TL;DR : new technologically advanced species leads to a WoW Horde+Alliance society.

So, i was thinking about ME4 and came up with what I think is a pretty cool idea for a sequel game. Obviously Bioware's already laid the foundation for the next game's story, but I thought I'd share my idea here anyway. (this story would take place after an ME3 with perfect destroy ending).

The Milky Way is a big place, there could be hundreds of undiscovered species out there. After ME3, the Reapers are dead but not completely destroyed, which would probably lead to reverse-engineering and adapting their tech. So, what if there was an undiscovered race that had reached their space-age but had never found any Prothean artefacts or ruins and had no clue about the Mass Relays, the Reapers or anything. They could have discovered ways of travelling FTL on their own, just as the first races in the Galaxy must've done. We know the Reapers scoured every inch of the Galaxy to make sure everything was destroyed, so maybe they found this space-age race and were unsure what to do with them.

Do the Reapers destroy them or what? They wouldn't be advancing along the lines the Reapers want, so are they left alone? Doesn't matter - red space magic kills the Reapers that discovered them. This species could then examine the Reaper corpses and potentially learn all about the Relays, the Citadel, the other races and maybe even adapt their technology to use for themselves. This leads to them making Contact with the known species and the Council.

They'd be quite advanced after utilising all that Reaper tech, maybe almost as advanced as some of the Council races - but aren't suffering from the troubles of post-war. They join the Citadel races and begin to integrate into society. They realise what kind of state all the races are in after the Reaper war and their governments (or whatever they have) begin to see if they can take advantage of this. They offer money and resources to work their way up the ranks over the years, maybe even gaining a seat on the Council at some point.

Now they're well established in the Galactic community and can enact their plan - diplomatically take control of the Council, the Citadel and all their species; essentially becoming the new Asari (but a bit more dictator). The Council realises at some point that this new race may become a threat and kick them off the Council out of fear (if they actually made it to the Council).
The new species essentially decides to create their own sort of Council and sets up shop somewhere else in the Galaxy (maybe another hostile takeover of Omega?). They want to be in charge of Council space and now the only way to do it is aggressively. They try to turn over some of the other races to their cause, maybe some that don't trust the Council such as the Krogan or the Batarians would join them. Out of fear of being destroyed in another war some of the other races may join as well, such as the Drell+Hanar or Elcor.

And so at this point, we have a sort of World of Warcraft Horde and Alliance type situation. Two factions fighting for power. Not a full-scale war (not immediately) but quite political at first and later aggressive. You could maybe even choose which side you wanted to fight for and your choices in game could lead to certain races switching factions etc. I can imagine some of the Council races having rogue elements, so like some humans want to join this other faction or some Turians do. That way you can play as any race (if that's going to be a thing) and play for whichever faction you want.

All of this could take place over 3 or 4 games. What do you guys think? I know this is long but I'm bored and wanted to share this with the community.
