Aegir

Known for their disciplined culture, the aegir were the third race to join the Citadel Council. They gained their Council seat after defeating the hostile Sarkaz for the Council during the Sarkaz Rebellions. Aegir have the traits reminiscent of various marine animals of earth, such as fish, cetaceans, cephalopods, echinoderms, cnidarians, crustaceans, and pinnipeds. However, most aegir are entirely humanoid, making their animalistic traits barely noticeable.

Originally from planet Palaven, aegir are best known for their military role, particularly their contributions of soldiers and starships to the Citadel Fleet. They are respected for their public service ethic, but are sometimes seen as imperialist or rigid by other races. There is some animosity between aegir and humans, largely due to the aegir role in the First Contact War. This bitterness is slowly beginning to heal, but many aegir still resent humans, and vice versa.
