Side Quest - UNC: Lost Freighter
Floating near Antiroprus. Board if you dare.
Go inside this ship that is obviously not safe. Two crates in the first room,
and in the big room with the cells on the floor, blow them up first after you
walk near one and get scared. Nothing in here but one loot container in the
middle.
Then into the hallway with three doors. Go left first. Examine the life support
by the bed, then hack, and then play the logs.
In the room on the right is another log and a container.
Then the middle room for a lone log. That is when Julia strikes from behind.
All three of you should be able to kill her in like one second. Also, you may
turn off the machine if you want. Or whatever, it’s not like anyone watches
news or pays attention to politics.

Side Quest - UNC: Hostile Takeover
Map:
Debris - Just a probe; consider skipping if you don’t like the weather, and
you shouldn’t.
Anomaly - ID Tag.
Hideout - Approach and use the cannons to take out the three turrets. Park
next to the entrance and go in.
Like so many other research facilities. Go to big room, fight big fight, and
then rewards in two smaller rooms. Do the deed and exit. Just one more crime
boss to go if you’re in for the side quest.

Side Quest - UNC: Missing Survey Team
Map:
Debris - A probe with people? Okay.
Anomaly 1 (east) - Turian insignia; but a Thresher Maw is in the flat area
nearby. You can swing around the border of the map, grab the prize, and then
speed off without fighting. Cannons if you do (RB).
Anomaly 2 (west) - A transmitter you can shut down. I would be wary of the many
patches of flat ground along the way from any side. I don’t know if this world
is crawling with Maws, but I don’t want to find out either.
Research Base - Just a place to stop by for some looting.
Excavation Site - Near the base. Go inside the cave, kill all the Husks in
the big room, then go to the corner for the doors to open, kill these Husks,
and then you’re free to loot the place. That’s all, exit and leave the planet.

and then use the terminal in the top room after you clear the building to

Side Quest - UNC: Major Kyle
Map:
Mining Camp - Near the start;
Debris - probe
Anomaly - Turian Insignia and a wrecked rover from the mining camp
Compound - Convince the gatekeeper to let you in with your personality,
peacefully if you don’t mind. All to do in the compound is loot the place. Go
back out side and enter the science station nearby for Kyle.
In the station, just make your way to Kyle in one of the small rooms at the
end. Convince him to surrender and you can leave. I believe you need to be a
master in your personality trait of choice, otherwise it will be time to
throw hands. If you do convince him to leave, exit and return to the Normandy
to resolve quest.

Side Quest - UNC: Privateers (must be done before Virmire)
Must scan the ship Majesty first, then you can land here.
Map:
Debris - crashed probe, fight a thresher to get it (not worth it)
Anomaly 1 (south) - near a mineral deposit
Anomaly 2 (middle) - Turian Insignia
Anomaly 3 (north) - Geth trap, if you want to walk into it
Adandoned Camp - reveals mineral deposits on map
Mercenary Camp - tough defenses outside of it; focus on people first since the
missiles are easy to dodge.
Inside, a pretty tough fight with snipers and Krogan. Be sure your team has
good cover. Then loot both rooms on both levels, and in the top room will
be a body with the item for the side quest. Just take it to Garoth in the
Citadel whenever, but before Virmire.

the door on the other side. There are some spots where you can get on crates,
and be sure to go down the path on the right; the path on the left just has
two groups of Husks and a dead end. Both side rooms have loot and the cockpit
has a log to complete the quest.

Side Quest - UNC: Listening Post Alpha
Side Quest - UNC: Listening Post Theta
Map:
Anomaly 1 (north) - just mining camp with a strange noise...
Anomaly 2 (west) - Medallion
Debris - probe, closed mine and minerals nearby
Listening Post - Go there, fight the Rachni you see, then go to the generator
in the middle and connect up the Mako engines to power up the turrets. If you
don’t you’ll be fighting wave after wave. Just post up and bunker in for
quite a long battle. I suggest using a strong sniper rifle, that helps. Talk
with Durand afterward.
Disconnect the Mako and head out to complete Alpha. Yes, that closed mine near
the anomaly will be open. That is the place you need to go and clear out all
the Rachni. Fight in the main room, but all you need to do is clear out the
Brood Warriors in the two smaller rooms in the corner.

so long as you’re patient you will get them easily. Then just run back out and
into the other room for the exit.
The Haliat camp is down the slope near where you emerge. Just snipe them or
go run and gun, either way. Once everyone is dead you are free to leave.

FAQ’s
Q: What is the first aid talent used for, especially for your teammates?
A: Basically, you want to at least get all your squad members to three,
including yourself, because when you use a medi gel, the effect is equal to
how many talent points you have in your team combined.
