Mass Effect (PC) Guide › Walkthrough › Chapter 3: Noveria

Noveria

Noveria is a small, frozen terrestrial world, barely habitable by conventional definitions.

It is privately chartered by the Noveria Development Corporation, which leases out labs to perform research too dangerous or controversial to be performed elsewhere.

Given Noveria’s unique situation, it is the source of many wild conspiracy theories.

Shepard’s time on Noveria is split between two major areas: Port Hanshan, where the Normandy comes to dock, and Peak 15, a remote experimentation facility housed within a mountainside complex.
