Yes it's some Mass Effect with a bit of back story and a rather large space engagement at close range with Cerberus attempting to gain access to sensitive Alliance information by force. This didn't take as long as I though it was going to take and i'm quite happy how it came out. I wanted to give it a Mass Effect vibe so plenty of bright colours and bold lighting with ME trademark Lens Flares. The Gas Giant has significant detail but you need to zoom in close to see it.
