Everyone would more likely die out from starvation, disease, etc.
Think of all the aliens stranded in Sol.
The Krogan genophage is cured but now they are stranded on a dead radioactive rock. They will die out.
Maybe they can build a relay eventually but the problem is relays link together, without being able to communicate with the other side, coordination could not happen, nor could they travel that far in a realistic amount of time to setup a connecting relay.
This is the stone ages again. These people have been reliant on this tech for their entire lives. They are screwed.
If I hear someone say "stone age" one more time, swear to God.
First, people are resourceful. They won't all starve. Do you think the Quarians, for instance, just "planned" to leave their homes? That some guy with an MA in city planning just put everything together nice and neat?
No. It was Battlestar Galactica. It was put your backside into any ship that will carry you and go. NOW.
But they survived.
Earth's technology and infrastructure aren't completely gone. The tech of the other fleets is still there. It won't be easy, but they'll survive. Hell, there will be galactic unity on Earth by sheer virtue of the races there and necessity.
The Krogan? You mean that burned out planet they were
already living on. Already having (albeit few) families on? They'll figure it out. And if they are too stuck in feudalism and lay waste to themselves? Social Darwinism.
It's NOT the stone age. FTL travel at worst would be limited to your own cluster.
The relays can be rebuilt. The Protheans reverse engineered one. I'm sure every power was working on the same thing since ME 1.
They may well be stuck for decades...but they're not stuck forever.
And the point of this series...the ENTIRE point...has been that you do what you do to prevent the galaxy from being scrubbed clean of most everything in it.
That happens, And the galaxy gets a chance to rebuild on its own terms.
It hasn't been so that everything could be perfect for the galaxy. Or that your friends make it.
Or even that you make it.
That might tick you off because you're invested and I get that. But the story was never about Shepard.
