Constellation members will play a vital role in the main story quest, with some becoming your traveling companions as well as possible romantic partners.
Our breakdown of Constellation and its members will include information about themain story,companions, and full details on possibleromances!
What is Starfield’s Constellation Faction?
Constellation describes themselves as “the last group of space explorers” and their members are committed to unlocking the mysteries of the galaxy. When you discover a mysterious alien artifact, they eagerly welcome you to the group.
Constellation’s headquarters are located in theUnited Colonies’capital city ofNew Atlantis, which you should visit shortly after the opening sequences of the game. They are in the process of collecting the scattered pieces of an alien artifact in order to fully assemble it, and it appears that the piece you have found is part of this set.
This kicks off themain storyquest of the game – can the completed artifact answer some of humanity’s biggest questions? Why are we here? What’s next?
Constellation Members
Some of the members of Constellation will play a significant role not just in themain story, but in your journey as well. Some members will join you on your search for more pieces of the alien artifact, while others will remain behind to assist in other ways.
The following is a list of all currently known members of Constellation:
Constellation Companions
Certain members of the group have been confirmed ascompanionswho will be accompanying you on your journey through space. Four of thosecompanionswill also be available as potentialromantic partners, as well.
Sarah Morganis an ex-soldier and adventurer, who is now putting her hard-won skills to use leading Constellation. She has a lot to manage between all of the various members, but she’s not afraid to get back out in the field if the situation calls for it. She has a clear goal in wanting to find and complete the alien artifact, and she’ll join with you on your explorations through space.
Sarah Morganis also one of the confirmedromanceoptions in Starfield. In order to begin a romance with Sarah, you’ll likely need to no only befriend her but successfully complete certain personal quests for her.
Sam Coeis another capablecompanion, as well as a potentialromanticpartner. His more rugged, American west-like, appearance reflects his origins in theFreestar Collective. He likely hails fromAkila City, which his ancestor Solomon Coe founded in 2167.
In order to romanceSam Coeyou’ll need to earn his trust, which probably won’t be an easy task. Work on building up your friendship with him and eventually you’ll unlock his specific story quests.
Two other members of Constellation,BarrettandVascowill also be available as travelcompanionsas you search for more pieces of the alien artifact. Barrett is and explorer and scientist, while Vasco is a helpful bi-pedal robot.
These two companions have not been confirmed (or denied) as possible romantic partners. Out of the four which are available, so far only Sara and Sam are known for certain.
Companion Skills
When it comes tocompanionsandcrewin Starfield, the developers are making sure that quantity does not take over quality. There will be many different NPCs which you can befriend, persuade, intimidate or hire to join you. However, you won’t just be ‘collecting’ NPCs like they’re trophies.
All availablecompanionsandcrewwill have their own abilities and skills which make them unique and better suited to certain situations than others. You can pull up a Crew Roster in the menu system and assign each of them to certain posts, either onstarshipsoroutposts.
Consequently, you’ll want to make careful, considered choices about where you’re assigning yourcompanions. Their skills will make yourstarshipsmore powerful or youroutpostsmore productive.
Constellation and Other Factions
There are a number of powerful players within the Settled Systems, and given that Constellation’s goal means the exploration of the galaxy you’ll be coming into contact with all of them. The group itself has its headquarters in theUnited Colonies, but has members from all walks of life.
As mentioned previouslySam Coeis originally from theFreestar Collective. Vlad is said to be an ex-pirate and possibly a former member of theCrimson Fleet. Constellation’s major financier, Walter, is an executive at the Stroud Eklund company. It’s not yet clear what this business produces or who it might partner with. However, it’s possible that Walter has made friends (or enemies) with executives atRyujin Industriesand/or theXenofresh Corporation.
Interactions as well as even quest or dialogue options could be greatly influenced by having a certain Constellation member with you. Even your ownbackgroundchoices duringcharacter creationcan change how NPCs and quest givers respond to you. Depending on who you are talking with and how they are aligned, it may make the quest easier, or even harder, to accomplish.
