I just wanted to do some simple screenshot redraws but then my brain was like "What if they went to the same prison" and like... I don't know, brain? What if they did??

Probably some of the coolest looking custom preset/side character salarians in ME1 and 2 in my opinion.

Noveria is such an interesting part of the world of Mass Effect, and probably my favorite area of ME1. It is corporate greed gone haywire, the Wild West of the corporate world. It’s just enough outside of Citadel space to get away with whatever they want, and the consequences are enormous. We hear about Binary Helix trying to cure the genophage and just running off with the money because they can’t figure it out. We see firsthand the secrets and NDAs that ultimately allow the Rachni to come back without any recourse. Saren is buying tons of weapons and nobody seems to care or think anything of it, because at least they’re making money.

It’s terrible, it’s unethical, and it’s damn interesting. And Gianna Parasini is one of the few trying to keep these people in check (sort of - she’s an internal affairs investigator, though, so she still is working for the same companies doing all this shit). She’s a fascinating character. With Parasini and the other flawed players of Noveria (Anoleis, Lorik Qui’in, Maeko Matsuo, Kaira Stirling), the corporate spy drama of this planet would make for an excellent side series. Or maybe just a really good multi-part fic...
