Rift Station
Rift Station is a research facility within Peak 15 where scientists attempted to clone and study Rachni. You arrive here to locate Matriarch Benezia and must either obtain maintenance clearance from Dr. Cohen to access her location quietly, or blast through the guards. The area culminates in a confrontation with Benezia and the captive Rachni Queen.

Enemies
Biotic specialist that accompanies Benezia, capable of using Warp and Throw.
Spits acidic poison at range and explodes into toxic fluid upon death.
Small, fragile swarming enemy that rushes you to detonate into poison.
Facility security guards that turn hostile if you access the restricted hot labs without permission or enter the secure maintenance shaft.
Tips
- Do not enter the restricted area via the guarded door if you want a peaceful solution with the scientists; talk to Dr. Cohen in the medical bay instead to synthesize a cure for the infected crew.
- Keeping the ERCS guards friendly early on allows Captain Ventralis and his security team to help you fight off the initial Rachni attack at the security perimeter.
