Complete walkthrough for the UNC: Colony of the Dead assignment in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (ME1). Find clues, defeat Husks, and uncover the colonists' fate on Chasca.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the Assignment: There are two ways to start this assignment:
    • On Feros, hack a terminal on the top floor of ExoGeni Headquarters. This will add the assignment to your journal as 'Investigate Samples'.
  2. 2
    After completing Feros, travel to the Matano system in the Maroon Sea cluster. Land on the planet Chasca, and the assignment will begin after searching the first facility.
  3. 3
    Investigate Structures on Chasca: Make your way to the Matano system and land on the planet Chasca. Your map will show three points of interest to the southwest.
    • Northern Civilian Structure: Head to the northernmost civilian structure. Upon entering, you will be ambushed by Husks. Use the entrance to lure them out and defeat them. Loot the containers, but no clues will be found here.
  4. 4
    Southern Civilian Structure: Proceed to the southern civilian structure. You will encounter Husks outside before entering. Once inside, another Husk ambush will occur. Use the same tactics as before to defeat them. Loot the area, but no clues will be found here either, only evidence of the colonists' fate.
  5. 5
    Science Station: Travel to the Science Station. Expect more Husks upon entering the main room; lure them into the entrance to defeat them. Head to the back of the station and enter the room on the right. Here you will find loot and a terminal.
  6. 6
    Complete the Assignment: Interact with the terminal in the Science Station. It contains information detailing the fate of the colonists and what happened at the facility, thus completing the UNC: Colony of the Dead assignment.
Tips
  • Be prepared for Husk ambushes in each structure. Using the doorways to funnel enemies is an effective tactic.
  • Loot all containers and areas for potential gear and supplies.
