Return Evidence to Lt. Toft
For the Burden of Proof Starfield mission, you’ll be tasked by Lt. Toft to find evidence of the Crimson Fleet’s illegal activities and deliver it to her. The list below shows what evidence she needs and where to find it. Once you’ve found all the evidence, Lt. Toft will tell you of her Crimson Fleet background then give you her legendary Memento Mori (pistol). Please note that you’ll still be able to find evidence after you complete this quest and return it to Lt. Toft for some EXP and credits!
