Turians

Turians are a militaristic race of beings from the planet Palaven. They are a member of the League military and also of the Tri-Council, which holds stewardship over their particular sector of the Galaxy as well as the Mass Relays. Turians and Elites form the backbone of the League Security Forces as well as being a major part of the League Government.

The Turians were brought to the brink of extinction during their war with the Reapers after their homeworld was razed, but luckily thanks to help from the Humans the race is back on its feet. Turian society is based on warfare and honor, but unlike the Elites they are not prone to being deceived or controlled by higher powers.
