Remember that earth is on one of the arms also. So to find us they would have to explore allot of them. even if they didn't get all of them mapped.
You're assuming their homeworld wasn't in the same Galactic Arm, which it very well could be. Unless I am taking your comment the wrong way.
This Galaxy is so big, that there could be places and organisms that were as scary as the Flood when first discovered, just not assimilators and so were not a threat when left on their homeworld.
It's so big and mysterious, we could be in a binary system and not have known until just a decade or less ago (search Nemesis (star)), and that notion would destroy quite a bit of sci-fis that are considered plausible, and if there was a planet round that star with life and a sentient species, then even Halo's rather flexible canon would be destroyed.
Don't assume, even in sci-fi. There are hundreds of possible stories in Halo and hundreds of new lifeforms to be found if necessary.
how does a binary solar system affect any cannon. where does it say that are solar system is a single stared one. And the chance of there being life on a planet with life on it orbiting a red or brown dwarf star would be vary unlikely. the orbit area around the sun would be so mall it would be in a trillion.
