Protheans - Species Information

The Protheans are an ancient alien race which mysteriously vanished over 50,000 years ago. The Protheans arose from a single planet and developed an immense galaxy-wide empire encompassing many other spacefaring species. Not much is known about them, but many of their artifacts, ruins and technology have apparently survived the ages.

The Protheans have been credited with creating the Citadel and the mass relays, feats of engineering that have never been equaled and whose core mass effect field technology forms the basis of contemporary civilization. Prothean artifacts, therefore, have immense scientific value and are seen to belong to the whole galactic community.


At this time, the physical appearance and biology of the protheans remains a mystery.


At this time, the legacy of the prothean empire is unknown, left only to a few scholars and the technology the protheans left behind.


As with the history, all that is left of prothean culture is their technology and the stories that pass from mouth to mouth in modern society.
