I don’t mind the nick-picking. That’s what this discussion is for. :-)

Granted, it might not have been the whole Systems Alliance fleet, but it sure looked like a whole lot of ships participated in the battle and a good chunk of them were destroyed. And that was against one Reaper. Would’ve it made a difference if there were dreadnoughts or carriers? Perhaps, but still the loses would’ve been appalling. Further, and this only my appreciation and speculation on the final scene, the alliance ships were only able to penetrate Sovereign’s defenses after Shepard and the squad killed the possessed Saren.

The point I’m trying to make is that the balance of power, as of the end of ME2, overwhelmingly favors the Reapers and the galactic community better come up with an effective way to fight them. That’s all I’m saying.

About the intergalactic issue, I think the ME universe would be more interesting if it expanded to the “Universe” :D
