The salarians provided the krogan with advanced technology and a new, tranquil home planet (in order to manipulate the krogan into eradicating the rachni for the Council). The salarians also played a significant role in the advancement of the krogan species. The League slaughtered the entire Union inner cabinet, but were later hunted down, leaving only relics behind. In a gesture of trust, the salarians opened the records of one of their intelligence services, the League of One, but this quickly created problems when the League's members found themselves in danger as a result. They opened diplomatic relations at once and became one of the founding species of the Citadel Council. The salarians were the second species to discover the Citadel, only a few decades after the asari. According to Kirrahe those settlements 'remain at the heart of salarian territory to this day'. On their first three interstellar colonies, the salarians planted settlements named Aegohr, Mannovai, and JaГ«to. Eventually, they progressed technologically to the point of colonizing planets beyond their own. Salarians were already thriving on Sur'Kesh 50,000 years before, albeit in a thoroughly primitive state. They are, however, attracted to the asari, and one salarian notes that 'even humans find the Consort irresistible.' Reproduction is more of a necessity and salarians do not seem to desire sex for pleasure. Salarian sex drive and reproduction differ from that of humans, with famed Salarian doctor, Mordin Solus, claiming that it is not hormone-based. This ensures the offspring have equal loyalty to both, ensuring the desired dynastic and political unity. During the hatching of daughters, the Dalatrasses of the mother and fatherвЂ™s clans are present at the imprinting. The young salarians psychologically imprint on her and tend to defer to her wishes. Salarian hatching is a solemn ritual in which the clan Dalatrass (matriarch) isolates herself with the eggs.

They also possess a form of psychological 'imprinting', tending to defer to those they knew in their youth. Salarians have photographic memories and rarely forget a fact. Social rules prevent all but a fraction from being fertilized. Once a year, a salarian female will lay a clutch of dozens of eggs. The salarians are amphibian haplo-diploid egg-layers unfertilized eggs produce males and fertilized eggs produce females. The drawback of this active metabolism is a short lifespan of around 40 human years. Their minds and bodies work faster than most sapient races, making them seem restless or hyperactive. Salarians are noted for their high-speed metabolism, which allows them to function on just one hour of sleep a day. Salarians blink upwards, rather than downwards as humans do. The pupils are a wide slit, oriented horizontally, and the irises can be dark green, purple, red, blue, or brown. Salarian eyes are large and oval and have thin membranes in place of eyelids.

Skin varies in color, from bright reds and greens to the more common shades of blue or grey. Salarian heads are long and thin, and have a pair of horns protruding from the top of their skulls. The salarians are a bipedal race of amphibians, with tall, elongated bodies well-suited for their high metabolism, and skeletons composed of more cartilage than those of other races such as humans.
