[The Big Nothing]

If, during the War Against the Reapers, your resources are stretched thin and you can only save four homeworlds, but there are five (Tuchanka: Krogan, Sur'Kesh: Salarians, Palaven: Turians, Thessia: Asari, Earth: Humans), which planet would you sacrifice?

How would you feel about this type of choice?


The things to remember are: 

1) Sacrificing Tuchanka means potentially dooming the krogan or the galaxy. There are so few krogan as it is, and if you didn't keep the genophage cure, then say 'bye-bye' to the most resilient species ever. If you did keep the cure, then say 'hello' to Krogan Rebellion 2.0 for turning on them once again.

2) Sacrificing Sur'Kesh means dooming the salarians. They are the most short-lived and intelligent species, 90% of which are male. The few females tend to stay on Sur'Kesh, so, if Sur'Kesh is gone, the baby-makers are gone too.

3) Sacrificing Palaven means losing the greatest military power. They may see the destruction of their homeworld as revenge for The First Contact War, which might spark another war with the turians once they recover.

4) Sacrifing Thessia means damaging the oldest, but most versatile and numerous species. The asari homeworld is the core of the largest economy in the galaxy, however. If Thessia falls, the economy collapses, leaving billions poor and starving after an already devastating war.

5) Sacrificing Earth means sacrificing Earth. The majority of humanity resides on Earth. Like, 11 billion or something.  Are you crazy?

Thanks a lot for making me pick between all the likeable races. Couldn't you just put vorcha and batarians in that list? It'll make it much easier for me to decide

[BiO]

Definitely an interesting situation.

I would expect Paragon would be sacrifice Earth. Renegade is obvious.

Hmm, I honestly don't know...

[Bogsnot1]

Save Thessia. Think of all the hot Asari women who would be more than eager to thank Shep personally.

Let the Earth burn, it's a den of iniquity anyhow.

[SovietCyborg]

Burn Thessia. They have ruled the galaxy for far to long. They had their time. Plus, since they can reproduce with any race of the galaxy they have far higher chances of survival and rebuilding than the other races.

[Sjaddix]

Let me see, Yeah not giving up Earth. Keep Thessia though. After that Ill pick one.

[Rajorn]

Either Tuchanka or Thessia.

[fighterchick]

I'd let Tuchanka burn. >_>

[bboynexus]

A very interesting scenario indeed!

I'd pick Earth.

I would let the reapers win. If that option is unavailable, Tuchanka. Kinda think Tali's words make sense.

[Golden Owl]

Good bye Tuchunka .... Krogan are too dangerous anyway...plus they would have pretty much wiped out most of any other species that would have lived there once anyway, so it's not like Shep would be wiping out a planet with any real potential.

The Turians, Salarians and Asari all have many colonies so even if their home planet was wiped clean by the reapers, their race would survive. Humanity doesn't have THAT many colonies and so if every human on earth is killed, the race will probably survive but suffer much more than the other races. Krogan will not survive if Tuchanka is wiped out, which may be useful IF the Genophage is cured during ME3.

Thessia is the most impressive planet if I judge it from images, while Salarians reproduce really fast and the Turian planet of Palavan is already in a bad shape after the initial reaper attack. I'd sacrifice either Palavan or Sur'Kesh or Tuchanka but only if I feel the Krogan will become a danger to the galaxy again after the reapers are defeated.

It's just such a crap world!  The one section we saw was completely in ruins and I'm sure the rest of the world should be the same.  I like the Krogan, but that would just be the lowest casualty list.

[Someone With Mass]

Let Thessia fall. The asari can live without it.

[Someone With Mass]

Oh, and Pavalen has already been taken over by the Reapers, so I don't think you can sacrifice that.

[Aetika]

Tuchanka is almost wasteland already, so I think I would sacrifice it in favor of more preserved worlds.

This.

And aside from that, they wouldn't add as much to the inevitable final battle as the other species would, aside from all-biotic troopers.

Also, leaving Sur'kesh to burn would be a death sentence to the salarians as a race, seeing how most of their females are located there.

Tuchanka is the least valuable to the war effort, and probably has the least population too - only 2.1 billion, compared to Earth's 11 billion.

edit:  Thessia apparently has huge amounts of Eezo, so it'd be strategically vital even if it was an empty wasteland.

Which reminds me of that scene from 300 where some dude accuses Leonidas for only bringing 300 soldiers...

I mentioned to population only as a humanitarian concern.  We're not going to lose the war through lack of warm bodies.

What Tuchanka lacks compared to the other homeworlds is a functioning economy, the capability to build warships and the scientific expertise to try to deal with the technological gap between the Reapers and the galaxy.
