The turians are a major race in Mass Effect with Citadel Council membership. Their faction is officially named the Turian Hierarchy.

Attributes

Turians are avian in their physique, but other than that their physical and mental attributes are little different than humans. They evolved a rough leathery skin to protect from the harsh solar radiation on their homeworld Palaven, but this skin provides no real protection from modern weapons.

Organization

The turians are the most militaristic of the Citadel Council races; every turian citizen is expected to serve in the military at some point in their lives. Their government is a "hierarchal meritocracy"; turian citizens move up through tiers of responsibility and privilege as determined by the assessment of their superiors. Their are 37 tiers of turian citizenship, the highest being the Primarchs, each of which governs a colonial cluster and votes on matters of national importance.

The turians joined the Citadel Council after the Krogan Rebellions. As the krogan were fighting and winning against the salarians and asari, they stumbled upon turian space. The krogan immediately tried to conquer the turians, but the turians proved resilient and turned the tide of the war. In the end though, the turians resorted to releasing the Genophage biological weapon developed by the salarians to severely limit the krogan birth rate. A millenium later the turians would be the first alien race to make contact with the human faction in Mass Effect, the Systems Alliance, resulting in a brief war. After the initial hostility, the turians worked together with the Systems Alliance on joint military projects, such as the prototype stealth frigate SSV Normandy SR-1.

Threat Assessment

The Turian Hierarchy is ostensibly the most powerful Council faction in Mass Effect, only rivaled by the Systems Alliance. Treaties in Mass Effect limit the amount of dreadnoughts other factions can build relative to the turians. As a result, the turians have the largest amount of dreadnoughts of the Citadel races, numbered at 39.
