Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which species were "rescued" by the hanar when they had exhausted the resources of their overpopulated home planet?

Answer: Drell

The hanar evacuated hundreds of thousands of drell to their own home world. The player can learn a bit about drell history by speaking to drell party member Thane Krios.

2. Which of these sapient species from the "Mass Effect" universe has the shortest average lifespan?

Answer: Vorcha

The adaptive but primitive vorcha have an average lifespan of only twenty years. Many are seen in "Mass Effect 2" working as mercenaries in the Blood Pack.

3. The legendary Special Tasks Group (STG) is a part of which race's military?

Answer: Salarian

The STG is involved in intelligence gathering and espionage, amongst other things. "Mass Effect 2" squad member Mordin Solus is a former member.

4. Spend some time on the Citadel and you might hear about Francis Kitt's special production of Hamlet featuring a cast made up purely of members of which species?

Answer: Elcor

In "Mass Effect", a news bulletin about the production can be heard in an elevator. In "Mass Effect 2", commercials advertising the play can be seen.

5. Another interesting piece of entertainment you might hear about is a film about the someone called "Blasto", the first Spectre of which species?

Answer: Hanar

According to the advertisement, Blasto has "a lover in every port and a gun in every tentacle". He is a parody of famous movie cop Dirty Harry, as can be seen from lines such as "This one has forgotten whether its heatsink is over capacity. It wonders whether the criminal scum considers itself fortunate?"

6. All members of which species are naturally biotic?

Answer: Asari

Biotics from other species are usually biotic as a result of exposure to element zero (eezo) prior to birth. They also require a lot more training to control their abilities than the asari.

7. An important part of being recognised in the galactic community is having an embassy on the Citadel. Which of these species does NOT have an embassy(At the time the games are set)?

Answer: Batarian

The batarians once had an embassy, but closed it as a protest after a major disagreement with the Citadel Council. Two other species used to have embassies but lost them - the krogan, who lost theirs for the Krogan Rebellions, and the quarians, who lost theirs for creating the geth.

8. Which species was involved in the First Contact War with the Human Systems Alliance?

Answer: Turian

The First Contact War is also known as the "Relay 314 Incident". As the name suggests, it occurred upon the first contact humanity had with a sentient alien species.

9. Which species has a perfect memory, and a large problem with a disease called Kepral's Syndrome?

Answer: Drell

The drell's problem with Kepral's Syndrome is due to the fact that the climate on their home world is very different to the climates they tend to live in now. Thane Krios suffers from Kepral's Syndrome.

10. Rannoch is the home planet of which species?

Answer: Quarian

The quarians were evicted from Rannoch by their synthetic creation, the geth. They now live aboard a massive group of ships, the Migrant Fleet, and whether or not attempts should be made to take back Rannoch is a point of contention among quarians.
