced dark-comms network, then the PDB's existence is baseless and unjustifiable."
Vice President Jerome Archer responded:
"The Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act is emergency legislation that temporarily suspends constitutional statutes, until we are satisfied that the terrorist threat has been negated."
"Following the PDB's success in uncovering extremist groups, we are widening the

Princess Aisling Duval has made an unexpected announcement regarding her relationship with Federal Ambassador Jordan Rochester.

At a press conference in her palace on Emerald, the princess looked radiant as she addressed the media:

"It's no secret that Jordan and I grew close during his official visit. The time has come to let you know that we are to be husband and wife."

"I'm aware that some will see this as unorthodox, even controversial, but love knows no borders. It's our wish that our marriage will build lasting bridges between the Empire and the Federation."

A statement from Ambassador Rochester appeared in a special edition of The Federal Times:

"Representing the Federation has been my life's work, but meeting Her Highness – Aisling – made me realise that being by her side means even more. We hope that our betrothal will usher in a new era of cooperation between the two superpowers."

From the phenomenal team that brought statues and figures for Urdnot Wrex, Fallout 4’s T-45, and other iconic figures from Just Cause, Dragon Age, and others is another fine-looking collectible. Gaming Heads reveals female Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect trilogy in all her badass glory. At 1:4 scale, there is a standard and exclusive version available for purchase with that latter offering an additional weapon, the M-98 Widow Anti-Material Rifle. Both editions come with the M8 Avenger assault rifle, so swapping between weapons won’t be a problem.

What better way to immortalize the intrepid commander than in polystone resin? The careful handiwork and hand-painted details make this gorgeous statue another one for the personal collection. Standing at 20 inches tall, this commander makes a formidable foe against those who threaten Earth. Check out a spotlight video that shows off the galactic hero

Computer- Start recording. Captain’s log, supplemental. Commander Jacob Trask of the transport Beowulf, in charge of convoy 72478, currently en route to the Maxia Zeta Sector; so tired, so tired- but we have to keep moving and keep vigilant. Those damned raiders in their red ships! The stories I heard from Lieutenant Singh, of our well-meaning (but, I fear, under–gunned) Federation escort, are that the raiders just appear out of nowhere, scan the ships and either disappear as fast as they came, or start firing- no quarter given. My first thoughts were that it must be Romulan or Klingon raiders, cloaking in and out, but red ships? Singh has assured me that Starfleet will be on Red Alert should any of the raiders show their faces. If I had the confidence he had, I wouldn’t be updating this log and my will. It’s been a few days since we’ve heard of the raiders hitting any convoys, and I feel

Hello Everyone!

We hope you have been enjoying the most recent additions to the game with last week’s large update! The team here are concentrating hard on the upcoming features, but we continue to balance this with time dedicated to optimisation and ironing out issues that are important to players and to us.

This week’s update addresses a few high priority issues and introduces the Space Anomaly’s next community research mission!

Community Research Update

Specialist Polo’s research has taken a new direction this week, after their analysis of the Sentinel data yielded some surprising results. The Sentinels are tracking other anomalous signals, signals currently unknown to Nada and Polo.

They have pinpointed the location of what appears to be the echo of another Traveller-Entity. The Anomaly itself cannot travel to this location, for fear of further alerting the Sentinels. Polo asks for help in finding this

As Alliance engineers delve into Hur’q technologies to better understand them and how to best adapt their technology to ours, one specialized team has been hard at work adapting their starships for incorporation into the Alliance’s fleets to help replace the vessels lost in many recent conflicts. The following starships will become available with the release of the Swarm Lock Box, scheduled to arrive on PC starting with the release of Age of Discovery on October 9th, 2018. Hur’q Assembly Multi-Mission Science Vessel [T6] The Assembly appears to have originated as a long-range scout, with strong sensor suites and auxiliary systems designed for support roles and scientific endeavors, but highly adaptable to more offensive pursuits since the Hur’q transitioned into a ravening swarm. Despite a relatively civilian design (when seen through the unique lens of Hur'q society), these vessels

As streaming services continue their conquests to control what is the hottest slice of the media landscape, the biggest companies are looking to popular video game franchises to boost their original slate of productions. Netflix recently has found much success by adapting League of Legends to an animated series, and HBO is hard at work on a live-action version of The Last Of Us as well. The Mass Effect video game series has seen a return to popularity this past year with the release of the Mass Effect remastered original trilogy and the announcement of a new game. Now, it appears that Amazon is betting big on a new Mass Effect television series.

Deadline has reported on Amazon and their original productions primarily made for their streaming service, Amazon Prime Video. The piece primarily focuses on the genre productions made by the company, such as their upcoming Lord of the Rings series and their

Electronic Arts’ EA Play 2018 press conference has kicked off the big round of presentations being made at this year’s E3 show. As promised, EA has provided many new details about their current and upcoming games, including Star Wars Battlefront II, Battlefield V, and the much anticipated Anthem.

BioWare fans have been eager to see the new IP from the beloved developer behind the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series. However, Anthem has certainly looked and felt somewhat different from these other classic franchises, making many to wonder whether Anthem romance options will be a feature in the final game that continues the fan-favorite tradition.

Mike Gamble, who is serving as the lead producer for Anthem, has recently spoken with GameInformer for a cover story. Naturally, the topic of romance options was brought up, given their proliferated use in BioWare games. Fans may be disappointed to hear, as

Quote from Mass Effect

Urdnot Wrex is more than just a Krogan, he’s the ultimate battle buddy. From the Mass Effect trilogy series, Gaming Heads announces a limited edition Urdnot Wrex statue to stand beside Shepard in times of need complete with biotics and ultimate fire-power. What better way to celebrate a character with hilarious one liners than with an exclusive? He’s the very same genius that goes beyond just the precautionary double-tap with the saying, “Why shoot something once when you can shoot it 46 times?” That’s the Krogan all Mass Effect fans know and love.

Luckily, there are two collectible editions available at the Gaming Heads website, both retailing for the same price of $599.99. However, the exclusive Urdnot Wrex is only available on the respective site and limited to 500 pieces to be sold worldwide. It includes an exclusive M-300 claymore shotgun, and “clenched left hand swap-out items”. Both

General: Romulan Imperial Minefield: Mission reward box at the end now shows the player all of the rewards received, not just the random item. Fleet marks awarded to all captains now, not just level 50+. The damaged asteroid mining facilities at Alpha, Beta, and Gamma now have small amounts of mines around them. Be careful! This is a minefield, after all. Resolved an issue that caused Romulan ships to fight each other at the end. There is now a small chance on each play through that a Romulan Republic ship will show up to assist. Resolved an issue that could cause players to get the "Go to Rally Point" button while already at the rally point. Resolved an issue that could cause the reward items at the end of the operation from being of a level appropriate to the player. Temporal Agents: Noted on Admiralty campaign progression that the goals apply only to Federation,

Last year’s indefinite hiatus of Mass Effect franchise unfortunately meant Mass Effect Andromeda would not receive any further updates from BioWare, leaving one of the game’s most intriguing plot threads dangling out in space. The mysterious lost Quarian ark housing several of the series’ familiar alien races had been memorably teased in the game’s campaign, but never received a proper follow-up.

However, last year it was announced the distressed starship Keelah Si’yah would finally have its story told in the form of a new tie-in novel titled Mass Effect Annihilation. The book was to reintroduce the Drell, Batarian, Elcor, and Quarian races along their journey into the Andromeda galaxy, also revealing why they didn’t initially make contact with the Initiative. As evidenced by the novel’s official synopsis, the reasoning was considerably horrific.

The Quarian ark Keelah Si’yah sails toward the Andromeda

The incidents around Pahvo have resulted in a lot of new discoveries and designs, as alternate dimension ideas bring inspiration, answers, and more questions towards the minds of this universe. The result of much of this work is the Mirror Styx Dreadnought Cruiser [T6]. The Styx Terran Dreadnought Cruiser [T6] will become available with the release of the Emperor’s Lock Box, scheduled to arrive on PC starting with our 9th Anniversary on January 23rd, 2019, and on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on March 5th, 2019! This new starship can be used as soon as you’ve completed the tutorial, and will scale with you as you level up all the way to max level! This starship continues the experiment started by the Walker-class Prototype Light Exploration Cruiser and expanded by the Mirror Escort Carrier [T6] as another scaling starship!

It's hard to believe, but we're already well into June and the (northern) summer is practically here. That means that it's once again time for us to start getting ready for the CIC Birthday Party! Just like we have for the last few years, we'll be shifting the observed date slightly to accommodate various conflicts. We hope you can join us on Saturday, August 17, at 7:00 pm EDT (4:00 pm PDT and 11:00 pm GMT). This year we'll be celebrating the CIC's 21st, which is hard to believe!

The party will take place in #Wingnut on our Discord server. As always, you're welcome to drop by the chat room any time beforehand to join in the fun. We're still working out the specifics, but for the first time, there's a chance we might also have an accompanying simultaneous live stream to take the excitement to a whole new dimension! Stay tuned for more details as the event approaches.
