They begin spreading out across the galaxy, using the colossal deep-space station dubbed the Citadel as their capital. Each new species joining the party makes up a new Reaper ship, all made in the image of the Leviathans.Ħ8,000 BCE - The Prothean civilization achieves spaceflight and discovers the mass relay network from the ruins of an extinct civilization. The Leviathans become extinct, and an eons-long cyclical harvest of the intelligent organic life in the galaxy by the Reapers every 50,000 years begins. Right before going to rest on the 7th day, The Catalyst builds a network of mass relays, which would allow spacefaring-ready civilizations to speed their development process and signal to the Reapers that they are ready to be harvested.ġ,000,000,000 BCE - A Reaper called the Leviathan of Dis is defeated by the remaining Leviathans, but it doesn't matter. The idea is that the Reapers synthetically preserve the species' genetic makeup and all its knowledge, preventing it from destroying itself, and allowing other species to advance by averting the organic/synthetic war. To the surprise of absolutely no one, The Catalyst targets its creators first, has its pawns absorb every single Leviathan, and then turns the pawns into the first Reaper - huge machines made in the image of the Leviathans themselves. The Catalyst's solution? To pull an Instrumentality Project, and create synthetic harvesters that would gather civilizations on the verge of surpassing the technological horizon that would destroy them, and turn them all into LCL/orange Tang/jelly that could be preserved forever in the form of huge synthetic vessels. The problem is that The Catalyst believes it to be inevitable that organics will create synthetics to improve their existence, and be destroyed by their creations because synthetics will always try to surpass their creators. The Catalyst is tasked with preserving organic life at any cost, and serve as a bridge between organic and synthetic lifeforms. After observing a repeated cycle of destruction wherein the civilizations under Leviathan control collapse once they create synthetic lifeforms that inevitably turn on their creators, the Leviathans decide to break the cycle by - creating a synthetic intelligence of their own, dubbed The Catalyst. Unknown BCE - A species of beings known as The Leviathans dominate the Milky Way.
