Welcome to our walkthrough for the Supra Et Ultra mission in Starfield! Supra Et Ultra is one of the faction missions you can pick up at New Atlantis. To start it, speak with Commander John Tuala in the MAST building in the MAST District. Please note that this quest will require you to pay any outstanding bounties so be prepared for that!
Register for the Vanguard
When you’re ready to sign up, enter the elevator and select the “Vanguard Orientation Hall”. After exiting the elevator, you’ll be in the Recruit Registration section. Interact with a terminal there and select “Enlistment Agreement”. This is where you’ll need to pay any outstanding UC bounties before proceeding. Once you agree with the contract you’ll officially be a probationary member of the Vanguard! Congrats!!
Proceed to the Vanguard Exam
Enter the Orientation Hall where there is a lot of interesting history. Make sure to interact with all the buttons to learn more if you’re interested. Otherwise blow through the hallway to reach the end where an elevator awaits you. Take it to the piloting simulator.
Enter the Piloting Simulator
Before entering the simulator, check out the bathroom by Simulator 2 (on the right side) to find the Vanguard Space Tactics 01 on the counter next to a first aid pack. This will allow your ship missiles to permanently deal 5% more damage.
When you’re ready, speak with Exam Proctor Samuelson standing near Simulator 1. He’ll tell you a bit about what to expect from the exam and that you can take it as many times as you’d like before speaking with Commander Tuala. To pass and move on to the probationary mission, you’ll only need to defeat 3 Tiers of simulated opponents. If you defeat more, your required enlistment time for citizenship will be reduced and your enlistment bonus will be increased.
To officially begin the simulator, act with the giant machine near Exam Proctor Samuelson. When you’re ready to begin, take a seat in the pilot’s chair. The simulator will verbally tell you when you reach each Tier. After Tier 3, you can remain in the chair to continue on for the additional rewards or leave. The choice is yours. We made it up to Tier V where you had to defeat 4 enemy ships. Please note that there are a total of 6 Tiers. If you get defeated, exit the pilot’s chair and use the terminal in the simulator to restart the Tier (if you wish). When you’re done, exit the simulator!
Speak to Commander Tuala
Return to Commander Tuala in the lobby and speak with him then agree to join. Afterwards, follow him outside and speak with him again when he stops. Say “I do” when taking the pledge then agree to help out to begin your probationary mission. You’ll receive 5,800 Credits plus EX as a reward (if you reached Tier 4 in the simulator!). The Supra Et Ultra faction mission will then complete and the Grunt Work mission will automatically begin!
