Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Mass Effect Wiki wrote:Reaper "indoctrination" is an insidious means of corrupting organic minds, "reprogramming" the brain through physical and psychological conditioning using electromagnetic fields, infrasonic and ultrasonic noise, and other subliminal methods. The Reaper's resulting control over the limbic system leaves the victim highly susceptible to its suggestions.
Organics undergoing indoctrination may complain of headaches and buzzing or ringing in their ears. As time passes, they have feelings of "being watched" and hallucinations of "ghostly" presences. Ultimately, the Reaper gains the ability to use the victim's body to amplify its signals, manifesting as "alien" voices in the mind.
Indoctrination can create perfect deep cover agents. A Reaper's "suggestions" can manipulate victims into betraying friends, trusting enemies, or viewing the Reaper itself with superstitious awe. Should a Reaper subvert a well-placed political or military leader, the resulting chaos can bring down nations.
Long-term physical effects of the manipulation are unsustainable. Higher mental functioning decays, ultimately leaving the victim a gibbering animal. Rapid indoctrination is possible, but causes this decay in days or weeks. Slow, patient indoctrination allows the thrall to last for months or years.

Reaper Capital Ships has a technique called indoctrination.
TL;DR, indoctrination can corrupt minds of important individuals such as the Emperor or Admiral Ackbar and cause them to fight on the Reaper's side. Not only that, every race that the Reaper has fought since the first cycles of extinction billions of years ago eventually became Reapers themselves. That means, Reaper Ships might outnumber both the Imperial and Rebel Navies.
According to the Mass Effect Codex, Reaper Ships have a highly devastating weapon called a magnetohydrodynamic cannon that can effortlessly punch armour and shields.
Now, did I miss something?

Yes, namely the fact that indoctrination takes both time and exposure to Reaper tech. Also the fact that Council forces took out several Reapers with some of their heavier ships, and that the mainstay of the Imperial Navy is the Imperial Class Star Destroyer, which outclasses even the heaviest ships of the Council races, and that of those alone they have thousands of...
And so on.

And that's not even counting the rebel ships assisting too.

They don't have shields.
The Empire alone could ROFL stomp Mass Effect. Do you even know some of the shit they bring to the fight? Their average Battleship size is around five kilometers. Imperial II-Class Star Destroyers are just dwarf battleships by the Empire's standards, and they're a kilometer long and have the firepower to go base-delta-zero on a planet in a couple hours. Then there's the shitton of superweapons, ion weaponry which would screw over a reaper with a single shot, etc. They can clone, train, and equip and entire battalion in a week at minimum. Then there's the droids, like the Darktroopers.
The only thing Mass Effect could stand up to would be the Enterprise Series Era of the Federation from Star Trek, when the Fed ships lacked shields. And they still would probably take the Reapers with them.

4 missile/torpedo tubes
Other Technical Data
Sublight acceleration: 3500G
Operational range: 250,000 light-years (before refueling)
Shield heat dissipation: 70 trillion GW peak
Reactor power: 200 trillion GW max
200 gigatons is equivelant to approxomately 500,000 liquid tungsten railgun shots.
