Asari

The Asari are the oldest spacefaring species of the current cycle, discovering The Citadel and making true First Contact with another species before many races had even begun thinking about moving towards the stars. As such, they have held a prominent position in galactic politics since the foundation of the Citadel Council, and are widely considered the greatest natural diplomats within the known Milky Way galaxy.

Monogendered and physically constructed similarly to humanoid females, the asari are unique in their reproductive tactics in that they can produce offspring with all known sapient species. The natural abundance of Element Zero on their homeworld of Thessia has ensured the innate Biotic potential in all asari children is non-harmful and pervasive through genetics as well.
