The ship is very similar to the Systems Alliance's SSV Normandy SR-1, having been based on the design layout of the original. The SR-2 would see action during operations against both the Collectors and Reapers in the latter half of the decade under Shepard's command before relinquishing control of the vessel to his successor Ashley Williams in 2187. The ship previously served as the headquarters of the Lazarus Cell. The Illusive Man had Cerberus build the SR-2 for the newly revived Commander John Shepard's team to aid him in his mission to stop the Collectors' galaxy-wide campaign of human abductions.
The Normandy SR-2 is a starship that appears in 2185, and serves as the 'successor' to the SR-1. 6 Forward Facing Chimera-class Autocannons.
