Summary
What if humanity had never made it to Mars?
In this version of their history, the resource wars from the 21st century spilled over into a full on Third World War, but those who survived managed to rebuild and eventually returned to space under sub-light speeds.
In 2157 a turian navy frigate is forced to go through an uncharted relay to track down and stop a batarian slaver cruiser. The same ship has been abducting humans from the Sol system with the Council none the wiser. Through the Charon Relay, the turians find the batarians attacking the third planet from the system’s star, and the First Contact War takes a new form.

Summary
Six years after the batarians were driven from Earth, Castis Vakarian brings his family to the upstart colony of Mindoir to catch up with his comrade and friend, Hannah Shepard. Her own son, John, is struggling with a crisis of worth following his baby sister's diagnosis as a latent biotic, juxtaposed with his own lack of such potential. Further complicating matters is the presence of the Vakarian scion, a rambunctious child named Garrus. Whatever normal development they may have had under these circumstances, however, will soon be superseded by a tragedy born of the consequences of human involvement in the larger galactic community, and a plot spanning decades that very few are aware of.
Mindoir is burning, and we're running out of places to flee to.
