This FAQ is about the planets of Mass Effect. I will give the
info the gamegives about each of the planets and whether or not
they can be landed on orsurveyed and what journal entries or quests
are related to them. For the onesyou can land (that aren't story
specific) this guide will also tell youpoints of interest on the
planet.

----------------------------------Varmalus------------------------------------
Varmalus has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and helium. Its
surface isscorching hot, and mainly composed of alumina with
deposits of borax. The planet has an extensive network of
subterranean caves, formed over the millennia by volcanic
processes. In these relatively cool areas, some primitivelife has
developed.

-----------------------------------Metgos-------------------------------------
WARNING: Level 2 Heat Hazard
Metgos is a large terrestrial planet with an atmosphere of
carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Its hot surface is mainly composed of
nickel with deposits of potassium and heavy metals. It is a
mineralogical treasure trove, withconcentrated heavy elements
constantly being brought to the surface by volcanicactivity.
Metgos is inhospitable and dangerous, and expeditions must be
well-preparedto survive any length of time. With its high mass,
heat-trapping clouds andconstant volcanic venting, Metgos seems
well on its way to becoming a Venusian'pressure cooker' world.

Points of Interest:
-Transponder Signal: A Geth trap! Watch out.
Note: There is a Thorium Deposit near the transponder signal,
you should beable to see it on your radar when you get near it.
-Anomaly: A Turian corpse and a destroyed vehicle. You can
recover an artifact:
TURIAN INSIGNIA RECOVERED
While searching the wreckage, you found a very old letter
stamped with theGothis Colony insignia. Unfortunately, the text is
indecipherable.
-Debris: A Crashed Probe you can salvage items from.
-There is a Mercury Deposit in the lower left area of the map.
----------------------------------Theyar--------------------------------------
Theyar is a large gas giant with traces of chlorine and sodium
in its atmosphere. It also has a significant amount of water vapor
in the clouds of its upper atmosphere.
Theyar was struck by an asteroid at least 12 kilometers in
diameter within thelast hundred years. The superheating caused by
the impactor's atmosphericpassage created a large bank of vicious
storms along the equatorial band.
Orbital Period: 12.8 Earth YearsRadius: 60,774 kmDay Length:
11.8 Earth Hours
-----------------------------------Canrum-------------------------------------
Canrum is a small, rocky world with a trace atmosphere of
methane and krypton:Its surface is mainly composed of magnesium and
silicates with deposits of carbon.
Canrum was the site of the warlord Shiagur's defeat by turian
peacekeepingforces during the Krogan Rebellions. While this band
was not especially powerful, Shiagur was a female warlord - and one
of the few remaining fertilefemales, at that. She had, through
viciousness and cunning, parlayed here unique value into a position
of power. Krogan males competed for the right to join her band and
lie with her.
When Shiagur's death was announced, vengeful male krogan
admirers near and farswore both oaths against the participating
turian crews. In the end, several thousands of the turian
participants were killed in open combat or through assassination.
To this day, many krogan proudly proclaim that they have the'blood
of Shiagur.'

Scans of the planet Canrum revealed dangerous levels of
radiation coming fromorbit. Chief Engineer Adams conduced further
scans and discovered the remainsof an ancient warhead marked the
Parthia Colony insignia.
-------------------------------------Syba-------------------------------------
Syba is a standard Neptune-type gas giant, the upper cloud decks
of its hydrogen-helium atmosphere tinted a dramatic blue by traces
of methane.
Orbital Period: 162.1 Earth YearsRadius: 45,145 kmDay Length:
12.8 Earth Hours
AFTER SURVEY:
GAS DEPOSIT SURVEYED
Scans from orbit have detected a large concentration of
helium-3.

~~Gorgon
System~~------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This system is unlocked after you get the UNC: Depot
Sigma-23 assignmentwhich is after you complete both UNC: Listening
Post Alpha and UNC: ListeningPost: Theta.
--------------------------------------Wuo-------------------------------------
Wuo is a planet in the Gorgon system of the Argos Rho cluster.
It is a terrestrial planet only known from scan data picked up by
unmanned probes. Though over 76 AU from the blue giant Gorgon,
temperatures in Wuo's orbit are still dangerously high. Only ships
with very powerful heat radiating systems can venture that deep
into the system.
Fortunately, Wuo is not a terribly interesting world. it has a
thin atmosphere of nitrogen and methan, and the scorching surface
is mainly composed of aluminawith deposits of platinum. The world
is tidally locked to Wuo, leaving the sunward side scorched and
irradiated wasteland, and the dark side a frigid
andice-crusted.
Orbital Period: 158.0 Earth YearsRadius: 6,959 kmDay Length:
158.0 Earth YearsAtmospheric Pressure: 0.44 Earth
AtmospheresSurface Temperature: 1,157 CelsiusSurface Gravity: 0.66

-------------------------------------Vectra-----------------------------------
Vectra is a typical hydrogen-helium gas giant with traces of
methane and sodiumin its atmosphere. The heat of the star Gorgon is
slowly blasting away the gasgiant's mass atmosphere, which is
visible as a long, dim tail that traits behind the planet.
Orbital Period: 234.7 Earth YearsRadius: 69,833 kmDay Length:
234.7 Earth Years
------------------------------------Camaron-----------------------------------
Camaron is a terrestrial world with a thin atmosphere of carbon
dioxide and argon. The surface is scorching hot, and mainly
composed of iron with deposits of nickel. Like Wuo, Camaron is
tide-locked to the blue giant, forever "lookinginto the face of
Gorgon."
Orbital Period: 664.8 Earth YearsRadius: 5,198 kmDay Length:
664.8 Earth YearsAtmospheric Pressure: 0.23 Earth
AtmospheresSurface Temperature: 747 CelsiusSurface Gravity: 0.55

-----------------------------------Sharblu------------------------------------
A standard hydrogen-helium gas giant, the methane in Sharblu's
atmosphere givesit an azure blue.
The asari crew who initially surveyed the system (during Earth's
17th century) named Sharblue after a then-popular soprano. The
singer was renowned for her unusual skin tone, which was quite
similar to that of the planet.
Orbital Period: 1,711.0 Earth YearsRadius: 43,342 kmDay Length:
1,711.0 Earth Years
-------------------------Unidentified Space
Facility--------------------------
This space station appears to have been assembled from used "off
the shelf"civilian ship modules of diverse origins. There are no
obvious hull markings,and it is not broadcasting any ID signal.
Part of the UNC: Depot Sigma-23 assignment
------------------------------------Slekon------------------------------------
Orbiting at an unbelievable distance of 710 AU (over 66 billion
kilometers)from Gorgon, Slekon is a huge gas giant, with an
atmosphere tainted by methaneand chlorine.
Its 17.8 sol-mass star cannot have formed before 7.48 million
years ago. Atthat age, Jupiter had a radius upward of 100000
km.
Slekon is more likely a young Neptune in mass.
Orbital Distance: 710 AUOrbital Period: 4,483.1 Earth
YearsRadius: 77,115 kmDay Length: 4,483.1 Earth Years

~~Phoenix
System~~------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------Patashi------------------------------------
Patashi is a sun-blasted terrestrial world whose atmosphere was
blasted awaymillennia ago by the star Phoenix. The surface is
scorching hot, and mainlycomposed of iron with deposits of tin.
Due to its relatively low density, Patashi is tidally locked to
Phoenix. Seasof molten light metals cover much of the sunward
side.
Orbital Period: 0.3 Earth YearsRadius: 7082 kmDay Length: 0.3

samarium.
----------------------------Carbonaceous
Asteroid-----------------------------
This asteroid is emitting weak, intermittent signal at a
frequency of 1540 MHz.
Radius: 71 km
AFTER SURVEY:
PROTHEAN DATA DISC RECOVERED
During a scan of the Phoenix system asteroid field, you detected
an odd energyreading that Tali determined was quarian in nature.
She led the recon team into the asteroid field, where she
discovered and abandoned freighter. The team could not determine
why the ship was there but they did find a Prothean data disc on
board.
--------------------------------Sylsalto--------------------------------------
Sylsalto is a standard hydrogen-helium gas giant. It has no
remarkable features.
Orbital Period: 36.0 Earth YearsRadius: 56,621 kmDay Length:
13.6 Earth Hours
---------------------------------Tuntau---------------------------------------
Tuntau is an enormous, low-density terrestrial planet, with a
thick atmosphereof methane and helium. Despite being nearly 20 AU
from Phoenix, the star's great heat and the insulating thickness of
the atmosphere make the surfacesurprisingly temperate.
The crust is composed of and mainly composed of sodium and
silicon dioxidewith deposits of various light metals. While Tuntau
is not habitable,conditions make it a popular location for small
ships traveling through theArgos Rho cluster to land for drive
discharge.
Orbital Period: 63.0 Earth YearsRadius: 11,867 kmDay Length:
69.7 Earth HoursAtmospheric Pressure: 3.12 Earth AtmospheresSurface
Temperature: 21 CelsiusSurface Gravity: 1.1 G
Points of Interest:
-Hidden Structure: You will encounter a group of pirates outside
of it. On the inside you will find more and encounter someone named
Tonn Actus. Afterthey are all dead you can find some items and a
hardened crate in the next room. If you go upstairs you can find a
wall safe and when you open it youget a message:
Hanging in the back of the safe is a suit of armor, obviously
made for a krogan. It seems worthless; rusted and dented from a
hundred battles. Theturian must have secured it for some reason -
there's nothing else of value here.
-Anomaly: An Asari Capsule and a strange pyramid. From the asari
capsule:
MATRIARCH'S WRITINGS RECOVERED
You found one of Matriarch Dilinaga's writings on this body.
It's possiblethe writings came from the nearby ruins.
-Mercury Deposit: It is located between the Anomaly and the
Debris.
-There is also a light metal deposit on the planet
-Debris: A crashed probe you can salvage items from.
---------------------------Pinnacle
Station-----------------------------------
Only available in the Pinnacle Station downloadable content.
Pinnacle Station is asteroid-based -- close to the planet
Vebinok -- and wasoriginally constructed by the turians to function
as a concealed commandcenter during the Krogan Rebellions. It was
later retrofitted as a militarytraining facility by the Citadel for
highly-skilled special operations teamsemployed by the Council.
The combat simulator allows for training under a variety of
hazardousconditions, and promising competitors from all races
attend by invitationonly. The station has a radius of 340m and a
working population of 1200,and is currently commanded by the
Systems Alliance Admiral Ahern.

--------------------------------Vebinok---------------------------------------
Vebinok is a small terrestrial world with a thin atmosphere of
krypton and xenon. Its frozen surface is mainly composed of
carbonaceous material, waterice, and low-density silicates. Rare
but concentrated lodes of light metalshave been deposited by
asteroid impacts.
One hemisphere of Vebinok is covered by surface deposits of
oxidized copper.Approximately 270 years ago a turian bulk gas
transport was attacked by pirates in the Phoenix system. Damaged,
it made a rough landing on Vebinok. The heatof the landing melted
significant quantities of surface ice, and ruptured theshipping
containers spilling LOX across the surface. Before this
evaporatedand escaped Vebinok's weak gravity, it reacted to cause
the widespread rust.

-------------------------------Intai'sei--------------------------------------
Only available in the Pinnacle Station downloadable content.
An atmosphere similar to Earth's made Intai'sei an early
candidate for humancolonization. However, prohibitively high
temperatures and an arid climatehave proven a hindrance to
terraforming and agriculture. A few human citieswere founded, but
the majority of the human population on Inta'sei remainsscattered
across the vast deserts, operating wind farms and geological
researchstations.

--------------------------------Junthor---------------------------------------
Junthor is a large terrestrial planet with a thick atmosphere of
carbon dioxideand chlorine. The surface is mainly composed of
aluminum with deposits of nickel.
Surveyors found the ruins of a technical civilization near the
equator - evidently the colony of an ancient spacefaring race. The
ruins had subsided to almost nothing - merely wind-hollowed husks
of arcologies and other megastructures. In the center of the ruins
was a single column whose inscriptions defied translation for
several centuries.
When asari linguists finally managed a translation, the

When the Krogan Rebellions ended three millennia ago, the turian
chief of navaloperations, a distinguished soldier named Mehrkuri,
declared his immediateretirement. He disappeared into what was then
uncharted territory. It was onlytwo hundred years ago that his ship
was found on the surface of Pressha'slargest moon. It had landed
gently and been deliberately shut down. Of AdmiralMehrkrui,
however, no trace was ever found.

composed of carbon with deposits ofcalcium.
Antirumgon has been used as a crude anchorage for Terminus
pirates for many years. The shells of temporary dwellings blasted
by Alliance frigate patrols dotthe surface. But always, the pirates
return to ground after their ships' drive charges, chip out some
water ice, and trade slaves and stories.
The deeper layers of Antirumgon's interior are semi-liquid
slush, due to the presence of methanol. It is thought that
bacterium in the deep core create thisnatural anti-freeze. Some
species of Terminus pirate drill through the ice crustto recover
this natural alcohol.

--------------------------------Zaherux---------------------------------------
Zaherux's nitrogen-argon atmosphere is being blasted away by the
solar wind ofthe blue giant Grissom. Its surface consists of 'seas'
of loose silica dust,some kilometers deep, which periodically swirl
into global sandstorms.
Many unmanned probes to zaherux have been lost over the years.
Though investigation has attributed all mechanical failure or
computational error, a popular extranet meme insists the entire
planet is composed of dormat nanotechnology, created millenia ago
by a race even more advanced then the Protheans.
According to the story, Zaherux's silica dust is actually
'disassembler' robots which periodically awaken to defend
themselves. Though discounted by every reputable scientist, this
theory has been popularized by a series ofsensationalistic texts of
asari author Delsae Orthysa.

---------------------------------Patavig--------------------------------------
Patavig is the second of Macedon system's giant terrestrial
planets, and byfar the more interesting. Most of the surface is
covered by a vast sea ofliquid ammonia, in which a unique aquatic
ammonia-based biosphere has developed. While the frozen continents
are largely bereft of life, a rich bounty of complex organisms -
many larger than a human - flourish in the chilly, toxic seas.
While dreadfully inhospitable to humans, Patavig is suitable for
colonization by the volus. Negotiations between the Systems
Alliances and the volus' patrons, the Turian Hierarchy, have made
good progress.

---------------------------------Elentania------------------------------------
WARNING: Level 1 Toxic Hazard
Eletania appears to be a world eminently suited for
colonization. Sadly, appearances can be deceiving. It is covered by
a verdant carpet of mosses, algae, and lichen, and possesses a
thick oxygenated atmosphere, but the animalkingdom is a web of
microscopic symbiotic creatures. These are impossible to filter
from the air and necessary for the native life to thrive.
Unfortunately, they also cause anaphylactic shock when inhaled by
non-native life.
In short, settlement required either fully sealed environmental
suit, or replacement of the entire world's ecosystem. Some have
proposed limited colonization at altitudes above the symbiots'
range, or in areas where favorable winds keep the air clear.

There are several monkey homes and two debris, the one in the

gives you items. One otherinteresting thing is the Anomaly:
The Anomaly: A Prothean artifact
Do the asari consort mission be coming to the anomaly and after
you do the mission and have the trinket she gives you something
happens:
"Examining the strange Prothean artifact reveals a small,
irregular slot on the underside of the surface. Remembering the
strange trinket you received from theasari Consort on the Citadel,
you pull it out and place it into the slot. The ball explodes in a
brilliant flash of white light, momentarily blinding and
disorienting you. ***Slowly your senses return as you wake from a
deep sleep. You are along in the forest, though you are not far
from the caves you share with the others of your tribe. There is a
pain and a small lump in the back of your skill, as if a chip of
flint has been forced under the surface of your skin.
Leaning on your bone-tipped spear for support, you rise to your
feet. A sound draws your attention upward, where a strange
creatures hovers high above you. It is unlike the birds you hunt by
the lake's edge - it has no head and no wings yet somehow it flies.
It is a breast of shining silver; hanging motionless in the sky
like a cloud. You sense it is watching you, studying you.
Raising a hairy fist, you shake your spear at it in anger and
the creatures rises up quickly until it disappears from view. With
a satisfied grunt you make your way back to your caves and the rest
of the tribe.
You fall into the familiar patterns of life - the hunt for food,
the struggle to claim and keep a mate, the battle against the other
tribes that would claimyour territory. Days roll into nights and
back into days. Each time you rise from sleep there is the
sensation that you are not alone; that some 'other' iswith you
sharing all you see, hear and feel. At these times your hand goes
to the st range lump at the back of your skull and you remember the
silver creature in the sky.
The air grows colder, winter falls. You must range farther for
food, clutchingthe furs tight against you to ward off the chill. It
is on one of these long hunts that the strange bird returns. You
hear it before you see it, its call adeafening roar as it descends
from above, swooping down at you. A single greateye opens on the
underbelly, a glowing red orb. You try to run, but a finger of red
light extends from the eye and engulfs you, and all goes black
again.
You wake an instant later to find yourself on Eletania lying on
your back, theProthean artifact looming above you undamaged and
your companions standing over you. They help you to your feet,
puzzled. 'There was a flash of light andyou just sort of toppled
over,' one explains. 'Are you okay, Shepard?' the other asks. You
don't answer right away, wondering at the implications of whatyou
have seen: the memories of a Cro-Magnon hunter, captured by an
implanted Prothean data recorder. How long did they study the
primitive humans, observing them and analyzing the results art
their base on Mars? And what, if anything, did they learn from
us?
'I'm find,' you finally reply, realizing this is a mystery you
will probably never solve. 'Forget about it.'"
