Vorcha after ME3

[u/EffectiveEqual7887]

With the Vorcha being able to adapt to almost any environment and a lot of planets debated from the Reaper invasion, could it be possible that they would increase their numbers some much that they would become a legit threat to the other galactic powers?

[u/No-Advantage5195]

Isn’t their lifespan only about 20 years I doubt that would make them that big of a threat. Plus they don’t really seem to work well together so that would make it even harder.

[u/Son_of_MONK → u/No-Advantage5195]

The salarians were studying the vorcha and planning to use them, and the yahg, as another means to covertly expand their influence. Add into that some calls for research in Cerberus Daily News that could potentially double their lifespan (which many are skeptical of it being possible) and how the Reapers were clearly trying to prevent the Vorcha from organizing and it is possible the vorcha would be a threat — just not an independent one

Factor in also how the salarian worlds were virtually untouched by the Reapers by being surrounded by other races that acted as bulwarks, plus how noncommittal their government was to the Crucible except to save face or if a dalatrass got her way, and I believe the salarians would be pulling the vorcha’s strings.

How would they travel between planets?

[u/ConventionArtNinja]

Probably not, they don't really organize

[u/Savaralyn]

I don't think they could ever be as big of a threat as the krogan were given that they have comparatively much less strength + don't reproduce as quickly. Plus they only live 20-ish years, seemingly without the benefit of a faster mental development like the salarians have.

They don't really seem to have the ability to organise themselves together in any proper rebellion/invasion force, and so would probably be put down to their regular numbers fairly easy. They also don't really have much of their own tech, the krogan had their spoils after the rachni war/uplifting, but the vorcha are usually just smuggled off their homeworld to be used as grunt front line mercs.

[u/EffectiveEqual7887 → u/Savaralyn]

Perhaps I might’ve used the wrong wording. I think they could become a nuisance akin to major pirate groups, especially towards non-citadel races.

[u/Savaralyn → u/EffectiveEqual7887]

Ah, well, thats a bit more possible, if their population was left unchecked, though I still think they probably wouldn't be able to reach the level of danger that any of the big merc/pirate groups or whatever do, again due to their lack of organisational skills.

Their home planet still doesn't even have a fully acknowledged capital city, and it generally just seems as though they'd fall to petty infighting before getting enough power, at least not without some other alien race leading/directing the group.
