Gerrel, if you choose to allude to the data retrieved from the Alarei after the trial, explicitly states that the civilians will need a sheltered location apart from the fleet if Rannoch is ever to be assaulted.
No, Gerrel says they'll need some place to shelter their civilians if they are to fight the Reapers. A slight difference. If the quarians were to find a colony there's a good chance they'd settle down and give up on the homeworld entirely. That is why some quarians oppose settling down on a new colony. (this is brought up in
Ascension)

Qwib-Qwib is the only true peace monger here but does he actually want peace?
Considering his reaction to the tests done on the Alerai? Yes, I think he is the real deal. He is a true geth sympathizer and also an anthropomorphizer. He thinks the geth slaughtered the people on the Alerai because they were in
pain. Geth don't feel pain so we know that wasn't true.
Ultimately I agree with the basic premise of your post. Though I would say if the quarians want their world back then they need to forget about starting a new colony someplace else. The way it works is first they find a way to communicate with the geth and simply ask the geth to vacate their world, allowing them to return. Meanwhile Gerrel makes war plans and Xen conducts research. If peace works then great, the quarians get back their world and Han and Daro's plans are a back-up in case the geth ever go back on their word. Otherwise if peace talks don't get anywhere the quarains will eventually have the strategy and weapons they need to retake their homeworld.
We know from Legion's mission to board the Reaper and stop the heretic virus that permanent hacking of the geth that forever changes their way of thinking
is possible. If the heretics can do it then so can Daro'Xen. The question then is how to deploy their new weapon.
They can either hack nearby server nodes to gain control of those geth, bolstering their own forces, or if they can find a central location that the main geth use, similar to the heretic station, then the quarians can reclaim them all at once. In the end it might be a little bit of both. What the quarians could do is find isolated geth enclaves and take control of those, then once they have enough they begin a more conventional assault on their homeworld, hacking geth as they go.
I want to add one thing though: the quarians don't need to worry about having disposable ground troops. They don't need to worry about ground troops at all. What the quarians need to do is win in space. Once they've obtained orbital superiority they can simply bomb all of the geth on their homeworld. All that will happen is a lot of dust and debris will get kicked into the air which will settle back down after a few months or a couple of years at the most.
Retour en haut
Which is not a bad thing to do lol. From a purely practical standpoint (from the Quarian perspective) I would agree that this is their best option.
