*CurbStompBattle: The first contact incident between the Turians and Humans happens quite differently; because XCOM thrives on fighting aliens, and carries a massive fleet of drones armed with energy weapons and portal technology, the battle ends fairly quickly with few human casualties, and the Turians responsible for the incident captured. The battle goes so poorly, in fact, that the Asari have to rush in to stop the fighting before the Turians decide to get serious.
**The codex entry for the coalition calls the battle the "Second Contact Incident" rather than the "First Contact War" in the original Mass Effect. Compared to the Ethereal war, this is just another day for XCOM.
