I noticed in the Prothean Vision in ME1, there is a picture of two Protheans near a window, their arms held up in dispair, as bright, orange light floods in through the window. They appear to be melting, or withering, or both. In another part of the vision, we can see the Protheans running from something, and the sky is illuminated with the same orange light.
In ME2, we find that the sun of the solar system in which Haestrom is located is dying. The planet is bathed in the same orange light. We are told that the radiation being produced by the sun has overwhelmed the planet's magnetosphere, and is essentially baking the planet. It fries electronic equipment and, most likely, would cause serious issues for organics like cancer, not to mention cooking flesh.
I have to wonder, then, if the fate of these two suns is in some way connected to the Reapers.
Is it possible that the Reapers initiate, in advance, before their return, the death of suns in order to weaken the species they will eventually assimilate in to their ranks?
If the Reapers rely on organic species for strenghtening their forces, I don't see why they would initiate the death of suns. That would cause the eventual heat-death of a solar system, and no organic life would come to be as a result, and thus they would eventually have no species to consume. If the Reapers are true evil, then perhaps this makes sense. Kill the suns, kill the species, no more organic life, true evil agenda achieved.
Another possibility is that Harbinger meant more than he let on when saying that the Reapers are the salvation through destruction of advanced, sentient organic species. Is something not-the-Reapers eating suns? Is there something the Reapers know that we don't?
Either way, I'd love to hear input. The above is just something that occurred to me in a "Hey, wait a minute" moment, and I'm not actually saying that there may be something to all of this.
Haestrom & Ilos - Similar Sun Issues? *SPOILERS*

Everything is orange in the Prothean visions.

Could there be relevant significance in this fact?
At the very end of the vision in ME1, we see a turn turning black, apparently dying. That just leads me to believe more.

I assumed that Reapers draw energy from stars, making them age quickly. Hence why they must go out into dark space and hibernate to let new species evolve.
So, I agree that there may be a link between what you noticed in the visions and Haestrom, since I believe it's at Haestrom that Sovereign indoctrinated the Geth Heretics.

According to Vigil, the Reapers never found Ilos. And there are lots of orange stars in the galaxy. Or perhaps the colour orange meant "Danger!" in Prothean cultural context, just like the combination of yellow and black in ours?yorkj86 wrote...

Personally I think the TIM is behind Haestrom. Did you ever wonder why TIM was always looking down at Haestrom even from the first time you meet him? I think it is one of his other personal projects.

Who said TIM's desktop background is Haestrom?
