Take Earth from the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series setting, as of the end of Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, and put it in the Mass Effect setting, following the same timeline. The result? Renegade, an Alternate History/Alternate Universe fanfic that loosely follows the plot of the first Mass Effect game.The year is 2183. The Global Defense Initiative, having formed a unified global hegemony on Earth, discovers Prothean ruins on Mars, which jumpstarts their already-advanced technology and allows them to escape the ecological hellhole that Earth has become thanks to Tiberium. Making their way into the stars, they run afoul of the Turian Hierarchy and the rest of the Citadel species. With their advanced technology and the economic power of Tiberium, GDI becomes a major independent player in galactic politics, presenting an ally for disaffected species like the krogan and Quarian Migrant Fleet. However, things aren't all rosy, as GDI finds itself locked in a drawn-out war with the Batarian Hegemony, and in the shadows, the Brotherhood of Nod is emerging, manipulating events from behind the scenes....Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story opens with then-Lieutenant Shepard, a biotic GDI Commando who finds herself forced to accept the assistance of the Brotherhood of Nod when slavers attack Elysium, and as a result is catapulted into heroism and fame. Seven years later, on the way to the GDI colony world of Eden Prime alongside a Council Spectre, she discovers an old enemy has emerged and attacked the human colony: the alien Scrin, working alongside the synthetic geth and a mysterious alien dreadnought.Written by Peptuck, the same author behind Tiberium Wars and Forward. Notable for the level of depth involved in depicting the effect that a GDI-led humanity would have on the galaxy. It is indicated that this universe's Earth is set after the "good" ending to Tiberium Wars where the Liquid Tiberium Bomb was not used. The story also draws a great deal of inspiration from the canceled Tiberium game, using various designs, weapons, and uniforms from the game, such as the Integrated Combat Suit and a variant of the GD-10 weapon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Archived story thread on Spacebattles can be found here, and Fanfiction.net version available here.Has two official Broad Strokes prequels written by Charnobyl: Eagle's Fall, which covers the Shanxi War between GDI and the Turian Hierarchy, and The Verge War, covering the war between GDI and the Batarian Hegemony.Not to be confused for the television series, or the 2002 Command and Conquer video game of the same name. | |

Gatling Good: The MAWS (Multibarreled Antiarmor Weapons System) which is a four-barreled railgun that has the added option to let all four barrels be fire at once. It is massive, requiring a regular human or humanoid without powered armor to wear special strength-assist attachments on their armor to handle it. | |

Standard Sci-Fi Fleet | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_15d6b534 | comment |
Standard Sci-Fi Fleet: Word of God has laid out that the different navies of both GDI and Nod have distinct compositions and doctrines. GDI's fleet primarily consists of carriers and lighter ships, with an emphasis on base-hopping and resource and convoy interdiction, with enormous, heavily-armed fleets for destroying hardened targets and "super-heavy carriers" based on MCV technology that are designed to supply cluster-wide operations. Nod, on the other hand, uses larger numbers of lighter cruisers, complete with long-range fighters and light carriers, with an emphasis on destroying enemy supplies and support and avoiding a decisive engagement, causing the enemy to waste resources and spread himself thin defending against constant attacks. Both navies make use of MCV/Crawler technology to let them operate deep in enemy territory. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Each chapter has a Codex entry at the end, similar to Mass Effect's, which details information that wouldn't be readily clear in the fanfic's narrative. The Spacebattles discussion thread also has some additional background information scattered throughout it. And by "similar to", we mean "many of them are actual Mass Effect codex entries, re-written with GDI's impact". | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Literally. Nod and Phoenix are violently hostile to one another, but in Chapter 12, both Miranda and Locke are trying to assist the GDI Embassy against the Scrin. Miranda is killing Masterminds to keep them from teleporting in reinforcements, while Locke is trying to analyze the Masterminds so that the Illusive Man can hack them and do the Scrin equivalent of a [DDoS] attack. Then again, from Miranda's reaction to Locke's arrival, neither Phoenix or Nod are exactly on speaking terms. | |

The Citadel Control officer refusing to allow the Kursk's Orca compliment to assist in the Embassy battle because they don't have clearance - up until Nihlus comes in and grants authorization, at which point the bureaucrat is happy to let them launch. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: A lot of material is based on content from the canceled Tiberium game: The Werewolf weapons are based on the Swiss-Army Weapon the protagonist used, Nod armor and uniforms are based on their designs in the game, and the Scrin's Intruders are modified versions of the humanoid enemies with the same name in that game. The Scrin appear to be Mass Effect 2 fans: On the Prothean wreck over Hesano, two people who didn't expect to meet up again: | |

The Stations of the Canon | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_273af360 | comment |
The Stations of the Canon: One issue witht he story is that it cleaves very closely to the original Mass Effect timeline despite the butterfly effect of GDI and Nod's presence in the setting, with the attack on Eden Prime happening at the same time as it did in canon and only marginally deviating from that at first (ie, Jenkins survives until the end of the Eden Prime mission, rather than becoming its first casualty). However, by the sixth chapter, the story starts rolling off the rails with things like the introduction of Kane, Spectre Garrus Vakarian, Kal'Reegar and a large group of quarian marines escorting Tali, Zaeed, Locke and the Phoenix organization, and a Scrin attack on the Citadel. By the "Ghosts" interlude, things have leapt completely off the rails, with the Collectors starting their attacks a couple of years early. | |

| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_2b42db02 | comment |
The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: Phoenix, which may or may not be this setting's analogue to Cerberus. Their intentions and motivations are stereotypically mysterious, but they appear to be hostile to Nod, or at least Kane's followers. And as with Cerberus, they are lead by Jack Harper, who is... different. | |

More Dakka | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_2b706ca | comment |
More Dakka: The GDI looked at the other races, and saw how (as in canon), it was possible to make weapons shrink to take up less space. For example, a pistol could shrink to the size of a deck of cards, or an assault rifle could shrink to the size of a shoebox. They looked at this miniaturization technology, and decided that instead of taking a weapon and making it smaller, they would keep the weapon the same size and add more gun. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Firestorm barriers, per Word of God. Their power draw is enormous and they only go in one direction, and the projectors are still vulnerable to enemy fire, making them only really useful as a surface defense system with the projectors armored and buried underground. The Firestorm can be angled to create a pyramid-shaped defensive dome, but this won't work on spacecraft because they can be attacked from any angle, and the shield would draw about three times as much power as the rest of the ship's systems put together. | |

We Are Everywhere: Nod. They can apparently alter communications from the Citadel at will to obfuscate what happened at Eden Prime, and later manage to get a building-sized hologram of Kane to appear in the Council Chambers. Ultimately, subverted. Kane's resources are not as extensive as they look, and he uses spectacular displays and his reputation to disguise his limited true capabilities. | |

Cowboy Cop | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Garrus' shift from a somewhat impetuous Cowboy Cop to "Jack Bauer meets the Kool-Aid Man" appears to be a direct result of GDI's presence in the timeline. Thanks to GDI aggressiveness, the Council expanded the number of Spectres, and he was given an opportunity to join. He made the choice to become a Spectre, and as a result never got the instilled restraint he would have otherwise received as a police officer. The result is a Spectre who, despite retaining his canonical friendliness, is about as subtle as a brick through a stained glass window. | |

Manipulative Bastard | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: Kane. When you're the head of an infamous terrorist/criminal/fanatical religious organization who manages to steal the Tacitus, one of the most valuable artifacts to both the Citadel and GDI, then turn around and negotiate a compromise between the two to make yourself look like the reasonable and level-headed one, you're a definite case of this. In fact, this is pretty much Kane's entire methodology, as he doesn't have the massive base of support he had on Earth, and is forced to play the role of secretive manipulator using his minimal resources to make himself look bigger than he really is. Word of God is that Councilor Sparatus is a Jerkass to humans deliberately, so that angry humans won't think clearly. Shepard is implied to be one of these. She is very good at manipulating others and knowing how to keep negative personality traits (such as Garrus' and Admiral Parker's tendency for overkill) under control. | |

Touched by Vorlons: The Tacitus results in this, as it physically alters Shepard so that she adapts to her augments faster, as well as lets her activate and control Prothean technology.

Broad Strokes | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_547196be | comment |
Broad Strokes: Word of God is that canon has been "massaged" to allow for a better story, with things like precise numbers and weapons yields being glossed over to create a stronger and more realistic drama. For example, when one reader complained that the salarian STG were so easily defeating GDI information security, the author replied that the STG had been infiltrating other species' security networks for a thousand years and were using advanced computers when humanity was still using the abacus. They should be running rings around GDI in the intelligence arena. In addition, Red Alert events have been oh-so-briefly mentioned in passing, with deliberate mention that the events of Red Alert broadly apply to the setting. | |

Of note is that Shepard is pretty much forced to do this; she's been stripped of her weapons and gear and is on a Nod ship, and they make it clear that she can either go along with them or bad things will happen. Zaeed pulls this with Jacob and the GDI Marines in Chapter 9, while storming the warehouse. Both Shepherd and Jacob are alert for him to doublecross them. He does, but is foiled by Alenko. | |

Off the Rails | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_60eac4ba | comment |
Off the Rails: The story follows the original Mass Effect plotline fairly closely, right up until chapter 6, when Kane shows up. Shortly afterward, we have an insane wall-smashing Garrus helping Shepard track down Tali and Kal'reegar, and attack on the GDI Embassy by the Scrin in which Shepard is (briefly) killed, and GDI and the Quarian Migrant Fleet teaming up to go after the geth while Shepard chases down Saren. | |

Death World: The general perception of Earth is that it's an even deadlier world then Tuchancka with one of the key differences being that when presented with the possibility of getting off the planet like the krogan a large portion of the human population chose to stay put. Which of course lends itself to the perception of humanity as a species of crazy BAMFs by the rest of the galaxy. | |

Implacable Man: All of the Scrin sect known as Reaper-18 exhibit these traits, with warrior forms that can wade through small arms fire without slowing (Intruders) take dozens of grenades without stopping (the Ravagers), can actively regenerate from any injuries and require antitank weapons to put down (Corrupters) or simply tanking fire from entire GDI platoons, complete with biotics, and not even giving a damn (the Battleminds). When Sovereign attacks Eden Prime, it takes a direct broadside from a GDI orbital defense platform, which has six dreadnought-grade ion cannons on it, without blinking. | |

Awakening the Sleeping Giant | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_7317b97d | comment |
Awakening the Sleeping Giant: The Batarian Hegemony did this when they kept supporting raids on human space. And it turns out that the batarians were only fighting two of GDI's eight standing fleets. And this is before GDI starts mobilizing for full-scale war due to the geth attacks and Kane bringing out Temple Prime. When the latter two events happen, GDI rolls out the Ninth Fleet and begins building and training the Tenth and Eleventh battle fleets within a three month period to finish the batarians off. Speculation (partially supported by Word of God) is that the Scrin are hiding specifically to avoid doing this to the Reapers. And unfortunately, they seeded the wrong world with tiberium.... A more villainous example is the Collectors starting the harvest a few years earlier than expected. And Kane suspects that he actually caused them to attack by revealing Temple Prime. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: The author has made it quite clear that neither GDI nor Nod are complete good guys or villains. In fact, Nod seems to get more positive points than negative ones in this timeline, though in his commentary the author notes that both the Brotherhood and GDI are different entities than they were in the Command & Conquer games, being separated by more than a hundred years. In one of the author's own comments, he said that (paraphrased) "Neither side is right. However, both sides are wrong on certain points." | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want of a Nail: Garrus' shift from a somewhat impetuous Cowboy Cop to "Jack Bauer meets the Kool-Aid Man" appears to be a direct result of GDI's presence in the timeline. Thanks to GDI aggressiveness, the Council expanded the number of Spectres, and he was given an opportunity to join. He made the choice to become a Spectre, and as a result never got the instilled restraint he would have otherwise received as a police officer. The result is a Spectre who, despite retaining his canonical friendliness, is about as subtle as a brick through a stained glass window. To a much lesser degree, there's Jacob Taylor. In the traditional ME timeline, he joined the Corsairs because he thought it would cut down on the red tape that the SA puts on its military, and left to join Cerberus when even Corsairs proved little better than the Marines. In the Renegade timeline, the GDI's time honored tradition of "Step 1: identify problem. Step 2: apply military force. Step 3: repeat Step 2 until problem ceases to be problematic," seems to have prevented Jacob from ever wanting to leave the standard military. Zaeed's presence on the Citadel is apparently as a result of this. Due to GDI's friendliness with the krogan, Wrex got a job on Eden Prime as a bodyguard. As a result, Zaeed was the one hired by the Shadow Broker to deal with Fist. Tali has already completed her pilgrimage when the story starts, which means rather than a sole Quarian on the run from Saren, she had a team of Migrant Fleet Marines with her, of which Kal'Reegar is the only survivor. This also explains the larger merc presence. Also the plans for the invasion of Rannoch are happening much earlier thanks to GDI support Thane is a Citadel Spectre in this timeline. | |

Note also that this story ignores the events of Tiberian Twilight. There are a number of smaller, aesthetic differences too, i.e. the Normandy's interior lighting is cold blue-gray and their haptic interfaces are blue instead of orange. | |

Story-Breaker Power: Both GDI and Nod's sheer industrial capacity and raw firepower is downplayed. In canon, even outside of Gameplay and Story Segregation, it takes all of 3 minutes to make a Mammoth tank. Peptuck made it clear that he deliberately nerfed them for story purposes, because canon C&C manufacturing speed and firepower would break the story. He summed it up with the simple phrase "story > biggatons." | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill like Overkill: GDI's approach to warfare is pure, unrelenting firepower coupled with Disproportionate Retribution. For comparison to the original timeline, the assault on Torfan was a costly ground attack through the pirates' tunnels. In this timeline, Torfan's base was orbitally obliterated by an ion cannon barrage that destroyed the complex and everything within fifty kilometers of the base. GDI, furthermore, has twenty defense platforms surrounding the Charon relay, each with six dreadnought-grade ion cannons on it. They're very serious about possible invasion. Interestingly, this is pretty much the opposite of the Systems Alliance's doctrine, which emphasized flexibility and mobility. Garrus has... markedly less restraint than in canon. This is Admiral Havoc V's general approach to most situations. Worryingly, he assumes everyone follows the same mindset. Unsurprisingly, he and Garrus become instant friends. The Protheans apparently used ion cannons as point defense guns. | |

Superweapon Surprise | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_97f53f5b | comment |
Superweapon Surprise: In the background, the turians were caught a bit off-guard when they tried to assault Shanxi and ran headlong into orbital ion cannons for the first time. Unfortunately for GDI, the turians adapted pretty quickly, and Sovereign is easily able to bypass the GDI defenses by taking advantage of the ion beams moving at c to stay several light seconds out of range, taking out the ion arrays with kinetic rounds, then moving as the GDI guns spot them and return fire. Word of God regarding the Scrin is that the forces seen in-game in Tiberium Wars are the equivalent of a few hundred mercenaries with armored cars and assault rifles, and the true Scrin armies and navy are "an entirely different beast." Among their assets are phasing tiberium kinetic impactors with liquid-tiberium cores, short-range teleporters, phasing technology, rift missiles, and some of them use large-scale versions of the Masterminds' mind-control rigs. The implication is that the Scrin are preparing for war with the Reapers. Kane revealing Temple Prime, a two-kilometer long space station which comes out of nowhere and pretty much sends everyone scrambling to respond and figure out how the hell he managed to build it. | |

Continuity Nod: There are a number of references to Eagle's Fall, such as a turian naval officer who was the son of the turian admiral in charge of the battle at Shanxi, as well as Locke, alive and well and apparently working for Phoenix. Also, Word of God confirms that Anastacia Telfair is the descendant of Sandra Telfair from Tiberium Wars. Later on, there is also Captain Aldis Rawne, a descendant of Commander Rawne from the same story, as well as several references to the omnipresent mist and dim lighting in Nod facilities (itself a Running Gag). | |

One-Man Army: The first chapter has Shepard holding off five hundred Batarian slavers with "her rifle and shouted profanity", and it just gets better from there. Deconstructed with Zaeed: he has this reputation, but he's smart enough enough to know that he can be taken down with enough numbers and firepower, so he uses carbombs and mini mecha. | |

Shepard has this reaction at the thought of Garrus and Havoc (the fifth) being in the same room. Two awesome characters working together nearly causes her to hyperventilate. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Chapter Three: Later on there's a GDI frigate captain named Nathan Reynolds who says that they're going to send the geth "to the special hell." Also, the company that developed the Werewolf rifle is Monoc Securities. To quote Shepard: "Most little girls had dolls. I had a datapad with The Prince." Kane references Star Wars while talking to Saracino, saying that "Director, I find your lack of faith disturbing." He's grinning the whole time, so it's quite clear he knows what he's referencing. Jacob even lampshades it. "Smug: I am on a rachni." Three in Chapter 8: Tali's stealth systems have a certain mechanical voice announcing when they activate, there's a REV Mini-Mecha, and one of the mercenaries mentions getting "biology lessons" on a quarian prisoner from a guy named Nantz. When Jacob and Zaeed are talking in Chapter 9, mention is made of a "maxim" that "The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy." Which is Maxim Twenty-Nine. Two Nod spies are referred to as Agent Coulson and Fisher. Also, Observation Team Oracle. When Locke's team drops in during Chapter 11, they use something suspiciously similar to the Icarus Landing System. Miranda's augmentations bear more than a passing resemblance to JC Denton's nanotech augments. Captain Ivan Dolvich and Major Barry Unger. There's also a Private Wallcroft. Mention is made of a quarian 'Hoban clan, who are renowned pilots due to flying tramp freighters and fighters. Throughout Chapter Thirteen, many characters surviving near death experiences echo Frank Woods' catchphrase: "Can't kill me." One Citadel Spectre is named Octavian. Shepard's reaction to the cybernetic augments to replace her lost arm is "I didn't ask for this." Then she mentions that even though she didn't ask for them, they still kick ass. Telfair's Orca squadron is named Athena Squad. Wrex smashed a Scrin Intruder, before muttering "Puny Scrin". In the same chapter, Wrex also mentions that he thought a guard named Carmine was already dead, and that his helmet kept restricting his vision. This exchange between Wyrlock Kruge and one of his subordinates. | |

Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_e154ff08 | comment |
Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Garrus favors this method of questioning. Subverted with Zaeed. When he questions Fist, he tells him that Fist is a dead man already. Then he takes out a knife and sets it down next to a pillow, then tells Fist that if he talks, he'll get the pillow, and if he refuses, he'll get the knife. | |

Kill Him Already! | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_e539f64f | comment |
Kill Him Already!: Both Jenkins and Shepard make this mistake when confronting Saren by covering him with their railguns and demanding he surrender instead of outright shooting him. In the former's case, it gives Saren time to use an ECM pulse to make his weapon think it is overheating, while in the latter, it gives Saren time for a Scrin Mastermind to arrive and teleport him away. Shepard berates herself for this mistake immediately afterward, saying she should have shot Saren right away, and Nihlus responds by saying that yes, she should. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Kaidan's appearance in Chapter 9, taking down Zaeed. A whole slew in Chapter 12, with Marked of Kane rescuing Miranda from Intruders and Garrus and Kal'Reegar saving Shepard, Tali, and Michel from a Corrupter. Also subverted when Galorus and Valerian are immbolized by a gun walker. The GDI Orcas arrive a split-second too late to save them. | |

Jerkass: Councilor Sparatus. Not a huge surprise: Sparatus is, in canon, most known for being Air-Quote Turian. | |

Jet Pack | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_ebad3aad | comment |
Jetpack: GDI makes near-ubiquitous use of these in all their armor, with the rest of the Citadel species moving to adopt them in special operations units once GDI proved their effectiveness in the First Contact War. | |

Stealth in Space | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_f2e4d683 | comment |
Stealth in Space: Both Nod and GDI appear to have one-upped the original timeline's stealth systems; GDI has finally cracked Nod's stealth tech to develop a working optical cloak, used in conjunction with the thermal cloaking the original Normandy had. Complete with an early throwaway line about SIS being "impossible". | |

Not My Driver: This happens while Shepard and Anderson are leaving the Citadel Tower, where the two GDI soldiers driving their aircar are actually badguys who ambushed the actual aircar driver/escort and took their armor. | |

Insult Backfire | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_f6f2ff1 | comment |
Insult Backfire: A political variation; the Council snubbed GDI, restricting their attempts to get an Embassy on the Presidium by refusing to allow armed GDI guards. GDI instead took out a much larger, roomier, and nicer Embassy on the Wards in a private building that let them maintain a few hundred armed guards instead. | |

Sufficiently Advanced Alien | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_f7b32015 | comment |
Sufficiently Advanced Alien: The Scrin in general. Most of their technology is a completely out-of-context problem for the Citadel and even GDI. No one really has any idea how to counter something that can casually teleport past your defenses and mind-control entire groups of people instantly. Plus, they have some kind of Mastermind variant that can hurl launch things in the air with blasts of raw kinetic force, which apparently doesn't involve biotics or mass effect technology. | |

Running Gag | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Garrus raids a series of warehouses by crashing through the wall of each one in a "borrowed" car. The flashback to each is recounted identically, until Shepard catches on and tells him to just skip the rest. Whenever a character thinks about Admiral Parker, the words "strategic" and "collateral" tend to appear in the narration. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Renegade (Fanfic) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: GDI's naming scheme for their big ships. Supercarriers' classes are named after planets, while the ships themselves are named after mythological figures, i.e. the Mars-class supercarrier GDC Krishna. Dreadnought classes are named after terrestrial bodies, with the smaller dreadnoughts being named after cataclysmic events and the bigger ones being named after apocalyptic ones. So you get Mountain-class dreadnoughts named GDD Tunguska or GDD Sarajevo note Apparently named after the liquid tiberium detonation in Tiberium Wars, and Glacier-class dreadnoughts GDD Ragnarok and GDD Tiber Rivernote after the site where tiberium hit Earth. | |
