Turian Hierarchy | Mass Effect
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2017
- The Turian Hierarchy is the largest military power in the Mass Effect galaxy and the third race to join the Citadel Council. Turian society emphasises discipline, public service and self sacrifice and its willingness to use force to prevent any threat to galactic stability has made them a vital part of the Council’s authority.
The Templin Institute investigates the nations, factions, and organizations of alternate worlds.

If you wanna win a fight, bring a Krogan, if you wanna win a war, bring a Turian. If you wanna save a galaxy, bring a human
Evendur13 damn right
I know it isn't everyone's favorite, but there is a line from ME andromeda that I love so much. The krogan on your crew is talking to the Turian on your ship. He remembers when he first saw humans he said. "They are bold for being so squishy, do they know they are made of water?" The turian told him not to tell you (human) but I loved it! Like no matter how inferior we might be to something or how impossible the task. We will still try, with everything we got.
@@idiocyincorporated7635 In one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the aliens name for humans was "Ugly Bags Of Mostly Water." Lol!
@@mariakelly5 lol that's awesome
@@mariakelly5 lol
Most species have an army, The Turian Army has a species
Space Prussia
Well, we Krogan always save the galaxy from the monsters
Lmao
Two, if you count the Volus.
Turians don't bend. They don't break either.
I love how by mass effect 3, the turian hierarchy and human alliance are practically bros.
Garrus and Shep brought the rivals together for all time.
Placing the 'blame' for a demotion onto the person who promoted them in the first place is such an interesting concept. One of the reasons i really like the Turians.
SecondSince Not necessarily the right answer.
Case n point yes if you promote a blabbering baffone yes the blame lies solely on you.
But if a cunning individual who is not up to the task fakes his achievements and lies about his abilities successfully by tricking everyone e or by stealing other people's accomplishments and he gets promoted...the blame is certainly that of the liar.
The only reason why this doesn't happen with the Turians is because of their strong ethics code....or we just aren't told about it.
Well, it's explained in their description that they have a strong sense of civic duty that comes in part from their ten to fifteen years of mandatory military service, starting with boot camp at age 15. In short they prioritize the group over oneself to the point where criminals more often than not will confess to their crimes if directly confronted about their wrongdoings.
The promoter would still be guilty of being taken in by a ruse, judging not just the merit, but also the character of said promotee is a crucial task. You could argue that placing blame for the failures of a demoted Turian on his promoter is quite open for abuse by a cunning corrupt Turian seeking to abuse his rank from behind a shield, and you'd be right, but establishing the character of an individual you've sponsored for promotion is easily as important as their competence.
So like any system there's no clear "winner", mostly just circumstantial trade offs in either direction.
@@sidetracker3496 Makes sense to me! But it is a truly fascinating concept!
Note: I agree however with the people who say this, it does have its flaws.
Would probably Rai efficiency for the human race quite a bit if this was implemented in our own society.
"Garrus. How high up in the hirarcy are you theese days?
I rather not say Shepard"
Primarch Garrus Vakarian... how does that sound?
@@Paerigos sounds like a LOT of calibrations........
But man i miss garrus. Best brother in arms you coud ask for.
@@rotschadel3574 there is no Shepard without Vakarian
@@Paerigos please whatever you do don't let garrus calibrate the entire hierarchy or the reapers won't even make it into the galaxy because they were scoped
I like that the Turians have a societal model that is intrinsically bound within, and unsupportable without, the personal honour of the individual. It has a distinctly Roman feel to it.
well Cen Turians?
Huh, seven playthrough and never claim to that conlusion. Thank you👏
It’s like an amalgamation of Roman, Spartan and Soviet doctrine.
it’s essentially a Stratocracy.
Turians are one of my favorite alien civilizations,they're badasses.
@@whereswilliam488 that guy need to pick one.
Angry Happy WW2 2 SPACE BOOGALOO
Will Swanson They arent really fascistic just authoritarian. Fascism has to do more with traditional values and racism/speciesism.
Acceleration the Turkish Hierarchy is inspired and reminiscent of Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers and some the Roman Empire. Authoritarian but it works for Turians, whether or not it works for humans is a topic for discussion. As far as I can tell, all it needs is to become a republic to be compatible with humans.
@@acceleration4443 fascism isn't traditional, it's revolutionary and futurist, neither is it nessicarily racist. turian society seems pretty fascistic to me.
I've always considered Turians as similar to the ancient Spartans. I know they get compared to ancient Romans but the strict militaristic organization of their society, and their core values are the same as they were in ancient Sparta.
So that's why we've never seen turian children...they all get throw off the moutains
And Rome borrowed culturally from Sparta. There are valid comparisons to both. Turians seem to be philosophically Aristotelian and Socratic, as much as they are politically Classical Republican (Roman). Rome's military was directly inspired by Sparta. So I think that comparing them to Rome is better because it's more encompassing of all of these philosophical Greco-Roman values. Public service and civic nationalism were paramount in both societies.
But if Turians are Spartan-Rome, then Asari are more Athenian.
Looking closely, Spartan culture of not accepting slaves or non Spartan free civilians into becoming Spartan citizens was its downfall. Spartans only made up 10% of their population while slaves made up 80%. Their strict military discipline was the result of them fearing slave revolts which also forced them to only commit 1/3 of their force to war. This in turn resulted in their decline after their wars with Athens which saw almost all their military aged men killed. Alexander never invaded them cuz by his time Spartan only had 1500 men but they were only a shadow of their former selves. By the time of Roman Empire Sparta was jus a tourist attraction. Their discipline during the Roman times was just borderline physical abuse which is what we see in 300 or in books. Which is why Turians is more suited to be compared to Roman legionaries as they both were involved in not just military but public infrastructure, fire fighting, law enforcement and government clerks
The crisp narration really adds a nice element of immersion. Very well done!
Earth fell within hours, and Thessia fell within days...but Palaven never fell. That, for me, is a shining example of who the Turians were. They were so insanely badass that they fought the entire Reaper armada to a standstill.
Except, if I remember correctly, Earth was attacked by a hell of a lot more Reapers than Palaven.
And the Krogans intervened on Palaven while the Humans were all alone until the end with all of their leaders having died on Arcturis Station.
And realistically, the Turians have been around in space for longer than humanity, which means they should have had better infastructure then humanity, yet they still had an extraordinarily tough time fighting much, much less reapers with the help of the Krogans.
Meh, Chuck Norris was on Poker Night and didn't even hear about the attack
Palaven was attacked by less Reapers than Earth, Earth and the Systems Alliance in general got the spearhead of the Reaper invasion. The Turians also had the largest military in the galaxy so it's really no surprise tbh
This is some very well written, narrated and produced content. Very hard work has been put into it. Hope you get more recognition, and keep up the hard work.
Lol.. she read it word for word from the website, Mass Effect WIKI fandom..... I was on it yesterday and just happen to be reading about the turians.. She used a paragraph here and a paragraph there and stiched it togther. (Word for word) Yeah what a lot of hard work. Lol she stole it and claimed as hers.. She even hearted your comment hahaha.. What a joke
The turians are definitivally my favourite sci-fi warrior race
Wheare most of them have vanity and wantom violence, they have duty
I miss the Mass Effect of old so much! The original trilogy is to this day my favorite game series of all time and I remember the great times I had with it very vividly!
-For all the shit we've been through, we had a damn good ride.
-The best...
Turians are some of my favorite aliens very well thought out and designed
With the exception of their warships, which look fragile.
@@SagaciousNihilist all mass effect ships look fragile
All led to a fateful choice:
orange, blue, or: green.
And this is why I scroll down the comments section before making snarky comments. :P
Which is why Andromeda was a great idea, and honestly, I really enjoyed it. Too bad it had a horrible launch, and had horrible developers.
and i picked blue just because blue represented paragon.
@@willhuey4891 which is what the reapers want you to think. Because blue meant you let yourself be indoctrinated. Red is the only choice to free shepards mind
Green
I really teared up near the end. Man I miss Mass Effect.
I just watched this. I think I need to play through it this month.
Good for you then Legendary Edition is coming soon
I’m here from the future : rejoice !
Mass effect was perhaps for me the most amazing adventure space saga that I have ever played. Anyone who has played John Sheppard knows what I'm talking about.
i thought his name was gary
His name was "Commander".
1st name 'commander, 2nd name 'shepard'
Actually his name was only one word, 'shepard'
Who says Shepard was a guy =P
We’ll bang, ok?
Just a note to your writers: intergalactic war would imply that the milky way was fighting andromeda or something. What the turians experienced was an interstellar war. Still massive, but no where near the same magnitude or required technology for a true intergalactic war
This is one of the best ideas for a UA-cam Channel I've ever seen. Keep up the good work!
I'd love to see some from comic books too. Like the Shi'ar for example.
Huck Hinshaw good idea or the kree
Skrulls too
Good work - recommendations for more videos:
Protoss (Starcraft)
Brotherhood of Steel (Fallout)
Covenant (Halo)
Hyperion (Borderlands)
Protoss Empire
The Imperium of Man ( Warhammer 40 000)
imperium of man is too vast to be well covered in a 10 min video they would need to do a 30 min video to cover it all
They covered that shit in 16 minutes lmao
Sphinxian Treecats Honor Harrington Universe)
“Over the colony of digeris, the hierarchy suffered the deadliest losses in its history”
Reapers: are you sure about that
would love to see more mass effect videos, elder scrolls videos, half life videos, any science fiction movies or books, what about any vids based on asimov books like foundation.
gimmie more i love all your stuff so far
Defiantly a video about the foundation will be very cool!
i will also love all of the other topics that Anthony Delucia suggested
The Galactic Republic (old or new)
The Sith Empires
The Galactic Empire
Umbarans
Hutt Space and Empires
All are star wars
Javier Powell
Don't forget about the Yuuzhan Vong.
No griping about them being 'non-canon'!
The Federation from starship troopers
Make sure you do the book of Starship Troopers

NICE, I was hoping you guys would do some Mass Effect stuff as well. You all officially have me hooked.
One theme I adore about the mass effect trilogy is the message that you get out what you put in. Humanity spends its time saving the galaxy, and in return the entire galaxy shows up to save humanity. The shots of the entirety of every civilization in the Milky Way showing up above earth literally brought a tear to my eye.
How is this not on the news everywhere? There should be parades and great celebrations to welcome our Joint-Galactic friends to Earths surface.
You manage to present belivable in-universe content while obviously being outside any particular setting. I love this channel
And yet the xenos consider humans "warlike"....meanwhile the citadel counsels destroyed entire worlds to keep people in line and then starts a war with the "warlike" race just because they are new to space.
It's possible, if not probable, that the Reaper Sovereign, was at least partially responsible for both of those events, pulling the strings from the shadows.
I love this channel so much, the way you talk about it as if it’s non-fictional makes it much more immersive in the video
Glad I found this channel. Hope you guys provide more & more in-depth analyzations of all races/factions of popular games, movies, etc.
Love it! Great job with even describing the events of the games with out telling too much about the decisions made. Also loved you collaberation with Star Wars Explained!
I would love to see more from Mass Effect and Star Wars
Omg thank you so much!!! I was searching for something like this!!!! Good on you !!! Also you have a good voice.
Very well done! Keep up the good work guys.
What a complex and beautiful civilization. This is an amazing and informative video. This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites!
Your videos are always presented in an interesting view
You guys know how to make lore videos interesting and immersive, well done! You've earned my sub.
Fascinating culture and there is a really interesting dynamic between them and humanity. The shared respect, old wounds and a strange fascinating on both ends.
Fantastic video. Excellent presentation and production values. Can't imagine the amount of work that goes into making one of these
Wonderfully done, I'll watch everything you have and impatiently wait for more.
So I just subscribed and watched a few of your videos, and I already friggen LOVE you guys. Keep this going, this channel is special.
High quality video and amazingly detailed! Subbed!
amazing! thank you for doing this. Would love to see the history of the Asari next in this Mass Effect series.
I love how these end in a sort of cliffhanger dependent on player choice. Well done.
Impressive work !
I especially liked the "official-like" depiction of the attack on the Citadel.
That was fantastic. I love this angle of the recent history of Mass Effect from one it's major and important and yet understated, players.
You did the topic genuine justice. Thank you.
Love the tract that was used in the video. Should be used more often in future videos.
Great video hope you guys do more mass effect stuff.
I almost shed tears at the narration. Then you heartlessly reminded me of how the games peaked basically on 1 and only declined from there. sniff
Damn, got goosebumps as I somewhat relived my Mass Effect playthrough as you we're telling the story.
keep up the awesome content guys..
How about a video about the Goa'uld System Lords from Stargate?
Ohhh, good shout!! :-)
Hear hear!
This was really interesting.
I'd love to see more videos on the rest of the species!
This is amazing keep up the great and hard work
Just Subbed!!!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR VOICE!!!
Love what you create!
After i watched the video about the CIS on the Star Wars Explained channel and understood what this channel was all about I thought to myself "I really hope they have a video about a Mass Effect nation!" So happy to see they did, what a great piece!!!
I want to see you do the Andromeda Initiative, Angara, Kett, Asari, Spectres, N7, STG, Salarians, Protheans, and Reapers
Great history on the hierarchy. Your channel will prosper
Super job, loved it! 👍👍
Clear, conscience, informative, and subscribed to. Good work.
Love the vid, great job.
Wonderful work!
Another great video! I'd love to see some stuff on Doctor Who. Keep up the good work!
This is a very cool channel. Great job! :D
imperium of man from 40k
Boi are you in luck
You got 30 hours?
Star wars explained brought me here
Great content guys, keep it up
More Mass Effect and Star Trek. Love this Channel!!
The history of John Carter's Mars (Barsoom) would make for a great video. I love this channel a lot. It's completely encylopedic and that's a good thing.
Great video and presentation. Turian Empire FTW.
This was wonderful! I'd love to see your channel tackle Iain Bank's The Culture. They're ridiculously fascinating, though finding enough visual media might be difficult.
What i love about mass effect is how positive it is about different goverment structures!
This channel is insanely good. The narrator for most of the sci-fi series is so clear and concise and really does deserve so much credit for presenting such complex worlds and storylines so well, though the channel as a whole is excellent. Something that might be interesting to go into is how these societies might function on a broader level outside of the lore that has been given to us. For example, what are the social other norms in Turian society or, in W40k, what roles do sexuality and criminality play in such a large and diverse empire, and with the multitude different species? These may seem like abstract things but they all relate, as we are seeing now, to the issues advanced societies face, such as those in the video and those we live in. I think it'd be really interesting to think about how a lot of the political, social and economic issues we experience now might apply to these imaginary worlds. At the end of the day, the way a lot of these games, novels, and films deal with these worlds is limited, purely out of completely human constraints like time. But still, how would things like racism and trade work between different species work in universes like those of Mass Effect and W40K?. Either way, keep doing what you're doing, it's great! Also do some stuff on the Endless Space 2 universe!!! It's so rich in unique and fascinating lore!
Found you from star wars explained...great channel!!
Rewatching your mass effect videos. God, I miss this universe. Your videos are generally great, but these are excellent.
This channel is awesome!!!!
A few recommendations for the future:
Human Alliance (Mass Effect)
NCR (Fallout)
The Empire of Mankind (Warhammer 40K)
Im not sure if there are more videos by Templin on Mass Effect, but if there isnt, id be very interezted to see some videos on other species such as Asari and krogans and such
Amazing work! Amazing!
I loved this! can you please do one on the necron dynasties? thanks!
Your content is awesome. A video about any of the factions in Dragon Age would be amazing.
It really astonishes me how many people repeatedly misuse the term "intergalactic" - not just fans, but actual sci fi authors and professional writers from multiple franchises. "Intergalactic" means "between galaxies". Mass Effect only takes place in one galaxy (even ME: Andromeda). The term you're looking for is "galactic" or "interstellar". Otherwise a great video, I always like them.
i real love this game... and your story was so beautiful thank you so much
At 7:13 you use the term intergalactic war. This would mean that the war would be fought in more than one galaxy (which wouldn't be the case). The correct term is 'interstellar war'. Just a minor detail that I noticed.
You guys should make a video about the NCR from fallout
This is my favorite channel. I'd like to know more about planet Krypton.
If you want a problem bombed, call a Turian;
if you want a problem talked to death, call an Asari.
if you want a new problem, call a Salarian.
If you want a problem SOLVED, call a Human.
- Commander Shepard, some time in 2185
These are some dope videos! Great work! Please do the Osean Federation of Ace Combat lore!
Love this!!! What is this feeling?
Holy shit I may have stumbled upon the greatest youtube channel by sheer accident, keep up the great work guys :). Any chance you could do the Systems Alliance next?
Great channel! Instant sub.
earned a sub from me, please do more mass effect factions!
One of my fav race or species in the Mass Effect Galaxy
Great vids!! How about a vid on Stargate groups like The Lucian Alliance, The Ancients etc
Keep up the great works!
More mass effect! I can't get enough
I would love to see one of these done on the Covenant.
You got a really great voice for narrating
Love this! ❤️❤️
All this did was remind me how freaking Epic! Mass effects story and world building was. I need to replay those games.
Very informative.
Hope you guys can do one of the Starcraft factions.
