Either way, it strongly suggests the genophage is cured and becomes canon.

Let me just move what I wrote over in the Twitter thread to here. it seems appropriate since this is theories and speculation:

Exactly!

This brings up interesting questions. Why is a female Krogan in a combat team? The Krogan colony survival depends on safeguarding its fertile female population of which there are not many. Or was the genophage cured? If cured, I can see females in the squad. It's a simple binary decision that will determine the role of the Krogans in Andromeda. Bio, here, has no choice but to choose one option. This item requires a canon text in the prequel novel if nothing is mentioned in the game.

Not necessarily: there are krogan females who are infertile. She could have been one who decided to become a mercenary like so many other krogans who'd come to no longer care about their people. We know female krogan can kick all kinds of ass so I see no reason why this theoretical krogan female couldn't just be a mercenary who saw a well-paying gig and went for it.

It wouldn't be odd if they wanted to hire on some carefully vetted krogan for the expedition since krogans are known to be able to survive in incredibly toxic enviroments and against incredibly tough creatures. The krogans would all be sterile so there wouldn't be any risk of them reproducing as far as the expedition knows. Like I said, a lot of the krogan outside of Tuchanka don't care for krogan because they don't believe they have a future so there'd certainly be some who'd have no problem leaving the galaxy. I could even see some of them being legitimately interested in being a part of this expedition since it would be a way for them to set their mark somewhere else.

If Bioware later down the line decides they want to bring back the krogan as a surviving race without re-treading the issue of their reproductive rate then a way could be similar to Okeer's with the babies being tank-bred perhaps with the help of some new technology. These baby krogan might still be sterile but the process functions as a way of reproducing. Could be an interesting way these krogan develope and differentiate themselves from the krogan we've seen back in the Milky Way especially since tank-bred was something they were disgusted by but something these krogans might embrace.

I also thought I'd bring up that there might not be much sexual dimorphism when it comes to the krogan: I don't recall Eve looking all that different from Wrex in height, build and in terms of what we could see of her face. Even if both of the krogan we've seen in the footage look like Wrex, this might mean nothing.

Guys, guy, guys, I can't believe I've forgot about this. Any of you remember the dog tags in the N7 Day trailer that people used in theory about the protagonist's surname being Ryder?

On Twitter, Mac Walters said this:

I'm adding this as a reason for why I believe that the N7 is related to Ryder.
