@Bronzey I think human are a pretty big military threat in Mass Effect. The Alliance is considered a sleeping giant because of its powerful industry and that only 3% of its population is in the military. It could be quite logical to wipe out as many humans as possible before the race has enough time to figure out how serious a threat the Reapers are and gain more military volunteers or institute a draft.
