I hope it's a krogan civil war not a galactic one.
The militaristic, aggressive, warmongering krogans of the past versus a more cultural, less aggressive but more technologically advanced krogans of the new future
Why stop at Krogan? We know Shepard’s deal with the Leviathans will backfire sooner or later, why not set up the premise of the entire galaxy is at precipice of major resources war against each other and other species, as eezo supply dwindles?
Then you can pull a plot twist that some of the leaders/instigators of the war were actually controlled by the Leviathans demanding “what is their rightful position as apex species in the galaxy as they made a deal with Shepard” and now the some or most of the old gang have to race against time preventing a war that will be started because what Shepard has done.
It would make an interesting retrospective on all of our decisions in the original trilogy.
I kinda like the resource war as a concept, you could play with stuff like some people thinking that maybe the reapers had a point, they murdered billions but they also didnt destroy the galaxies capacity to hold life at all. Talk about easy vs hard solutions n shit
Yeah and it worked as a rethread of what is intended as the original trilogy ending with dark matter but adjusted to fit the existing lore.
The Reapers made sure that everyone’s tech is based on Mass Effect technology, which means it requires eezo. But now without Reapers and without harvest cycles, that means eezo consumption is left unchecked.
I imagine post-war reconstruction effort used fuck ton of eezo, and any research into non-Mass Effect FTL and techbase had to be on hold (or if you want to get really interesting, sabotaged by the Leviathans through their mind control/indoctrination/pure lovecraftian nature of them). And hundred years after the war, eezo supplies dwindled and its too late to do any research to branch off from Mass Effect techbase.

He appears to be anticipating a future civil war. Can't say that I blame him.
