How to Start A Legacy Forged
The A Legacy Forged Starfield mission will automatically begin after completing the Hostile Intelligence faction mission.
A Legacy Forged Walkthrough
Speak to Vae Victis
For the A Legacy Forged mission, you’ll first need to speak with Vae Victis in the basement of the MAST building in New Atlantis on Jemison in the Alpha Centauri system. During this discussion, you’ll learn who was behind the attacks. You can either side with Sanon or turn the culprit in. Thankfully, you don’t need to make an actual decision regarding this just quite yet!
Speak with Hadrian and Percival
Once you’ve finished speaking with Sanon, head up to the Cabinet Chambers / Interstellar Affairs floor and speak with Hadrian. You’ll now have to make a decision on whether or not you’re going to lie about her father’s involvement.
Tell the Truth About Her Father
If you tell Hadrian that her father was behind the attacks, she’ll be angry with him and say that he further sullied their name. In telling her the truth, you’ll be locked in to telling the cabinet the truth as well!
Lie About her Father
If you lie and tell her it was Orlase, she will believe you. Percival will be surprised as it was his former coworker but not entirely shocked. He asks you if you’re absolutely sure.
Address the Cabinet
During this address, you’ll need to determine the fate of Vae Victis, the Lazarus Plant and the Terrormorphs.
Vae Victis’ Involvement
Disclose Vae Victis’ Involvement
During the address to the cabinet, you’ll need to tell Abello it was Vae Victis who organized the attacks. If you already told Hadrian about her father’s involvement then attempt to lie to the Cabinet during this address, she will tell you that her father doesn’t deserve our protection and will tell the Cabinet herself about his involvement. Abello will want evidence to back this up and you’ll need to play the Emergency Recorder Snippet. She will launch a full investigation and you’ll be given a chance to request that his life be spared if you wish. Abello won’t see why someone with UC blood on their hands would merit leniency but will note our request when the decision is made. Alternatively, you can leave it up to the Cabinet or agree that the world will be a better without Vae Victis in it. Both options are essentially the same.
Lie About Vae Victis’ Involvement
During the address to the cabinet, you’ll need to lie to Abello and tell her that it was Orlase. She and the cabinet will believe you and bring up the fact that they received a report recently stating he was killed by us. Abello will ask if we suspected him in the attacks and you’ll say essentially no. She’ll give you a small reprimand (that has no actual consequences) of not bringing him in alive so they could bring him to justice but will then quickly follow up with how she’s happy that he was dealt with before he could do any more harm.
How to Deal with Lazarus Plant
Agree with Abello that UC Secures Plant
Abello will be happy and nothing else is mentioned.
Other Factions Should be Involved in Securing Plant
Abello and Yasin won’t see the value in doing this as they believe the other faction will just have more ammunition against them so you’ll need to convince them. Andreja likes the “It’d demonstrate to the Collective the UC isn’t planning to secretly use this down the line.” option.
Destroy Plant
Abello will want convincing of why another species needs to be wiped out besides the Terrormorphs. Andreja likes the “Destroying it – and asking the Freestar Collective to help – proves the UC has no ill intentions.” option.
How to End the Terrormorphs
Use Aceles to Kill Terrormorphs
This option is considered the safe option however it’s a slow process. Bolder, better and brighter future is the general consensus.
Use Microbes to Kill Terrormorphs
This option is considered the fastest option. There are concerns that there is an incredibly low chance the microbe could cause problems to humans and other species and that the Terrormorphs could develop a resistance to it. Andreja dislikes using microbes to kill the Terrormorphs.
Do Nothing as Destroying Lazarus Plant is Sufficient
This option will only be available if you selected to destroy the Lazarus Plant when discussing it with the Cabinet. Abello will dismiss this as she believes they have a responsibility to still wipe out the Terrormorphs in case someone reopens Pandora’s box in the future. You will be forced to select either Aceles or microbes!
A Legacy Forged Conclusion
No matter your choices during the address, you, Hadrian and Percival will receive Class One Citizenship as a reward. This new level of citizenship will allow you to enjoy ample credit disbursement, additional reduction on the cost of Colonial goods and the penthouse at Mercury Tower in the Residential District!
Post Mission Activity
Exposed Vae Victis’ Involvement
After you complete the A Legacy Forged Starfield mission, you’ll receive an activity to speak with Speak to Commander Tuala. For earning your Class One Citizenship, he’ll hand you 12,000 credits! You’ll then be given the choice of several new missions: run a Vanguard mission (Vanguard: Safer Skies), take on some Terrormorphs (Vanguard: Bug Hunt), help Percival with new alien threats (Apex Predator) or none at all!
Hid Vae Victis’ Involvement
Besides, getting an activity to speak with Commander Tuala, you’ll receive an additional activity to speak with Vae Victis about working together. Please note this activity is only available if you chose to side with him and hid his involvement during the A Legacy Forged mission. For this activity, make your way to him in Subsection Seven then begin speaking with him about the work he’s offering. You’ll agree to help him eliminate a “threat” to the UC, officially starting the Preventive Action mission.
