I'm back (for now). Playing trough Mass Effect Andromeda actually got me the inspiration I needed to logically explain the prlude of the Eldarisian-Waptorian War.

Alright, it goes like this: after Eldarisia established their colonies in Mirus, the Waptoria send a fleet to greet them and establish contact. However, while deep into Xonexi-held Dt-Territory, the fleet's Commissar (a Waptorian civilian/tactical/biologist representing civilian control over the military) died unexpected. The Biotic Chieftain in charge of the military took over and continued the expedition. Upon arrival, rather than establishing contact, it took the cautious route and ordered the ships to cloak themselves, entering an obervation period of Eldarisia.

At the end of it, it had come to the conclusion that Eldarsia, due to their religious single-mindedness, would be better off as part of the Waptoria, and unleashed his Biotics (=Waptorian soldiers) to kidnap Eldarisians and Ingrain them (=turn them into more Biotics). This action was not sanctioned by the Waptoria, of course, who were unaware of it. To keep up his campaign, the now-rogue Chieftain first accepted materiel and them personnel for Unitech, technically becoming an outright rebel to the Waptoria at this point (though, again, neither the Waptoria or Eldarisia would be aware of this). In the end, Eldarisia devises a superweapon to kill off all Biotics in the sector, including the former Eldarisians.

Afterwards, the High King declares there must be retribution in kind for this loss, and so the Waptorian genocide begins...

What do you think?
