Prothean Beacon

Item from Mass Effect by BioWare

An ancient Prothean memory device — the one on Eden Prime gave Shepard visions of the Reaper cycle that everything in the trilogy flows from.

Also known as: Prothean Beacon, The Beacon

What They Know

Found on Eden Prime by Saren Arterius's advance force; Saren destroyed it rather than allow the Alliance to study it — except one beacon survived
Delivered visions of the Reaper extinction cycle directly into Shepard's neural pathways; required Liara's expertise to interpret because Prothean encoding is species-specific
The information from the Beacon became the foundation of Shepard's intelligence about the Reaper threat and the driving evidence for the Council investigation of Saren
Multiple Beacons existed across Prothean space — they were the civilization's last attempt to warn whoever survived the next cycle
