Mission Rewards
- Reputation: +5
- Mission Credits: 15,000 credits
- War Asset: +40 TMS to Citadel Defense Force
Travel to Widow and Start the Chain
- Prerequisite: Complete “Priority: The Citadel 2”
- Location: Serpent Nebula – Widow – Citadel – Huerta Memorial Hospital – Patient Lounge
You’ll unlock this side mission after finishing “Priority: The Citadel 2.” That completion refreshes the Citadel with brand-new side content, including this one. The Citadel is the galaxy’s central hub, and it’s always identified in the western portion of the Milky Way map.
Meet the Consultant and Learn the Purpose
To begin, head to Huerta Memorial Hospital. Step out of the elevator, then look to the right-hand corner. There you’ll find an Asari in a white dress, speaking on the phone near injured civilians on stretchers.
She’s looking for the Rings of Alune. The intent is to call attention to a cultural crisis and, in turn, rally Asari support through hospital aid and outreach.
Find the Rings in the Silean Nebula
- Prerequisite: Complete “Priority: Rannoch”
- Location: Silean Nebula – Teyolia – Nevos
You may need to wait before you can actually recover the Rings of Alune, because the Silean Nebula region won’t be available until you complete “Priority: Rannoch.” After you do unlock it, you can reach the Silean Nebula near the western edge of the Milky Way.
From there, travel north-east to the Teyolia system. The journey is expensive in fuel terms—expect to spend 380 fuel to make the trip.
Once you arrive, move to Nevos, the second planet. Trigger a Scan to confirm the presence of an item you can collect. Then enter the planet’s orbit, activate the planetary Scanner, and locate the exact placement where the Rings are buried before firing a Probe to retrieve them.
While you’re in this area, it’s also worth checking for the Silean Nebula’s additional Search and Rescue items. However, one specific case has an extra step: the Elcor Flotilla on Oltan requires you to visit the Citadel Embassies first and speak with the Elcor Ambassador to pick up “Dekuuna: Elcor Extraction.”
Deliver the Rings for Reputation and War Assets
After you’ve recovered the Rings of Alune, return to the Consultant at Huerta Memorial. Talk to her and let her know the Rings are ready for her. Completing the handoff pays out:
- +5 Reputation
- 15,000 credits
- 40 TMS to the Citadel Defense Force
