Bioware lät igår presentera ytterligare en ny ras i kommande rollspelet Mass Effect. Denna gång är det de något märkliga Quarians som avslöjas. Mass Effect lär för övrigt ska släppas innan sommaren och har i Australien fått ett datum i maj, vilket borde bli ungefär detsamma för oss i Europa.
Såhär står det på Biowares hemsida om Quarians:
A nomadic race of humanoid aliens, the quarians are generally shorter and of slighter build than humans. They dress in a scavenged assortment of materials, hiding their faces behind visors, goggles, or breathing masks. Some believe the quarians are cybernetic, a blend of machine and biology that can survive for a time in the cold vacuum of space. Others believe the quarians are simply so used to living on their substandard, makeshift ships that they never remove their survival suits.
Three hundred years ago the quarians created the geth, a species of rudimentary AIs, to serve as an efficient source of manual labor.
But the geth rebelled against their quarian masters and drove them into exile. Now the quarians wander the galaxy in a flotilla of salvaged ships, secondhand vessels, and recycled technology. Other species tend to look down on the quarians, seeing them as scavengers and condemning them for unleashing a dangerous synthetic life form on the rest of the galaxy.
