The initial 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect trilogy — an action-adventure RPG series from Bioware — took place in the Milky Way. Gamers couldn't leave the galaxy, but there was plenty to keep them busy at ho🌞me, anyway. Galactic politics are no cake-walk, and the long, sordid in-game history of the Milky Way is worrisome at best.
The sentient races who have achieved space travel are divided into those who have aligned with the Citadel Council, the center of galactic government run by the Asari, Turians, and Salarians, and those who have not. Most ra✃ces with any diplomatic sense and of significant population size have joined the Council. This is your refresher course on the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Humans
Humanity had only known of the Council's existence for just under 30 years by the time of the first Mass Effect game in 2183 CE. They had been rapidly𓆉 developing their technology🦩 and exploring mass relays for some time since the late 21st century.
In the games, it's detailed that Earth has a population of 11.4 billion, with another 250,000 people on spac💖e stations controlled by humanity. Fans estimate that there may be another billion spread out among various colonies, ships, and other stations, but most agree that hum🐎ans cannot number more than 15 billion people.
Asari
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Asari are one of the oldest races in 💦ꦅthe galaxy and, as a result, are thought by many to be the most e♐legant, influential, well-respected, and diplomatic species. They are mono-gendered, so the entire race presents as female (though they may have their own unique pronoun preferences).
Asari live extraordinarily long liv൲es, but that doesn't mean their population is huge — most Asari (who live to mate) only have two or three children. Their home planet is estimated to house 5.5 billion people. The Asari were on♏e of the earliest space-faring species, so there may be more Asari off-world, but fans estimate there are no more than 10 billion Asari in the galaxy.
Drell
The Drell are a s🃏eldom-seen reptile species in Mass Effect. T🌳heir homeworld, Rakhana, was disastrously overpopulated and they were doomed to die out — until the Hanar found their planet in the 1980s CE and took pity on them.
There aren't many D💦rell in the world. The Hanar could only bring 375,000 Drell to the Hanar homeworld. Though the Drell population has surely recovered since then, a lack of their own homeworld would make this difficult. There are probably less than a billion Drell in the Galaxy.
Elcor
Elcor ar🅠e a slow-moving species because their homeworld has such high gravity that even a small fall can be fatal. They do have facial expressions, but most other races cannot understand them because they are so slight and small (not to mention their unfamiliar🙈 face shape and layout).
The Elcor homeworld, Dekuuna, is said to have a population of 2.35 billion on꧙ it. It's assumed that 𓃲there aren't many more Elcor than this out and about in the Galaxy; Shepard doesn't spy many Elcor in their travels, and they're known to highly value close-knit family relationships.
Hanar
The Hanar are a race of jellyfis𝄹h-like, genderless invertebrates which live underwater. They can only exist in normal gravity environments with the help of mass effect fields that support and levitate them.
Kahje, the Hanar homeworld, is 90% water, making it difficult for other races to visit much. Thus, their total population is a mystery. It's suggeste🐭d that they probably number between 5 and 10 billion, but it's difficult to be sure.
Keepers
. They were discovered when the Asari first found the Citadel, and seemed to be workers made for the purpose of maintaining the station. It's later rev🐟ealed that they are actually under Reaper control, and are meant to keep the Station attractive for sentient life to settle on. All of them are indoctrinated by the Reapers.
It's unclear to𒀰 the player how many Keepers are on the Citadel, but to maintain a station of that size, fans assume there must be thousands, at least! In the first Mass Effect game, there are 21 Kꦉeepers that Shepard can find across the Citadel while gathering research for a scientist.
Turians
The Turian culture is militaristic and diꦿsciplined.ꦡ Turians dౠo mandatory military and public service; they and their ships make up a huge portion of the Citadel Fleet. They have a poor relationship with humans due to the First Contact War when the two races fought one another.
The Turian homeworld, Palaven, is said to have a population of 6.1 billion, with another 350,000 people on stations that orbit the planet. However, with such a heavy military spread out across the galaxy, it's safe to assume there are a lot more Turians out there. Many fans find it hard to believe there are fewer Turians than Humans, and that the two races must at least be at the same population level.
Volus
The Volus are a short, stout race of merchants and traders. They've carved out a niche of trading and economic expertise since they cannot compete with other races. Many Volus are bitter that there is not a Volus representative on the Citadel Council, considering how 🌟important their race is to the economy.
The Volus homeworld is Irune, a planet where the ecology is ammonia-based and other races cannot breathe. The population there is 8.8 billion, and many ot꧂her Volus are spread out on trading routes throughout the galaxy. Fans estimate that they number around 10 billion.
Batarians
The Batari♚ans are a four-eyed species that hasn't officially signed on to the Citadel Council's rules. They're not viewed highly by most other races because they often form pirate gangs and slavery is still legal on their homeworld, Khaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚr'shan.
Since Khar'shan is not a Citadel planet, the population numbers come directly from the Batarian government propaganda. They'd suggest that the world has a 15 billion population and an economy as good as, or better than,🔯 the Asari. However many people do live on Khar'shan, the Batarian population is probably much larger, given how many of them choose to be mercenaries, pirates, or slav🐬ers off-world.
Collectors
The Collectors appear in Mass Effect as servants of the Reapers, but ♛have been around long before the trilogy began. They were thought by some to be a myth, but th🌃ey did appear every once in a while to trade their advanced technology. In return for their tech, they are known to ask for living beings.
Due to these seldom and ominous appearances, it's not clear how many 🍸Collectors actually exist. However, there's definitely enough to start attacking Shepard in Mass Effect 2.
