Last update: 02 June 2021

Indentured Service

Received from: Slaver [Illium - Nos Astra]

Description: This quest can be activated by talking to the Slaver found inside the Eternity bar in the north-eastern section of Nos Astra. During the conversation you'll have an opportunity to find out about the quarian's problem with the deal she has signed and now can't break. You can't buy out the quarian yourself, but instead you can offer help to find a solution to her problem.

This quest can be continued by talking to the Syntetic Insights rep, also found inside the Eternity bar. You can choose a special dialogue option of a renegade or an idealist to convince the asari to hire the quarian. Alternatively you can return to the Slaver and also use one of two special dialogue options to convince the Slaver that she should release the quarian from her contract. Completing this quest will result in earning experience, scoring renegade or paragon points and receiving 2000 credits.

Lost Locket Found

Received from: automatically after finding the locket [Illium - Transport station]

Description: You'll have a chance to activate this special assignment while completing Miranda's personal quest - The Prodigal. After you've defeated the final boss (Enyala) make sure to look around, because you'll be allowed to take a locket from one of the crates (first screenshot). This object must be delivered to an asari found in the north-western section of [Illium - Nos Astra]. The reward for completing this mission is 500 credits.

Medical Scans

Received from: Colonist [Illium - Nos Astra]

Description: You'll receive this assignment from a colonist encountered near the immigration office in the southern section of [Illium - Nos Astra]. Agree to help her out in cancelling a contract she's signed. Proceed to the south where you'll have to talk to Erinya. Choose one of the available topics to find out more about this person. Colonist's problem can be solved using a special paragon dialogue option. Once she's been released from the contract you can return to her to share the good news. If you choose a special renegade dialogue option you'll convince Erinya to keep the contract valid.

Blue Rose of Illium

Received from: Asari [Illium - Nos Astra]

Description: You can receive this assignment from an asari encountered in the southern section of [Illium - Nos Astra] (first screenshot). Initiate a new conversation and you'll find out that one the krogans seen nearby is in love with her. This quest has two endings - you can choose a special dialogue option of an idealist (convincing her that they should be together) or of a renegade (convincing her that she shouldn't start a relationship). If you've chosen the first option you'll meet them both during your next visit to the planet Tuchanka.

Stolen Goods Found

Received from: automatically after reading a message from a terminal [Illium - Spaceport]

Description: You'll have a chance to start this special assignment while completing one of Illium's main quests - Dossier: The Justicar. Start off by talking to a local detective (beginning of the main quest) to unlock access to a nearby crime scene. Proceed towards a guarded passageway and use a terminal found to your right (first screenshot). If you're playing as an idealist you should leave the terminal without sending any data and if you're playing as a renegade you should decide to upload the data. Choosing the second option will result in meeting one of the employees of a merchant Thax during your next visit to [Illium - Nos Astra]. He'll thank you for sending the data and will reward you with 1500 credits.

Smuggling Evidence

Received from: automatically after reading a shipping manifest [Illium - Spaceport]

Description: You'll have a chance to start this special assignment while completing one of Illium's main quests - Dossier: The Justicar. Soon after you've destroyed an enemy gunship you'll have to break a lock on a nearby door (first screenshot). Enter a new room and look for a PDA with the smuggling data (second screenshot).

This quest has two endings. If you want to score renegade points you should talk to Pitne For (first screenshot) after your return to the spaceport and give him the data. If you want to score paragon points you should talk to detective Anaya after your return to the spaceport and after talking to Samara. In both cases you'll receive some credits (more if you give the data to the volus).

Salarian Family Data

Received from: automatically after reading a message from a datapad [Illium - Dantius Towers]

Description: You'll have a chance to start this special assignment while completing one of Illium's main quests - Dossier: The Assassin.

You can finish this quest after returning to [Illium - Nos Astra]. Locate a salarian in the middle of the map and give him the datapad to collect 1500 credits.
