Why is everyone assuming it takes place in the same timeframe as the games? I think they should it should take place during the First Contact War or Rachni Wars. One is far before Shepard was born and the other when Shepard was 3. So, no setting canon, but just as interesting storyline, a win win situation in my opinion.
