For some reason, I wasn't thinking we were applying for Spectre positions unless stated (especially a Geth considering it took even humans forever to get 1) and that Phalanx was just a traveling Geth that is studying organic life peacefully (but is still good with a sniper rifle and electronics)

But I can make it so it entered the Reaper war and was a bit impressive during the time

It was actually a big part of the original game that humanity was basically being treated like the golden child that other species were being resentful of. It only took them roughly two or three decades to get their own embassy on the citadel (the elcor and volus have to share) and the only Spectres were from Council species, namely salarians, asari, and turians, all of whom have been a part of galactic civilization for hundreds if not thousands of years.

The fact it only took 3 decades for humans to become the 4th Council race and appoint a Spectre is basically unheard of in galaxtic civilization.
