Unfortunately, their metabolic speed leaves them with a relatively short life span salarians over the age of 40 are a rarity. To salarians, other species seem sluggish and dull-witted. Salarians think fast, talk fast, and move fast. The second species to join the Citadel, the salarians are warm-blooded amphibians with a hyperactive metabolism. This ends when they reach the Matriarch stage, where they assume the roles of leaders and councilors.
When the Matron stage begins, they "meld" with interesting partners to produce their offspring.
In the Maiden stage, they wander restlessly, seeking new knowledge and experience. Asari can live for over 1,000 years, passing through three stages of life. This capability has led to unseemly and inaccurate rumors about asari promiscuity. They can attune their nervous system to that of another individual of any gender, and of any species, to reproduce. An all-female race, the asari reproduce through a form of parthenogenesis. Since then, the asari have served as the mediators and centrists of the Council. When the salarians arrived, it was the asari who proposed the establishment of the Citadel Council to maintain peace throughout the galaxy. The asari were the first species to discover the Citadel.
