Why? We only know that they came from a certain mass relay and was killed about 2000 years ago - not that they haven't been around long before that.

Because if we assume the gap between the Prothean Extinction and Sovereign's attack on the Citadel to be an average, there have been roughly twenty thousand Reaper cullings of any life advanced enough to use the Mass Relays between the approximate time of the Leviathan of Dis and the Mass Effect timeline.

The idea that the rachni hide for 999,998,000 years and then get Indoctrinated when Sovereign rolls around is kind of absurd.

Or maybe they were not worth the reapers notice,  Humans have been around alot longer than 50,000 yrs and the reapers never bothered with Earth

[Commander Steve]

reapers take ALL intelligent life they find in the galaxy, worth notice or not. humans and monkeys were sharing the same ancestor 50,000 years ago.

[vehzeel]

Don't they only kill off all intelligent life-forms? It seems like they only attack those systems they know are populated. Because 50.000 years is too short a span to produce a star-faring race out of proto-organisms.

[CmdrKankrelat]

I think the Reapers kill off any civilization that has come to use the Mass Relays/Citadel, and any civilization who knows about them, rather than just intelligent life in general. So if the 50,000 years are up and your civilization has its capital on the Citadel, you're hosed. But if your civilization is still at a Victorian England-level of development, then the Reapers will pass you over for the time being.

no in me 2 there is a planet that was the homeworld of a species entering the bronze age. "dreadnought bombardment" was the reason they arent present in the citadel. and vehzeel are you implying the rachni arent intelligent?

[Turian L0RD]

I just believe its a reaper.It could be refrenced as a corpse(Because it is part organic) or a wreck.

Ah, you mean Aphras. To quote, "All else has suffered from an extinction event - a series of massive impacts that vaporized vast quantities of water and lofted dust into its atmosphere. Early theories that this event was a collision with a fragmenting asteroid have now been discounted - the impact craters were aimed directly at habitation centers."
There isn't even a time frame given for that event. Maybe the Protheans were jerks.

No, I'm not. They just could've been sending out "spore-ships" to other systems before they discovered the mass relays.

and This young woman lived between 100,000 and 90,000 years ago.
 Her skull and mandible were found in a cave in Israel in 1969 along with the remains of 20 others.
 The size of their skulls was higher than that of the average person today

Bloody Reapers killed the dinosaurs!

ok so i exagerated a little lol but the point is we were not civilised when the reapers came along so we were spared the reapers wrath.

[Sunriseray]

I think Leviathan of Dis is a Reaper, and it wasn't dead but dormant, cause after it was discovered by Batarians, it disappeared. Maybe that Reaper was left behind to open the Conduit when the time for Harvest will come? Just like Sovereign...

It would be interesting if it did happen to have something to do with the Reapers... but realistically, the entry just seems to be a homage to Farscape. The fact the series happens to have a race of genetically engineered living ships called Leviathans seems to be too much of a coincidence.

It's not like ME1 and 2 make homages to other sci-fi. There's references in there to everything from Forbidden Planet to 2001.

[FrancisKitt]

The organic thing makes me think Collectors. Purely hypothetical here, but the Leviathan could easily be a ship left over from a repurposed race similar to the Collectors. Possibly.

[drak4806.2]

It could also be a homage to the Tyranids from Warhammer 40,000

[Kid_SixXx]

Add me to the "I thought it was Moya from Farscape" contingent.

[The Unfallen]

Guys.



I think it is obvious this is one of the remains of the races that came before the Protheans.



I doubt it is a Reaper.

Obviously BW writers are ST: TNG Fans

Or as mentioned before, they are Farscape fans.



That being said, the episode, Tin Man, and the alien starship, Gomtuu, does pre-date Farscape and the Leviathan, Moya, by about nine years.

An ancient Prothean ship perhaps?

Billion years old. Assuming the present cycle represents an average, 20 galactic cullings between its existence and the Protheans. Unlikely.
