Raloi

Raloi are an avian species from planet Turvess.

Biology
They possess feathers. They are also susceptible to an alien flu virus referred to as the H7N7 Avian Flu. For this reason, Raloi are known to wear environmental suits when engaging with other species.

History
The Raloi have been known to the Elcor for at least generations. They were officially welcomed to the galactic scene in 2185, a year after they launched their first space telescope and discovered the Asari cruiser Azedes passing through their system. First contact with the two species was made shortly afterwards.

in 2185, the Raloi were welcomed to the galactic community by the Citadel Council, receiving a variety of goodwill gifts from the other member species of the Citadel. However, the Krogan representatives were ejected from the welcoming ceremony after introducing the Raloi to Kowla, a Krogan sport that turned out deadly to them. Regardless of this incident, the Raloi sent a delegation to the Citadel to learn more about the other species sharing the Citadel and of galactic law.

In 2186 during the Reaper invasion, the Raloi withdrew from the galaxy to their homeworld. They began to systematically destroy all their satellites, in hopes to retain a pre-spaceflight civilization so that the Reapers would spare them.
