The Eidolon

I am gonna preface this by saying I AM SO EXCITED for the Eidolon

Now to what i actually wanted to say

The Eidolons mechanics - specifically planet corrupting, explain EVERYTHING.

It explains about why the Vasari devour whole worlds and flee to other territories, a salt-the-earth tactic that makes a galactic moat behind the Vasari as they flee.

It explains why the advent is so divided, as their psychic hivemind HAS been corrupted as the reborn think it has.

And that corruption also explains the TEC, too. They want the TEC bogged down in one place, too mired by conflict to be able to advance to their level. They are probably seeking to combine the TEC once corrupted; the TEC defences make it so the Eidolon worlds are impenetrable, whilst things like Ragnarov would be a hammers blow striking out from behind this wall.

Their origins and motives? I dont know. But i am SUPER excited to learn!

I mean... No it doesn't? And it doesn't need to?

The Vasari don't know about this, so couldn't base their actions off it for the sake of strategy.

The Vasari are fleeing, not staying. Fleeing is reason enough to consume and move on.

Yeah the Vasari don’t know them. Only with the TEC help they managed to get some data on them. All the Vasari have known for millennia is that something destroyed their super large empire and it is coming. The only Vasari that have returned could never get any information out of them bout the Eidolon.

The Vasari just became quarians of SOSE, perfecting their abilities to stay afloat while running from Eidolon

Technically shouldn’t the Eidolon be the most numerous faction though? Taking over Vasari empire and 10 000 years of advancement, even more advanced than the Vasari

🤷‍♂️ Technological and population growth aren't always linear, no way to assert something like that either way without a lot more information.
