Mass Effecct RPG - Part 20 - Odds n' Sods
Normandy SR-1
The SSV Normandy SR-1 was a Systems Alliance starship developed in cooperation with the Turian Hierarchy. She was the first prototype of a ‘deep scout’ frigate and lends her name to the class. She had state of the art stealth technology, an outsized Mass Effect core and considerable range, though she lacked punch. She was eventually destroyed in a clash with The Collectors.
