Could Mandalore at its peak conquer the entire Mass Effect galaxy?

Assume Mandalore and her adjacent worlds are transported to the border of Attican traverse and Terminus systems a few years before the start of Mass Effect 1. Can the Mandalorians conquer the entire Mass Effect galaxy with its known tens of thousands of inhabited systems?

Tens of thousands of systems is a lot.

The scale of the Mass Effect verse is fairly well known with numbers of colonies/worlds and numbers of Capitol Ships and that's usually measured in the dozens.

Mass Effect would need a significant advantage in power or technology or something to overcome even ten thousand Tatooine level systems. I don't think anyone has argued such a level of disparity exists.

Reapers are the only ones with the numbers in the thousands though I can't recall how many since all estimations are based on the cycles of their reaping which is estimated at like around 20,000 or so. So one or two Reapers per system of the Mandalorian Empire.

Somehow I expect the Mando's and Turians will likely become either great friends, or massive rivals.

Also, hyperdrive schematics and tech let Mando's bypass the Mass Relay network, so they could hit places 'sideways' from how ME races expect things to work.

Yes, they would have much more powerful weapons and access to an FTL that does not rely on relays.

Idk, depends on how good their auxiliary (training, equipment, ect) is.


I definitely disagree that 10,000 Tatooines would contribute anymore than 10,000 Taliban infantry would against a fully staffed and equipped Naval Carrier.

Which canon?
Legends or Disney?

What's Disney?

Star Wars ended with ep.6, now somebody has to get around to turning the Thrawn trilogy into movies.

Tatooine had starship level construction (or at least maintenance and refurbishment) going on. It's just super minor compared to a Kuat or some Ecumenopolis or whatever.

So it's not so much 10,000 Taliban Infantry but 10,000 Speedboats with Cheapass Bootleg Munitions mounted on them... and whatever the actual Mandalorian Fleet is versus a fully staffed and equipped Naval Carrier.
