Eclipse is a mercenary corporation that was founded by asari commando Jona Sederis. They provide effective security and firepower for prospective employers. They have few scruples about the nature of those who hire them, so long as they can afford their services. Eclipse mercenaries work in teams of troopers and vanguards which may be led by more experienced commando units. They often utilise mech support in battle.

Eclipse in general seems to favor stealth, discrimination, and "intelligent" ways of conducting battles. They are primarily made up of asari, salarians and humans. They have a large number of Vanguards in their employ, and have many tech and biotic-based resources. Eclipse also employs a large amount of YMIR, FENRIS, and LOKI Mechs. Eclipse also has many ventures that delve into smuggling; they control nearly 20% of all smuggling on Omega, and specialize in transporting illicit goods and criminals from place to place.

Prospective Eclipse operatives, at least on Illium, are rumored to have to successfully commit a murder before they are given their uniform. This rumor turns out to be quite true in at least one case.

Eclipse mercenaries can be identified by yellow or black armor featuring the Eclipse logo, a solar eclipse crossed in the center by a capital letter E.

Eclipse mercenaries are not as disciplined as their more established rivals in the Blue Suns, but make up for this with cutting edge equipment and weaponry, as well as their extensive use of biotics.

Mass Effect 2 Edit

In 2185, Eclipse are encountered on Omega, where their commander, Jaroth, is seeking revenge on the masked vigilante Archangel for killing his brother and disrupting his operations. Upon further investigation, Shepard learns that Archangel is Garrus Vakarian, and the two fight off Jaroth's team, killing Jaroth in the process.

Nassana Dantius employs Eclipse mercenaries on Illium to protect her from the drell assassin, Thane Krios. Shepard must fight through numerous Eclipse troopers in an effort to locate the assassin. In one scene, Shepard confronts a lone Eclipse trooper and interrogates him. Shepard has the option to extract information non-violently or lose patience and defenestrate him.

While trying to recruit Samara on Illium, Shepard is tasked with finding the name of the ship that transported Morinth off world from an elite group of Eclipse mercenaries known as "the Sisterhood." They primarily recruit young asari, who as part of their initiation into the group must perform one murder.

Eclipse troops are also hired by Niket to transport Oriana, and form the majority of the opposition Shepard's team faces. At least one member of this team is a Vanguard.

On Bekenstein, Eclipse provides security for Donovan Hock. Some of the guards assigned to Hock's estate wear uniforms with an inverted color scheme (black armor with a white logo) to differentiate themselves from the standard troops. Several members of this unit are killed by Shepard and Kasumi Goto.

Mass Effect 3 Edit

During the Reaper Invasion, Aria will be attempting to unite Eclipse, Blood Pack, and Blue Suns under her leadership so she can take back Omega, from which Cerberus drove her out. Aria bargains with Shepard that the Commander will have the mercenaries' support against the Reapers if Shepard helps her assume control over them.

Shepard can choose to assist by either persuading Commander Bailey to release Jona Sederis from imprisonment, or by persuading Sayn to assume leadership of Eclipse.
