Error at the beginning of the first chapter: the zerg do not possess better tech than what ME has. In fact, the zerg have no use for technology, their interactions with other species limited to: a) kill it now b) kill it later c) assimilate into the Swarm.

On your question about the Yamato: it is a gigantic ship-based weapon that fires a shaped nuclear explosion at a target. In game, it is a one-hit kill on nearly every single unit in the game except for massive units, Archons, Ultralisks, buildings, and certain Protoss starships. I don't think the Normandy can survive being shot by a massive ball of plasma.

For that matter, Terran Battlecruisers are essentially gigantic damage sponges, capable of taking heavy beatings (capable surviving a Yamato blasts themselves) and possessing energy-based shields in addition to heavy plating. Their armament consists entirely of laser weaponry, which I'm certain the Normandy will have a hard time guarding against. Battlecruisers are some of the most deadly air units in the game, and in canon act as capital ships for Terran commanders.
