Chohe Overview

Chohe is located in the Cacus system of the Hades Gamma cluster. If you have filled at least 75% of your Paragon bar, then Admiral Hackett will give you the “UNC: Besieged Base” assignment prior to landing here.

1 – Arrival

Chohe has a decent climate and reasonable atmosphere (not to mention a nice, starry sky), so stepping out of the Mako isn’t hazardous to your health.

2 – Plutonium Deposit

Survey this Plutonium deposit to get one step closer to finishing the “Rare Earths” section of the “UNC: Valuable Minerals” assignment and to earn a reasonable amount of experience and credits.

3 – Corpse

Search this corpse to learn that the victim died while examing the nearby space probe, then take out the hostile mercenaries, mercenary snipers, and mercenary anti-tank soldiers to the south. One would assume they were responsible for the murder.

4 – Crashed Probe

You can salvage some more upgrades by bypassing the security on this crashed space probe.

5 – Thresher Maw

Another one of those pesky (and dangerous) Thresher Maws will attack the Mako as you drive through this area.

6 – Mercury Deposit

Survey this Mercury deposit to get one step closer to finishing the “Heavy Metals” section of the “UNC: Valuable Minerals” assignment and to earn a reasonable amount of experience and credits.

7 – Science Base

If you’re playing a Paragon character and have the “UNC: Besieged Base” assignment, then you can enter this base to save the civilian researchers who are being held captive by biotic terrorists and their leader. As long as you don’t allow too many of the “insane scientists” to die (they’ll walk right into the onslaught), you can consider this assignment a success. You’ll also find several containers that can be plundered inside here: two malfunctioning objects, an upgrade kit, a crate, two locked crates, and a medical kit.

8 – Salvager Camp

Check the transmitter tower in this small camp to pick up “a recording of a wistful string quartet.” Someone obviously lived here at one time, but they’re long gone now. That probably means they won’t miss the contents of their locked crate, technician kit, and secure wall safe. As luck would have it, you’ll even discover three of Matriarch Dilinaga’s writings (one in each container), which are needed for the “UNC: Asari Writings” assignment.
