Venus is a planet which has the Corpus as the controlling faction.
Venus becomes accessible by defeating the Specter in the Venus Junction on Earth after completing the required tasks.
Early on in the game prior to being able to consistently access the Void tileset, the Dark Sectors on Romula and Malva are an easy way for new players to earn more credits than on a standard mission.
Trivia
Venus itself is named after the Roman Goddess of love. The names of its missions are from a variety of sources, with a few exceptions:
Exploration Programs aimed at studying Venus itself (Venera).
A long, narrow depression on the surface of an extraterrestrial body (Fossa).
Malva is a feminine Greek name that means "soft".
The name Romula could relate to Romulus, one of the founders of Rome and the mythological son of Venus herself.
In reality, the surface of Venus is way too hot to support life. Fragments obtained from Venus indicate that Orokin technology keeps the planet cool enough for life to thrive.
This is the first planet that players can encounter the Infested.
It is also the first planet where Dark Sectors can be accessed.
