Cydonia is an extensive underground mining settlement on Mars, functioning as one of the primary industrial hubs of the United Colonies. Players visit during the main storyline to track down the Vanguard contact Moara and gather information about Artifact fragments. The hub offers various local side missions revolving around corporate bureaucracy, mining disputes, and planetary exploration.

Tips
