"When you can't outgun your enemy, out think them. That is what salarians do."

— Professor Mordin Solus.

Salarians (Latin: Callidus Decipitur, literally meaning "clever deceiver") are a sentient/sapient organic bipedal species native to their homeworld of Sur'Kesh and of the amphibian classification. Achieving interstellar travel in 600 BCE, the salarians would be the second species on the galactic scene in the asari cycle, where they would encounter the asari and establish the Citadel Council. The salarians are the masters of intelligence and espionage, possessing a metabolism that gives them access to a higher range of thinking. They are logical and expedient, quick and agile.
