[edit] Assignment List

Please note: the assignment names as given here are intended to match those in the game; sometimes the game itself is inconsistent, in which case all of the variations are listed here (e.g. Asari Diplomacy, Missing Person). Some missions are listed more than once; this is intentional and is intended to make them simpler to find by listing them in all relevant contexts.
