UNC: Cerberus is about investigating a research facility located in Binthu. a planet in the Yangtze system. Assignments are secondary quests in Mass Effect, that are not mandatory to progress the game's story, but provide context and flavor by meeting interesting NPCs of all kind of Races, granting additional experience, and letting the player visit extraordinary and unique planets.

UNC: Cerberus Walkthrough

Once you arrive in Binthu. You have to raid three similarly looking bases. You can find one base to the north, one to the south and the last one to the east of your landing position. They each have two defense turrets on top. Inside the facilities, you will find Cerberus troops working around forcefields in the center of the room. Each base hold whatever creature Cerberus is currently experimenting on. You will find one holding three Rachni Workers, another one holding a Rachni Soldier and the last one three Thorian Creepers

A good technique for dealing with these bases is to shut off the forcefields at the first diagnostic station you see when you enter the main room, will make the specimens fight the Cerberus troops. The only disadvantage of doing this, is the clear lines of fire you'll give to the sniper and biotics.

Once the area is clear of hostiles, you can explore each base freely to obtain some loot. Regardless of the order in which you decide to take them on, you will find Admiral Kahoku in the final facility. Murdered by Cerberus operatives soon after transmitting the details of the operation to you. Once you examine his dead body, this Assignment will be completed and trigger the  next one on this Assignments chain, UNC: Hades' Dogs.
