Mass Effect (PC) Guide Walkthrough Prologue: Normandy and Eden Prime
The Normandy
Our story begins with the Normandy traveling to Eden Prime: a peaceful agricultural colony established by the Systems Alliance.
Uncertain why such a remote and serene world has been selected as the destination for the Alliance’s most advanced and powerful vessel, much of the Normand y’s crew believes there’s more going on than meets the eye.
The intimidating presence of an onboard Council Spectre only fuels the widespread rumors that something big is about to happen.
The Normandy
The pride of the Alliance fleet, the Normandy is one of the most technologically advanced ships in the galaxy.
Built for speed and covert ops, the Normandy features an advanced stealth system—the only one of its kind in existence.
When activated, the stealth system allows the Normandy to slip past sensors, moving into orbit around planets and the like without fear of detection.
The Normandy features three decks and is manned by one of the most highly trained crews in the Alliance navy.
