We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Garrus Vakarian — In Mass Effect 3, Garrus serves as a combat squadmate on ground missions (e.g., Palaven) rather than manning a 'tactical station' on the Normandy SR-2.
Legion — The encyclopedia entry incorrectly states that Legion's physical appearance changes based on installed upgrades; canonically, his visual model remains static in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 regardless of loadout choices.
Grunt — The entry claims Shepard woke Grunt with the proposition to 'help cure the genophage later,' which is factually incorrect; in Mass Effect 2, Grunt was recruited solely to fight the Collectors, and the Genophage cure plotline belongs to Mass Effect 3.
Grunt — The Stats section lists Primary Weapon Proficiency as 'Shotguns and Heavy Assault Rifles,' incorrectly implying a limitation for a Soldier class character who can utilize all weapon types available to the class, including Sniper Rifles.
Samara — The entry incorrectly states the Ardat-Yakshi condition makes biotic melding lethal for carriers; canonically it kills partners.
Samara — The entry claims Samara's armor is unique among Asari characters, but other Asari (e.g., Commandos) wear armored plating.
Zaeed Massani — Birth Year Error: Zaeed's birth year is approximately 2148 to allow for adult service during the First Contact War (2157–2159), making a 2160 date factually incorrect.
Zaeed Massani — Loyalty Mission Uniqueness Claim: Miranda and Jacob also face significant binary moral choices in their loyalty missions, contradicting the claim that Zaeed's dilemma is unique.
Citadel Council — The entry incorrectly claims the Council ignored warnings from Saren Arterius; canon confirms Saren was a traitor and Shepard issued the warning.
Citadel Council — The entry incorrectly states the Council dismissed the Reaper threat for centuries; canon establishes they were unaware of Reapers for approximately 50,000 years until Mass Effect 1.
Geth — The entry incorrectly claims the VI packet grants sentience; canon establishes Geth were already sentient in ME1, with the upgrade granting individuality.
Geth — The entry incorrectly states 'Geth' does not translate to 'god'; ME1 Codex explicitly derives the term from the Quarian word for 'Gods'.
Batarians — The entry states the Batarian defeat by the Turians occurred 'roughly three decades before First Contact.' Canonically, the Batarian-Turian War ended in 2153 CE, which is approximately four years before the First Contact War (2157 CE), not three decades prior.
Batarians — The entry states the Batarians abandoned their empire 'roughly 50 years prior to the start of Mass Effect.' Canonically, the war concluded roughly 30 years prior to the events of Mass Effect (2183 CE).
