From what I can tell, it wouldn't have been all that horrible for the geth to have just left the Perseus Veil. Hell, doing so in the Morning War would have been them acting in the right by showing they would rather leave then fight when they supposedly didn't want to. After all, geth don't need atmospheric living conditions, or edible crops, or any kind of organic needs. How was staying and fighting it out for worlds they themselves say they didn't need or use worth it? If it was a simple "fight for existence," couldn't they have just as easily left the Veil and taken the time to show the quarians they weren't just the mindless war tools that everyone thought they were?
And in regards to the Dyson Bubble, why the hell did they need to build it in the Tikkun System? They already proved to us they had other worlds in their range. Hell, the True Geth managed to get all the way into the Armstrong Cluster without anyone knowing. I doubt they couldn't have found other stars. Especally since they didn't start building the Dyson Bubble until roughly 30 years after the Morning War.
I'm sure the Turians, Asari, Salarians or Batarians would have welcomed them to their space!
Perhaps the Hanars Reaper slaying orbital defences would have let the Geth travel through Hanar space without getting shot down.
It's their home, they would have been intruders anywhere else.
At least the Quarians could live as refigees even if most regarded them as unwelcome vermin.
Dude....
the Council - AKA -
the Turians, Asari, and YES, the Batarians (remember, this was before humans came)
Were the ones that sent the peace offerings to the geth FIRST. Did you forget about that? THEY were the ones that gave the geth the benifit of the doubt. How did the geth respond? They shot them dead on sight. If they really wanted seculsuon that badly, they could have just as easily warned the ships off before they ever reached the Perseus Veil. Hell, they could have set up warnning bouys that played automatic messages saying "keep out" like the batarians do. Why was waiting for them to enter the Veil's borders and then killing them a more "passive" solution then just warning them off or formally refusing them?
And the hanar maintained gray market trades with the batarians, and double-dealed with them and the Alliance, so your intended joke may be closer to being on the money then you think. If anything, the hanar are one of the most accepting species out there. To them, the only thing they take offence at is eddiqute and any disrepect for the protheans.
Also, last I checked, that wasn't true for the Terminus Systems. How many illegal operations to the Council let go there, since the Terminus is "out of juristiction?" And AGAIN, geth do not need atmosphere, gravity, food, water, medicine, or any orgnaic needs. Legion himself tells you in ME2 that the geth get all their resources from orbital stations and asteroit mines. There are plenty of worlds they could inhabit in the Terminus. There were several dozen uncharted worlds. And there were multiple unclaimed stakes, like Aiea. They frequented the Hades Nexus often enough. They could reach into the Sentry Omega where Virmire was. Hell, the Heretics proved with their station that the geth don't even need a star system to survive. And wasn't it Legion that said "home is where the creators are?" Any reason why you are not applying this to the geth themselves in relation to their holding of a world they do not need?
Aslo, look what living like that for 300 years brought them. NOTHING. And in the book ME: Ascension, it is spicifically stated that the fleet has less then 80 years left before it becomes completely defunct. How the hell do you think a fleet like that will ever last against the Reapers? Especally with no one wanting to spare help for dead weight - which is what the quarians are without a world for their people to bunker down on.
Plus, shouldn't your assertation be just as applicable to the geth? They could survive in the same situation as the quarians. What exactally gives the geth more right to thrive and the quarians to suffer, and vice versa?
These are questions you aren't bringing up, answering, or likely even thinking of when you type.
