Nepheron Overview

Nepheron is located in the Columbia system of the Voyager cluster. You won’t be able to travel here until you’ve received the “UNC: Hades’ Dogs” assignment following the completion of the “UNC: Missing Marines” and “UNC: Cerberus” assignments.

1 – Arrival

Volcanic ash drifts to the surface of this non-hazardous planet.

2 – Thorium Deposit

Survey this Thorium 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 – Platinum Deposit

Survey this Platinum 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.

4 – Beryllium Deposit

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

5 – Crashed Probe

Yet another fallen space probe rests at your feet. Bypass and loot.

6 – Underground Facility

A pair of Cerberus Snipers and a pair of Cerberus Anti-Tank soldiers guard this underground headquarters. Once you’re inside, you’ll have to face off against one final group of Cerberus Commandos and Cerberus Snipers in the main chamber. When all is clear, search the lower right room in the back for a terminal containing encrypted files packed with all the information you need to remove Cerberus as a threat to the galaxy.

Don’t forget to check around for containers, too. There’s a technician kit, an upgrade kit, a medical kit, a medical station, an aid station, and four storage lockers that can be ransacked.

7 – Mummified Salarian

Lying face-down in the dirt here is another mummified Salarian corpse. Search it to find an identification tag for Captain Varsinth, which turns out to be one of three you need for the “UNC: Locate Signs of Battle” assignment.
