1. Tell me how you found it and what you know. Like the last guy, I'm not going to allow you to know everything about reapers.
2. Depending on votes they will either stay or we go with the idea you came up with. 
3. Thanks for the approval of the dice roll.

This list may not be in order so play some "match this"

The Kimo found a copy of liara's warnings (now known to them as 'the shepard') when they discovered a Turian military vessel on a world they intended to settle. Like it says in my nation sheet, those Turians survived the war and tried and failed to carve out a new existence somewhere. 

The discovery heralded a golden age for the Kimo but it also brought with them the warning of the reapers.
Information from the Turian ship's databanks revealed what had happened to them, including a complete record of the Reaper war as experienced by the people onboard. They also found a copy of Liara's warning through which The Kimo learned of commander Shepard and his/her deeds up until the point where Liara made them. (Which was just before the battle of earth. And given that very few ships and even fewer ground troops made it back from that battle, the Turians onboard the ship they found had little knowledge of what exactly transpired there.) They also learned of the crucible and how to build it but given that liara had no idea what exactly it is or what it does, neither do the Kimo and like I said, actually building the thing would require too many resources and that is not something the Kimo government will put any effort into when they don't know what the thing will even do. They know that the citadel is the 'catalyst' and that it is a massive station that used to be the seat of all galactic government as well as a backdoor for the reapers (they know shepard's story afterall) but given that the reapers moved the thing to earth and god knows where else after that, they have no idea where to find it, nor do they have the intention of going to look for it since that might expose them to whatever else lurks in the darkness of space.

In short, the Kimo know everything Liara did prior to leaving for earth as well as what the Turians knew. they know about indoctrination, the existing reaper variants, husks, etc. They have alot of knowledge (but that doesn't mean that the reapers couldn't have come up with a few new tricks in the many centuries/millenia since the last cycle, *hint hint* ;p)

Also, and this is kind of a big thing. If this rp follows mass effect 2-3 logic the cycle comes every 50.000 years in which case the Kimo know when the reapers will come but if it follows Mass effect 1 logic, the reapers will come whenever they deem gamactic civilisation advanced enough to be harvested, in which case the Kimo's guess is as good as anyone's. (if you ask me, mass effect 1 logic is the better one since I believe that the 50.000 years limit is kind of dumb because there are absolutely no guarantees that sentient lifeforms will grow to the desired level somewhere in the galaxy within that arbitrary timeframe. It's also alot more interesting because it leaves everyone in the dark as to when the reapers arrive.)

Drahss found a copy of Liara's Black Box some time after they autonomously discovered the mass effect field and how to use it. In the exploration of their cluster they organized a constant and maniacal race to colonization, overlooking easily their own ancestral holdings. After some time then, during a periodic geological & biological survey of their homeworld's highly active moon Ladae, they catched unusual interferences coming from the 'dark side' of the moon'.
Their finding was incredible. Wrapped inside a prothean research facility ruins, spurted somehow from the ground, there was one of Liara's box. The dusty storm that would have caused such thing was to be avoided, since at that time the Federacy was still young, and its members unsettled over the colonial rights. In the end it was all locked down and studied; its discoveries kept secret, and released gradually as proofs of Drahss technological advancement. However, those who were fully aware of the content of those artifact, decided they had to make themselves ready for the dark days to come, somehow.

As I said before, Liara's Black Box works exactly like any other known VI, containing all data of ME3 period and advancement. Unfortunately, this was one of the earliest copies, so Drahss don't know that the Citadel is the the Catalyst itself.
