Haestrom's sun doesn't seem to be of a mass large enough to go super nova. Forget what Tali said about "stars blowing up and all...." Stellar mass is going to rule all here. In fact it is in the wikia that Haestrom's sun is aging prematurely and will enter the red giant stage. It should behave no differently than our sun since Dholen is one solar mass. Mass relays seem to be typically around the orbit of Pluto in distance from their stars (about 29 AU). Dholen, like our sun, might expand to 2 AU (about the orbit of Mars). We don't have to worry about anything like a black hole or anything catastrophic. The mass relay in that system should remain safe.

Given that we don't know the degree to which the core of the star is being compressed (the degree to which its mass is being amplified), it's still possible for it to end with a bigger bang than a main sequence star of its mass would be expected to. It's clear that its mass has unnaturally increased, rather than decreasing, due to its increased energy output.

You're right that a star of that mass would normally go out in a planetary nebula surrounding a white dwarf, but this isn't a normal star.

There is nothing that says its mass is being artificially increased. It isn't anywhere in the wikia or in the codex. It is just that there was a dark energy build up inside the star which occurs when stars age except that Haestrom isn't old enough to have that much dark energy. It isn't clear at all that its mass is being increased. How can its mass be increased? Through the process of space magic the fusion at the interior of the star had sped up. Look at it as a "time lapse" of the aging of the star. The dark energy perhaps is accelerating time in the region of the star causing it to age. Otherwise they told us nothing in the game or otherwise. The mass of the star increasing? Impossible. From where is it getting its extra mass? There is no companion star in the system from which it is drawing mass. It will prematurely go out in a planetary nebula surrounding a white dwarf.

 

This is a left over from the dark energy plot. It was the fate of all stars in the galaxy if the human reaper wasn't built to process all of the dark energy in the galaxy: Premature aging to the type of death associated with their mass. The reapers were the good guys and Shepard was the villain.

I think the original plan was for Shepard to have a choice there. Of course, without the human Reaper... everyone dies anyway, right?

 

It was my understanding that the races of the galaxy would try to figure it out on their own, but we wouldn't actually see the end of the galaxy/universe.

This always makes me chuckle, cause some vehement ME3 ending haters think they'd prefer the Dark Energy plot over what they got.

 

I'm pretty sure none of thuys guys and gals would appreciate it if the Reapers were the good guys and organics the problem.
