The Alliance keeps evacing colonies throughout ME3. Where exactly are these refugees supposed to go?

[General TSAR]

Sanctuary, or the Citadel, or the nearest Reaper free zone.

[Br3admax]

A lot of them are being drafted as well. Where else would they go?

[themikefest]

I believe some went to Sur'kesh

[SwobyJ]

People already saying it, but:
-Sanctuary (ew hope not)
-Citadel (we see this)
-Drafted (Crucible work, or Alliance)
-Any other colonies not hit yet

[cap and gown]

Why would the Alliance send people to a facility they know nothing about? And as far as the Citadel is concerned, there is no room there. Shepard can even enforce a no-landing policy. And why send them to another colony only to have to evac them again?

[SwobyJ]

Ok, they sent them to the Reapers to be harvested. Sorry

[JasonShepard]

It's a big galaxy. The main reason that the Prothean War took centuries was because there was always more space to fall back to.

In other words - retreat to a system that the Reapers haven't reached yet. And when they do reach that system, evacuate to another one. It isn't perfect, but it'd work.

(To quote Hackett: "The reality is, Shepard, everything I'm doing is a delaying action for you.")

The last batch of news reports on the Citadel includes

"As fighting continues, the Reapers now control more than half the inhabitable galaxy."

So there's still a bunch of space left to evacuate people to, for a little while.

nope ... it took them so long, because there were so many worlds to harvest. when the reapers invaded the prothean empire, they shut down the relay network - isolating every cluster. at least thats how they did it in me1 and 2.

the only chance to flee, was to find new worlds within the cluster.

@OP, your question goes hand-in-hand with: What makes anyone think that Sanctuary is a "Safe Zone"?

[shodiswe]

People go wherever they can, til they die or run out of fuel or transportation.

Many colonies were harvested by the collectors already. Large colonies like Terra Nova would be impossible to relocate. People would be on their own. We'll rebuild after the war, but it won't be the same.

[shodiswe]

Also, private shuttles can travel through space and traverse relays.
The Shuttle onboard the normandy would be capable but the supplies are limited.

Thats why there are so many crashed refugee shuttles at Sanctuary and notes about the need to remove the abandoned shuttles.

There might be tens of millions of shuttles filled with families trying to escspe warzones.

Large colonies like Terra nova wren't emptied, the reapers didn't get enough time.
Beckenstein was bombed fromorbit because iwas a production centre and because the criminals there lived in giant bunkers with lots of weapons and mercenaries.
It was simply easier too bomb them.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

And these tens of millions of shuttles will be scared to death of anything but dead reapers. Control ending reapers scare them.

Perhaps I should have said 'One of the main reasons'...


Anyway, I agree with you - except that the Mass Relays aren't the only way to get around. Going from Earth to Arcturus is a 3 day journey without the Relay, comparing the real-life distance of 36 LY to some of Ashley's dialogue in ME1.

Of course, entering uncharted space and looking for new worlds to hide upon was always an option too. The point is that, even after conquering every original Prothean world, the Reapers would have had to sweep through the galaxy, making sure they catch every last Prothean. That would take forever. Hence centuries of time being spent before they retreated back to Dark Space.

That seems fairly random. Even if it does initialy, it does stop the killing.
MaybeSynthesis is better, then they dont have to be afraid and if they get engine troubles they can access the knowledge to repair the shuttle.

Those are literally the only options. Should they float around in space instead? 

[Ranger1337]

I can think of a few places. Well-defended or not-yet-hit colonies, the Citadel, Sur'Kesh, Sanctuary, or on board starships in between stars. Reapers are powerful as hell but aren't miracle workers.

[themikefest]

Maybe they all went to the planet the Normandy is on at the end of the game

Those aren't the only options. The galaxy map doesn't show all of Citadel space, remember. Just the systems Sheoard might need to go to.

If I had a ship, I'd head to the Yahg planet and live as far away from populated areas as possible using no technology whatsoever.

 

No Reaper's gonna take out the Yahg's.

Was thinking this the whole time, hopefully I'd have no synhetic implants

They said go to other colonies. How are those not the only options?
