Salarians were a species renowned for their mental acuity, technical skill and their high aptitude for espionage. Salarians had a very high metabolism rate, lowering their life expectancy to about 40 standard years, but also necessitating very little sleep, around 1-2 hours per day.

Salarians were thin, highly energetic bipeds that stood 1.3 to 1.5m high and weighed around 50kg tending to be fidgety and spoke quickly. Salarians preferred to sneak around and attack enemies when they knew their weaknesses and had all the information about an enemy they could acquire rather than attack head on like their galactic neighbors, the Krogan. When they did find themselves in face to face combat situations they acted decisively and in a manner that ended the combat as quickly as possible.

It was far more common to find Salarians dealing in politics, espionage and technologies. Being of higher intelligence and needing only a few hours of sleep a night gave them an advantage over the other species that sleep far more. If there was anything to be gained from a piece of information the Salarians would have their hands in the pot long before others even had a chance to discover it.
