Money and weapons funneled from the batarian government to criminal organizations led to many brutal raids on human colonies in the Verge, such as Mindoir, culminating in the Skyllian Blitz of 2176, an attack on the human colony of Elysium by batarian-funded pirates and slavers. When the Council refused, the batarians closed their Citadel embassy and severed diplomatic and economic relations, becoming an inward-looking rogue state. In 2171 the batarians asked the Citadel Council to intervene and declare the Verge an area of "batarian interest". In the mid-2160s, humans began to colonize the Skyllian Verge, a region the batarians were already actively settling. Sometime around 1785 CE, a batarian fleet bombarded the salarian colony world of Mannovai in 1913, the Batarian Hegemony annexed the independent asari colony of Esan and in 2115, Citadel forces skirmished with batarian forces on the planet Enael. The Citadel Council granted the batarians an embassy on the Citadel sometime after the volus, approximately a century after the batarians and Council had made first contact.ĭespite being welcomed into the galactic community, batarian aggression provoked several crises in galactic relations over the years. ![]() It is a batarian point of pride that, since the ruins were damaged by earthquakes, they had less information to go on than other spacefaring races. When the batarians achieved spaceflight, they discovered concealed Prothean ruins on Bira, a moon of Verush, that allowed them to develop FTL travel. At least one, Balak, has what appears to be a black and yellow striped pigmentation at the temples with light green facial ridges.īatarian blood has been observed to be red. These patterns are usually colored blue, black, or red, while the nose pattern is invariably red. Observed patterns include multiple chin stripes, a single strip running from the lower lip, or a thin dagger of color above the nose. Some batarians possess striped colorations on their heads. General batarian complexions include reddish-brown, greenish, yellow-greenish to yellow-brownish, light brown, and teal. Most batarians encountered by Shepard have a dark brown hue with pale facial ridges. The eyes are uniformly dark orbs, with no discernible irises or pupils.īatarians exhibit a wide range of skin tones and colors. ![]() The second set of eyes is smaller and closer together, set higher on the face, just beneath the middle of the forehead. One pair is set wide in prominent bony sockets protruding from the corners of theirįace. Their most distinctive physical feature is their four eyes, an uncommon trait among other races. ![]() Batarians' mouths are filled with dozens of sharp, needle-like teeth. ![]() Compared to humans, batarians have a deep, guttural voice. The part of their faces commonly associated with the nose among humans and asari is instead an inverted flat triangle symmetrically ridged vertically. They have ears pointy at the upper end, though on occasion along the edges as well. A flat stripe of ridged cartilage runs along the tops of their skulls and down the backs of their necks. Their faces are covered with short, fine hairs that grow longer and thicker around the mouth. Batarians are an anthropoidal race like humans and asari.
