The first three Mass Effect games takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy during the 22nd century and revolves around a space navy soldier named Commander Shepard.

It is primarily based on a series of third-person role-playing shooter video games which currently consists of four mainline instalments and two spin-off mobile games. The Mass Effect series, a military science fiction media franchise developed by Canadian video game developer BioWare and owned by American publisher Electronic Arts, features an extensive cast of characters. Middle row: Suvi, Drack, Ryder (default male appearance), Lexi, Liam. Back row, from left to right: Vetra, Gil, Jaal. These findings imply systematic shifts in taphonomic preservation, and by extension, the quality of paleobiologic and paleoclimatic proxy records.The crew of The Tempest led by Pathfinder Ryder in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Second, we demonstrate that the debilitating effect of finer temporal resolution can be predictably offset by compositing records across a wider area, and present a new two-dimensional formulation of stratigraphic completeness.

First, we document how stratigraphic completeness improves as the temporal discretization interval coarsens, and show that the primary cause of the missing time shifts from stasis to erosion as the discretization is coarsened. Here we evaluate the resultant stratigraphic incompleteness using a physical experiment with self-organized vertical scales of topography and lateral scales of geomorphic stasis. This has detrimental effects on the completeness of paleoclimatic and paleobiologic records. All stratigraphic sections within sedimentary basins experience varying episodes of erosion and geomorphic stasis during their accumulation. Alluvial stratigraphic records are notoriously incomplete.
