MSV Cornucopia

MSV Cornucopia is a Kowloon-class passenger freighter found in the Caspian system of the Maroon Sea cluster. The Normandy discovers the Cornucopia adrift and non-responsive.

Commander Shepard takes a squad onto the Cornucopia to check her out. Everything seems quiet until they head into the cargo hold where they are attacked by wave after wave of Husks. The squad kill them off and proceed through the ship. Everyone has been transformed into Husks and there are stacks of dragon's teeth in the crew quarters.

Shepard goes into the cockpit and examines the ship's logs. They make disturbing reading. The Cornucopia was travelling close to the Perseus Veil when they found some kind of alien artifact. After they brought it on board, the navigation computer shows that the Cornucopia then... headed back beyond the Veil for some reason. The log entries after that don't make much sense, as if the captain's mind was beginning to unravel. Shepard and the squad agree that it sounds as if the crew were indoctrinated by whatever they found and compelled to travel beyond the Veil. The geth then turned the entire crew into Husks and sent the Cornucopia back into Citadel space, as a warning to organic races not to enter their territory.
