These characters are explored in the print novels Mass Effect: Revelation, Mass Effect: Ascension, Mass Effect: Retribution, and Mass Effect: Deception; the graphic novels Mass Effect: Homeworlds, Mass Effect: Conviction, Mass Effect: Redemption, Mass Effect: Evolution; the feature film Mass Effect: Paragon Lost; and the video games Mass Effect, Mass Effect Galaxy, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect 3: Datapad and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

It is necessary to briefly describe the fictional alien species and other cultural groups in the Mass Effect universe.

Most Type-II and Type-III Civilization species in the galaxy are under the jurisdiction of the Initiative and Citadel Government, the largest economic, political and military entity that controls 30% of the Milky Way. Some Type-I. Type-II, Type-III Civilization species in the galaxy are not under the governance of the Citadel. They either refuse to recognize the legitimate authority of the Citadel (the batarians), have been officially removed as membership species by the Council (the krogan and quarians), or have never officially established diplomatic contact with Citadel representatives (the vorcha and geth). Two Type-IV Civilization species are openly antagonistic towards Citadel member races and non-members alike (the Collectors and Reapers).
