"The strong have earned the right to be cruel."

— A common Prothean proverb

Prothean (Latin: Oblitus Princeps, literally meaning "forgotten ruler") is an extinct species of sentient/sapient organic bipedal people that were native to their former homeworld of Malantor (modern-day Freedom's Progress). Achieving interstellar travel in 76831 BCE, the protheans quickly spread in their conquests to conquer the entire known galaxy during the prothean cycle, conquering all races within their sphere of influence. They were later invaded by the Reapers, where they were driven to complete extinction. Despite this, many managed to survive the Reaper cycles and survived into the asari cycle.
