Starfield is full of cool little easter eggs referencing historic occasions such as the moon landing or NASA playing a significant role in the main story. One such easter egg, in particular, is extraordinary. During the quest Operation Starseed, you can add the secret companion Amelia Earhart to your crew.
Yes, we're talking about THAT Amelia Earhart. Not only can you add her as a crew member, but she's also a companion and can be assigned to outposts. You meet many historical figures during Operation Starseed, so let's add Amelia Earhart as a companion in Starfield.
How to Start Operation Starseed?
You can start Operation Starseed by heading to the planet Charybdis III in the Charybdis Star System. When you fly close to the planet, you will hear a distress call and get the option to land in a location known as The Crucible.
Operation Starseed is the quest where you run into Amelia Earhart and many important historical figures from Earth. These include Franklin Roosevelt, Genghis Khan, Amanirenas, Ada Lovelace, and HH Holmes.
How to Find Amelia Earhart?
Amelia Earhart will be part of the population in The Crucible. To unlock her, you need to complete the entirety of Operation Starseed. We'll give you a quick rundown of the quest and the results of various choices. Avoid the last option on our list, as you might end up killing Amelia Earhart!
- Talk to the leaders Franklin Roosevelt, Amanirenas, and Genghis Khan.
- Meet Wyatt in private. Persuade him that you'll keep his identity a secret or fight him to the death.
- Head to the Facility and collect seven clues about the purpose of The Crucible.
- Share the data with one of the leaders. Note that the others will dislike this decision. Siding with Genghis means facing the other two leaders.
