Mass effect universe: Help me think of quests/random events for a D20 future game?

I was hoping you guys could pitch me some ideas, as I'm trying to design a mass effect universe for a D&D campaign.
(I'm going to be using D20 future rules mixed with D&D 3.5 rules as i see fit.)
It's not going to be exactly like it is in mass effect by any means. For instance the reapers are just going to be a synthetic race that wanders the outskirts of the galaxy. Maybe I'll think of another far less dramatic purpose for them.
There will probably be different races in the game too. Ideas for other races would be appreciated.
Also looking for tech related ideas. It's going to be hard to make a world with realistic use of future technologies.

cool. i don't play D&D, and i'd suck major dong at it, i'm sure. but Mass Effect is a pretty sweet kinda universe to spawn some D&D from.

thank you.
I just had a great idea. The wandering reapers will sometimes join forces with geth colonies. Be them independent geth or ones tied to the original geth world.
i like it

yeah they do. But I wanted my story to take place maybe a few hundred years before the events of the games.
And just completely change what the reapers are

Gotta have element zero exposure so you can do some bad ass biotic shit like lift and warp them to blow thier heads off. Couple tribes could split off from the geth and actually be all hippie like (you know all life is sacred and shit). Since this would be before me1 could there be hot quarians without suits?

hahaha
I'm trying to make a chart for futuristic armor since the one in D20 future is pretty lame. It's hard to make it balanced though
There are really good rules for starship battles. So I think I'm going to customize my own ship and basically play star trek but in this universe.

I think I will focus the game a lot of geth culture. The evolution of sapient synthetics
