"We were a proud race! A beautiful race! And now here I am, with what shred of a fleet we have left, begging a human of all things for aid! So don't be surprised when I ask for a compromise!"

— Balak Uhtero to the war summit over Mannovai.

Batarian (Latin: Zelotes Tyranno, literally meaning "zealous tyrant") are a sentient/sapient organic bipedal species native to their homeworld of Khar'Shan and of the reptilian classification. Achieving interstellar travel in 1085 CE, the batarians joined the galactic community very late into the asari cycle. After the fall of the Republic and the formation of the Hegemony, the batarians became far more oppressive and tyrannic, becoming arrogant, stubborn and isolationist.
