If you could remove a plot element/character from MEA what would it be, and what would you replace i

Honestly the Kett. Now I really love the plot and writing to this game but I often have wondered how much better it could have been with the Kett removed...or greatly reduced? Does this still count for the point of the poll? I think it would have really made the game that much mature, and overall better.

Consider. If you had changed the game around to where Aksuul/ the Roekar was the primary antagonists. You could have given Aksuul the same ultimate objectives as the Kett in the game but with far better motivations. The Kett would have been a defeated remnant. Only some holdouts on say Kadara and maybe Voeled. This would have given the game a much more grounded, human antagonist with actual motivations. You could have shown the Kett as interstellar boogiemen, really play up the scars of war. Show Aya as having blown out panels and be heavily damaged. And here the Roekar don't actually trust us but the Ayan government wants to extend an olive branch so you have that internal struggle in the society, and even in the Iniative as they come to grips with it, and it would have made the events of Jaal's loyalty mission far more important to things.
