UNC: Hades' Dogs
From Mass Effect Wiki
After their bases were raided, the rogue agency Cerberus has murdered an Alliance admiral, and now Commander Shepard is the only one who can stop them.

[edit] Acquisition
This is the third assignment to stem from the UNC: Missing Marines assignment tree. After finding Admiral Kahoku's body in a containment facility on Binthu, you will learn the location of Cerberus' main base of operations. It is located on the planet Nepheron in the Columbia system of the Voyager cluster.
[edit] Walkthrough
The Cerberus base on Nepheron is labelled as 'Underground Facility' on your map. The facility entrance is defended by Cerberus snipers and commandos, and at least one anti-tank unit armed with a rocket launcher.
Once all the guards have been defeated, go inside the underground facility. The room layout is probably very familiar by now. Go down the corridor and into the first room. There are a few crates and containers with weapons and mods so be sure to check around. When you're done, go down the other corridor and in the large room are more Cerberus snipers and commandos.
After you've cleared the Cerberus forces, go to the far end of the room and down the short corridor. Turn into the right room to find storage lockers, tech kits and medical stations waiting to be decrypted and opened. When you are done, go into the last room and turn left immediately for a medi-kit station. At the far end of the room there is a terminal; using it triggers the following message:
You cautiously press a few buttons, and an alarm chimes - the optical database is flashing itself! Quickly, you copy as many files as you can to your hardsuit's internal computer. Its memory wiped, the computer shuts down. The files are sure to be encrypted, but you've got time to crack them.
[edit] The Shadow Broker
The next time you access the Galaxy Map, you'll receive a transmission from a Shadow Broker agent asking for the files you found in the base. Apparently Kahoku promised the Shadow Broker these files, in return for getting information on how to find Cerberus. You can transmit them to him in exchange for credits and some Renegade points, or refuse for Paragon points - though the agent will warn you that the Shadow Broker will not forget this the next time Shepard needs help.
[edit] Trivia
The name of the mission 'UNC: Hades' Dogs' clearly links to the name Cerberus, but may also be a pun on "Devil Dogs", a nickname adopted by US Marines.
