The Starfield Crimson Fleet is a group of pirates preying on hapless merchantmen and civilian vessels all over the Settled Systems. The forces of the United Colonies have had enough, and they need someone to put an end to the menace. That’s where you come in–a person on the inside–where you can either dismantle the pirate roamers from within, or enjoy the chaos that you’ve unleashed.

How to join the Crimson Fleet in Starfield
The Starfield Crimson Fleet quest is called Deep Cover. It’s not available at the start of the game. Rather, you’ll only receive it if you commit a crime in a system controlled by the United Colonies. Here’s a quick summary:
- If you get caught stealing or assaulting someone in New Jemison, a guard will approach you.
- Alternatively, if contraband is detected on your ship, you’ll get detained.
- There’s also a third method, which is to simply talk to the United Colonies SysDef personnel.
United Colonies SysDef and an offer you can’t refuse
Regardless of your decision, you’ll be well on your way to joining the Crimson Fleet in Starfield once you meet up with Commander Ikande. He has an offer you can’t refuse: go to jail for your crime, or find a way to infiltrate the Crimson Fleet. Naturally, you’ll want to choose the latter.
