Now let's talk over throwing the council. First you would need to almost completely wipe out C-Sec and the Citadel fleet, because they aren't just going to stand by and let you or who ever you plan to instate run the council. Right there you just killed maybe a million C-Sec and military personal and in the process destroyed the wards at the same time.

No - in a decapitation attack, you would remove the senior leaders, then bring the existing organizations into the new government.

So you've got your little government in place run by whoever you choose. Looks good doesn't it?

Make sure you get a reasonably compliant puppet, and create some appearance of legitimacy.  Use various incentives to persuade societal leaders to support the puppet.

As for rebel groups, and as you suggest, people want stability.  Provide it, along with abundant propaganda to remove legitimacy from the opposition.

Okay, I've got to put my ten cents worth into this discussion on the council.

Over throwing the council over abandoning the quarians three centuries ago? That is the worst decision I've ever heard.

Most of you guys grew up in North America and Western Europe, so you've been cozy enough that you can consider that someone else could do the job of running a nation better than the current leaders.

I'm an immigrant from South Africa and have been living in the States for over a decade. The most important thing I've learned is that the status quo is the greatest thing ever. Even your darkest days would be the golden age of South Africa. I'm talking about a nation that is the rape capital of the world and has one, if not the highest, rate of violent crimes in the world.

Now let's talk over throwing the council. First you would need to almost completely wipe out C-Sec and the Citadel fleet, because they aren't just going to stand by and let you or who ever you plan to instate run the council. Right there you just killed maybe a million C-Sec and military personal and in the process destroyed the wards at the same time.

So you've got your little government in place run by whoever you choose. Looks good doesn't it? It's not, after thousands of years of being run rather effectively by the council (the council has to at least be as efficient as the EU or the U.S. government) there are going to be plenty of people who will realize that for all it's flaws the council did a pretty damn good job at what it did. Now you're going to have underground revolution groups wanting to overthrow you. You're going to have to bring down an iron fist only making people hate you more and further agitating the public. It will get worse and worse and you'll realize that in your attempt to forcibly make the council pay for their past crimes, you've only made things worse.

 

Lets not forget the  current  Councilors can call on their respective   Government Military's for Aid so  add the Turian Fleet  with its 36 dreadnoughts, the Asari  and their 26,   Salarians with 16 and  humans with 8 plus each own respective  fleet... On top of the fact that  the galactic economy  would fall apart from that level of Coup...   You sir are hero.

Ugh...

This conversation got old an hour ago.

I was busy and nothing grinds my gears more than ungrateful citizens discussing plots to overthrow safe, secure, well managed governments.

I expect better from a government that claims to represent everyone's best interests.

That is all.

That's a necessary and useful element.  Make the population dependent on the new regime.

If Shepard didn't already lay dibs on Tali, she should go to that hanar, who probably scores with a hundred chicks anyway.  Daily.

True... The  would be still the major flaw in a  violent  Coup  of the  Council is that its is  not a ruling  body it functions just like the UN. a mediating and peace keeper. You still have to deal with the vested interest of the Alliance,  the Turian Hierarchy, the Asari and the Salarians.  the Most dangerous being the  Hierarchy( numbers and Fire power) and the Alliance(Tactics)
