The Mako is a fictional, futuristic [[Infantry fighting vehicle|IFV]] in [[BioWare]]'s video game [[Mass Effect]]. It is the players' primary method of ground exploration on planets that lack ports, or are uncharted. It is able to cover large distances and serves as an offensive and defensive tool in the game. Bioware has stated that they consider the Mako a character in its own right.

In the game Mass Effect, the Mako is of  [[Batarians (Mass Effect)|Batarian]] origin. It mounts a scope-enhanced cannon for offensive purposes. The scope can zoom in on enemies, allowing for more effective attacks. The Mako utilizes jump jets to traverse terrain quickly as well as to dodge enemy fire. It is deployed by means of an orbital drop, descending through a planet's atmosphere after being released from the cargo section of the [[Normandy (Mass Effect)|SSV Normandy]].
This spacecraft is very similar to the [[Ebon Hawk]] in Bioware's critically acclaimed [[Role-playing game|RPG]] ''Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I and II ''; the Normandy is larger though.

And as mentioned above, offers access to the galaxy map.


According to an August 2, 2007 [http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/810/810124p2.html IGN interview with Casey Hudson, BioWare Project Developer], the Mako will not be customizable in the first game. This was later proven true when the game was released when the only 'modification' allowed to the Mako was repair of damage using omni-gel.
