- Rachni QueenThe rachni queens are the towering, telepathic matriarchs of the hive-minded rachni species. One such queen, hatched in captivity centuries after her kind was thought extinct, became a pivotal figure in the age of Commander Shepard.
- Rachni WarsThe Rachni Wars were a series of conflicts beginning around 1 CE, after a Citadel expedition opened a dormant mass relay into the territory of the rachni, a hostile hive-minded insect species. The Council races fought a losing war for nearly a century until the salarians uplifted the krogan, whose numbers turned the tide and drove the rachni to extinction.
- RachniThe rachni were a spacefaring, hive-minded insectoid species from the planet Suen whose expansion ignited the Rachni Wars roughly two thousand years before Commander Shepard's era. Driven to apparent extinction by the krogan, a single surviving queen would later place the fate of the entire species in Shepard's hands.
