Spectre - Master Gear
From Mass Effect Wiki
Spectre - Master Gear items are prototype equipment not available through regular vendors, and are essentially the ultimate weapons of Mass Effect, standing head and shoulders above anything else in the entire game. Only two merchants in the game sell this gear, the Normandy Requisitions Officer aboard the SSV Normandy and the C-Sec Requisitions Officer in C-Sec Academy.
If you have completed Admiral Ahern's wager on Pinnacle Station, Spectre gear (up to tier X) is also randomly given out at your apartment at your PC there (for 220, 000 credits).
To gain access to VII-level Spectre - Master Gear from the Alliance Requisition Officer or the C-Sec Requisition Officer, you must first unlock the "Rich" achievement by amassing one million credits. To gain the X-level gear, you need not only to unlock "Rich" but also to be at level fifty. The VII-level gear is available to all new careers once unlocked-but the X-level gear, the finest in the game, is available only to careers that have reached level 50 saved under a profile with the Rich achievement.
The name of each Spectre - Master Gear weapon (eight total, with one level VII and one level X of each of the four weapon types) begins with "HMW" and is immediately followed by one or two letters denoting its weapon type — A for assault rifle, P for pistol, SG for shotgun, and SR for sniper rifle.

[edit] Trivia
- The symbol for Spectre - Master Gear (see above) is the same as that on Richard L. Jenkins' beret.
- Visually, the arch with three stars within it is very similar to the emblem of the Systems Alliance, which is the same arch with a silhouette of Earth in it.
