Admiralty Board.

Wait...so they have people deciding to send them to war and they don't even vote on them? *shakes head* the more I hear the more I facepalm. And I just read the wiki. They didn't override the Conclave (if they had they would've had to resign) so yeah the Quarians decided to go to war. Like idiots. Despite my shep warning them about the reapers and warning them to save their resources.

*shakes head*

My Shep's done with Quarians. Just done.

Admirals are appointed, The Conclave is elected.

And I assume A are appointed by B? Because if so...that doesn't really make it better.

No, I would choose another race over theirs. You seemed to forget that part.

If they cannot see the truth, that isn't my fault, it's their species as a whole for becoming so biased. They shouldn't spend so much time bemoaning about their homeworld. They should get a new one. But this time ask permission from the Council first, rather than drift about complaing. Sure, it may take a few centuries to get their immune systems normal, but if they did that from the start, they wouldn't have been so lousy to begin with.

Dude I got that part; I AM SAYING THEY SHOULD GET RID OF GERREL AND XEN. Obviously those two, a war monger and a geth-crazed mechanic, aren't doing their race any favours and need a good punch (again.)

No, you are ignoring it.

So would love 3/4 of your people, not be able to fight Reapers, not have your homeworld, and probaly be attack later on by Geth, nice!

So because two leaders can see the truth, It's okay for them to die, got ya!

Again, this logic baffles me.

True, but that getting people way from enemies doesn't work if you can't kill them. Running can only work for so long, you need to kill them to really escape.

But seriously, what the hell did the quarians think getting their homeworld back would accomplish? It offers nothing.

"Oh yay, our homeworld! Lets celebrate- Wait, what's that?"
*Reapers invade and kill everyone.*

Their homeworld wouldn't grant them magical fighting powers or immedietly cure their weak immune system.

There are other races which excell at combat.  The flotilla would work best in tandem with the military might of the Alliance or Turians.  They can't win the war if they can't keep people alive.

Taking back the homeworld would also allow the Quarians to free up their fleet for it's military role in the greater galactic war effort.  The fleet would be innefectual with civilians on board, hence why they hoped to take the homeworld before the reapers arrived with countermeasures that would leave their civilians and fleet intact.  Not to mention the boost to morale that a homeworld would provide.

Okay that first part is a two-way argument, so lets just leave it be.

During a gigantic galactic war, there shouldn't be civilians; EVERYONE needs to fight, you can't simply run off and try to farm carrots while Reapers are eating everyone. Even people who are injuried/crippled can aid, rather than being dumped on a planet.

True...

I dont think its ever said how they are appointed, but the Admiralty board doesnt have quite that much power, i think they would have had to resign their positions after the war.

I agree that there should be no civilians in such a war, but they should not be clogging down the fleet which requires military training to run efficiently.  They should be growing food, making weapons, and keeping the children safe, all of which would require a world when the fleet is at war fighting.

Tali was appointed to the position, I think by the other admirals, but can't be sure so don't quote me on this.  I do know she never mentioned an election.

I am pretty sure the Quarians were growing food, making weapons, and keeping children safe on the ships in the Migrant Fleet.  Having a civilian fleet to fly around is the perfect defense already.  If they go on a planet they are just going to get Reaped.  Might as well keep flying around and get a planet after the war is over.  Getting a planet when fighting a bunch of machines who target large concentrations on planets is rather stupid.

This is even mentioned in the leaked script I believe. Tali asks EDI why doesn't she see Quarian husks. EDI says the Reapers are interested...but there's never enough Quarians in a easily accessible area that they can get at.

...guess what a homeworld would be? :innocent:

And thanks to the Quarians extremely vulnerable immune systems and mostl likely majority of civilians and any battle on Rannoch would be laughably in the Reapers favor. The Reapers have a far superior space force and the quarians ground forces...aren't that great. Heck one indoctrinated servant could wreck massive havoc by messing with whatever machines and stuff they use to sterilize things and the like. It would be even more massively onesided than Earth is with Harbinger lasering everyone that runs to the beam.

Yes, I would leave and go somewhere like the Citadel where I could actually help, rather than go along with a hare-brained scheme to get back a homeworld that would be attacked by Reapers in a few weeks/days after getting it back.

Yes, because they didn't object to this plan while they had the chance before going to the relay system. They didn't do anything to stop two of their leaders from dragging all of them, even civilians to attack a force that bit right back. That is NOT good leadership skills, it's incrediblt selfish of Gerrel and Xen to do that, but also foolish of the quarian people to let the two Admirals do that to them.

In sort, I will always side with the geth in this; they basically got Indocrinated when Legion was captured and used as a signal. The Quarians did this foolish task on their own and were the aggressors. The geth simply defended themselves, both times. Therefor, for this and other reasons, I would choose the geth to save.

The fleet would be the perfect defense if you knew that the reapers would be defeated.  Reaper victory however would mean almost certain death, the fleet can't hide forever without planets to resuply and repair on, and the reapers have so far given no indication that they can be defeated by anything less than the entire might of the galaxy.  Also, they might be relying on their small population to save them for last after the major races are taken care of.  After all, the reapers sent an armada to Palaven, they only sent a destroyer to Tuchanka.

Without a planet, they can't help stop the reapers, without their help, reaper victory becomes even more likely.

Agree with Silent. From convos with Tali, quarians grow all their food on their ships; they only bargin out side to get materials they cannot make on their own, so they have no actual need to get their homeworld.

It is still in the game actually.

Also, even if the reapers harvested them, there are only 17 million total.  Odds are there are billions of assorted cannibals, husks, and marauders.  Statistics say you wouldn't see them anyways.  They either take their chances on a homeworld and die there, or they all die as soon as the fleet suffers a defeat.

Reapers are capable of cloning. That's what they did to the Prothean slaves. If they make good Reaper slaves it's almost certain Shep'd see it at some time. Even if it's just as a backup (especially since they concentrated a majority of their forces on Earth to defend the Catalyst). You see a hell of a lot of Banshees.

Ding ding ding.  If the Reapers beat the allies they are dead whether they have a homeworld or not.  That really doesn't matter.  They at least have the abililty to play one heck of a game of hide and seek before they die with the fleet.

Actually, when the Quarian male was introduced into multiplayer, there was a Bioware post on the multiplayer section saying how some Quarians on pilgrimage refused the call back and later helped train the Vorcha.

Don't know if this is canon however...

You know what's funny, their attack on Rannoch is the only reason that peace between the Geth and Quarians happens (if you achieve it of course)

Sorry, but pretty sure it's one of those.

And depending on the role the Quarian husks could play would influence whether you see them.

Ardat-Yakshi make great assault units and are a good investment.  If Quarians could only be made into common husks, I doubt the reapers would invest in them when they have plentiful humans and batarians.

Well, the Geth and Quarians are equally innocent. The Geth were forced into the Reapers' arms, and then "indoctrinated".

The Quarians were forced into conflict by their Admirals.

So... I would save the Geth. Purely because there are many, many more Geth. I can't emotionally judge two species against each other. Neither one is "more deserving" of life. They both deserve to live.

Not true, the Conclave decided to go to war. The the views of the individuals among the Admirality Board conflict too much to ever be able to come to that decision.
