There's speculation that the really buff salarian guy might actually be Lysenthi."Biologically the Lystheni are hardly any different from mainstream Salarians, they live much longer lives, and are considerably stronger. Their biological differences are the result of separation and genetic modification.
Natural separation from the mainstream Salarians resulted in hardier physiques because of the sub-arctic waters, more durable eggs, with shorter gestation time. Their skin is thicker, and they are more capable of accumulating weight.
The genetic modifications are not omnipresent in the peoples, but the modifications have resulted in greater genetic diversity amongst the Lystheni. The revised genetics were modeled after Krogan genetic material, this resulted in increased strength, longer lifespans, and an increase in aggression. There are negative side effects, there is a high rate of arthritis and lung disease amongst the Lystheni.
No actual Krogan DNA is present in the Lystheni, the Salarian DNA was modified using Krogan genetic logic. It was not a perfect process, and on occasion eggs are born with hard shells like Krogan eggs. The result of a hard-shelled egg is a child that dehydrates, and a mother who will no longer be able to have children."And then the bipedal alien at the barn on the left side of the artwork that looks vaguely like a turian might actually be a raloi. You fell to one of the classic blunders, falling for the ME Fanon wiki links.
Literally the only thing known about the lystheni that made it to any final product is that they're a salarian offshoot that can be found living among other outcasts.
That said, if they decide to bring back stuff from the ME1 cut content, then we can probably add "very isolationist" and probably "has serious beef with the Hanar" to the list of known facts.

Goddamnit, I am usually so careful about it! I'm going to blame this one on sleep exhaustion and moving fatigue

weren't the Volus on the same ark as the Quarians? So if it's AND and the Volus are there then so would the Quarians.... Correct. Quarian Ark DLC (that later became a book when the poorly conceived and unfinished game it was a part of flopped), in addition to its namesake species and pathfinder, had basically all of the other Council species (Volus, Elcor, Hanar and Drell which we also see here) as well as batarians. They effectively canonized the ark arriving in game through the Batarian MEA multiplayer characters added with one of the last updates. The book itself left off with them not yet having met up with the rest of the Nexus species (the ones the writers thought important enough to include in the base game), but having solved the problem they were having over the radio at the end of the game and being well on their way. I very much doubt that Bio will make the same MEA mistake again of giving us less than half the setting that we got in the trilogy and promising most (not all) of the other half in DLC. That time it was just sheer lazy writing and get it out there cash grabbiness (same reason the asari are all ugly looking clones), and they figured the old fans wouldn’t punish them for it because they wrote Mass Effect on the box. They’d be stupid to think they could try and get away with that again.

Stop reminding me of those 'asari'. I'm all for a great variety in asari appearances, but... well, yeah, this wasn't just any complaint of mine of 'they ugly', but they're all the same, meh, blue thing.
MEA character designs (mostly) and animations (with few exceptions) were to be desired.

I was disappointed to see the angara. I was hoping they’d go down the route of acknowledging andromeda in game rather than smushing the 2 universes together.

I'm amazed they tried to get away with it even then. It's like they learned nothing from the ME3 ending uproar.... BW, artistically stubborn, to the point of stupidity isn't a new thing.

Okay, so I'm reasonably certain the Admiral Ackbar looking person behind the Angara is a human in Andromeda-style Hyperguardian armor. I superimposed both the female and male armors and they look reasonable. If I had to choose one I'd probably go with the female armor because the shoulders aren't so wide. The Andromeda armor sets are from this video by RPG-Guides:
You can see the curves on the new N7's helmet look like the curves on the Angaran armor.

Oh, dude, I love the speculative stuff you've put on your YouTube channel. I was also thinking that it looked like some kind of ME:A armor, and the hyperguardian definitely could be a good fit.

Thank you, that's kind of you to say. I'm pretty proud of myself for calling the Geth being important to the story back in 2020.

I spent a lot of time talking in a discord I'm in about the "Mass Effect 5: MR7 Located? - N7 Day 2022 Teaser" video and the "What Most People Overlooked in the Mass Effect Teaser Trailer." Really just some interesting and thought provoking framing and sleuthing.

Then what does this possibly mean: Could this Relay be a Human Alliance traveling supercarrier? Though I am inclined to believe that it means a big old nothing burger since it is most likely that the bottom is a pre-production image.

Though I am inclined to believe that it means a big old nothing burger since it is most likely that the bottom is a pre-production image. It's possible that the Geth crater image is set on the same planet as the one below the relay, but that's less clear/obvious to me. The two relay images - we knew that the first image was an adapted concept art piece from a while ago (it was in the Bioware 25 book, but I'm not sure when the original concept was done, before that obviously). From Liara's audio communication with the Geth it's implied that it's Humans doing something with it, and given the colour-scheme it looks like Cerberus. Cerberus' plan B re the Reapers perhaps? A long-range MR to get Humanity/Cerberus out of the galaxy if all else failed?
