Krogan

Due to the brutality of their homeworld, natural selection has played a significant role in the evolution of the Krogan. Krogan typically stand over 7 feet and weigh roughly one ton in armor. Their large shoulder humps store fluids and nutrients, enabling them to survive extended periods without food or water. A bigger shoulder hump is seen as a sign of high status, showing how successful an individual krogan is at hunting. Their thick hides are virtually impervious to cuts, scrapes or contusions, and they are highly resistant to environmental hazards, including toxins, radiation, and extreme heat and cold. Younger krogan have yellow or green markings on their hides. These markings darken to brown or tan over time, showing their age.

For a long time, Krogans made up a fundamental military part of the United Galactic Alliance, but early in the Alliance's life, the Krogans were reproducing too quickly and becoming much more powerful than any other member. An arm of the UGA Galactic Security division, without consent of the Senate (so history says), introduced a virus to the Krogan homeworld which destroyed many Krogan's abilities to reproduce. Angry, and their number's dwindling, they removed themselves from the UGA (the first species to do so).

They have since recovered from the virus, but reproduction remains much slower than it had been in the past. They are currently unaffliated with the United Galactic Alliance, and save for some radicals, they have never acted against the UGA militarily.
