The problem with this is that it's in the Terminus systems, so even if the Alliance or Council was willing to fight the Collectors, sending a dreadnought would spark war. And Cerberus doesn't have any dreadnoughts to send.
What the hell in the Terminus Systems is so powerful? Batarians? Mercs? Geth? A bunch of pissed off Asari?
From the codex and various other sources, the Alliance fleet was bigger than the Batarians by 2160. It seems like anything else that's there would get steamrolled by the Citadel fleet without much trouble.
I've actually wondered about this myself. I mean you never see any sort of standing military, in fact Terminus is known for lawlessness, pirates and mercs. Nothing there suggests anything to rival the Alliance, much less the combined Citadel fleets. The way the Council talked in ME1 I would have thought there'd be hostile alien races not found in Citadel space, or at least some sort group of baddies capable of taking on a Citadel fleet.
That is the issue. The Codex basically says that perhaps there might be some 'entities' that may control more than one system but there really is no unified government as such. So while there is a danger it certainly is NOT on the order of the danger presented by the Reapers. Besides who rules Omega? If it is Aria then quite frankly she has a lot of reason to NOT want the Collectors around because after all it seems to have been them that let loose the plague on the station intending to wipe out her power base. But this is off the point of this whole thread. Got to work on my new motivational poster.
The danger would not be exlcusively from Omega. Other Terminus system leaders would be alarmed by the presence of a Council dreadnought so close to their own territories. It's analogous to the Cuban missile crisis. Sanctioned by the local government, but the more powerful leaders nearby won't stand for it. But I agree that this is off topic, Bring on the motivationals.
