Asteroid X57
Asteroid X57 has been hijacked by Batarian extremists who have engaged massive fusion torches to hurtle it into the colony world of Terra Nova. Shepard and their squad must deploy the Mako onto the surface to locate and disable the three fusion torches powering the asteroid's descent. After sabotaging the thrusters, the team assaults the central facility to confront the terrorist leader Balak and stop the impact completely.
Enemies
Standard hostile mercs equipped with assault rifles and shotguns.
Stationed on catwalks or towers, often accompanied by trained attack beasts.
Fast-moving quadrupeds that charge directly into melee range.
Batarian leader encountered at the final base who offers a lethal dilemma involving hostages.
Shops and people
- Simon Atwell: Free high-tier armor reward (choice of heavy, medium, light human armor, or Quarian armor) or an omni-tool upon completing the mission
Tips
- Disabling the blasting caps around the final hostage chamber requires locating and disarming all explosive devices before the timer expires if you choose to save the hostages.
- Bring squadmates with high Decryption and Electronics skills to salvage the scattered surveyor probes and engineer logs across the surface.
- Watch out for hidden landmines and laser tripwires placed directly in front of the entrances to the fusion torch facilities.
