My gut says Salarian.  Mordin was good, but we weren't super tight with any Salarians.  This leads me to believe Salarians have the smallest fan base.

Aww but Salarians are so cute. Especially with their squeaky voices. They're my favorite race in ME.

As far as the of war effort it was the Salarians. The Reapers never invade Salarian space as far as we know, and the only mention of Salarian involvement in the war other than that Cerberus raid on the STG, was the final battle at Earth. They make no attempt to shore up Palaven or Thessia and the Salarian dalatrass attempts to keep the Salarians out of the Earth counteroffensive if the genophage is cured.

They were practicallly useless.

Pffft, Salarians are Mass Effect space-pimps.

 

The least relevant race is the one whose entire society is revealed to be a lie by a single character; a ruse built by using and hiding technology from a far more advanced civilization.

They don't deserve to come anyway having abandoned the other council races out of what amounts to spite. In all honesty as far as their species is concerned they're not very interesting anyway. I can't think of a time I heard anyone actually talk about them at length. They're basically a bunch of galactic DB's starting trouble for everyone else, because if there's going to be galaxy wide chaos and destruction they might as well be the ones to start it, someone has to.

 

On top of that they regulate the birth of their females in order to preserve what at first glance looks to be a well refined class system that seems designed to keep the status Quo. It's illegal to have too many daughters, illegal to have too many daughters. They also consider themselves the master race. They'll literally hold you up as their favourite species while secretly developing a sterility plague to wipe your people out forever and justify it with "We're Salarians we can do that."

 

 

So no the Krogan are not happy about sharing cabin space with boring, weak, devious, Salarian squishies.

This probably wont end well for anyone. The Krogan like to fight; Salarians like to start fights, Ryncol. Just saying.

Mordin alone makes the Salarians more relevant than the Asari for me. 

 

Well...that was until I shot him. Poor Mordin :(

What about the crucible? You don't think their scientific contributions could have helped with that? I mean, lets be realistic here. Everything outside of building the crucible was just intended to delay the Reapers, not defeat them. The Reapers would wipe everyone out eventually, as is demonstrated by the refusal ending. So in the end, wouldn't helping to build the crucible be just as valuable, if not more so, than delaying the Reapers?

Historically they solved two of most dangerous galactic threats, but in-game they were ridiculously undepresent for someone from Big Trio, so I wasn't really interested in them in the end. Even batarians had more story. 

Still they could be the ones responsible for Ark's design. Off-screen again.

I would hope to see more screen time devoted to the Salarians in the future, they were grossly under represented despite being a humanoid council species.

It would also be nice to see things from their perspective instead of having the narrative portray them as the arrogant species that had the audacity to pick on everyone's favorite pet race, the Krogan.

I think they'll be in the game with a smaller role than Asari and Turians.

 

The lack of emotion here says Salarian are unpopular.

 

People are treating them much differently than the loved races.  Bioware didn't give us time to think about Krogans.  The developers outright said it wouldn't be Mass Effect without THE KROGANS.

 

Mention that Asari won't be very important and you have people come in crying.

I know they brought out the Krogan to squash Rachni but what was the second big threat?

The writing for the Salarians in ME3 was terrible. Effectively sidelining a council species for the big finale was stupid, regardless of whether the player chooses to cure the genophage. I think two things were at play.

First, they'd neglected them for so long, the only thing they knew how to tie the Salarians to was the genophage. Second, they ran out of time, since ME2 didn't advance the plot at all, and their trilogy ended up being very back-heavy. Later in the game, Hackett says that the Salarians sent their entire fleet as thanks for my saving Valern. I never saw their support in war assets or in the final cinematic, though. Not so much as a "Salarian fleet reporting". Another ball lost in high weeds with this game. Sigh.

Salarians are awesome. I don't consider any of the species any less important than the others. I'll diassappointed if each of the species aren't represented in my MEA crew, in some way. I'm not holding my breath on that, since they've never all been represented in a single crew. I'd like MEA to be the first time, finally.

They were just really, really friendly and because they were so friendly and liked everyone so much, they decided to move in with them. There may have been a few domestic disputes over silly things, like who gets to rule the galaxy and whether anyone else should have a choice in the matter. But what it comes down to is this. Things were said. Asteroids were thrown. But the Krogan weren't a real threat to anyone or they would have uplifted the Yagh.

So lets not go naming names and pretending the Krogan are the bad guys here. The Salarians like to kill other peoples children before they're even born and regulate the birth rates of their own women.

And if we want to blame anyone for the Krogan trying to enslave the Asari its them anyway. The Dalatrass even admits it.

So no, the Krogan are not the bad guys.

Space Hamsters.

 

Most people didn't even realize they were a part of the Council on account of how wee they are.

 

Also, hamsters can't project.
