The Quarians earn income in creative ways. A single disaster could destroy the fragile balance. The fleet has tankers for water purification and oxygen cracking, but the space-intensive nature of agriculture limits food production. While Quarian ships include light manufacturing and assembly plants, they lack heavy industries such as refining and shipbuilding. TheВ Migrant FleetВ has little economic base, operating in a state of perpetual 'hand-to-mouth'. This has led to many myths and rumors about the Quarians, including the belief that underneath their clothes and breathing masks, they are actually cybernetic creatures: a combination of organic and synthetic parts. Other species tend to look down on the Quarians for creating the GethВ and for the negative impact their fleet has when it enters a system. They leave the fleet and only return once they have found something of value they can bring back to their people. Because of this, each Quarian must go on a rite of passage known as theВ PilgrimageВ when they come of age. Home to 17 million Quarians, theВ flotillaВ understandably has scarce resources. Since Commander ShepardВ is inevitably Human, the approach of the other RacesВ towardsВ Humanity is most of the time visible for the player.Дriven from their home system by the Geth nearly three centuries ago, most Quarians now live aboard theВ Migrant Fleet, a flotilla of fifty thousand vessels ranging in size from passenger shuttles to mobile space stations.

RacesВ in Mass EffectВ have their own agendas, culture, religion, ways to govern etc. QuariansВ are a nomadic species that are known throughout the universe for their skills with technology and synthetic intelligence.
