Leader: Dalatrass Vass
Diplomatic Relations Summary: Following the reveal of the Prothean VI on Thessia and the recent Nationalistic fervor on Palaven, the Salarian are much more wary of their former council partners and relations are not as positive as they were pre-invasion.
Other council associate races still hold good favor with the Salarian Union, in particular Humanity and the Elcor for their staunch defense against the Reaper invasion.
Military Summary: The Salarian military pre invasion was predicated on the vast STG intelligence network having done the heavy lifting before the war had even begun. Following the ineffectual ability of the STG to give the Salarian military that cutting edge, the Salarians were forced to rely more on their cutting edge technology. This led the Salarian military to have an identity crisis following the end of the Reaper war. Without much contact to their vast spy intelligence network and many lives having been lost not only to the Reapers, but also to their own high performance technologies failing, the Salarian military has been forced to rethink her doctrines.
Although it is true that many colony worlds of the Salarian Union were kept in line during the dark years by the threat of STG action, the truth of the matter was that the organization had been so depleted by the Reaper war as to be largely neutered. In the intervening years before the reawakening of the Relay network, the STG has begun to regain her footing, and even re-established contact with cells on foreign worlds that it had written off. That said, the STG has a long way ahead to regain the footing it had once held.
As such more conventional methods of warfare and tactics have become prevalent in recent years. In particular, defending the large frontier of Salarian colonial space.
History: Fortunate for the Salarian Union, but unfortunate for the rest of the galaxy, Salarians suffered the least during the Reaper war when compared to other races. Sur’Kesh was never touched directly by the Reapers and as such wasn’t depopulated or devastated quite like many other worlds across the known galaxy. Despite this there was still quite a great deal of economic, political, and societal flux following the severing of the relay network. Some Salarian colonies slipped away to rebellion or simply went dark.
Despite the great distances separating her colonial possessions from Sur’Kesh, the Union managed to hold on to many by doubling down on their feudatory system of governance that has existed for millenia. In exchange for more autonomy, and kept in line by the still fearsome reputation of the STG, some colonies remained a part of the Union. The dark years were hard on the Salarians as they were for all other races, during which there was a great deal of soul searching required at all levels.
However, the dark years were short in number. Now with the relays beginning to reactivate, the galaxy at large is being forced back together. It remains to be seen how the new galactic order will come to shape, but many races seem bent on expansionist policies rather than reconciliation and diplomacy. Additionally, with the Citadel still residing over Earth, the natural capital of galactic governance seems to favor Humanity as a new custodian.
What comes next will surely be a time of great change.

Olor is supposedly a Salarian colony, so I’m just wondering why it's a non hostile terrestrial world?
