Batarian and Human Refugees
Batarians get a bad rap as a violent species throughout Mass Effect. In truth, though, they aren’t really that bad. They only seem that way because their government refuses to let average citizens leave Batarian space.
As such, the ones we usually meet in the game are the rebellious ones who left, leading them to take up jobs that make them outlaws as a way to survive. The laws that once prevented citizens from leaving mean nothing in Mass Effect 3, though, as the Reapers attack all homeworlds the same way.
Due to this, we end up seeing a conversation between a human refugee and a Batarian refugee on the Citadel that shows how good-natured the species can be, even if it takes a bit of time for them to warm up.
The conversation starts with the human describing how beautiful the city of Lyon is. The Batarian gets angry at how much the human is talking but eventually opens up about how difficult it was to see his homeworld get destroyed.
The talk ends with the two bonding over destroying the Reapers for what they’ve done to the galaxy.
