"This is my home. I have more right to fight for it than you do."

— Joseph Summers to Marcus L. Shepard

Lance Corporal Joseph Summers was a marine in the Systems Alliance Marine Corps who served in Charlie Squad, a unit of the 17th Shock Troops Company. Born on Elysium, Joseph was raised by a family of conscientious objectors who strongly disapproved of his interest in joining the military: in spite of their chagrin, Joseph joined the marines when he was 18, booking passage to Ferris Fields as soon as he could. Upon completion of his training, his unit, Charlie squad, assigned to the 52nd Valhalla Garrison, Joseph joking that it was poetic that he was to be chosen to defend his home planet. When the Grand Slaver Army of the Verge invaded the planet in 2176 CE, Joseph was the second to accept Shepard's command upon Donald Korin's death. Joseph wanted to stay behind with Shepard, but instead aided the rest of Charlie squad in protecting evacuating civilians. Joseph fought valiantly, but ultimately died during the course of the battle.
