694A/N This is my first fan fic so I hope people like it. For those of you who have read Halo: A New Age by xpredatorx may notice similarity's in the first few chapters, including paragraphs being the exact same word for word, I am using his first few chapters as a template to start mine off (Don't worry I asked him) but it will follow its own course so don't go thinking I'm plagiarising his story.
It is not just a ME/Halo crossover but also has several other SCI-FI universes mixed in, including star wars and AvP, there will be elements of some of my favourite fanfic as well.
I am welcome to ideas and suggestions regarding things to add and will frequently ask for suggestions.
Halo, Mas Effect and the others belong to their respected owners.
Edit 04/04/13 It has recently come to my attention that xpredatorx worked with User Mistasilentkiller to create Halo: A New Age from so I wish to thank them both for allowing me to use the first six chapters as templates for my first seven chapters since it belongs to both of them. As already mentioned this first chapter is template on Halo: A New Age's first chapter. I would also like to thank them for the use of some of their terms in Halo: A New Age such as the OSA.

A/N Well I hope you enjoyed it and hopefully my next update will be soon. I did originally have planned to have a few chapters take place during avatar and Jurassic park but decided against it, but if you think I should then let me know.
Remember I am open to suggestions. One thing I'd like to know is do you want Noble six to be male or female. Also what races should get the fleets of star wars (eg the Predators have the CIS ships and vehicals, Twi'lek old Republic etc.) The Rebel fleet is already done and goes to the Mon-Calamari.
