​In the Mass Effect games, the fate of the galaxy rests on the shoulders of Commander Shepard. But in a war that consumes countless billions, the story of a single hero can mask the darker implications and the true weight of the conflict.
​This week on Acceptable Losses, we're pushing the "big hero" to the side and treating Commander Shepard as a myth. Instead, we are diving into the horror of the Reaper War from the perspective of the civilians, soldiers, and governments who fought and died on the front lines.
​Join us as we recount the galaxy-defining conflict, starting from the first chilling silence as the Batarian Hegemony goes dark and the unstoppable horror that followed.
