![]() ![]() This comparatively easy life, combined with their exceedingly high birth rate, allowed the krogan the time, numbers, and energy to spread through Citadel space, aggressively claiming formerly allied planets as their own. The peaceful home planet and better technology put less strain on the krogan as a species they no longer had to worry about simply surviving on a dangerous planet with primitive technology, as they did before contact with the salarians. The salarians provided the krogan with advanced technology and a new, tranquil home planet (in order to manipulate the krogan into eradicating the rachni for the Council). The salarians also played a significant role in the advancement of the krogan species. The League slaughtered the entire Union inner cabinet, but were later hunted down, leaving only relics behind. In a gesture of trust, the salarians opened the records of one of their intelligence services, the League of One, but this quickly created problems when the League's members found themselves in danger as a result. They opened diplomatic relations with the asari at once and became one of the founding species of the Citadel Council. In what became known as the Tecunis Expedition, the salarians discovered the Citadel only a few decades after the asari, making them only the second species to do so since the Prothean extinction. According to Kirrahe, those settlements "remain at the heart of salarian territory to this day". On their first three interstellar colonies, the salarians planted settlements named Aegohr, Mannovai, and Jaëto. In addition to livers, salarian kidneys were apparently best served at room temperature, preferably with the salarian still alive, as its fear adds "spice".Įventually, they progressed technologically to the point of colonizing planets beyond their own. They used to eat flies, licked their eyes, and their body parts were considered delicacies by the Protheans. According to Javik, the salarians of his time were classified as "lizard people". Salarians were already thriving on Sur'Kesh 50,000 years before the modern age, albeit in a thoroughly primitive state. They are, however, attracted to the asari, and one salarian notes that "even humans find the Consort irresistible." ![]() Reproduction is more of a necessity and salarians do not seem to desire sex for pleasure. Salarian sex drive and reproduction differ from that of humans, with Mordin Solus claiming that it is not hormone-based. This ensures the offspring have equal loyalty to both, ensuring the desired dynastic and political unity. ![]() During the hatching of daughters, the Dalatrasses of the mother and father’s clans are present at the imprinting. The young salarians psychologically imprint on her and tend to defer to her wishes. Salarian hatching is a solemn ritual in which the clan matriarch, known as the Dalatrass, isolates herself with the eggs. They also possess a form of psychological "imprinting", tending to defer to those they knew in their youth. Salarians have photographic memories and rarely forget a fact. Social rules prevent all but a fraction from being fertilized. Once a year, a salarian female will lay a clutch of dozens of eggs. The salarians are amphibian haplo-diploid egg-layers unfertilized eggs produce males and fertilized eggs produce females. The drawback of this active metabolism is a short lifespan of around 40 human years. Their minds and bodies work faster than most sapient races, making them seem restless or hyperactive. ![]() Salarians are noted for their high-speed metabolism, which allows them to function on just one hour of sleep a day. When salarians roll their eyes, it is not a sign of disdain as with humans, but rather a response to situations where the thin protective membranes require extra help in defending against dryness or irritants. Salarians blink upwards, rather than downwards as humans do. Salarians can see ultraviolet at the short-wavelength end of the spectrum. The pupils are a wide slit, oriented horizontally, and the irises can be dark green, purple, red, blue, or brown. Salarian eyes are large and oval and have thin membranes in place of eyelids. Salarians are androgynous, and exhibit no major facial differences between males and females. Skin varies in color, from bright reds and greens to the more common shades of blue or grey. Salarian heads are long and thin, and have a pair of horns protruding from the top of their skulls. The salarians are a bipedal race of amphibians, with tall, elongated bodies well-suited for their high metabolism, and skeletons composed of more cartilage than those of other races such as humans. ![]()
