Lystheni Salarians

The Lystheni are an "offshoot" of the salarians, unwelcome in Council space. They may be found living among batarians, exiled quarians, and other galactic refuse at the Omega station.

Biologically the Lystheni are only slightly different from mainstream Salarians. Evolving on the harsh lands of the southern continent of Sur’Kesh, they are physically harder, stronger, and more resilient to disease. Their lifespan exceeds the “council space” salarians by about twenty years.

As time went by the division between the Salarians and the Lystheni only grew, as cultural differences discouraged interbreeding. The Lystheni for example fertilize 50% of their eggs, resulting in an equal population of females, a practice that other Salarian cultures find barbaric.
