Asari

Asari 阿莎利

取得地點：

The asari were the first species to discover the Citadel. When the salarians arrived, it was the asari who proposed the establishment of the Citadel Council to maintain peace throughout the galaxy. Since then, the asari have served as the mediators and centrists of the Council.

An all-female race, the asari reproduce through a form of parthenogenesis. They can attune their nervous system to that of another individual of any gender, and of any species, to reproduce. This capability has led to unseemly and inaccurate rumors about asari promiscuity.

Asari can live for over 1,000 years, passing through three stages of life. In the Maiden stage, they wander restlessly, seeking new knowledge and experience. When the Matron stage begins, they "meld" with interesting partners to produce their offspring. This ends when they reach the Matriarch stage, where they assume the roles of leaders and councilors.

阿莎利族是第一個發現要塞太空站的種族。當索拉瑞安族到達後，也是阿莎利族提出建議成立要塞議會來維護銀河系的和平。從此以後，阿莎利族成為扮演議會調停者與中間派的角色。

阿莎利全族都是女性，經由單性生殖的型式繁衍後代。她們能協調自己的神經系統與其他任何性別，任何種族的個體配合，來進行繁殖。此種能力引來阿莎利族性喜濫交這種不得宜與錯誤的謠傳。

阿莎利族壽命可達1000年，歷經三個人生階段。在少女階段她們不停流浪，探究新知識與經驗。當婦女階段開始，她們與意中人“融合”以產生後代。最後進入族母階段，此時她們擔當領袖與顧問的角色。

Salarians

Salarians 索拉瑞安

取得地點：

The second species to join the Citadel, the salarians are warm-blooded amphibians with a hyperactive metabolism. Salarians think fast, talk fast, and move fast. To salarians, other species seem sluggish and dull-witted. Unfortunately, their metabolic speed leaves them with a relatively short life span; salarians over the age of 40 are a rarity.

The salarians were responsible for advancing the development of the primitive krogan species to use as soldiers during the Rachni Wars. They were also behind the creation of the genophage bioweapon the turians used to quell the Krogan Rebellions several centuries later.

Salarians are known for their observational capacity and non-linear thinking. This manifests as an aptitude for research and espionage. They are constantly experimenting and inventing, and it is generally accepted that they always know more than they're letting on.

索拉瑞安族是第二個加入要塞太空站的種族，他們是新陳代謝活躍的溫血兩生族。索拉瑞安族想的快，說的快，動得也快。對索拉瑞安族來說，其他種族看起來既遲鈍又愚笨。不幸地，他們新陳代謝的速度使他們有較短的生命周期；超過40歲的索拉瑞安族相當少見。

索拉瑞安族一手主導讓原始克羅根族提昇文明發展好讓他們在蟲族戰爭中充當士兵。他們也是噬基因體生物武器的幕後功臣，圖瑞安族用它來弭平數百年後發生的克羅根之亂。

索拉瑞安族以觀察能力和另類思考方式聞名。這種特質無疑地讓他們擁有研究發展與情報滲透工作的天賦。他們不停的實驗與發明，大眾普遍認為他們實際知道的比公開的還多。

Turians

Turians 圖瑞安

取得地點：

Roughly 1,200 years ago, the turians were invited to join the Citadel Council to fulfill the role of galactic peacekeepers. The turians have the largest fleet in Citadel space, and they make up the single largest portion of the Council's military forces.

As their territory and influence has spread, the turians have come to rely on the salarians for military intelligence and the asari for diplomacy. Despite a somewhat colonial attitude towards the rest of the galaxy, the ruling Hierarchy understands they would lose more than they would gain if the other two races were ever removed.

Turians come from an autocratic society that values discipline and possesses a strong sense of personal and collective honor. There is lingering animosity between turians and humans over the First Contact War of 2157, which is known as the "Relay 314 Incident" to the turians. Officially, however, the two species are allies and they enjoy civil, if cool, diplomatic relations.

大約1200年前，圖瑞安族受邀加入要塞議會身肩銀河和平維護者的角色。圖瑞安族有全要塞空域最大的艦隊，他們也佔有議會軍力的一大部份。

隨著領土與影響力擴大，圖瑞安族開始依靠索拉瑞安族與阿莎利族，提供軍事情資與外交折衝。僅管對銀河系的其他種族抱持些許的殖民者心態，但統治階級政府明白消除另外兩個種族將會得不償失。

圖瑞安族成長於一個重視紀律且對個人與團體榮譽感十分強烈的專制社會。因為2157年的第一次接觸戰爭，圖瑞安族稱之為“314轉運站事故”，使圖瑞安與人類之間餘恨難消。然而，在官方上兩族之間仍是同盟並且滿足於友好，但冷淡的外交關係。
