Starfield | Defensive Measures Mission Guide

by NightlyGamingBinge in

Welcome to NGB and our walkthrough for the Starfield Defensive Measures mission! This guide will walk you through starting the mission and detail the necessary steps for its completion. If you need help with a specific mission objective, check the quick links section to easily find the information needed.

Some of the planets referenced in our guides and walkthroughs may not match yours due to how Starfield was created. In these situations, what you do and the places you visit on those planets should remain the same.

How to Start the Defensive Measures Mission

Defensive Measures is one of the misc missions you can pick up in Akila City on planet Akila in the Cheyenne System. To start this misison, pass by the Barracks to witness Keoni Alpin and Davis Wilson arguing. To reach the Barracks, head to Shepherd’s General Store and follow the stairs to the right of it.

Defensive Measures Walkthrough

Listen to Davis Wilson’s Argument

As you approach the Barracks, David Wilson can be seen getting into an argument with Keoni Alphin. When they are done arguing, speak with Davis and ask what that argument was about. After you’re done with that, head down the stairs near David to find Kenoi and talk with her. She’ll say that she just wants to help by using some tech and then ask if you’d be willing to help by placing some sensors on the wall in specific locations.

Allen Extravaganza

Get the Guard to Leave the Tower

Return to Keoni nearby in the slums and speak with her. She’ll then tell you she needs to get into a nearby tower and slightly modify the terminal there. Climb up the stairs across from her to find the guard. Speak with him and you’ll be presented with some options. If you pass a persuasion check, the guard will leave at no cost to you. If not you’ll need to pay him 1000 credits to get him to leave. Alternatively, you can steal something in front of the guard. He will then arrest you and take you to jail, giving Kenoi time to mess with the terminal. You’ll have to pay a fine and they will take whatever you stole.

Get the guard to leave the tower

As soon as the guard leaves, head back down and speak with Keoni. This will complete the Starfield Defensive Measures mission and you’ll be rewarded with 100 EXP and some credits.

Starfield The Empty Nest Walkthrough

Talk to Sam Coe

Head in the greenhouse just off the library in the Lodge to find Sam and his daughter. Approach them to begin a conversation where he’ll introduce himself and go over the mission in Akila. Tell him you’re ready to start to cause Sam and Cora to travel to your ship. Make your way there when you’re ready and set a course for Akila City on planet Akila in the Cheyenne System. When you land on the planet, exit your ship and speak with Sam to kick things off. Please note that proceeding with the mission will lock Sam as your party member until it’s done.

Starfield The Empty Nest Mission orbit view of planet Akila

Complete the Job Gone Wrong Mission

To locate the potential artifact on Akila, we’ll need to get ahold of Solomon’s maps which are in GalBank. Unfortunately, the bank is currently being robbed, so you’ll need to take care of that first. You can check out our guide on the Job Gone Wrong here. Once that’s done, head into the bank and go downstairs to reach the vault. Sam will give you a key and three storage containers are flagged on the hud. Interact with the right one to find a Note for Sam. Grab and read the note, then speak with Sam. During the conversation, you’ll have the option to persuade him to tell you who Jacob is if you’re feeling so inclined.

If this is an NG+ run, you’ll have a special option while talking with Sam. He will like that option if you choose to use it.

Talk to Jacob

Exit the bank, then head east through town to reach the Coe Estate. Head inside to get introduced to Jacob then check in with Sam after to come up with a way to get the map. The options presented to you are: Persuade Jacob to hand them over, Have Sam distract Jacob and then steal the map, or Ask Cora for help.

Persuade Jacob

Speak with Jacob and choose the persuade option to go this route. You’ll need to fill up the persuasion meter to successfully convince him to give up the maps. Jacob will then give you the key to his office and let you go in to grab the map off of the filing cabinet to the right of the desk.

Steal Maps

If you choose to steal the maps, you’ll need to speak with Jacob and tell him that Sam wants a word. This will cause Jacob and Sam to step away allowing you to pick the novice lock to the door Jacob was guarding. Head inside the room then grab the maps which are resting on the filing cabinet to the right of the desk.

Have Cora Help

Sam will be against having Cora help in an effort to keep her away from Jacob. He will relent and agree to bring her, but he will dislike that option. Head back to the ship and speak with Cora at the landing pad to ask for help (Cole will hate this). She will happily agree and then take off to the Coe Estate. Follow after her. After entering the Coe Estate watch the scene play out after which Jacob will give you the maps.

If this is your NG+ run, then you’ll have an additional option when talking to Jacob. If you choose that option, he’ll hand over the maps without a fight.

Whatever option you go with, speak with Sam once you have the maps.

Before you leave, loot Solomon’s Adventures 01 from the nightstand in Jacob’s room!

Travel to the Empty Nest

To reach the Empty Nest, head southeast from Akila City. Once there, deal with the Shaw Gang, their turrets and one robot then head inside.

Once inside, there will be more members of the Shaw Gang spread throughout the cave you’ll need to deal with them as you proceed. When you come to the locked gate, you’ll need a card to open it. It can be found on a counter next to a Contraband Chest.

Pass through the gate and follow the cave to the end where you’ll locate the artifact. Use a cutter or something similar to break it free of the ore then grab it to witness another vision. Now that we have what we came for, it’s time to leave the Empty Nest.

Outside, you’ll have a confrontation with Shaw, and boy she’s not happy. You’ll either need to persuade her to let you go, pay her 4000 credits to let you walk away, or attack her. Regardless of what decision you make, head for the Lodge afterward.

If this is an NG+ run, then you’ll have an additional option to choose which will allow Sam and yourself to walk away without fighting Shaw. This is the exact same outcome as persuading her.

Persuade

If you choose to persuade her, the Ashta will show up and she’ll ask for your help in defeating them. It’s up to you if you want to. If you do, you’ll receive the Smuggler’s Razorback pistol from her.

Fight

If you choose to fight her, you’ll also have some local wildlife to deal with as well.

Return to the Lodge

Back at the Lodge, head into the Library and add that artifact to your collection. After some dialog amongst the members of Constellation, speak with Sam to complete the mission. You’ll be rewarded with 350 EXP, some credits, a Modified Calibrated Ratter, and Sam will become available as a party member.

Speak with Governor Hurst

Exit the Deimos Staryard Corporate Quarters. Instead of taking the stairs down, follow the path straight ahead. Enter the first door on the left and head to the back to speak with Governor Glen Hurst. Tell him you’re here on behalf of Peter Brennan. Before he turns over the shipment, he’ll want you to do him a little favor.

Find the Stolen Ship

You’ll find the ship near Umbriel, Uranus’ moon, in the Sol System. When you approach the ship, accept its hail or hold A to hail the ship. When speaking with them, you can lie and say you’re a Crimson Fleet pirate to board the ship or tell them you have strict orders to destroy them.

If you lied, dock with the ship, then board it. The pirates will know you’re not one of them and will give you two options. You can either attempt to persuade them or attack and kill them all. You’ll actually have a time limit to decide, so make your decision quickly! If you persuade him, you’ll learn he has an incriminating letter from Governor Hurst himself. He’ll then say that you can have it as long as they get to keep the ship. You can either make the deal or attack them (make sure to loot the Pirate Leader for the evidence). Either way, you’ll be able to explore the ship. Head down to the bottom level to find a deceased Sylvija Schloss. Loot “This is it” off of her.

Return to Hurst

It’s up to you if you want to destroy the ship. We chose not to and just made our way back to Hurst. Speak with him, letting him know that you took care of his little problem. You have several options for handling this!

  • [Lie] I destroyed the ship. Whatever it is, your secret is safe.
    • Says he’ll defer Brennan’s taxes as a bonus, but you get no credits, just the package.
    • If you go this route, you can give the evidence from the pirates to Booth’s boss.
  • I found your ship, but the pirates got away.
    • Since we didn’t hold up the deal, he wants us to give him 10,000 credits. If you fork it over, he’ll give you the package.
  • I found your note to the pirates. Seems like it’d be real bad for you if people knew.
    • Deal. Take the note, and I’ll stay quiet.
      • 12000 credits and package
    • No deal. I like the idea of having leverage on you.
      • He says you have nothing and you’ll be taken back to the previous options.
  • How about you pay me a little extra to keep this all quiet?
    • 5000 Credits, then you’ll go back to the previous options

If you’re looking to get the maximum amount of credits from Hurst, select the following options:

  • How about you pay me a little extra to keep this all quiet?
  • I found your note to the pirates. Seems like it’d be real bad for you if people knew.
  • Deal. Take the note, and I’ll stay quiet.

By selecting those options, you’ll get 17,000 credits!

Deliver the package to Peter

Return to Peter Brennan and hand over his package.

Approve the equipment request

Head into Brennan’s office and interact with his computer. Open the Requests folder, then go to the Replacement Mining Equipment tab. Approve the request! You’ll receive some credits and 150 EXP. This will then start the Red Tape Reclamation mission.
