Starfield Legacy’s End Mission Guide

Siding with the Crimson Fleet

Destroy SysDef Ships to Secure the Key

As soon as you reach the Key, it will be under assault by SysDef. Defeat the enemy ships then board the Key and speak with Naeva. When she’s done wasting your time, report to Delgado in the Command Center.

Secure the Defensive Batteries

Return to your ship then head for the Alpha, Beta and Gamma Defensive Batteries. You’ll need to secure each one from SysDef forces. They will be spread out in the orbit of Suvorov.

Return to the Key

Return to the Key for the final onslaught led by the US Vigilance herself. You’ll need to defeat her escorts first. After defeating most of them, more will spawn for a couple of waves. Once they are all dealt with, the entire Crimson Fleet will target the Vigilance herself. Once she’s been incapacitated, board her.

Confront Commander Ikande

Make your way to the Operations Center stopping by the brig along the way. Defeat the SysDef members there then loot the password from Armin Petrosyan and use it to release the prisoners. Continue fighting your way to the commander. You’ll be assisted by different members of the fleet in each of the sections. When you reach Ikande, a conversation will start as soon as you enter the room. He’ll tell you that he’s initiated the self-destruction of the Vigilance. You’ll be able to persuade him to turn it off or attack him and loot the codes from him and Toft to do it yourself using the UC Vigilance Command Station terminal.

Return to the Key

With SysDef stopped, return to the Key and speak with Delgado in the Command Center. This will complete the mission and you’ll be awarded 350 EXP and 250000 credits.

Siding with SysDef

Defeat the Crimson Fleet Scouts

We highly recommend making a save before you set course for the Vigilance! As soon as you reach the Vigilance, it will be attacked by the Crimson Fleet. Take out their scouts, and then dock with the Vigilance.

When we docked at the Vigilance we experienced a bug where we couldn’t board the ship. To fix this, close out of the game entirely then reopen it from your last save!

Once on the ship, speak with the commander. After the conversation, hand any evidence you’re carrying over to Lt. Toft then return to your ship.

Disable Defensive Battery Alpha / Beta / Gamma

Jump to the Alpha battery in the Kryx System then take out the battery and Crimson Fleet guarding it. You’ll need to do this for both the Beta and Gamma batteries as well.

Join the Battle at the Key

With all three batteries destroyed, jump to the Key to help with the assault. Once you get there, you’ll learn that the Vigilance is tied up fighting with Naeva. Deal with the enemies ships. Once all of the enemy ships have been dealt with, you’ll be free to dock at the Key.

Reach the Operations Center and Deal with DELGADO

Once on the Key, fight your way to the main area and enter Ship Services. Use Jasmine’s Computer to unlock the doors allowing you to move forward. Pass through the Depo fighting your way past the vendor and your best bud. Head into the Last Nova and work your way to the bar. Access the Last Nova Bar Computer to open the doors to the Operations Center.

Speak with Shinya Voss there to learn that his bomb has been activated. You’ll then have the option to try and deactivate it for him. To do this, you’ll need to Delgado’s ID. He’ll then open a door through the firing range for you. Fight your way through the Bunks to reach the Command Center where you’ll come face to face with Delgado. Speak with him to learn that he’s overloaded the reactors which will cause the Key to explore. You’ll then have the option to persuade him to stand down or attack. If you choose the latter, you’ll need to reset all three reactors to stop it. Then you’ll be able to take down Delgado. Head into the room he was locked in to disable the lockdown and the bomb in Shinya’s chest using Delgado’s Computer. If you decided to persuade him to stop, he will stop the reactor overload and you’ll be able to access is terminal to disable Shinya’s bomb.

Return to the Vigilance

Leave the Key and board the Vigilance which can be found nearby. Report to the commander to complete the Starfield Legacy’s End mission. You’ll be rewarded with 350 EXP, 250000 credits and a SysDef Formal Uniform.
