BREAKING: Raloi Withdrawal Decision Prompts Backlash, Accusations of Cowardice
When the Reapers invaded the galaxy, the entire raloi delegation decided to withdraw from Council space and descend into forced primitivism. In the meantime, however, the raloi have been branded as cowards by the rest of the galaxy.
Seeking to justify his people’s bid for self-preservation, Raloi ambassador Ari'ka stated, "We have no wish to battle those who have yet to wrong us, nor have we the capability.”
The raloi’s decision to destroy all artificial satellites and observation equipment they currently have in orbit. They claimed that the Reapers will see them as a pre-spacefaring civilization and spare their planet before departing the Citadel.
Other races, however, were less than sympathetic. Moments after Khar’shan and Earth fell to Reaper forces, dozens took to the extranet to express their outrage.
“Mixed disgust and anger: They foolishly hope that the Reapers will see them as a primitive species and ignore them!”
“In our time of need, the fucking bird-men just upped and left us all to die! What cowards! I hope the Reapers wipe out all you featherheads!”
“This one does not understand. We welcome the raloi to the Citadel, but when the time for unity was needed--they refused to aid us. This one expects that a day of reckoning will come.”
The raloi species made first contact with the asari six months ago, and were formally welcomed into the galactic community last year.
