Turians easily have the best military. They are militaristic species, while humans are more known as a jack-of-all-trades species. They have 39 dreadnaughts to humanity's 8. While that ratio probably doesn't apply to overall fleet size, it wouldn't be a stretch to say the Turian fleet is larger. Not to mention more advanced; it was the Turians whom developed the Thanix Cannon, so even if the other species have gotten their hands on it, the Turians have likely outfitted a larger percentage of their fleet with Thanix than the other races.

They also have a much larger economy, which is crucial in wartime. Having another species oversee your economy is a nice thing for the Turians, as they don't have to worry about it so much themselves.

Finally, they have been established in Citadel space far longer than Humans and thus have more colonies and subsequently a greater population.

I choose the Turians over the Asari because while Asari Commandoes are fearsome opponents, they aren't large in number and the Asari lack a centralized military (I believe). I also remember than if the Destiny Ascension is destroyed, the Asari cede their share of military defense to the Turians, implying the Turians are the superior military power.

When all is said and done though, the most powerful and advanced army doesn't always win. There are too many variables in war. After all, somehow the Citadel races are going to defeat the Reapers. I'd put my money on the Turians, nothing is certain.

This has actually got me thinking about Asari reproduction. Nearly their entire population are able to mate amongst themselves, other races, or hell, even POW's. Makes me think that if they wanted to they could have a massive population explosion, but it would take time. I don't think humans or the turians could take them out quick enough to prevent that.

You would probably end up with a stalemate where all three sides were weakened so much that another race could easily finish them off one by one.

I also agree with hawkens982, it would be very interesting to see what other military hardware the races are using. I'm hoping ME3 opens up the lore in those areas (even if a lot of it can't be portrayed in game).

Sheep, they look harmless, but that's what they want you to think.

Don't be fooled by these animals, New Zealand fell to the sheep because we were careless. We thought we could control them, we were wrong.

OT: Turians because they have the largest fleet in the galaxy.

Humans.

Shepard goes and ___, kills everything ever, then invests in all their stores.

[Izhalezan]

All three sides will fight until they're so weak that Zoidberg can come in and claim victory over all three, now Zoidberg is the popular one.

The dreadnought counts that we've got are the most straightforward evidence of Alien fleet superiority.  Though Alliance Carriers might counter that a little.

Less straightforwardly but more compellingly, the Turians as an established space empire must have resources far outweighing that of our own - and given how they are characterised it is impossible to conclude that they would not devote at least as much if not more of their resources to their navy.  Their own empire and their role as the Council's peacekeepers would also compel them to have a far larger fleet than the Alliance - which is itself clearly rather overstretched given it's inability to actually prevent pirate raids on human worlds.

The Asari probably aren't highly militarised, but the dreadnought count, as well as the Destiny Ascension, suggests that they haven't neglected their fleet at least.

Dreadnaught numbers will not win a war. Luke Skywalker detroyed the Death Star in an X-Wing.

Asari are weak. Turians are predictable. Humans and turians would fight to a stalemate. Salarians would take advantage of the obvious threat and summarily destroy the asari, human, and turian militaries.

Personally? I think Turian's would win, as shown by their willingness to deploy the Genophage, Turian won't hesitate to do whatever is necessary, combined with the fact the leaders of both the Asari and Alliance are a part of the council (presuming the council were saved in ME1) and that according to the codex the security on the Citadel is primarily Turian, with a few humans (once again, assuming the council were saved) thus the Turian's could pull off a military coup of the Citadel in no time at all, winning them either victory (White-Gold Concordat style, like the Thalmor and Empire in Skyrim) OR the control of all the Mass Effect relays (as the Citadel is the central control system) crippling the maneuverability of the enemy troops. Also, the Volus HAVE to be taken into consideration, as "they were voluntarily absorbed into the the Turian Hierarchy" (source: The Codex) and war is a matter of governments, not races, and as the Turians maintain the Volus within the Hierarchy, they control most of the trade agreements within Citadel space.

Asari.

Turians may have the largest fleet - but Asari would probably be able to sway more races around to their side. Not to mention the remaining Krogan would love any excuse to go after the Turians.

Nobody would join the humans, most of the galaxy hates us.

The point is that the Asari, Humans, and Turians have somehow gotten into a full-scale three-sided with one another. No outside influences, no alliances, no diplomacy, no rules but these rules.

All this being said, the Turians win this. Turians have the largest military fleet and the largest availible army. Every Turian recieves military training at 15. While humanity may be able to recruit large numbers of people should war break out, there simply wouldn't be enough time to train and equip a force needed to stand against a Turian force. The Turians are better equppied, better prepared and could mobilize the quickest.

The Asari really wouldn't play a major role here. They do have biotics, but they lack any military structure. They do have very well trained units, but they aren't prepared for front line combat and there aren't many of them.

Shepard is human, therefore humans win. In addition, asari are incompetent strippers and dancers, and turians are just stupid. Humans are the only ones willing to do whatever it takes to win.

Assuming the turians don't have stealth frigates (and I see no evidence that they do)

The Normandy SR1 was a Turian and Human collaboration, and most of it's advanced features (stealth primarily) are due to the Turian designed Mass Effect drive(/Core, I never remember) that it's carrying
