The freighter MSV Estevanico was lost one year ago in the Ploitari system. Surface scans of the planet Zanethu reveal the presence of a giant shipwreck.

The wreck bears signatures of the lost merchant freighter. A search of the wreck will confirm whether or not it is indeed the lost freighter as well as what brought it down.

Investigating the Wreckage

[001]

The wreck is indeed the Estevanico . It slammed into the side of a cliff. When the shuttle drops you off on the wreck, EDI warns you that disturbing the site too much could send all of it crashing into the canyon below.

You must find a safe route through the wreckage to the ship’s mainframe, which is miraculously still online.

[002]

Begin by shooting the panel of loose tiles to create a bridge below [001] . Then take the long, thin, sloping support [002] down and to the right, to where the tiles landed. Cross, and collect some iridium.


Spoils of War > Resources > Examine > Open > 500 Iridium

[003]

[004]

Climb the sloping structural support to a connecting walkway with more iridium. Then climb onto the adjacent support [003] and walk on it as it bends upward slightly.

Then carefully position yourself and vault onto the upper shell of the ship. Make a long left walking turn around, and then cross to the opposite side [004] .

Face the far end of the vessel, and move toward the flashing red light in the distance, below you.


Spoils of War > Resources > Examine > Open > 500 Iridium

[005]

[006]

Follow the giant structural supports into the heart of the wreckage, collecting the crates of iridium as you move.

The ship shudders and shakes with greater frequency and intensity as you move farther away from the cliff and toward the red mainframe computer.

Turn right and follow the support girder across [005] , then turn right, and right again, down a sloping support beam to more iridium.

Then head down the ramp and drop the rest of the way [006] . Cross the bridge that the ramp fell to create, for your final iridium deposit.


Spoils of War > Resources >
Examine > Open > 500 Iridium

[007]

[008]

Access the mainframe to gather intel on the final hour of the freighter [007] . When the data download finishes, the shuttle picks you up.

You jump aboard just as the wreck breaks away from the cliff and tumbles into the ravine below [008] .

You receive both Cerberus funding and found credits once this assignment is over.
