In 2008 25 years after the war of 83 the still recovering world would receive a message from the edge of the solar system.
“Oh on the waves and into the night we sail for Empress,
Oh yo Glory To The Empress
to distant lands we bring her glory,
Oh yo Glory To The Empress
through the storms we brining civilization
Oh yo Glory To The Empress
We fight with honor to join with our mothers
Oh yo Glory To The Empress
Glory of death is the way of the imperium
Oh yo Glory To The Empress
Life in her navy is the only way for me gals
Oh Yo Glory To The Empress
So oh on the waves we go sailing for the empress
Oh Yo Glory To The Empress”
The reaction to our first ever message from an alien race was swift.
N.U.N Security General Obama giving the announcement to the media that they had made first contact with the alien race known as the Kan’la .
The next message would come three days later as the first sighting of the alien ship would appear near the astroid belt.
“Daughters of Earth, we come in peace and bring with us holy honor let us taste your legendary warriors and if you deprave us of battle and we will kill you all.” The next message would come three days later as the first sighting of the alien ship would appear near the astroid belt.
Blanket confusion would cover the Earth, until a package of information would be sent by the Kan’la that would clear up somethings. They were matriarchal warrior race. Apparently the first part of the second message was a cultural mistake in translation and they infact believed earth to be home to legendary warriors and wanted to face the soldiers of Earth in a battle.
the President of California Dwayne Johnson on his re-election tour offering himself to fight one on one with the aliens in a “cage match”.
The Kan’la would reach the earth and deploy fighters near depopulated areas and play another message
“Deploy your soldiers or we will start to target your cities, In The Name Of The Goddess Empress Face Us Humans. Let Us Taste Of Your Power!”

Vestal Virgins is an important institution in Ancient Rome. Later they were reproduced in some other cities (mainly as a symbol of continuity from the Roman Empire). Priestesses of the goddess Vesta (Hestia), they support the Sacred Fire perceived as a symbol of prosperity and the future state.

Part Two
Republic of Dixie soldiers firing on Kan’la attack ships. This despite fears of “force fields” the alien crafts seemed to vulnerable to most heavy weapons and infact resemble designs from the mid to late pre war of 83 20th century.Part Two
a captured Kan’la fighter craft apparently the painting on the craft was actuality depicting a flying animal of their home planet. Capturing a fighter was rare in the two week long “war” as the fighter would often blow the crafts up rather than crash or be captured.
Kan’la was anti air weapons some where in the Russian Republic, although the Kan’la tended to avoid colder areas of the planet.
UN soldiers in a middle of combat back with a Kan’la fighter jet somewhere often the coast of the Republic Of East Africa.
After two weeks and nearly a hundred thousand dead the Kan’la would stop the war declaring
“Your soldiers have proven themselves, all that is not Kan’la is yours, we shall meet with you in person. Long Live Humanity and Long Live the Kan’la!.”
What humanity thought was an all out attack was intact a greeting, if Humanity had given up the earth would have been colonized by the Kan’la . What would be more shocking was how similar the Kan’la looked to humans
The height of the average Kan’la female tended to be around 5’8 to 6’0 while the Kan’la males was around 5’5 to 5’8. Their skin ranged from bright pale to dark blue, to brown to black and even green. Whole organs. Placement seemed to different outside of having three livers it was mostly the same layout.

Is this from a TL where Roman paganism still exist?

From the “Images from Footprint of Mussolini” thread:
Instrumental cover of the hit late 1960’s Italian rock song “Oh ragazzo!” or “Oh Boy!” in English.
The song is an anti-war song sung from the perspective of a boy in late teens whose friend is sent off down south to fight in the Third Italo-Ethiopian War and the boy’s sadness at seeing his friend go and about how horrible the young soldier’s experience will be and what he’ll experience down there. The song was made and sung by famous Italian rock band, “Typhon”. In 2009, some dedicated fans of Typhon on YouTube made a music video for Oh ragazzo! the band liked it so much they contacted the fans and told them that not only did they see the music video but they wanted to work with them.
Recently in the last three months of 2020 and going into 2021, there’s been speculation abound on the internet that Oh ragazzo! has hidden meanings and is actually about the boy in the song subtly professing is love for his soldier friend, Typhon’s official Twitter account has denied this stating “Oh ragazzo! is a anti-war song of the era, pure and simple. There is no LGBT romantic undertones!”

A leaked photograph from a CNN news van, showing what appears to be an unidentified lifeform being pursued by vehicles of the United States Army along a section of the I-10 highway in New Mexico. It is unknown if this creature, and many others similar to it, can be traced back to the catastrophic events at the Black Mesa Research Facility two days ago, or the strange weather phenomena currently affecting large portions of the American Southwest. A state of emergency has been declared nationwide by the President of the United States in response to these occurrences.

In my headcanon, the creature in the photo is just some random Xenian animal, albeit one that's super, super rare (which is why they never ever appear again). Eventually the rest of them died out due to human culling efforts a few days before the Seven Hour War. Its pretty unimpressive as an animal, just imagine a bullsquid but a bit faster but can't spit acid.
(The screenshot itself is from the movie Monsters: Dark Continent)
Contact: Part 3
Painting of the Viceroy N’soka who authorized the contact with Earth. N’soka would never officially set front on Earth preferring to use ambassadors.
The interview itself would mark the start of the anti alien movement otherwise known as the Free Terran Movement.
Nevertheless even the face of some militant action taken by the FTM, humanity relationship with the Kan’la would grow and within the first three years of contact the North American Union would launch their first FTL ship the Kirk class.
Still even in the mist of the new space age war wouldn’t be far behind as the socialist republic of Russia would invade the Baltic Confederacy marking the start of the fourth world war.
screengrab from the "Mass Effect Remastered" trilogy. When the Mass Effect trilogy came to an end in 2014, it was widely praised for innovative gameplay, branching paths where choices mattered (such as if Commander Shepard would ultimately survive the trilogy, based on then seemingly minor choices throughout all three games) and the ability to carry over characters by importing savegames from the previous entries.
The second and third entries were severely delayed. Officially, because the failed EA buyout left Bioware struggling for funds (which, while true, was resolved with a partial non-controlling buyout by AMD via their Canadian ATI subsidiary) but in 2018, interviews revealed that there were internal divisions over the direction of the story. In the end, Mass Effect 2 and 3 were both praised for their writing, putting aside fears of an unsatisfying resolution and ending after so long in development hell ala Duke Nukem Forever.
All three games won awards by an adoring press, and accolades by fans.
The Mass Effect trilogy was remastered to "tide fans over" until the release of Mass Effect Andromeda, the hotly anticipated sequel/spinnoff, scheduled for Q2 2022.
* Why no, I'm totally not still salty about the ME3 ending. Whatever gave you that idea?
