The Beautiful Alien Worlds of Mass Effect

Published: January 01, 0001 Reading Time: Approx. 8 mins
Three games and a truckload of books, comics and supporting material supplied the Mass Effect universe with heaps of amazing-looking alien planets, moons and space stations. Over the course of the trilogy, we visited planet-sized cities, tropical beaches, and space-stations the size of moons.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Some visits were short, others lengthy, but each place we visited had its share of secrets to discover. Just as Commander Shepard traveled through the Milky Way to save mankind from the Reapers, for Mass Effect week, let’s revisit the most beautiful alien worlds the series had to offer. (We didn’t include Earth, because hey, it’s not alien to us, anyway.) The Citadel A gigantic u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ deep-space station, capital of the Citadel Council. Noveria A small, frozen, abandoned world with some of the most advanced research facilities in the galaxy. Ilos Once the finest example of Prothean glory, Ilos is now nothing but a devastated, rusty world. Illium The commerce planet of Illium is a melting pot of various culture and races. Thessia The Asari homeworld is one of the most powerful political centers in the galaxy. Sur’Kesh The lush, jungle Salarian homeworld. Its climate and the Earth’s have a lot in common. Virmire Purely based on its high u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ number of tropical beaches, Virmire could be the best place in the whole universe. Tuchanka After a planetary nuclear war, the krogan homeworld is u31 ทางเข้า deserted and in ruins. Also, compared with Virmire, possibly the worst planet in the entire universe. u31 ทางเข้า Menae The largest moon of the Turian homeworld Palaven, Menae hosts nothing but military bases around its surface. Mars The Prothean Archives are on Mars, making the planet an important destination during the war with the Reapers. u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ Shadow Broker Base The tough atmosphere of the planet Halagaz makes it an ideal hiding place for the Shadow Broker’s ship. Eden Prime Eden Prime is a human colony with a very Earth-like environment, and one of the earliest destinations for the Mass Effect series. Minuteman Station An enourmous orbital station, home of the Illusive man and his Cerberus network. Those aren’t all of the worlds we visited in the Mass Effect games, but it’s a lot of u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ them. What were your favorite locations? How about some of the more obscure planets we left off?

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
