Cerberus agents performed experiments on human children purchased from Batarian slavers, enhancing their biotic abilities. The organization was also behind several other unethical experiments. They also create EDI using the rogue VI encountered on Earth's moon. It's even believed that Cerberus was behind the Thresher Maw attack on Akuze, of which Shepard was the sole survivor if the player picked that backstory.

The Systems Alliance was activating the Charon Relay, an act which unbeknownst to humanity breached Citadel regulations after the Rachni Wars, beginning with a group of scientists activating a relay leading to Rachni space.
