Week 15: Haestrom, Thermonuclear

The former Quarian colony of Haestrom, in the far rim, was established to observe the Dholen phenomenon, the system's parent star's course towards becoming a Red Giant, a star that has exhausted its supply of hydrogen and resorts to thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen in a shell surrounding the core.

Haestrom was lost to the Geth in 1896 CE. Soon afterwards, all communication from the planet and its attendant space stations ceased.

Tali is interested in collecting invaluable research data from the planet in a daring mission into Geth territory. A squad of the Migrant Fleet's marines is assigned as her protection detail. Upon their arrival to Haestrom, the Quarians are attacked by Geth. The squad is completely wiped out, except for Kal'Reegar. Both Quarians will fight valiantly until commander Shepard happens to discover them and offer a little back up as well. This is the Quarians' fight.

Conditions:

• Mission success is required but Full Extraction is not required, you determine Kal's fate.
• Earn 5 waves survived medal.

Note: I've always felt that Firebase Giant looked a lot like Haestrom. Let it be the setting of our re-imagined Haestrom battle. Also, Tali has combat drone, AI hacking and Energy drain which differs from the quarian engineer significantly. She is a crafty engineer however, and she may very well have developed these new abilities along the way

Note: This challenge is for all those arc pistol fans out there, especially Hendrix, Max Dmian, kaxas and Kocka

Have fun!
