Ontarom is an uncharted planet in the Newton system of the Kepler Verge cluster where Shepard lands using the Mako to investigate an underground facility. The main mission here, UNC: Dead Scientists, involves confronting a mercenary leader named Toombs who has taken a scientist hostage over past Alliance black-ops experiments. Shepard must explore the mountainous terrain to complete the assignment and gather mineral resources and collectibles scattered across the surface.
