HISTORY
Born on the Citadel space station in 2163. With informal training aided by Alec Ryder's N7 background. Sara joined the Systems Alliance military, which was continuing its search for Prothean technology after successful discoveries on Mars. Initially assigned to peacekeeping duties.
Sara was approached to serve a support role for these Prothean researchers. She often describes the thrill of serving with scientists like Mateus Silva on the brink of the next great discovery.
TRAINING
When a fight broke out, you were always the first soldier in the thick of it - mostly according to Alliance military protocol, and occasionally not.
( benefits )
Combat Fitness - Grants increased durability and the option to carry more weapons into battle.
PRIORITY OPS
( prologue ) : EXPLORED
- Alec Ryder was proud of Sara's initiative to explore all aspects of Habitat 7, to which Sara responded that that was why they were here after all.
( a better beginning - eos ) : RESEARCH OUTPOST
- Two things led to this decision - 1. Sara didn't want their first outpost to put out to the Heleus Cluster that they were here to take over by force and 2. Her father instilled in her a sense of exploration. It's why she came to Andromeda, why all of them did, and she doesn't want the people of the Initiative to lose sight of why they're really here.
( hunting the archon - sloane kelly deal ) : DID NOT ACCEPT
- Believing that Vehn Terev should be tried by his own people, Ryder did not agree with Sloane Kelly's idea. Later, she helped to free him to return to his people to face them for his part in the Moshae's catpure.
( hunting the archon - flagship ) : SAVED KROGAN SCOUTS
- It was a hard decision Ryder still agonizes over, but ultimately she decided to help Drack and his people out with the knowledge that at least someone else could take over Pathfinder like she had.
( a trial of hope ) : SAVED ANGARA - KILLED CARDINAL
- There was no way Ryder wasn't saving the Angara still in the facility,
even if she knows she should come back later to really destroy the facility.
However, when the Cardinal started talking about "seeing her way," Ryder's finger may have slipped on the trigger.
( dissension in the ranks ) : REFUSED DEAL WITH THE PRIMUS
- Because she didn't take the deal with Primus to start with. Dissent in the ranks was to her advantage regardless, but after what she's seen of the kett and what they've done there was no way she was helping the Primus. Even if just to make her fight a little easier.
( meridian - dunn's survival ) : DUNN LIVED
- With the aid of three Pathfinders, Dunn survived crashing the Hyperion despite believing she would die.
( epilogue ) : MOSHAE AS AMBASSADOR
- The choices were: Dunn, Hayjer, Morda, and Moshae Sjefa. Hayjer was off the table, the salarians had a lot of heat lately and he was a Pathfinder like Ryder. Too much room for favoritism. While Ryder did want to give a voice to the Krogan, Morda was definitely not the one to be that voice. Dunn and the Moshae were close choices, but Ryder felt that it would be better for relations if she chose a native to speak for the natives.
LOYALTY MISSIONS
( liam's ) : LET VERAND BE
- Verand already proved to protect the information that Liam had given her. And while it all could have been done better, Liam's head and heart were in the right place to strengthen relations.
( cora's ) : SARISSA'S SECRET KEPT
- Ryder prides herself on honesty, but she's taken the hit honesty-wise from time to time for the good of the Initiative. She hated just letting Sarissa off, but Sarissa was a capable Pathfinder, and the people needed to keep their spirits up with her as leader.
( jaal's ) : DIDN'T KILL AKKSUL
- Probably would have if he'd killed Jaal, but she trusted Jaal and she didn't want to prove Akksul right about aliens.
( peebee's ) : SAVED KALINDA
- Ryder would never sacrifice a life for an object, but it meant even more to her to save Kalinda when Peebee chose to sacrifice it for her. Peebee had wanted mystery and discovery so bad, but even she wouldn't sacrifice a life for it.
( drack's ) : ALLOWED AROANE TO FALL
- Maybe a little more caught up in the moment than she should have been, Ryder let Drack choose what to do about Aroane. It was his people, his fight.
( gil's ) : CHEATED AT POKER - CONFESSED
- She was just messing around, wanted to knock Gil's arrogance down a peg or two. But just for a moment, she confessed to cheating after.
( kallo's ) : SIDED WITH GIL
- Having a great respect for Kallo and his team, Sara sided with Gil. Logically, the ship needs to be fixed to meet unforeseen demands.
B-STORIES
( krogan exodus ) : JAILED SPENDER
- Spender really messed around in a big way, and exiles' lives aren't so bad. Jailing him seemed more punishing.
( truth and trespass ) : ARRESTED ADEN
- What Dr. Aden did was unforgivable, despite her not wanting the lives sacrificed to be in vain. Ryder didn't want to promote this kind of behavior.
( turian ark ) : CONVINCED AVITUS TO BE PATHFINDER
- He was a good choice, even if he was nervous. Sara hoped it would help Avitus cope with losing Macen as well.
( ryder family ) : FOUND ALL MEMORIES
- Ryder unlocked all of her father's memories. She learned a lot about her family, the Milky Way, and the Initiative from her father's memories.
HUBS AND UNCS-RELATED
( nexus - protests ) : FORCIBLY REMOVED
- There wasn't much option here for Sara, but people weren't able to be taken out of cryo yet and they were posing a danger with their protests. Sara did what she thought her father would have.
( path of a hero ) : HELP KERI PRODUCE A PIECE
- Tried to stay truthful most of the time, mostly so the Initiative didn't feel lied to but understood things were being handled.
( nexus saboteur ) : TURNED OVER
- Easy wrap up, and exile was never the right answer.
( first murderer ) : RELEASED
- He technically didn't do it, even if he wanted to. That's a separate kind of charge.
( knight's status ) : TALKED DOWN PEACEFULLY
- After helping Alain, Knight was willing to resolve things peacefully.
( oblivion formula ) : RETURNED TO DR. NAKAMOTO
- Taking a risk that Dr. Nakamoto wasn't playing her, Sara trusted the doctor and returned the medicine to him.
( kadara murders ) : SOLVED
- Took out the Roekkar faction responsible for the murders.
( kadara factions ) : COLLECTIVE ON TOP
- Reluctantly, she sided with Reyes. She felt that Reyes would work best with Nexus after what happened with the exiles. She was upset that Reyes lied to her and used her.
( elaaden ) : REMNANT CORE GIVEN TO KROGANS
- Feeling like the Krogans had a rough start, Ryder decided they deserved the core after how they handled themselves during the adversity.
