Having sat down and thought about it more since when I originally wrote this (computer being down can make a man think, know?) you are probably right. Having the player character not being Shepard will, no matter what, be a crucial theme. I'd actually be surprised if this new character is still in the alliance, or at the very least still in a high ranking position. I AM still turned off by the idea of it being a "on the side" story though, but it's just me being biased. But yeah, for a side story and a sequel then I think they will make SOME vague references.
