The quest titled The Best There Is in Starfield represents one of the most intricate covert operations within the Crimson Fleet faction storyline. Players are tasked with infiltrating the heavily guarded United Colonies military station known as SY-920 to secure the prototype ComSpike module. Successfully executing this infiltration requires a blend of social engineering, careful stealth, and dynamic decision-making under high security.
Infiltrating Space Station SY-920
Beginning the mission requires traveling to the Sol system to meet up with Naeva and Huan Cazadora. Huan provides transport aboard her cargo vessel, allowing players to bypass external station security without drawing immediate suspicion. Once docked inside SY-920, maintaining a low profile becomes critical as hostiles will attack if your disguise is compromised.
To move freely through the security sectors, acquiring an officer uniform or press credentials serves as an ideal solution. Interacting with local engineering staff or exploring maintenance shafts reveals secondary access routes that avoid direct contact with heavy patrols. Strategic patience in this phase prevents premature alarm triggers that complicate objectives later.
Navigating Security and Finding the ComSpike
As you descend deeper into the facility, reaching the secure prototype testing area requires elevated authorization levels. Interrogating or persuading key personnel provides access codes needed to bypass biometric security checkpoints. Alternatively, skilled hackers can override terminals to clear security barriers silently.
Once inside the prototype bay, locating the ComSpike module becomes the primary objective. The research terminal contains detailed telemetry data on how the module operates, providing valuable context for the Crimson Fleet's overall fleet overhaul. Securing the device triggers a lockdown phase, shifting the operational focus toward a rapid and stealthy escape.
Escaping the Facility and Claiming Rewards
With the prototype secured, returning to Huan's ship requires navigating through emergency security protocols. Using maintenance vents or distraction tactics allows players to slip past incoming reinforcement squads without resorting to open combat. If open firefights erupt, escaping via an alternate shuttle bay offers a swift fallback path.
After returning safely to the Key, turning in the ComSpike to Delgado grants substantial credits and reputation gains with the faction leadership. Completing this high-stakes assignment unlocks subsequent strategic missions in the Crimson Fleet campaign, bringing players closer to the ultimate payoff.
