APEX Missions

After the arrival of the Initiative in Andromeda, the recently formed militia in the Nexus begun recruiting anyone, soldier or mercenary, to serve on the front lines in the APEX Strike Teams.

Here follows a list of communications related to briefing and debriefing for the missions given by APEX HQ Team.

Prologue




APEX Mission 1 - Drack's Missing Scouts
A number of krogan scout patrols have gone missing on a kett-held planet. Their last known position was near Firebase Paradox, a kett base build around Remnant artifacts they've been analyzing and exporting off-planet. We need to fan out and investigate.

APEX Mission 2 - Something’s Gone Berserk
A kett ship has veered too close for comfort to the Nexus. Intels indicates some of the missing krogan were taken aboard. We need to infiltrate this ship, neutralize the threat, and follow up on the krogan experimentation.

The Remnant Investigation




APEX Mission 3 - These Beautiful Killer Bots
The kett's fascination with the Remnant means that the bases are near important Remnant sites. We need to find out why.

APEX Mission 4 - Those alien artifacts aren't for you
Scavengers were stealing Remnant artifacts to sell on the black market. The more they took the more the kett came knocking. Not sure why the kett are so interested. We needed to get those back.

APEX Mission 5 - Archon's Remnant Fortress
Retrieved artifacts gave us the location of a cave network where the Archon keeps a collection of Remnant. In order to gain vital intel, we went there to find out what the Archon was doing with that Remnant tech.

Remnant Descent




APEX Mission 6 - Chasing The Archon’s Obsession
We had intel that the Archon was about to try reactivating a special Remnant prize. We needed to go in and destroy his plan.

APEX Mission 7 - Unraveling the Remnant
We needed to return to the Archon's favorite dungeon to uncover what he's researching - and find out why this place was so special.

APEX Mission 8 - Deeper into the Ruins
We needed to follow every lead to uncover the special Remnant tech that Archon believes he has.

Roekaar Occupation




APEX Mission 9 - Roekaar Occupation
A Roekaar cell occupying Firebase Aqua held crucial information. We needed to retrieve it and take out the hostile cell.

APEX Mission 10 - Chasing Roekaar Intelligence
The Roekaar on Firebase Aqua transmitted the key intel to an occupied outpost on Voeld. We needed to intercept it before it was disseminated to all Roekaar combatants.

APEX Mission 11 - Don’t Go Looking for Trouble
The Roekaar transmission caught the attention of a particular kett commander - and Firebase Aqua was in trouble.

The Call From Inside




APEX Mission 12 - The Call From Inside
We believe an intruder accessed our equipment inside Firebase Magma to trace a signal. Surveillance indicates it's a damn Batarian! We should investigate.

APEX Mission 13 - Unknown Connections
The search for the second Batarian pirate leads to an abandoned Kett tower. We'll send a distress signal from there. Careful though, there's outlaw camps nearby.

APEX Mission 14 - Hiding in plain sight
A Kett ship answered the call and the Batarian we're looking for is in the pilot's chair. Unfortunately, local outlaws have caught on that something's up.

APEX Mission 15 - Along For The Ride
The outlaws damaged the Batarian-piloted vessel. We'll have to collect salvage from another Kett ship to repair it.

APEX Mission 16 - Roadside Assistance
We’ve brought the Batarian-piloted vessel to the Firebase Derelict for repairs, but the Remnant are going crazy here for some reason.

APEX Mission 17 - Stepped On The Anthill
Firebase Derelict and Firebase Paradox are swarming with Remnant. We can't guarantee the Batarians' safety until we solve this mess.

APEX Mission 18 - Unstoppable Force
Outlaw looters have seized a firebase. At your discretion, APEX, this is a prime opportunity for field-testing the Juggernaut."

APEX Mission 19 - Destroy radiation weapon
"We've equipped you with additional shields to survive the radiation levels, but you must be cautious."

APEX Mission 20 - Disable purge weapon
Remnant are dismantling our firebase with an unknown technology that also destroys organic matter. Stop them.

APEX Mission 21 - Immovable object
We need you to hold the firebase while the rescue vehicle is delayed.

APEX Mission 22 - Signs Of Life
Remnant are unusually active in the old Archon's ruins. We've been contacted by a specialist Artificer who insists we investigate.

APEX Mission 23 - The Pulse
We have little Remnant expertise, but before the Artificer went AWOL, she claimed that something was different about these. We need to rescue her.

APEX Mission 24 - Hearts Of Iron
The Artificer is hell-bent on salvaging tech from Remnant Progenitors. She seems convinced they are too purpose-built to counteract APEX technology.

APEX Mission 25 - Ambush The Enemy
We'll attract an enemy commander's attention and steal their valuable intel.

APEX Mission 26 - In Need Of Heroes
Firebase Zero is under siege by kett forces. With limited supplies, we need you to hold out while we mobilize our most decorated operatives.

APEX Mission 27 - Deal With The Devil
We don't know what the kett offered rebel groups on the furthest fringes of the cluster, but now we've got twice the problem we had before. We need the best.

APEX Mission 28 - Enemy Of My Enemy
Kett are hunted on sight in Kadara, and a pirate captain is leveraging this for some unlikely allies. We can't afford to let outlaw numbers swell with kett.

APEX Mission 29 - The Evil Voice
Someone or something appears to be manipulating a significant number of Remnant and is using this to control warring factions on the fringe.

APEX Mission 30 - Recover Failed Mission Data
An APEX squad fell before completing their mission. You must finish what they started.

APEX Mission 31 - Disarm High Alert
We can't finish the joint operation while the enemy is on high alert. This mission is short, but incredibly dangerous.

APEX Mission 32 - Investigate Signal Disruption
We need to re-establish contact with our Firebase. Be careful. You could be walking into a deadly situation.
