Before Priority Tuchanka, you’ll receive a mission from the leader of Clan Urdnot to investigate rumors of Rachni activity in the Attican Traverse. During the mission you’ll discover that the Reapers have enslaved the Rachni Queen and have been using her to breed Ravagers and Swarmers.

You have the option to save the Rachni Queen and help her escape (Paragon Choice) or leave her to die (Renegade Choice). The outcome will depend on your decision with the Rachni Queen in Mass Effect 1.

If you saved the Rachni Queen in Mass Effect 1, then saving her again in Mass Effect 3 allows you to recruit her for the war effort. This gives you +100 war assets.

However, if you destroyed the Rachni Queen in Mass Effect 1 things go a bit differently. Saving the Rachni Queen after killing the original Queen in ME1, leads to the new Breeder Queen betraying the Alliance.

After the Horizon mission, you will get a war asset update called "Breeder Queen Betrayal," which reduces the Alliance Engineering Corps by 100 war assets.

Here is the full update:
"The last reports from the AEC were little more than officers screaming about rachni flooding into their barracks, scything through unsuspecting scientists. After a brave, but brief, battle, the core of the Alliance Engineering Corps was wiped out by their traitorous alien "allies.""

Aralakh Company will be wiped out if you decide to save the Queen, costing you 25 war assets. Grunt will live or die depending on whether you completed his loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2. If you completed it, then he will survive after covering your escape.
