Mass effect reapers9/19/2023 One week following the incident on Omega, a lone Collector vessel attacks and destroys the SSV Normandy while it's patrolling for geth in the Amada system, located in the same cluster as Omega. Aria learns from a captured Blue Suns datapad that the Collectors were also interested in the population levels of several major human worlds, foreshadowing the Collectors' master plan. The battle ends with all of the Collectors and human slaves dead, and the few surviving Blue Suns members are rounded up for interrogation and execution. The exchange is interrupted by Aria T'Loak, the Pirate Queen of Omega, and two bodyguards, who proceed to attack the Collectors and Blue Suns. A group of Collectors arrived on the space station Omega to negotiate the purchase of several humans from the Blue Suns. The earliest known modern sighting of the Collectors occurred in 2183 CE, less than a month after the Battle of the Citadel. A more likely reason was that the Collectors either detained or destroyed any vessels encroaching on their space. Another more fantastic explanation is that on the other side of the relay was a paradise which no citizen of Omega would care to leave due to the crime and suffering of the asteroid. Some speculated that there was a black hole at the relay's counterpart, but this raised the question of how the Collectors can safely use it. No vessel that ventured beyond the Omega 4 Relay ever returned, save those of the Collectors themselves. All known expeditions to investigate the Collectors failed. Thousands of years later, the modern galaxy began to report sightings of the Collectors around 1600 CE, but the mysterious aliens were widely dismissed as myths. The modifications are beyond any form of repair, each Collector drone being little more than a clone-it's unknown if they even still possess any form of gender-riddled with cybernetics, lacking glands or digestive system, and having any form of intelligence or self-awareness completely eradicated by indoctrination. While studying Collector data in the lab aboard the Normandy SR-2, Mordin Solus determines that the Reapers indoctrinated the Protheans and compensated for their growing lack of ability due to prolonged indoctrination through cybernetic modifications. Their DNA showed signs of "extensive genetic rewrite" including three fewer chromosomes, reduced heterochromatin structure, and the elimination of superfluous "junk" sequences. ![]() ![]() Since they exhibit a similar quad-strand genetic structure unique to the Protheans, Shepard realizes that the race formerly believed extinct still exists but has been completely subjugated by their Reaper masters. While exploring a supposedly derelict Collector ship, Shepard and team discover the true origin of the Collectors. Their vocal communication mostly consists of insectoid chirps and trills, although they are capable of speaking in languages other species comprehend should the need arise. Each Collector appears to be little more than a drone with no distinctions between individuals, although there are witnessed instances of drones towering over humans and their own brethren by a significant margin. The Collectors resemble human-sized bipedal insects with a chitinous exoskeleton, two anterior pairs of what appear to be vestigial limbs, four eyes, and a distinct, large, tapering head along with fully developed wings that allow them to fly over short distances.
