Doubtless the combined efforts of all the fleets would be a force worthy of the name (whether they could, even then, defeat the full Reaper fleet&mdash;assuming there is no other form of Reaper&mdash;is open to question), and as already said unlike the Prothean situation altogether. But a lack of awareness of a fully aware enemy is no small thing. Grant per impossible every organic race a turian-sized fleet; yet if they are dispersed hours and days away from critical attack points (such as any relay known to the Reapers which leads directly to the Citadel), then this would seem to be a serious problem. To this one might respond that Kasumi has gray-box data depicting a Reaper, and (for all we know) this might be connected to that whatever which "could implicate the Alliance". Or, in other words, the Alliance powers-that-be may quietly acknowledge at least the possibility of more Reaper ships (even if non-AI ones). And of course I've been saying "organic", since the geth are clearly aware of, and oppose, the "old machines". Question: do we ever learn how the Collectors detected the Normandy while running dark?
