Starfield Guide: Choosing Between UC and Crimson Fleet for Kryx’s Legacy

At the culmination of the Crimson Fleet UC storyline in Starfield, a significant choice awaits players. This guide helps you navigate the decision of whether to give Kryx’s Legacy to the UC or the Crimson Fleet, outlining the consequences of each choice.

As is the case with many pivotal decisions in the game, it’s wise to create a save point beforehand. Starfield is filled with variables and events that can impact the outcome and choices available during this quest. Having a save allows you to revisit and make adjustments if needed.

If You Give Kryx’s Legacy to the UC:

• You immediately engage in a large-scale space battle against Crimson Fleet scouts, with additional troops aiding you if you gathered the appropriate evidence during the UC story.

• Subsequently, you launch an assault on The Key, involving a large-scale space battle to destroy various weapon batteries in space.

• You annihilate the entire Crimson Fleet and eliminate key characters like Jasmine, vendors, Samina, and Bog. You can save Shinya by deactivating the bomb in his chest.

• Naeva manages to escape, but you can convince Delgado not to blow up The Key. He will survive and be taken into custody.

• You gain access to the SysDef mission board focused on X, receive 250,000 credits, and obtain the Sysdef Formal Uniform.

• While exploring, you may face sporadic attacks from the Crimson Fleet, but you won’t encounter Naeva again.

If You Give Kryx’s Legacy to the Crimson Fleet:

• You fend off a UC advance force that attacks The Key and subsequently defend defensive batteries from a UC counterattack.

• An epic space battle against the UC ensues before boarding The Vigilance.

• Depending on earlier choices, you may be joined by Evgeny, Estelle, and Adler, who aided you in previous Crimson Fleet missions.

• You can convince Commander Ikande and LT. Toft to stop the self-destruct, sparing their lives. Otherwise, you’ll need to eliminate them and have the opportunity to loot Ikande for an epic rifle.

• You also receive 250,000 credits.

In addition to the moral implications of your decision, it’s essential to consider the practical consequences. If you side with the UC, you lose access to The Key’s vendors, who are among the best in the game. Choose your path wisely.
