Convincing Balak to cooperate at the end of Citadel: Batarian Codes side quest [15 points].

Completing Kite's Nest: Pillars of Strength side quest [40 points].

The main war asset (100 points) is obtained no matter how the quest about the batarian codes has ended. Convincing Balak to provide help is only possible by using one of the special dialogue options and only if he didn't die in the Mass Effect 1.

This asset will probably appear on the list after completing the main quest about the Cerberus attack on the Citadel.

Be careful, because wrong decisions may result in losing a few points (the second column of this table lists only the actions that allow to earn points).
