The events of Mass Effect: Redemption will tie-in to downloadable content that will be produced for Mass Effect 2. According to Mac Walters, the comic mini-series will be "expanding on characters that we didn't really explore in [the first] Mass Effect and also looking at opportunities to expand on them even further in the DLC."^[1]

The narrative in Redemption begins with Commander Shepard mysteriously disappearing in the Terminus Systems, out of contact with the SSV Normandy and its crew. Both the Shadow Broker (working for the Collectors) and Liara T'Soni (helping Cerberus) are to find and retrieve the dead body of Commander Shepard. Just as Tazzik, an agent of the Shadow Broker wants to turn over the corpse to the Collectors, Liara manages to capture it, with the help of the drell Feron, who is captured in the process, and turn it over to Cerberus, hoping that they may be able to revive Shepard.
