I'm always wondering in sci-fi shows why the planets are often separated by species. I understand certain species can't live alongside each other due to the their living conditions, but there are other species like Asari who would be able to live on Earth, maybe turians if there are supermarkets for them. Could an Earth Asari be promoted to high rank or is it just humans. There may be questions regarding where their loyalty lies. Are different species allow to become citizens? I guess it gives a uniqueness to the aliens if they live in their own countries, but it would be interesting to know or learn about how other species settle on a different planet or even if they could. Maybe a codex explaining it or just some information in it would be nice, just for lore reasons.

I think it honestly makes sense. We humans are same species, we lived here for hundreds of thousands of years and yet continets are mostly divided by race

I believe on planets it would be even more pronounced, since I doubt that colonizing space empire, which probably has a population surpluss would want more population that is for most parts incompatible with them, Asari being an exception since they can reproduce with anyone. And I believe Asari are quite common on most planets

well given the lore Most MW species could survive on most worlds together. I think integration would be fairly easy to do as long as they can meet their dietary needs. if they can co habitat  in the citadel then why not planets. the big reason this is not a thing in the ME universe is due to species recognition makeing it easy for players to spot and identify races and what is theirs 

[Wulfram]

There are practical issues that would reduce it compared to humans.  Human society is set up for humans, after all.  Even with the rather human aliens of Mass Effect that would create issues - Human schools would be too slow for Salarians, but too fast for Asari, for example.

 

On the other hand, the Asari would have to either go live with aliens or take aliens back to their homeworld given their reproductive customs.  And there's been an awful lot of time for it to happen.

 

Issues of cross-species citizenship are interesting.  What age is appropriate to allow people to vote, for example?  And when you start dealing with species further from the human norm, things get more awkward - how many votes does a Geth Platform get?  Or a Rachni in a hive mind?

In Mass Effect it seems like home planets of the alien species are mostly populated by original inhabitants and other races seem to be just visiting/trespassing. Earth seems to be full of humans (until end of ME3 where it becomes battlezone of whole galaxy), Tuchanka full of Krogans and so on. Then there is some other planets which can be dominated by one species like Asari dominates Illium, but it's multicultural and lot of different alien species life there. Then there is Citadel which isn't necessary dominated by one species, but multiple (usually those in council I think).

I am sure in ME, there are various species like on other planets (aside from the Citadel, and Omega).

They all seem pretty homogeneous.

You cant expect Bioware or writers in general to think of everything and it is probably easier for them, when writing the story, to keep the species separate.

 

Maybe, Andromeda will feature more mixed groups of species.

The human colony world of Elysium is supposed to be very diverse according to the lore. It was mentioned in one of the books that it also has a large alien population. 

 

All Asari worlds are probably diverse in that a large percentage of them 'marries' outside their own species.

 

I can't recall the name of the planets now but there was one independent Terminus world that was settled by both humans and Batarians, oddly enough, and one formerly independent Asari colony world in the Terminus that was annexed by the Batarian Hegemony. 

 

A lot of Turian worlds probably have a large Volus minority, and vice versa, considering the Volus are technically part of the Turian Hierarchy. 

 

The Drell of course, other than on their dying homeworld, live on Hanar planets.

Pretty much this. And there are actually a handful of colonies that have humans and Batarians coexisting.

And the Terminus worlds are probably melting pots of diverse species, it seemed.

I believe only those born to a human parent are allowed to have citizenship on human-dominated planets. Others are either migrants/immigrants allowed to live under certain period of time, depend on the corps they are working for, Binary Helix/Ariake Technologies/Armali Council/et cetera...

[Patchwork]

Integration is certainly possible but MW colonisation seemed to work on a species basis. The race's embassy/government petition the council for the rights to a certain planet or system and the council say yes or no.  

 

Skip that step and the council get very annoyed. 

 

So the population becomes predominately whateverracegotpermission and other races are like guests.

 

And because space stations don't need that sort of permission they tend to be more of a mix.

That would not work very well.  Bad idea, actually. There is more than just breathing common air mix.

 

As a species, humans are seperated by language, culture and religous beliefs. Add strange alien behaviours to the mix and I doubt it will be peaceful. Besides, xenophobic radical groups will surely make things difficult for the new immigrant. Especially, so, if the alien subgroups become numerous and form their own "little Thessia" in downtown cities.

 

Besides, would you really like the Vorchaa living next to you? Please!

I think Earth should be human only. I mean, you can have aliens come here and live here, but no alien can ever hold a public office, especially at higher levels of policy making.

 

It's not just nationalism, but it's the simple fact that this is a species divide.

I think people in Mass Effect basicly inherrits thier parrents citizenship.

Citizens of a citadel species seem free to travel and live within that space as long as they got got a job where ever they want to settle.

Political representation seems to be handled by species representatives on a galactic scale. I imagine local governance is a thing for the locals to decide on. Planets are designated as the realm of a certain species that get's to colonise it, there for under the jurisdiction of that species galactic representation.

I have no idea, if it would be allowed for an Asari or Turian to get voted in as a major for a human city or Community. Human companies does employ a lot of Alien specialists however and they have grown to gigantic scale utilising Alien employees and a vast sales and industrial network across the galaxy.
At the same time, those huge human companies got a lot of Alien shareholders, investors and partner companies.

I think you should think of it as the colonys and Companys origin, but it might not be purely made up by one species. Some will have an easier time living together than others.

Also, I would expect people who live on an Alien planet to eventualy adapt(at least somewhat) to the norms of that society. Especialy those born there.

That Krogan poet who wanted to marry that Asari on that Asari colony might have been culturaly coloured by living on an Asari "girly" World. We don't even know where he grew up, he might have been thoroughly messed up by his Place of birth if he was born there or had lived there since he was very Young.
