[quote=@SgtEasy] Oh geez. I guess I might join but I'm sooooo rusty and busy. I'll write up a character and look over my schedule so that I have more time to relax and write and finally do some RP. I hope y'all will accept an old Guilder soul <3 EDIT: By the way, I'm a bit fuzzy on ME lore at the moment (probably because it's 1 am in the morning here meaning I'm sleeping soon XD). I don't remember but did the Batarian Hegemony reborn into a new thing after the Reapers defeat? And yeah, I'm really wanting to try a Batarian somehow though exploring the religion, culture and caste system of their species will be pretty darn interesting. [/quote] If I remember correctly, the batarians are arguably the species hit hardest by the Reapers. Their isolation from galactic civilization plus being the first systems hit left them with no allies or means to escape. The ultimate fate of the batarian worlds isn't really clear how many, if anyone, survived in Hegemony space. The survivors are largely the pockets of batarians living in the Terminus Systems and Citadel refugees and what was left of their fleet. I'd pretty much put money on their government having utterly collapsed and surviving batarians either integrating with other colonies and species like the drell did or trying to resettle a planet that still had decent infrastructure and asking for help rebuilding and resettling at the cost of a new government. Their rigid caste system might take a huge hit from either Citadel pressure or that their lack of numbers forces a change because the power vacuum pretty much gives lower castes a chance to take power or cripple the influence of the high castes. I'm not sure what the GMs had planned for post Reaper batarians, but that's what I remember/ speculate. I'm handy with the lore but I'm not an authority by any means.
