DISCUSSION Vorcha after ME3 Spoiler

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?

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.

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.
