Andreja
The most mysterious of the four romanceable companions, Andreja, joined Constellation in 2328. She is the newest recruit in the space explorers ranks, with little knowledge of where she was.
Andreja has her walls up high when you first meet her; it will take correct dialogue choices and having her with you on missions as a companion to start bringing them down.
A fan favorite for a romance option, Andreja will eventually bring you gifts with high enough affinity as well as reveal some more of her past, such as her ties to House Va'ruun.
Cora Coe
The feisty daughter of Sam Coe. Cora loves nothing more than her dad and being one of the last real space explorers. Her ambition in time may one day exceed even the founding member's aspirations.
A lover of books and the great unknown, Cora will take every chance to tinker with parts of the ship. She has been traveling the galaxy with her father since her parents broke up; her mother does not think highly of the adventures Sam allows her to tag along for.
Cora is a crucial component to getting along with Sam Coe, romantic or friendly; keeping Cora Coe happy and mentioning her positively during conversations with Sam will increase his liking of you.
Vladimir Sall

Matteo Khatri
Matteo is the resident theologian of the group and has had an avid interest in the mysteries of the galaxy since he was a child. His parents scolded Matteo for not being 'normal' like other children but never let this dull his sense of wonder for exploration.

Walter Stroud
Walter Stroud is the self-proclaimed 'bank' of Constellation. He funds all their operations and is a co-owner of one of the Settled Systems’ most successful starship manufacturers - Stroud-Ecklund.
His interests seem mainly focused on money, although conversations reveal he has a sense of wonder about what is out there. Walter cannot be romanced or taken onboard your ship as a crewmate.
VASCO
One of the earliest companions you can recruit, VASCO is a utility robot from Constellation. It supports starship maintenance and combat defense systems, making it an essential part of your crew.
