Prodromos provides food and support for itself, the nexus and other colonies via trade. I don't recall seeing them breaking nexus laws even once so dunno where you get that from. The same with the other colonies we set up.

Prodromos is running unsanctioned covert ops (Liam's mission), trading/establishing diplomatic relations with illegal/rebel colonies (Advent and arguably New Tuchanka and Kedara), harboring exiles (Vetra's mission, at least one side mission, and arguably Liam's mission), harboring fugitives (the Three Sabres guy, the pregnant doctor, and, possibly not illegal but definitely violating Addison/Tann's decisions, having the pathfinder jump the queue for their people. It all benefits the outposts but ignores/breaks Nexus rules. Arguably, even if you get outposts, New Tuchanka and Sloane's (and possibly Reyes') Kedara are still fairly hostile to the Nexus, and the Voeld outpost is trading with Kedara while it is still openly hostile to the Nexus.👿:eahigh_file:

Those brown coats were all humans who refused to work with aliens so nope they can go survive it alone as clearly they do not care about the majority just themselves. At least the nexus is trying to have everyone working together.

Not sure where you are getting your stuff about Browncoats. Do you think they are Cerberus? I'm referencing a series called Firefly, which, if you haven't seen you should watch it (it's a quick binge, but good every time) before evaluating Browncoats👿

I assumed you were talking about groups like advent who frankly did not seem that friendly. 'Stay away from our boarders and there won't be an issue' doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

The only time we meet Advent in person it is a handful of people on a scouting mission investigating why their water supplies are being disrupted, possibly due to the architect or Ryder/Prodromos cracking open/drawing from underground rivers. They are willing to trade, but don't want to be ruled by the Nexus or have people trespassing/invading their land. While the individuals we encounter are all apparently human, so are 50-75% of all Milky Way people we meet, so we really don't know anything about the nation's racial composition or immigration rules, although there is some indication from your discussion that indicates they may have established their colony before Prodromos, so they are probably pretty intrepid. I will be very amused if they turn out to be led by David Crockett and Dani Boone😉

The nexus is open to all species and all people who didn’t break the law and are working towards getting colonies setup for everyone. Addisons job proves that. They facilitate trade between all. They aren't just out for the nexus at all but for the success of everyone. If you break the law and get exhiled thats your own stupid fault. The same as running a red light and getting fined,  or loosing your license for doing it too many times.

The British Empire contained people of pretty much every color, race, and creed, founded lots of colonies, and fostered huge amounts of trade. It was also extremely mercantilistic, highly paternalistic, and fairly racist, kind of like the Nexus Council or members thereof. At least half the Nexus council is actively hostile to Kedara and New Tuchanka, blocking shipments to them unless someone like Kesh or Spender can have them smuggled off the station, although the outposts are willing to establish trading routes on their own. Finally, the stated purpose of the colonies/AVP is providing support and supplies to the Nexus, allowing it to continue growing as the main political, economic, and population center for the Milky Way people and eventually the whole cluster.👿😮
