Privateers
You'll get this assignment from Garoth in the Citadel (3.21). After entering Stenuus system, you'll find the vessel MSV Majesty. By examining it you'll discover signals leading to planet Xawin.
After landing on Xawin head to the privateer base (Xawin - 1). Eliminate the turrets and snipers from the distance and ride near the entrance to the building. Inside you'll need to fight some humans and krogans. Watch out for the snipers shooting you from the second floor.
After killing all enemies go upstairs to the room at the end of the terrace. There you'll learn what happened to Garoth's brother. Take his notepad and go back to Normandy.
Now you just need to come back to the Citadel and inform Garoth about his brother fate (3.21).
