Human

Humans are a bipedal mammalian species from the planet Earth. They generally stand between 5 feet and 6.5 feet tall and their skin color ranges from pale white-pink to dark brown-black(although pigment pills do allow them to change this). A recent addition to the galactic stage, Human society (called the Systems Alliance) advanced significantly with the advent of interstellar travel, made possible with the discovery of lost Prothean technology. Humans quickly expanded outwards and established more and more colonies on uninhabited planets. This fast expansion brought them into contact with the Turians, with whom they quickly had conflict. The Human-Turian First Contact War brought humans to the attention of the species of the Citadel Council, who wasted no time in ending the war. In the brief decades since their "discovery", humans have quickly risen to prominence. In addition, humans have recently been given an embassy at the Citadel Council (as distinct from a seat on the Council).

Humans are generally seen by other species as intelligent, aggressive, highly adaptable and thus, unpredictable. Some dislike their rapid rise to prominence compared to their relative status as newcomers on the galactic stage.
