Sorry, not in the mood to do so at present time. It's late here and I'm about go to bed. Regardless, the Quarians are not reknowned for their military might. That would fall to the Turians, the Krogans and yes, even humanity in the ME universe. The Asari are often overlooked yet are far more numerous, powerful and potentially dangerous than their surface flighty charms might suggest. In a fight between the Geth and the Quarians as things currently stand I'd bet on the Geth.

I concur. That paragon peace option is definitely the route to go, because this would NOT end well for anyone involved. Quarians get slaughtered, geth take heavy losses, and Shepard would lose two factions to help him fight the reapers.

plus who knows how that would affect Tali? I'd put my money on badly.

not that anyone was arguing against that, I just felt like saying that. Ate up time. *goes back to paper*

I added this while you were posting:

The Quarians couldn't handle them when they were at their strongest.
They sure as hell can't handle them in a stand-up fight now in their
weakened state, even more so considering the Geth appear to have
advanced even further since the Morning War. IMO, Kal has it
right: Throw the Quarian fleet at the Geth and all the admirals are
getting back is shredded metal (and it won't be just be Geth metal). The
Geth have the potential to be the mightiest military might in the
entire galaxy due to their platform logistics. No pain. No fear. No need
for rest or food/drink. Some units able to repair while on the field of
battle under own power. Speed of light or faster internal
communications, etc.

They're pretty much super soldiers.

Also, lets not forget that the system that has Haestrom in it, that atleast one of those planets has 5000 to 10000 geth ships docked at it.
Thats... alot.

we invade alonge with 12 battle ships and a drednaught

Hey guys, I'm calling for backup here

I started a thread about the relative competence of the Quarian military here http://social.biowar...index/1436557/1

If you think you can help me defend against the Quarian haters come on over

Hell, I even question the competence of the Quarian military. I suspect they are quite adept at hit-and-run tactics but in a stand up fight I expect them to get hammered.

read my points in the thread, then tell me you question their competence

Remember, anyone who isn't shepard or his squad will get wasted in the ME universe, it just happens

They are tech heavy i.e. using tech to compensate (can't carry load, invent wheel). Also Tali stated in ME1 that the war was "long and bloody" before they were ultimately forced from their colonies. It is unknown how long this was but it sounds as if they fought very hard to try to stop it.

The codex in ME1 also states that the geth were built for both service and war. It seems that our Quarian friends had designs on galactic dominance. This can be herd in conversations with Admiral Xen on the Rayya (then in her e-mail to you).

One thing that strikes me as strange, Tali says in ME1 that 100s of millions die in the war with the geth. Assuming they had one big homeworld and several colonies why was their population so low? Shouldn't it be billions? If only 17 million survive in the fleet where did the rest go?

Later that night...


“Tali...” Shepard shifted uncomfortably on the couch. “Tali...”
“What?” She hissed under her breath, not bothering to turn around to face Shepard.
“I’m sorry.” He pouted innocently, hoping for some attention.
She turned around to face him and giggled.
“Ah Shepard, the hero of Eden Prime, the savior of the Citadel...You can conquer all can’t you? Yet you can’t even conquer your own bed.”
“We’ll see about that.” Shepard replied getting off the couch.
“You’re going to have to fight me for it.” She replied.
“Looking forward to it.”

They tell me you're dead.

Part of me doesn't believe it, refuses to believe it. But the other part of me saw the Normandy explode. I watched it all, from the tiny little porthole window in the escape pod. So close, and yet so far away. Close enough to imagine for just one second that I could have saved you. We saw the final pod jettison, and when the Alliance frigates came to collect us I was so sure that you would be on it, with Joker. I was so sure, Shepard.

But I was wrong. Joker said he saw you get thrown out into space. There's a part of me that knows you must be dead. The engineer in me, the part that knows that a Hughes-Mystromm Field Converter will always run thirty percent hotter under load and it doesn't care how much you wish for it not to. Physics is an unforgiving master, Shepard.

But I still dream. I still hope. Hope was all we had left in those few final days before Ilos. Hope was the gift you gave to us. You taught us how to hope again. All of us. Garrus, Joker, everyone on the Normandy. There was no hope. Not really. Not after we learned what Soverign was. What the Reapers were. What we faced. It was no surprise that Saren accepted his fate. How can one fight a god? But you gave us that hope. Your absolute refusal to give up, to stop, to roll over and die.

You humans have a saying. Where there's life, there's hope. Until I traveled with you to Ilos and fought beside you on the Citadel I never truly understood that. But I understand now. In order to have a change of fortunes at the last minute, you must push your fortunes to the last minute. I still hope, Shepard. I know there can be none, but still I hope. You taught me that.

You will never read this letter. Just know that in the heart of this one small, insignificant Quarian traveler you will never be forgotten. All of the things I wanted to say that were unsaid between us. All of the things I wanted to do that were not done. They will exist here, always, as will you.

I love you. I did not realize how much until it was too late. Too late for us. But maybe not too late for hope.

Come back to me, Shepard.

I'm still hoping.

I'm not trying to say that the Quarians can beat the geth, I just think that they are not a s bad as we make them out to be

Given their unique immune systems and 'adaptment' needed to truly thrive on any worlds that they found it wouldent surprise me that Quarian expansion was much slower compared to that of other races. Could have been another reason to build the Geth; Ensures that you have a force to enforce your claims on worlds that you couldent have a sizeable population on during adaption periods.

Indeed. Its a wonder we're winning the war with the geth. Got to figure they lost the majority of their advanced units at the Battle of the Citadel.

Remember that those Geth were in fact Heretics whom are estimated to only account for 5% of all Geth in the galaxy. In other words: Organic galactic society has only faced the appetizer.

That said, I do not believe it impossible for organics to defeat the Geth in a toe-to-toe fight. It will be bloody, destructive and expensive in both lives and resources but it can be done. While organics are less efficient they are also less predictable and able to summon inspiration and inner strength that can allow them to turn a seemingly losing battle to their advantage. Imagination can trumph logic at times (and vice versa). Heck, cure the genophage and you could release the Krogan horde part 2 on the Geth (if the Krogans are wililng to play along, then again they love a good battle and might see it as an opportunity to take revenge on the galaxy afterwards - better keep a new genophage weapon primed and ready Council). Even without the Krogan it should be possible to defeat the Geth. The Quarians on their own however do not have the logistical network nor the resources to engage in prolonged "trench warfare".
