Krogan

The Krogan are a species from the Mass Effect universe

Attributes

Krogan are large, heavily built reptile like humanoids. Krogan are strong, durable and adaptable creatures with live spans measured in centuries.

History

The Krogan Homeworld of Tuchanka was home to a wide array of agressive fauna, which was only pushed back after the Krogan developed arms technology, eventually devestating their planet in nuclear war. Harsh conditions (either from the local ecology or brought about by thermonuclear devestation) kept their populations in check. Expansion into space began after the Salarians transported Krogan off their homeworld and were given advanced technology so they could fight another species (the Rachni). The Krogan won, but they became a problem themselves when removed from their home environment, where the hostile environment kept their numbers in check. To mitigate the new Krogan threat, the Salarians introduced a genetically engineered disease called the Genophage to the Krogan population, sharply reducing their fertility.

Threat Assesment

While individual krogan are often quite strong, as a political faction the Krogan are of marginal importance in the mass effect universe. The Krogan are diveded into numerous armed camps which fued with each other and their reproduction rates have been considerably compromised by the Genophage, barely meeting replacement rates.
