Let say the Salarians have created a solution for Kepral's Syndrome after ME3.
Given the Drell's combat skills the Salarians, like the Hanar, are repaid in military service for preserving Drell life.
Drell attributes stealth, agility, dexterity, and photographic memory make them perfect for STG sneaking, spying, and assassination missions.
Salarian military gets a mega boost with loyal Drells in their STG ranks.

I have a cure for Kepral's syndrome. If you're so dumb that you eat all the food on your own crappy planet, and then get rescued by supposedly big stupid jellyfish to live somewhere else, you should probably wear at least a re-breather or something if your new environment is so bad for your lungs. Hell, maybe even an envirosuit.
I dunno, just seems like a problem that other
smarter races in the setting
probably could have solved in about 5 seconds, but I digress. Perhaps that's beyond the ability of the crack addict wrrwwrrrwrrwwrr hypnotoads.
It makes much more sense than the compact with the Hanar. If Salarians became the new saviors there is precedent for a new client race relationship perhaps a political arrangement rather than a religious one. Drell would be an asset to STG because they can thrive in more arid / extreme environments that Salarian agents couldn't. An arrangement like this with the Salarians could help the Drell to become self sufficient but there will always be many who will remain loyal to the Hanar due to religious reasons.

Law of Mass Effect Universe
If it scaly and sentient, it evolved for combat.
Drell due to their highly specialized combat roles and cool heads are perfect for STG special ops. If history shows anything, Salarians aren't strong enough to manage hot heads [Krogans and Rachni].

Exactly. Thane's excuse is the drell don't wear breathers because they have a close relationship with the hanar, whatever that means.
Off-topic: I think humans should wear enviro suits too. I'm germophobic so it would be good for me. Plus, think of all that human hair getting into other people's food.

Actually, the Drell lost Rakhana to overpopulation, infighting over what remained after the depletion of all natural resources and severe environmental damage caused by unchecked industrial pollution. Still their fault, but given how Earth's prospects are in the real world when it comes to these same issues, I don't think we can judge them too severely. And for all we know, maybe the Drell had climate change deniers in power on Rakhana?
Anyway, it's not like the Hanar are exactly smart here either. Who honestly thinks that taking a people who evolved on the equivalent of Tattooine, would at all do well to be dumped on planet Waterworld, rather than finding a uninhabited world like Arrakis that is more suitable for them?
As much as the Drell think the Hanar did it out of charity, it seems way more like the Hanar's true motives were because they wanted a client race that could do the heavy lifting and were extremely loyal to the Hanar for saving them from extinction.
Of course, that doesn't explain why the rest of the Council were simply twiddling their thumbs during all this, why didn't they life a finger to help? It's not like the Drell did something to tick the Council off, like the Quarians had with the creation of the Geth?

Some of that was actually just trying to trigger frog fangrills/boys, but I guess there aren't many here in this section
I would never compare the Drell to climate change denialists. Albiet I wouldn't compare a chimp to those people, so that's not saying much.
Or they could just keep the Drell aboard the Ark away from overly humid conditions for extended periods of time to prevent them from getting the disease in the first place.

What role would you give said Drell?

You mean the Drell that don't have the disease and are at virtually no risk of ever getting it? I guess they could shoot stuff or whatever.
Having a resource poor homeworld lead to mass starvation and resource wars and environmental disaster before discovering spaceflight could happen to any one (probably us) and is a topic worth exploring but what happened next was f--kin nuts and turned a tragic race and story into a joke. The dying religious assassin schtick worked on a character level but applying this shtick more broadly to his entire race went off the deep end. I suppose even entire species can make hilariously poor choices.
The abandonment of the old ways by the younger Drell gives me hope that this race can be salvaged. As far as we know they are critically endangered and need to remain a client of a larger state to survive but this agreement with the Hanar has run it's course and will lead to their doom. They fit the bill and present a great opportunity for the Salarians who we know are actively looking for new allies they can control politically for their own purposes and they have the resources and biological knowhow to turn the Drell to their cause.
Maybe they withhold treatment only to Drell who agree to serve the Salarian government? Alien client state relationships such as the Turians and the Volus are an interesting topic and given that the Drell don't appear to have a formal state this would be a new angle to explore which builds on the existing lore of ME2 & 3. I definitely approve.

I mean the guys who have the disease but want to serve the Milky Way Galaxy anyways by being apart of the Ark Crew.

ho ho ho ho ho
Don't get me too excited.
A dream squaddie of mines is a Drell Infiltrator. He's STG trained and utilizes advanced tech created by Salarian nerds.
We were already exposed to old school Drells and their voodoo ways (Thane's use of biotics). Instead of depending on ancient witchcraft new Drells are tech heavy.
A Drell trained in STG tactics would be a better operative than the actual Salarians. Their natural talents lean towards STG style combat.

Given that there will be no governments or command structure if these folks really are refugees with no connection to the MW galaxy it wouldn't surprise me if veteran STG officers who made the trip choose to keep the tradition alive and look outwards for new recruits. Their new mandate would be to provide counter-intelligence and tactical support to the navigators/explorers and the colonists from outside/unknown threats drawing on training and experience(s) past down by generations of Salarian STG agents from Silent Step to the Ever Alert.
I'd imagine under this scenario Salarians would be the brains and recruits such as your Drell assassin would do the "wet work".

The Council? Helping? Nah.
Probably a lot of "miscellaneous" races get left in the MWG.
All drell arn't sufferign from the syndrom, and their main problem was water worlds... They would probably like that destert area shown in the trailer.... Looks dry enough to remind them of their original homeworld.
The Hanar might like it less.

Salarian science creates tech that allow Drells to be comfortable with water
