Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Maybe if it can ask for help. The Geth are all about finding their own way, maybe that's how you join. If you can ask, you're eligible.

Watcher- I kinda want the Prawns to be semi-loyal to the humans, but almost have no other choice. Maybe the Ood would be more fitting of a homeworld invasion? It could be a corporate adventure by Weyland Yutani?
I forgot about the Ood. They would much better fill the role you had for the prawns.
"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

I think the Ood are a far better slave race to be slapped around. Perhaps humans are more merciful to the Prawns, allowing them to live in special reservations. Ood meanwhile are a nice alternative to robots.

I like that, if a synthetic contacts the geth then the geth will act.

Maybe the Prawns once had a large empire that fell, scattering them across the galaxy as they fled and ended up scattered around in those spaceships from the movie. That way, the happenings of film could take place

In the movie, it's implied that the Poploweeka (Prawns) had a very powerful empire, but that the ship on Earth had broken down, hence the unhealthy state of its occupants. Also, the aggressive and sometimes stupid behavior of many Poploweeka is due to the fact that most of them belong to a "worker" caste, and aren't as intelligent as the "leader" caste.

They said they had an empire? Cool. I know the cast thing. In an Empire collapse scenario, maybe the higher casts would die out.

Smething like that, yeah. I don't think that they were actually trying to get here, they were probably headed somewhere else and had technical problems. However, at the end of the film, it's implied that Christopher and his son are going to contact their homeworld and tell them about the stranded ship... What the means for the humans is left to the viewer's imagination.

Shall we say then that the prawns did land on Earth (when humans had at least colonised the Solar System) and the events shown in District 9 did happen. (Apart from Wikus turning into a prawn, that doesnt suit this setting).

Christopher and his son escape back home but never return since the Covenant fleet smashes through their homeworld and forces them to flee, the prawns never left their solar system and so had nowhere to run to but a common ally. The humans. After the war much of their leadership had been killed off so many of the drones began to accept humans as their new leaders, although with noew leadership casters being born the prawns will either be granted independance or become full citezens of the UNSC.

The Ood meanwhile were discovered by humans in the early days of exploration, but they were initially discovered by the Weyland Yutani Corporation. WY found at that removing the Ood's second brain left the species absoutely docile and so exploited this. Ood are used in the lowest of the low jobs, seeing as they are cheaper in cost to replicants and live longer. Patricularily popular among the Outer Colonies who already hold highly xenophobic attitudes after the Covenant War they are generally treated like cattle.

What about those Ood masterminds in that episode.
I like your Prawn story.

Makes a great deal of sense. Maybe their home system has a Halo in it and they were exploring it, and the Covenant decided the needed to be exterminated for contaminating it.

Or if you want to make things really suck for them, have their empire be mostly destroyed in the Reaper-Dalek War, but a few colonies survived, small but well developed, like Australia and New Zealand. Then the Covenant destroyed those, making humans practically saints as far as aliens go in their eyes.

The Reaper-Dalek war is not a part of this version, that is Yellow's :)

Instead there is the forerunner-prothean war, perhaps their scavenger nature got them in the way of the conflict as they looted ruined worlds? Leading to retribution. The Covenant discovered records of forerunners killing prawns and so assumed it was holy to slaughter them as well.
