Mission Walkthrough

“Into the Unknown” is one of three missions unlocked after completing “The Old Neighborhood,” with the other two being “The Empty Nest” and “Back to Vectera.” Players receive a request from Sarah to check on Vladimir, a Constellation member overseeing Constellation’s starstation, The Eye. The Eye orbits Jemison within the Alpha Centauri System. After reaching and docking with The Eye, players can board the starstation.

Vladimir Sall can be found seated behind a desk at the end of the starstation. He will mark the player’s starmap with potential Artifact locations and request assistance in locating Andreja, another Constellation member with extended field experience. Players have the option to inquire about Vladimir’s history with the Crimson Fleet, initiating the Activity “Visit Vladimir’s House.” Subsequently, players can choose to visit either Procyon III or Nira. Both planets must be visited to progress in the mission.

Procyon III is located in the Procyon A System. During the initial visit, players receive a transmission from Mrs. Whitmore, who explains that her ship and class have become stranded on the planet due to a Grav Drive malfunction. Players can assist by providing 10 Ship Parts to repair the leakage. Upon completing this task, players can proceed to the Occupied Cave to advance the main mission. The journey through the cave involves confronting Pack Coralbug Stalkers, collecting valuable items, and ultimately retrieving Artifact Zeta from ore deposits.

Nitra is part of the Narion System. Landing at the Abandoned Mine, players confront Sirens while progressing toward the mission marker. Deep within the cave known as the Deep Cave, players meet Andreja, a fellow Constellation member who becomes a companion for this mission. Players encounter robots in the area and can choose to either disable them or calibrate them to fight on their side using a nearby computer. Advancing further, players reach the Artifact location, gather Artifact Iota from Caelumite deposits, and gain Andreja as a Companion for future missions.

Returning to the Lodge at New Atlantis, players add the acquired Artifacts to Constellation’s collection. A friendly competition with Matteo is initiated, and Andreja becomes available as a Companion for upcoming Missions. Vladimir contacts the player, revealing new, enigmatic scanner readings. Players are tasked with returning to Procyon III, where The Eye’s scanners have detected an even larger Artifact reading. However, the exact location remains elusive.

The journey leads back to Procyon III within the Procyon A System, where players can land at the Scanner Anomaly. Using their scanner, players follow distortions that guide them to Temple Eta. Inside the temple, players navigate an anti-gravity field and gain their first Power, “Anti-Gravity Field.” This tutorial introduces players to Powers and how to equip them through the Powers menu. Returning to the Lodge at New Atlantis, players engage in a meeting where they demonstrate the “Anti-Gravity Field” ability. Vladimir raises the possibility of Artifacts having their own temples, each potentially granting additional Powers. Players can periodically visit Vladimir for updates on temple readings, and they will receive notifications when planets with temples are encountered.

The “Into the Unknown” mission concludes, and players unlock the Miscellaneous Mission “Power from Beyond” to track visited and unvisited temples.
