Misery was the name of a planet which was cut from Mass Effect. According to BioWare: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development and The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3, Misery was written in connection to Cerberus, who would have conducted human experiments on the planet. Outside of the outpost serving as a hub, very little is known about Misery except for the fact that thresher maws resided on the planet.

Trivia
- Misery's writing is attributed to Mac Walters. According to him, "it was this planet with a little outpost that said, "Welcome to Misery"."[1] In an interview, he described a whole cut plot associated with Cerberus, spanning different worlds, which involved being recruited within Cerberus and introduced the Illusive Man, though this may also be related to the cancelled DLC Cerberus Brainchild.[2]

I originally came up with the whole Cerberus plot line, which has a bigger role in Mass Effect 2. You join the Illusive Man and his group. There was a whole global plot, a plot that spanned many worlds involving Cerberus in Mass Effect 1 that we ended up cutting. A few hints of that plot remained, and that’s what we built on for ME2. The plot was completely gone and the characters were gone. We built so much around the Illusive Man for ME2."
