Welcome to our guide for the Rook Meets King Starfield mission!
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the planets referenced in our guides and walkthroughs may not match up with yours due to how Starfield was created. In these situations, what you do and the places you visit on those planets should still be the same.
Starting Rook Meets King
Rook Meets King is one of the faction missions for the Crimson Fleet. You’ll start this mission automatically after completing the Deep Cover mission.
Rook Meets King Objectives
Rendezvous with the Astraea at Europa
For the Rook Meets King Starfield mission, you’ll first need to travel to the Astraea orbiting Jupiter’s moon, Europa. Hail the ship to begin conversing with Naeva Mora. She’ll tell you that in order you join THE Crimson Fleet, you’ll need to complete a task for her.
Find the Ragana Near Enceladus
Plot a course for Saturn’s moon Enceladus to find the Ragana. You’ll receive a hail asking why you are there. If you are trying to minimize casualties, you can pick the UC SysDef option. Otherwise, you can use the Crimson Fleet option or just attack the ship. If you board the ship, speak with Dimitri. This will give you the options to resolve this issue without violence, convince him to kill Austin or attack them all.
Return to Naeva in Europa’s Orbit
When the issue has been dealt with, return to the Astraea. As soon as you reach it, some Ecliptic Fighters will show up. Deal with them then hail the Astraea. Report that Rake was taken care of to be given the coordinates to the Crimson Fleet’s base.
Report to the Vigilance
Head back to the UC Vigilance orbiting Mars’ moon Phobos and board it. Follow the recruit to the Operations Center and speak with Commander Ikande.
Travel to the Key
Return to your ship and set a course for the Key orbiting Suvorov in the Kryx system. Dock with the station then board it.
Speak to Naeva
Speak with Navea nearby after the two Crimson Fleet members finish their business. After the conversation, follow her for a tour of the Key ending at Shinya Voss.
Speak to Shinya Voss
After speaking with him, take the elevator behind him to reach the Operations Center. Locate and speak with Delgado to officially join the Crimson Fleet. He’ll then give you your first set of instructions. The Rook Meets King Starfield mission will complete and you’ll be rewarded with Pirate Swashbuckler Gear, Grey Leather Jumpsuit, 250 EXP and some credits.
