Operation Starseed takes place in the isolated star system of Charybdis on the Charybdis III planet. Like many other extended missions in the game, Operation Starseed has multiple endings and rewards, allowing you the freedom of roleplay in its immersive environment. You will also come across the recruitable companion Amelia Earhart in this mission.


How To Start Operation Starseed Quest In Starfield

To start this quest, use your ship and get to the Charybdis III planet in the Charybidis star system. Once you enter the star system, you will receive a distress call in the form of an automated message.

The Grav Drive on your ship must be able to jump the minimum amount of light years required to get to the Charybdis system.

This distress call from the Crucible facility on Charybdis III will inform you that it needs more resources to carry out its mission. You will also receive the coordinates of the facility in this message.

Once the message is complete, open the star system map and navigate to your indicated waypoint. Find and land at the Crucible facility on Charybdis III and proceed with the dialogues with Tobias and Ada. After you finish the above conversations, Ada will direct you to talk to Franklin.

How To Reach The Facility In Operation Starseed

A player in dialogue with Franklin during Operation Starseed in Starfield.

Once you talk to Franklin, you will learn that the Crucible is a cloning facility where machines are cloning famous figures in the history of Earth. While the reason for their cloning remains unclear, Franklin will inform you that the inhabitants of The Crucible have been divided into three societies.

While Franklin is the leader of a society in The Crucible, he will ask you to meet with the other leaders before informing you of his intentions. Once you are done with the other two leaders, return to Franklin to continue the dialogue.

These are the Pragmatists, Believers, and the Renegades. After your dialogues with Franklin, you will meet all three leaders of Crucible societies and hear their views on the situation.

While leaving Franklin, you will meet Sherrif Wyatt Erap outside the building for a small interaction. While optional, this interaction will lead to an optional mission in the next part of the mission.

The following table provides a summary of all three interactions:

Character

Society

Plans

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Pragmatists

Believes that the inhabitants of Crucible are not fit to explore the stars, so they must foster a colony without the machines until they are ready.

Amanarinas

Believers

Wishes to rule over the Settled Systems by claiming the deeds of her namesake. She wants you to restore the facility and the test.

Genghis Khan

Renegades

Wants to break free from the Crucible by destroying the facility.

Regardless of their beliefs and ambitions, all three leaders of the societies at the crucible will ask you to check the facility on Charybdis III.

You will also meet Amelia Earhart on the left side of the door to Franklin’s building. She will offer to join your crew, and you can recruit her after completing the mission.

How To Complete The Secret Lives Mission In Starfield (Optional)

A player completing the side dialogues Wyatt Erap in The Secret Lives quest within Opeartion Starseed Starfield.

While exiting Franklin’s building, you can talk to Sherrif Wyatt Erap again, who will ask you to meet in a cave outside the Crucible so he can speak to you in secret. This discussion will trigger the Secret Lives quest.

This quest is optional and has no impact on the outcome of Operation Starseed. It is totally up to you to complete or leave this mission.

After meeting up with Erap inside the cave, he tells you that he is the clone of the famous serial killer H.H. Holmes, and going to the facility will reveal his secret to other inhabitants of The Crucible.

Since he does not want to face prejudice from the other inhabitants, Erap will try to kill you and himself by blowing up a fuel canister inside the cave. You can deal with this situation in two ways:

Decision

Outcome

Attack Erap

If you attack Erap, he will ignite the fuel canister to your right, blowing away both of you. As a result, 2,500 credits will be added to your inventory if you survive.

Persuade Erap

If you succeed in persuading Erap, he will decide to trust you, and you both can head back to the settlement. Here, you will have the option to reveal his secrets to the leaders at Crucible. While Franklin and Genghis will not judge him for his namesake, Amanarinas will become hostile towards Erap.

Before visiting the cave, it is recommended to be prepared for the explosive gas tank in case your persuasion fails, or you decide to attack Erap. Having the appropriate protective equipment will allow you to withstand the explosion without dying.

How To Explore The Facility

The third facility clue 'Diary page - Reborn' inside a player's inventory during Operation Starseed Starfield.

To proceed with the quest, head to the facility on the other side of the planet in your ship. Look for the seven clues spread throughout the facility by following the blue mission waypoints and returning to the Crucible to report your findings to one of the three leaders.

The research facility is filled with hostile Spaceroaches and Maggotmaws. Some of these hostile creatures are extremely high-level enemies, so be prepared to fight them while you are inside the facility.

In the facility, you will discover that you need a security override code to access the restricted-wing computer.

Regardless of which leader receives the information about the facility, they will ask you to meet Ada to investigate the Security override code.

How To Reach The Beagle

A player asking Ada about the Beagle ship during Operation Starseed in Starfield.

After talking to Ada, you will discover that the security override code to the facility is on a Beagle ship. Ada will ask you to investigate the navigation beacon of the Beagle in the Bel star system, which will then redirect you to the Zelazny star system, where the beagle is located.

The trip from the Charybdis system to the Bel system and then to the Zelazny system is quite a long journey. So, ensure your starship is adequately equipped with a powerful enough Grav Drive.

Once you find the Beagle, board the ship and access the ship’s data core. In the data core, you can download the security override code for the facility.

You will need a key to access the data core in the Beagle lab. This key can be on a table in the center of the left hall after the bedroom section.

The turrets and robots on the beagle will still be active. So, ensure that you have some ammunition while boarding the ship.

How To Get All Endings In Operation Starseed

The final choice in the Facility data core computer during Operation Starseed in Starfield.

After acquiring the security override code, return to the Crucible in Charybdis III. Here, you must supervise the negotiations between the three societies at the settlement and side with one of them, and report your findings to Ada.

Beyond this point, the game can get bugged, making all the inhabitants hostile towards you. So, it is wise to save the game as soon as you land at Charybdis III.

The mission’s outcome will change depending on who you side with. Here is a summary of the negotiations:

Outcome Number

Chosen Leader

Outcome

1

Side with Franklin

You must kill Genghis and the Renegades, but you can convince Amanarinas and her believers to side with Franklin.

2

Side with Amanarinas

If you side with the believers, you can convince Franklin to side with her, but Genghis will not accept this decision, and you will have to kill him and his followers.

3

Side with Genghis

Unlike the other two societies, if you side with Genghis, you will have to convince Franklin to side with you on the terms that Genghis will not destroy the Crucible. You will have to convince Genghis too. However, you will have to kill Amanarinas and the believers.

After the negotiation, you can collect the outfit of whichever leader you killed.

No persuasion is necessary to convince the leaders to side with you. You can accomplish this by selecting the appropriate options within the dialogue.

After you have tackled the leaders, complete the conversation with Ada and head back to the facility. Here, you will make the final significant mission choice when you access the facility’s Data core computer for an emergency reboot. You will have the following options and rewards.

Chosen Option

Effect

Rewards

Initiate Cleansing

Initiating cleansing will kill all the clones in the settlement, and you will not be able to recruit Amelia Earhart by the end of the quest.

2,000 credits and XP. You can also loot all the people in The Crucible.

Reboot and Restore parameters

Nothing in the settlement will change, but you will be able to recruit Amelia Earhart.

You will get 3,000 credits and XP for making this decision.

Reboot and choose a new super-admin

This option will allow you to hand over control of the Crucible to one of the remaining leaders in the settlement. You will be able to recruit Amelia Earhart.

You will get 6,000 credits for selecting this choice and XP.

If you choose the first ending, you can collect the outfits from all the leaders in the settlement for your character.
