Yeah, the First Contact War which, as has been pointed out, took place 28 years before ME2 seems unlikely. The Skyllian Blitz could be a possibility, as it's only 9 years prior to ME2, and 9 years, while rare, is not unheard of for a prototype, but I honestly just don't see it as a possibility because it was an engagement that, from what we know, likely took a few hours, tops, from beginning to end.
