N7 is a vocational code in the Systems Alliance military. The "N" designates special forces and the "7" refers to the highest level of proficiency. It applies to marines who have graduated from an elite training program. Both David Anderson and Commander Shepard are classified as N7; Anderson was one of the first graduates. Appearances[edit] In Mass Effect, if Shepard is equipped with any weight of Onyx Armor, the distinctive N7 and red detail on the right arm will be emblazoned on it. In Mass Effect 2, the N7 emblem is visible on all customizable armor chest pieces except for the Kestrel Torso Sheath.

Trivia .According to The Art of Mass Effect, the red detail on the emblem symbolizes the human blood Shepard must sacrifice to stop Saren Arterius. .The red stripe is also a historical reference to the red stripes commanders wore on early space missions to make them instantly recognizable. .The Medal of Valor achievement (completing Mass Effect on Insanity difficulty) unlocks an N7 gamer pic. .The design is available as a t-shirt and hoody from the Bioware Store.
