N7: Eclipse Smuggling Depot

Eclipse mercenaries have left behind three YMIR mechs on Daratar (Faryar System, Hourglass Nebula) to guard their smuggled cargo and if necessary destroy it, should any rival organization happen to stumble on the area.

Acquisition
After helping Aria (Omega: The Patriarch), she will give you the location of the smuggling depot.

The assignment can also be acquired by scanning the planet. These mission notes are displayed after scanning the planet:
 * The planet Daratar in the Faryar system is a suspected Eclipse smuggling site. Cerberus is interested in obtaining the materials kept at this site. Operatives will be paid handsomely for any intact crates retrieved from the site. Be aware that Eclipse would rather see the cargo destroyed than lose it to a rival organization.
 * Payment will be made once the acquisition of undamaged crates is verified.

Walkthrough
Normandy SR-2 is detected while in orbit by the three YMIR mechs guarding the cargo. They will then try to destroy the crates before Shepard can recover them. There are 20 crates in the depot. Shepard has to destroy all the mechs before all crates has been destroyed. You will get paid based on how many crates survive. You can shoot at a mech to get its attention (and therefore stop it from destroying crates). When all mechs have been destroyed, the mission is completed. This option, though, should probably be reserved only for the easier difficulties, as YMIR mechs are aggressive and you may find that cover will be difficult to find as they flank you.

It is recommended you bring the Grenade Launcher, the Misslie Launcher, or the M-920 Cain. They are long range and can make the job go faster. Expecially with the YMIR armor. If you happen to have the Collector Beam then that is not a bad choice either. Recommended squadmates are Miranda and Garrus due to their overloads.

E-Mail (Nice Work on Daratar)
From: Cerberus Command

''Nice work. We knew Eclipse was hiding valuable cargo on Daratar, but we couldn't land without fear of their mercs destroying the crates.''

''We've wired the credits into your account. Damn glad to have you with us, Shepard.''
