A nomadic race of humanoid aliens, the quarians are generally shorter and of slighter build than humans. They dress in a scavanged 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.

"Now the quarians wander the galaxy in a flotilla of salvaged ships...."

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.

今天，BioWare公布了Mass Effect一个新的类人种族----Quarians

Quarians通常比人类矮和轻，他们身着再利用材料的衣物，并把他们的面孔藏在面甲或呼吸面具之后。有人认为Quarians是机械种族--混合了机械和有机物的构造使他们可以在宇宙空间的寒冷和真空中生存。另一些人认为他们只不过常年穿着太空服罢了，因为他们一直生活在恶劣条件下。

“现在Quarian乘着他们的飞船在银河系中流浪...."

300年前Quarian创造了Geth，一种初期的人工智能，并把他们当成廉价的工人。但后来Geth反叛了他们的Quarian主人并将他们驱逐了出去，现在Quarian只好利用废物再利用技术制船或直接利用其他种族的二手飞船流浪---以致一些其他种族对他们心存鄙夷，认为他们只是一些收垃圾的或是一个因为创造了危险的人造生命而终于自食其果的种族。
