The Adoring Fan is a unique companion and crew member in Starfield, whose encounter is dependent on a specific trait chosen during Character Creation. This character pays homage to a similar character from Bethesda’s earlier game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Much like their counterpart, the Adoring Fan is known for their incessant praise and enthusiastic behavior.

While some players may find the constant chatter annoying, the Adoring Fan offers unique skills that can be valuable if you can tolerate their presence. They possess Rank 1 in both Scavenging and Concealment and excel with a Rank 2 in Weight Lifting.

To recruit the Adoring Fan in Starfield, select the “Hero Worshipped” trait during Character Creation. As you progress through the main story by completing Main Missions, you will encounter the Adoring Fan at New Atlantis on the planet Jemison, located within the Alpha Centauri System. Expect an enthusiastic welcome as they approach you during your exploration.

Amelia Earhart is a unique and enigmatic companion in Starfield, paying homage to the famous aviation pioneer of the 1930s. Known for her historic solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Earhart mysteriously disappeared, and her fate remained a mystery. Starfield brings her story into the game by offering players the chance to encounter and recruit her as a companion.

Meeting Amelia Earhart is no small feat and requires traversing vast distances in space to discover a lost colony. This expedition demands a highly upgraded ship, advanced skills, and a capable crew.

Upon reaching Charybdis 3 in the Charybdis System, a new mission called Operation Starsee“ begins. You will land at a facility known as The Crucible, where you encounter clones of historical figures from different eras. These clones are divided in their approaches to handling the situation:

• The Emperor seeks to destroy The Crucible and escape.
• The US President aims to disable The Crucible and take refuge on the planet until ready.
• The Queen hopes to fix The Crucible and usher in a new Golden Age under her leadership.

Your mission involves finding seven slates with clues scattered throughout the facility. Once you collect all seven slates, you’ll present them to the leader of your choice (Emperor, Queen, or US President). This choice will influence the subsequent mission, where you must unlock access to a restricted section in The Crucible by traveling to the distant planet Zelazny 1. This planet requires a ship with a minimum of 27 LY and further upgrades.

On Zelazny 1, you’ll retrieve the codes needed for the restricted section. Returning to Charybdis III, you’ll determine the fate of The Crucible based on the leader’s plan you supported.

Regardless of the outcome, you’ll gain access to the restricted section, allowing you to help Amelia Earhart escape the colony. While you can have her as a companion, romance is not an option.

Recruit Amelia Earhart by undertaking the complex mission detailed above, which begins on Charybdis 3. Your choices and actions during this mission determine whether you can have her join your crew in your quest through the cosmos.
