During Mass Effect 1, there are three background specific missions that you can unlock based on your choice of pre-service history in character creation. Those backgrounds are Earthborn, Colonist and Spacer.

If you chose the Colonist background, then Shepard grew up in a human colony named Mindoir. This colony was attacked by Batarian slavers when the Commander was 16 years old and Shepard’s parents were killed in the raid.

About halfway through the game, when you exit the elevator to the docking bay, you’ll be contacted by an Alliance Officer named Lieutenant Girard. He informs you that a mentally unstable woman named Talitha has barricaded herself in the docking bay. She has a gun and is a danger to herself. The woman was captured by Batarian slavers during the raid on Mindoir when she was only six years old. She spent many years as a slave and was only rescued by the Alliance recently. Girard asks Shepard to speak with Talitha since the Commander also grew up on Mindoir and might have a better chance of getting through to her.

This starts the quest Citadel: I Remember Me - a mission only available to characters with the Colonist Pre-Service History background.
