Aleandrea's Alien Primer, Combined Copy

1st Edition

'Almost done. I need to look for a publisher; perhaps I can get this to replace the stupidity that is the current alien primer for the Alliance.

At least the Xenobio/psy sections. Those are atrocious, even if they cut things down just to what the average soldier needs it'd be a grand improvement… Unless it's all propaganda?

I should probably make two versions, one that has more… That can wait.'

Aleandrea frowned, opening up Garrus' notes on the Turian section.

Forward-

Many of you may know me as the Butcher of Torfan, and I'm considered to be racist towards Turians. Additionally, I have spent my entire life both as a noble and around the military, something that one would think too heavily shade my views.

First, unless you're a high ranking military tactician, you don't get to analyse my actions at Torfan, and be prepared to find out how bloodthirsty I'm not.

Second, yes, I've a tendency to accentuate Turian negatives. You'll see I've got a Turian editor to help balance that.

Thirdly, many Xenosociologists interact purely with civilian sectors and are as such are as jaded in the other direction, however reading this alongside the work of a civilian may be beneficial. And people who actually know me will laugh at you for calling me noble.

Anyhow, while many Xenosociology textbooks will begin talking about their psychology, I believe the first step in truly understanding someone is to look at where they come from. Where races are involved, this is first their home world, then their Biology.

AN: This is going to go over 1/10th :p

This is what I think is one of the more major pieces of world building for the setting given I've told you to look at the works of Logical Premise for the Alliance. [And you should anyway, Logical Premise is awesome if dark.] Chapters won't be published in order [As you can see by looking at chapter 2/3.], but instead by perceived importance, which is why Chapter 3 comes first. These chapters will be re-odered a few days after its completion.

For those wondering as to the order Aleandrea's using, she's using the order based on how likely Humans are to encounter them, within the order of Major/Minor Council races and Non-Council races.

Edit: No, there won't be a Geth chapter. Kinda hard for Aleandrea to write one when knowledge about them is more than a little scarce.
