I love the comment of "You wanna win a battle, bring the Krogan. You wanna win a war? Bring the Turians." It kinda solidifies why our bro Garrus was with us from the very start to the very end.
It was all due to miscommunication. The humans didn't know why the relay was disabled, and the Torians didn't know that and assumed it was malicious. Good thing the first contact war was short and had relatively low casualties. Deplomacy actually worked here.
@FireCrestAmerica No, they destroyed one fleet and occupied one human colony. After that, they assumed they’d destroyed the bulk of human military power and didn’t put much effort into pushing forward
@@addisonwelsh Humans remained secretive for a few years after the incident. Humans rigged satellites with nukes so the turians couldn’t capture human technology and reverse engineer it. Its pretty interesting lore. Id like a prequel mass effect game of yhe first contact wars and k Rogan rebellion.
Human ship: "Wow, another mass relay! We can travel further amongst the stars!" Turian ship: "So anyway we started blasting." That being said, the turians have some of the best characters in the series. Saren Arterius: Memorable villain Garrus Vakarian: Fantastic ally (also has an insane fanbase XD) Vetra Nyx: Beautiful and relatable (my LI in Andromeda) Nihlus Kryik: Cool-looking despite being killed off so freaking early Nyreen Kandros: Mysterious Adrien Victus: Another memorable ally ...And then there's Sparatus.
Yes…Sparadas, everyone’s favorite turian for being an antagonistic bureaucrat most famously known for his renown phrase “Ah yes, ‘Reapers’!” With his well performed air quotes. He’s an annoying bird lizard but I still save him every time simply because he’s got that face paint drip.
Wow! Thank you, that is high praise indeed. I appreciate the kind words and the subs and sharing the video with you friend. I really enjoyed researching and making these videos.
That quote about Krogans and Turian’s makes even more sense when you consider that 2 of the first (other than Ashley and Kaiden) team mates you actually recruit are a Turian and a Krogan. They just so happen to be absolute bro’s.
Always wondered who had more military power, the Turian or Krogan. That saying pretty much sums it up “if you want to win a battle, bring the Krogan, but if you want to win the war, bring the Turian.” Ok, Turians vs Mandolorians, who would win? For those who also love Star Wars.
I would probably side with the Mandalorians against the Turians. Mandalorians primarily use blasters which are plasma based weapons, making them extremely effective at taking down kinetic barriers as seen with Geth plasma weapons. What's more, Beskar Armor is more than durable enough to withstand anything short of a grenade launcher in the Turians infantry arsenal. The Turians could potentially kill the Mandalorians over time by using Plutonium rounds to overwhelm the Mandalorians with radiation even through their armor but Star Wars has some rather powerful anti radiation medicine meaning Plutonium Rounds are only gonna be effective in the short term. And the Turians don't have enough Biotics to turn the tide, not helped by the fact that many Biotics use thwir abilities in similar ways to the Jedi meaning the Mandalorians would have at least a basic idea on how to counter them.
The Turian society scream out the galatic federation from starship troopers. I would love to hear from their military recruitment's saying "Would you like to know more?"
Wow, i didn't know about most of this. When you hear about the krogan rebellion, you think of the genophage I didn't know that the krogans launched fucking asteroids at turian colonies
I would honestly love to see a buddhist monk Turian, i really do. I reckon that would be awesome and hilarious to see a turian in the monk robes... haha
Knowing the characteristics of the Turians, one wonders if Shepard would not have been fairer that he was of that race. A super soldier is much more likely to be born and raised in a military society, rather than in a species, ours, which, as in any RPG, has no peculiarities apart from being the middle ground. I don't think Turians don't have N7-equivalent training
Fun fact, anyone that has a basic understanding of biochemistry knows that humans can safely consume dextro proteins IRL so the Turian food problem wouldn't exist if the series was realistic.
@@Bowiiihowdy Now I’m imagining Mordin studying some “Adult Videos” with a bag of popcorn in one hand and a data slate sitting close to the other, completely enraptured and frantically taking notes. “Hm, yes, indeed, theory is proven correct; human spine _can_ bend that far.”
nah, humanity’s strongest trait that sets them apart from other races is their diversity and range of individualistic thought-see the conversation with samara in ME2. besides you can’t say humans are more resilient than turians lol we’ll give up quicker than they would
@N7Kate Have you ever considered trying your skills at destiny Lore? You have an excellent way of laying information out in a clear yet intriguing way. With Destiny 2 around the corner now would be a good time to learn about its deep and hidden lore around the last city, the factions and their wars, The battle of six fronts and the deep DEEP lore of the Fallen and The Hive. Please do consider looking into it, Id love to hear your take on its lore.
Female Turians don't really do it for me even though I'm a bi girl. I'm confused on how they reproduce. They don't have tits, do they? The ones I've seen where they do are covered by that shell thing. If they give birth to live young how do they feed them?They're mammals without mammary glands? Anywho, I've been fantasizing a lot about sleeping with Garrus. I just want to fuck a Turian so bad!
Basically, to join the Council you need to have the resources, both military and economic, to assist in a major galactic crisis. The Volus have a strong economy, but their military is pathetic because before meeting the Council they didn’t fight wars very often. The Hanar and Epcot don’t have very strong militaries or economies. In ME 1 there are two people speculating on which race will join the Council next in the Council chamber, before you speak with them first.
Sweet Whispers Still, credit and a link back (not just to the original wiki article, but to the people whose video footage she used... I recognize a few) would be the responsible thing to do. I don’t doubt that narrating the script and editing the footage was a lot of work, but if she had help, she should acknowledge it.
Protheans strike me as being more similar to the Qunari than Turians. Qunari are the opposite of complete freedom of religion; they conquer other races and their options are to convert to the Qun, die, or be turned into essentially mindless slave labor. Turians offer the option of joining, the Protheans forced the 'primitives' into the Prothean empire whether they wanted to be or not.
Ironic how the law against reactivating dormant relays was to prevent unknown hostile species from being unleashed on the galaxy. So what do the Turians do when they see an unknown species? Immediately engage in hostile action.
Arn't Turians supposed to resemble birds or have bird-like traits? if so then please tell me because they look nothing like birds. But I still love their design and physical appearance.
If you want to win a battle you bring a Krogan if you want to win a war you bring a Turian if you want to do both without orbital bombardment you bring a Human

I love how the first Mass Effect novel, Mass Effect Revelation , described turians as the "missing link of birds".
5:04
Great book, written by Drew himself
You'll hear people calling them birds in the games as well (in passing)
Interesting. I always thought they kinda resembled cats in their face
I call them the Space Cockatiels of Hell.
Humanity didn't even know about the council races when they found the dormant mass relay, the turians were jerks to humanity in the beginning.
It was made illegal to reactivate dormant mass relays. Last time they did that, the Rachni Wars began. The Turians are known sticklers for the law.
It was all due to miscommunication. The humans didn't know why the relay was disabled, and the Torians didn't know that and assumed it was malicious. Good thing the first contact war was short and had relatively low casualties. Deplomacy actually worked here.

My favorite alien race in Mass Effect series.
Mine too :D
Salarians
Traitor !
Sounds like the Turians have a similar society as the Roman Empire, and Sparta.
actually more like soviet russia
Actually more like prussians
Yep, it's even in the name. They are named after the Roman Centurions.
@@MrAwrsomeness Voltaire once said that Prussia was "Sparta in the morning and Athens at night"

@@N7Kate lots of people are interested again with the new Legendary Edition.
I was brought here from 2024. Guys I’m from the future and come with a message. These are still dope.
That quote about Krogans and Turian’s makes even more sense when you consider that 2 of the first (other than Ashley and Kaiden) team mates you actually recruit are a Turian and a Krogan. They just so happen to be absolute bro’s.
So basically the Terran Federation from Starship Troopers but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
(Ten thousand “aaa’s” later)
Aaaaaaaaay more competent?
Depends on if it’s the movie or the book. They’re very competent in the books, but the guy who directed the movie got bored and didn’t read it.
Great Lore video. I'm really gonna miss Garrus. Hope the new Turian companion can live up to his awesomeness.
Print Dog I think vetra is pretty cool but she is diffeen from garrus in a good way
If vetra can’t do it, *life is dead and we will all die due the the universe imploding on the millions of galaxies and possible species*
Love how she used the stellaris music for intro😂👌🏼

Is this when the mandolorians are at there strongest and United or during the republic or imperial era?
Turians had better ships
Krogans had better armies
Turians vs san'heliai.

Depends on how much time turians have for calibrations.
Turians. One of my favorite alien species.

Wow, i didn't know about most of this.
When you hear about the krogan rebellion, you think of the genophage
I didn't know that the krogans launched fucking asteroids at turian colonies
Yeah theres a good reason the Turians did not hesitate to use the Genophage even when the Salarians told them not to.
The Turians did their war of unification while the Babylonian exile happened
Guess this was recommended to me today because of all the ME Legendary edition hype...
I am watching all these ... I can't wait til may 14th ... God I been waiting to long for this remake lol
This is the first Mass Effect video in a long time that I actually learnt something new =) So thank you =)
Awesome vid, one of my favorite races from ME!!!!
Glad I found your channel. I’m Watching your entire playlist in anticipation of the trilogy getting released again ❤️
Thanks for watching, more Mass Effect Lore content will be coming in the weeks ahead 😁
This game couldn't have come out at a better time. The covid bill forces intelligence agencies to give a report next month

Best race in ME, change my mind.
So everyone else noticed that they’re birds right?
I'll probably never understand, why only certain races have a place on the council.

Not gonna lie.
Turians are my favorite race.
Ah yes the space prussians
you should have voiced the V.I. in the Andromeda Museum telling about the Turians :D
Hahaha I would have loved that job!
maybe if you ask bioware and link to your video they may get you some similar position :D
if you want to of course

@@N7Kate I don't really see how, ( in physical apperance) but thanks for gibing more info. and again, their design is incredible.

Rebel Jester from what i've read it's comparable to that of humans.
Always wondered.
It literally says in the video
I'd say 60 to 120 years. Hard to say what human life span is in the future
Am I the only one who thinks that the Turians are based a lot on the Chinese?
Are Turians really more closely related to birds? I just don't see the resemblance
Stoned Gentleman they are somewhat feathery and thier arms legs hands and feet are very bird like
I can see it. Garrus looks Iike a grey eagle to me..his head
