N7: Blood Pack Base

Commander Shepard is requested to send a squad for landing on the local planet, investigation of the mecenary activity and, if possible, destruction of the facility.

Acquisition
A scan of the 1st planet Zada Ban (Xe Cha system / The Shrike Abyssal cluster) reveals a Blood Pack Mercenary base, which could be some kind of weapons manufacturing facility.

The planet can be easily identified when this is in the information panel:

"ANOMALY DETECTED Scans show a crude base established on the planet's surface. Communications match known Blood Pack mercenary protocols. Numerous life signs matching vorcha genealogy detected. The base's material resources match our data on weapons manufacturing components."

Walkthrough
Upon landing, EDI notifies Shepard it has detected a high power source inside the facility, which might be used to destroy it.

Along the path, Shepard will find some datapads, hinting that the local boss, Kalusk, has complaints about the vorcha staff which has been assigned to his operation. Also, Shepard should be able to salvage some refined palladium crates, a Medi-gel pack and some spare heatsinks.

Following a path descending from the landing spot, Shepard's squad will have to deal with several waves of vorcha Blood Pack mercenaries of various types.

Then, behind a closed door, the squad will find the core ground of the facility which is guarded by more vorcha mercenaries and the krogan boss, Kalusk. In the center, lie two gas tanks, surrounded by four "containment" devices, which can be detonated (by shooting at them, they look and act like the usual explosive containers), and some kind of power device burning the gas. Shepard should not detonate all these devices before the ground has been completely explored, as, when the last device is detonated, leaking gas reaches a critical level and an evacuation warning is issued, shortly before the entire ground is blown apart, ending the mission with a cutscene.
