oh heck, is Ryder in this game??? I missed that somehow, come at me
It's hard to know, honestly. On one hand, she's pretty much the definition of "works for the powers that be" even if rarely in a way that those powers would prefer. Shepard is very much a proponent of governmental power in general, whatever else is true in specific— but at the same time...
...Like the Citadel Council before them, not one of these regional powers have done a damn thing to offer her a real reason to side with them, or done much to earn her not-inconsiderable loyalty. Even the best first impression any of them can make is pretty abysmal. She could be convinced to rebel, depending on the exact pitch.
It really does depend on how it goes! I always figured that the worst case scenario was that she forms up a cool gang and goes Full Privateer, but there's not a lot to recommend her to the situation at large with any sense of satisfaction. Maybe Goro can change that assessment.
