(NOTE: This is a summation of Report V1. For further information and detail, consult Report V1.)
(Compiler's note: Information and record keeping in the months post war have proven spotty. Immense loss of shipyard and anchorage facilities prevent adequate correlation between confirmed casualty counts and pre-war military production numbers. The disastrous effects of the Crucible obliterated the FTL comm and Mass Relay Networks further hampering a proper accounting of resources. Only the codex and military force records kept by Systems Alliance Navy Commander Del Rio Shepard aboard the SSV Normandy SR2 have proven fully accurate though rudimentary. All other sources should be viewed as possibly second hand and questionable.)
MILITARY FLEET:
TURIAN FLEET: It is easy to estimate the Turians suffered the highest military casualties. Established doctrine and tactics had them fighting battles of attrition for every system invaded. Limited QEC communications with far flung survivor enclaves support the leading estimation. The Turian Navy suffered up to and possibly surpassing 70% total asset loss with 27 confirmed dreadnaught class casualties.
HUMAN FLEET: The Systems Alliance's early actions against the Reapers largely consisted of fighting retreats hampering their overall effectiveness later in the war. Mostly relegated to support and special strike roles, it is estimable that humanity lost over half its active naval forces.
ASARI FLEET: The Athena Nebula was entirely cut off by the Crucible effect and the one QEC link was presumably lost along with the Asari homeworld Thessia. Due to minimal military contributions to galactic defense and lackluster information, Asari casualties remain incalculable.
SALARIAN FLEET: Stealth vessels provided to the war effort by the Salarian Union and the STG constituted the bulk of Salarian contributions. Frontline naval involvement was minimal but intelligence provided proved a turning factor in the late stages of the war. Due to the Salarian Union suffering the least to the Reapers it is inferable without concrete information they account for the lowest casualty numbers by species. (NOTE: Pre-war records and subsequent QEC communications confirm Salarian worlds had prepared ahead of time for the Reaper invasion. Large numbers of displaced refugees presently residing within Union space. Details below.)
QUARIAN AND GETH FLEETS: Entering late in the war after the settling of secondary conflict, the Quarian and Geth navies proved a deciding factor in several theaters. Quarian intervention on Palaven prevented the absolute fall of the Apien Crest and the collapse of the Turian theater. Geth naval forces brought Reaper forces rampaging through Systems Alliance and Terminus Systems space to a standstill freeing up forces for other fronts. On both accounts, Quarian and Geth involvement stretched Reaper attention enough to enable the counter attack on Earth. Casualty figures are inestimable at this time but believed low.
BATARIAN AND TERMINUS FLEETS: The Batarians have suffered near extinction level losses with only a few million individuals confirmed alive. Militarily dwarfed by the Turians, they stood little hope of meeting the initial Reaper incursion. Surviving assets were folded into various mercenary fleets of the Terminus Systems which provided heavily needed logistics and material support. Casualty estimates are high.
HANAR FLEETS: The Hanar navy provided minimal aid to overall galactic defense. However, it cannot be stated without admiration that the Hanar's defense of their home system was masterful as it was crucial. Automated defense grids occupied Reaper forces long enough for the Crucible to be brought into play, cutting down Hanar losses and ensuring their home system and core colonies remain intact enough to house refugee populations.
VOLUS: The Vol Protectorate's minute naval contributions, the dreadnought Kwunu and a fleet of bomber frigates, remains active with few casualties reported.
ELCOR: The Elcor navy focused heavily on transport and long range bombardment. Any losses sustained are unknown or unreported.

CIVILIAN AND NON-MILITARY FLEETS:
A full accounting of civilian and logistical vessel is improbable at this time.

GROUND FORCES:
A full accounting of galaxy wide terrestrial asset loss is improbable at this time.

(Note on Reaper war doctrine: Information gleaned from previous extinction cycles reveal the Reaper's favored methodology was to remove the mass relays from play in the opening actions followed with slow and methodical system by system extermination.
Deprived of this strategy in this cycle, the Reapers resorted to lightning fast incursions across vast swaths of space. Aiming to cut off strategically important regions from the rest of the galaxy; the net consequence was the development of an organised, effective resistance and negligent action against remote backwater regions of space and militarily unimportant populations. Hundreds of such regions are theorized to remain viable.

GALACTIC POPULATION
Citadel Council census records remain sparse. Latest recovered documents from the Citadel ruins place population numbers at 17.5 trillion. (Note: This number is confirmed to exclude Terminus Systems populations and possibly Human and Batarian populations as the document's date remains unsubstantiated.) QEC communications conservatively place the latest casualty estimate at 58% (10.15 trillion).
Current accounting places the population of the Local Cluster at an estimate of 49 billion individuals. Further communications and observations confirm large refugee groups coalescing, via conventional FTL, at survivor enclaves and areas with little Crucible Effect affliction. Notable areas include: Local Cluster, Apien Crest, Krogan DMZ (redesignated Aralakh Cluster), Annos Basin (core Salarian Union Territories), core Hanar territories, Omega Nebula, Crescent Nebula. Other areas of potential large survivor coalescence remain cut off from the QEC network.
Massive distances between population and resource centers remains a serious roadblock in galactic recovery. The inadequacy of convention FTL and impending fuel shortages only exacerbate the problem. All conducted studies have reached similar to identical conclusions. Critical technologic degradation is expected to appear with half a year. Massive die off of excess population to commence within three galactic standard years. Estimates place impending death rate at 30% or higher of remaining total galactic population.
Recommendation: Immediate solution to uncrossable travel distance must be found and the preemption of catastrophic competition for resources must be enacted.
Spirits and deities above, help us!

A fantastic land to see, this is. Broken, well spoken, and all I desire to see.
