Meet the Characters of Starfield: Shattered Space
Shattered Space brings new characters into the universe of Starfield, each with different backgrounds, skills, and motivations. These characters will make you navigate through mysteries in space and new challenges you may face in expanding its story. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most important characters you will meet along the way.
New Companions
Perhaps the most exciting new aspect of Shattered Space is the addition of new companions. Of course, once more, as in the original game, these characters will be available for missions, offering invaluable skills, insight, and even personal quests. Here’s what you might look forward to in terms of some of the companions you may encounter.
- Lira Vandros: This former space merc turned explorer comes sporting combat skills and tactical know-how. Behind this tough exterior, though, lies a complex personal story that serves as just the right foil to be unlocked by her companion missions. Lira should appeal to the tough, battle-ready fan who wants such a supporting character by their side.
- Draven Correx: Obsessive alien scholar who enforces the unknown secrets of the galaxy. Alien artifacts and hidden lore are well known to Draven, making him a very good companion for those players who want to dig deeper into the mysteries of Shattered Space. He doesn’t fight very well, but he makes up with his brains.
- Mara Sindara: She is the charismatic leader, the skilled negotiator, all about making alliances and navigating the very dangerous politics of space. Players who have preferences on dialogue and diplomacy find Mara to be a good ally, even when trying to get along with the various factions.
Each of these companions has unique abilities and perspectives that open up your journey in Shattered Space.
Faction Leaders
Shattered Space also adds new leaders and essential figures to the game’s pre-existing factions, filling out the world of possibilities that shape the story. Here are a few important leaders you might run into:
- Commander Kellen Strain: A hard-talking leader of an anarchic space militia called the Eclipse Corps- has a hunger to chip away at a new galaxy order from the shattered remnants of the galaxy. Depending on which side they choose to support, players will be thrust into perilous military assignments that test their fighting skills as well as their tactical acumen.
- High Scholar Ryn Varis: High Scholar Varis is a non-violent leader of the Luminara Sect. He develops old knowledge and expresses hidden truths of the universe. His faction is more into exploration and discovery. If you are more into discovering the hidden truth than into fighting, Varis is going to take you on a path of discovery.
- Admiral Selene Rhys: A Strong Fleet leader and leader of the Galactic Federation, Admiral Rhys is all about law and order in space. Mission: protect what is left of civilization. She can be very brutal in her methods. For structured players who like a little authority in their world, they will see Rhys more in some of the key missions that will draw the balance in space.
How Characters Shape Your Journey
Characters and choices you encounter in the game Starfield: Shattered Space can significantly define your experience of the game. Here’s how:
- Companions in Combat: Your comrades who not only follow you around, they will be there to also participate in combat, give you some advice, and even assist with some puzzles. The skills of your comrades will complement your playstyle. For instance, if you are more of a fighter sort, having a scholar like Draven Correx on your tail could help out with the more cerebral part of the game, or else a mercenary like Lira Vandros will have your back in combat.
- Faction Alliances: The faction leaders in Shattered Space provide quests, and to which side you join will get accustomed to what resources, abilities, and rewards you can possess. Sent by Commander Strain, you’ll do a full-frontal battle. Unlock sites for exploration and discovery with High Scholar Varis. Sometimes, your choices change the storyline, affecting how other characters and factions see you.
- Character Missions: Shattered Space will have a personal quest set for each of the companions. Completing the missions will, in turn, enhance your relationship with the characters, and in return, it can unlock special abilities or gear. It is actually learning about the crew, and it gives you valuable resources to use.
Create Your Own Character
While Shattered Space brings a lot of new characters to the game, don’t forget that creating your own character is really important for building the story. Continue to personalize the look, background, and skills of your character so you can have an experience that is really unique.
Here is how to prepare your character for the new challenges:
