Mass Effect: Blackwell

A heavy-set species that relies on special suits and breathers to survive off their methane-based home planet.

Confidant Investors, Bankers, and Merchants, this species thrives on its economic base and draws most of its galactic influence from its wealth rather than military power. Volus rarely refer to other species by name, instead identifying them by their homeworld. For example, a volus addressing a human would call him or her “Earth Clan”. For a volus to call another being outside their own species by their actual name is a considerable show of respect.
