1) Speculaiton: Ahern’ badassery.

How badass stank is this mofo? It has been written, that this guy, if need be could go against Tetrimus with a single pistol and likely come off with only a broken leg at worst.

Namely what was said threat against Thana T’Armal – if HE had to save HER. Namely the most powerful asari/person in the Galaxy?

LOL no. Ahern is the Mary Sue line — he is the best a normal, unaugmented living being can go in terms of badassery.

Tetrimus would turn Ahern into a fucking smear. He’d have to work a little, but he’d still win. NO one except the Broker, Delaynder, and MAAAAYBE the High Solarch can solo Tetrimus… and all three of them would barely survive in a one-on-one fight.

Aria lost her shit at one point and hired a mixed team of Remembrance Dancers, salarian technosavants, drugged up Eclipse girls and a heavily cybernetically converted krogan to kill off her mother. Ahern had to drop the salarians and then the krogan while Tela took on the Dancers (along with the House Guard).

Ahern ended up going hand to hand with a krogan stronger than Grunt and almost got killed, lucking out with a grenade.

2) Speculation: Ahern for Ruler?

Its been stated in your STG Report – that he has many life-debts and offers of service, from various asari houses and even to become a Spectre.

If push came to shove, how much could Ahern fuck the Alliance over?

Plus what would happen, if Ahern decided to accept offer of service from House T’Armal or Vasir? Epic chaos or anarchy? Or party?

Ahern is strictly, almost religously non-political just for the above reasons. He could, in theory, do a lot of damage to the Alliance.

Ahern wouldn’t take any offer of service from the Asari. He likes Tela and some asari but thinks their culture is a mess and is too old to care about their sexual crap.

3) Speculation: Ahern vs Preator

Him versus big cheese of the Hierarchy. And everybody seems to make a big deal of it.

How big a deal is it to the STG or persay Asari? If he CAN hold his own against the current leader of the Hierarchy?

Hahahahahah no. That shit wouldn’t even be funny. Ahern vs. the High Primarch is an ugly fight, they sparred once and while Ahern held is own, he was in the hospital for two days afterwards, while the Primarch was fine after twenty minutes.

4) Speculation: Salarian ‘chipping’ sniper tactics?

Why did it say under Ahern’ STG file, namely about sniper tactics. That salarians use chipping tactics of kinetic barries?

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of a sniper? I mean, if you keep shooting at the same target and simply ‘not killing it’, doesn’t that mean your more liable to be a targeted and killed yourself?

Doesn’t the entire idea of a sniper is ‘one shot, one kill’ – or being a recon unit. The chipping idea, likely also suggests it takes likely more than one shot to take down a kinetic barrier. So? Aren’t salarians all about ‘maximum efficiency’?

What’s up with the salarians on this? Why not go for ‘one shot and kill’ tactic – like perhaps one certain turian sniper? Or human snipers in that matter?

Again, salarians aren’t humans (or turians).

Salarians see snipers as pressure units and sowers of chaos, but primarily as inhibitors. Sure, they have no problems sniping at officers one shot one kill style, but they are highly mobile (very, very fast), heavily cloaked and stealthed, and focused more on ensuring that the Shieldbreakers don’t have anything to stop their momentum.

Salarian snipers use chip tactics when facing a dug in foe who is good at defence. They combine sniper shots with infowar, drones, grenades, and movement tactics, and their goal is to soften up a target for a single shot kill. Salarians have a fixation with precision, not firepower — while they do prize efficency, they would rather have three snipers combine to have a 100% kill chance than one guy on his lonesome with a chance of it not working.

5) Speculation: Ahern surviving a swamp

I also read, that Ahern survived being stuck in a rad-filled swamp. And the salarians thought that was badass, how?

Aren’t they like, from a swamp themselves or anything? They seem it rather ‘spectacular’ compared to like – surviving an orbital bombardment or fighting of Deathwatch or a Spectre even.

I’m guessing you haven’t read Lions. It’s not just a swamp, it’s a swamp after crashing after a nuke airburst, with no modern equipment, no medigel, no omnitools, no sealed armor, and outnumbered fifteen to one with an armada storm (think radioactive stormcloud/hurrican that spits out waterspouds) coming at you.

Ahern was one of less than three hundred survivors and (along with Anderson’s team and the others in his group) the only team to actually complete the exercise.

6) Speculation: First STG Order

What was the first STG Order ever given to the STG?

Was it namely, stop the salarians from ‘f*cking around’? Or simply, ‘make sure nothing happens to the Union’?

This is actually in the salarian history document, but it was the obliteration of the League of One before they could destroy the Asari just after the discovery of the Citadel.

I wonder, can we have details on how a Delanynder/Tetrimus fight would go?
I gather from the hanar file that he’s no shopkeeper, but hanar military, as well as connected to an ascended. But would he use overkill hanar weapons or something more subtle?

Delan is the hanar version of Ahern. And hoo boy, he’s modified to fuck and beyond, including a nifty little device that pretty much nullifies most direct biotic attacks — it would stop a flare or a Beam, but not a piece of metal thrown with biotics.

He’s also got a weapon that’s pretty much a man-portable Prism Lance, and he’s got a built in teleportal device that lets him jump all over the fucking place.

Tetrimus would have to rely on his actual military skills, cybernetics, speed and weapons to take him out, using kinetics to corral him, and I’m not 100% who would win TBH.

Tetrimus could PROBABLY drop Ithorex the Unready in a single fight, even with Ithorex’s bullshit phase jump crap.

Interesting, thank you.

Looked at the hanar file again and was wondering something else. The part with soul names, linking a hanar to Katha, and godpower hax. Could Delan initiate the link to Katha if he got in a bad position?

Ithorex, I take it he just teleports himself past the target’s security, kills them (or sabotages their ship), then teleports back to the citadel?

Delan is permanently linked to Katha, so is Farmas the Pimp Lord.

Ithorex’s phase jump allows him to phase almost anything to a marker beacon. The black coral structures are actually a call to Katha, who tells him the physical location of the target. Ithorex just slashes a monomolecular blade at the target then goes back into the main store and be seen.

He had to get a bit fancier with the guy in FTL, phasing an entire torpedo with a timer of 2 seconds into the path of the ship.
