Garden Worlds would of course have a damage multiplier as a) the atmosphere would allow for pressure by a nuclear explosion to be much more larger B) biological agents can survive in garden worlds.

Who needs bioweapons when you've got nukes? Bioweapons don't work on Reapers. Nukes do. Probably.

Mulitple nukes would be needed to even hurt a capital ship, and you are EMPing yourself.

Just agree to buy one and split the cost.

Even most modern military equipment is hardened against EMP, I imagine in the ME universe that eben civilian infrastructure and objects are.

I'm guessing the 10% from both planets is the income from the trade routes?

Wouldn't the nukes have a higher yield than dreadnought guns because a slug at 1.3% of the speed of light isn't the same as a something that can probably reach 6 times its power?

Not so sure about that first point. A dreadnought slug, according to the wiki, has a force of roughly 38 Kt. The largest nuclear bomb ever detonated on Earth had a force of 50 Mt, or 50000 Kt.

Easily hacked doesn't mean its not hardened against EMP. It just means it has horrible security infrastructure.

And how effective are dreadnoughts against the Reapers? They only work in numbers.

Also Bioware has never been the best in showing realistic technological advancement.

No just shows a lack of care for their infrastructure and threats to their electronics.

To try and weaken their shields, you will need a sustained force of 220 KT, which is the power of four dreadnoughts. A nuke the size of a Tsar Bomb should do the trick, and atomize some of the atmosphere.
