(It's approved, though I don't think humans would be able to survive/live on Rannoch.

There is nothing there they can eat. So if they were downed during the Reaper War they would have been stuck 5 years on a planet with only the supplies that they had in their fighters. They would be long dead before the FTL Jump Drives were installed in enough ships to connect the numerous solar systems once again, since the Mass Effect Relays were destroyed.

Even if they did manage to survive for 5 years with no food through some miracle, why wouldn't they leave the planet afterwards? To live on Rannoch Humans would need to bring their own means of food production, their own fertilizers, own seeds, etc. Or else they would need to rely on supply runs to other systems that have edible food for Humans. It would be much more sensible to leave Rannoch and go live somewhere else. :P)
