Quest Group: Faction Missions
Faction: United Colonies
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission A Legacy Forged.
This is one of the repeatable missions you can get after completing the mission "A Legacy Forged". To start it, talk to Percival whom you will find in the TMD Headquarters located on Mars.
I've got my targets. Time to head to [Random Planet Name] and harvest those samples.
Go to the specified planet and find the creatures from which you need to collect samples. You can take the samples by killing the creatures...

Samples collected. Now I just need to return them to Percival at TMD HQ on Mars.
Return to Mars and hand over the samples to the United Colonies Xenobiologist standing near the entrance to the base. You will receive 150 XP and credits. The mission will end and you can talk to Percival again to receive this mission again.
I handed over the samples to Percival and got my payment. If I'm looking to collect more, I'm sure he'd be willing to get me the specifics.
