Decide the fate of Zhu's Hope colonists in ME1 Legendary. Use Anti-Thorian grenades for Paragon +2 or kill them for Renegade +2.
After clearing the Exo-Geni Facility, return to Juliana at the Upper Weigh Station. She will offer you Anti-Thorian grenade mods, which you receive regardless of your choice.
Return to Zhu’s Hope. You can choose to kill the colonists using conventional weapons and abilities, earning Renegade +2 per colonist slain. Alternatively, equip the Anti-Thorian grenade mods and use them to incapacitate the colonists, earning Paragon +2 per colonist rescued.
Consequences:
If you incapacitate a majority of the colonists (presumably 9+), the colony will be saved. This leads to encountering a representative in Mass Effect 2. If you also spared Shiala, she will be the representative. Saving the colony, completing Illium: Medical Scans, and sparing Shiala will make the colonists of Zhu’s Hope a War Asset in Mass Effect 3.
- Using the Anti-Thorian grenades is the method to earn Paragon points.
- Killing colonists directly yields Renegade points.
- Saving the colony has long-term consequences in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.
- Renegade +2 per colonist slain (if you kill them).
- Paragon +2 per colonist rescued (if you incapacitate them with Anti-Thorian grenades).
- Potential War Asset in Mass Effect 3 if the colony is saved and other conditions are met.
