Krogan

'''***The following is the Initial Draft, subject to change with ME3's release. It should only be used as a temporary guide.***'''

The krogan were the second race to be driven to extinction by the human empire. With the asari defeated, the krogan—also a powerful and long-lived species—were deemed too dangerous to the Empire to exist, and so they were decimated by a refined and highly virulent strain of the genophage. Within a single generation, every krogan was infected and wiped out. The blame for this was pinned on the turian Hierarchy that sought to “finish what it started” as revised history texts would later explain.
