Asari-Krish'Xa War

The Asari-Krish'Xa War was the result of a failed attempt by the Asari to reach out and make galactic relations to the native Krish'Xa of the forest planet, Devirix.
==History==
When the Asari first began surveying Devirix in 2512, they began getting large readings about an abundance of life on the surface. In response, they landed a science team on the surface, who very quickly were greeted by the Krish'Xa, a barbaric, rat-like race still in its Industrial Age.
At first, the natives were curious of these newcomers, and cautiously allowed the Asari to study them. It wasn't until they discovered the Asari had taken their dead and used them to study their biology that the Krish'Xa became hostile towards them. They began attacking Asari science teams and security detail, rallying other packs, and inventing tools for war.
In turn, the Asari sent a detachment of their second fleet, attempting to retaliate against the savages. The resulting war went on for about a month. Asari forces attacked with higher technology weapons, air support, and biotics , while the Krish'Xa's knowledge of their terrain, as well as sheer numbers and guerilla style tactics, were able to keep the Asari in check. According to an account by one survivor from the war, "They even found ways to take down our gunships. I saw them aim a catapult at one and fire off two heavy rocks at my squad's air support, and drag it down while the beasts ripped it apart with their guns.". However, the Asari weren't outmatched. Their superior firepower and tactics eliminated twice as many Krish'Xa killed in the conflict than Asari.
After about a month into the war, 11,000 Asari were already killed or wounded in the fighting, while the Krish'Xa suffered over an estimated 25,000. The Asari government tried asking the Citadel Council for aid. They were refused, being scolded for sending thousands to their graves over a war with locals that just wanted them to leave. However, the Council did agree to bar all galactic relations with the Krish'Xa upon the Asari's retreat , which they accepted.
