Starfield The Old Neighborhood Walkthrough
The Old Neighborhood will begin as soon as you finish One Small Step. Though Sarah encourages you to walk around, explore New Atlantis, and speak with the rest of the Constellation members at the end of One Small Step, you can speak to her immediately after to start The Old Neighborhood. She'll tell you that she got a tip from a contact in the United Colonies Vanguard and asks you to accompany her to the United Colonies Vanguard recruiting office. Sarah will be locked as your follower once you end the conversation.
The UC Vanguard office can be found at the MAST District as well. Simply follow your quest marker to the MAST building and speak to Commander John Tuala behind the desk. You can start the Faction Mission Supra et Ultra by signing up with him, but to progress this quest, you have to pick the choice to discuss Constellation business. He'll point you towards Moara, a UC Vanguard volunteer stationed at Mars. Mars is in the Sol System, so you'll have to make the jump on your ship there from the Alpha Centauri System.
When you get into Mars space, like before, your ship will be scanned for contraband by a United Colonies Ship. When you've been cleared, touchdown at Cydonia on Mars. Follow the quest marker into the Central Hub and enter the Broken Spear Bar. Speak to the bartender, Jack, and ask him about Moara to learn that Moara hasn't been back in a while. Jack will make up a story about how Moara has a huge unpaid tab and he'll only help if you pay it, but if you let Sarah respond to this, she'll call him out on his bluff and lower the price of his information. You can then further persuade him to give you the information for free.
If you do try to persuade him, you'll have three turns to get 4 Persuasion 'points'. Below are some examples of Persuasion options:
- Every minute that passes he could be in danger. (+6)
- What matters to you more, the money or Moara's life? (+2)
- We could be the only ones that can find him. (+2)
Whether you pay him or not, Jack tells you that Moara was last heading to Venus. The trip there should be short as it's in the same star system. When you get to Venus, you'll have to carefully navigate around some asteroids while remaining undetected from the Va'ruun Zealot Ships. You'll get a small in-game tip on how to minimize ship system power to avoid detection. Make your way slowly to the Satellite Beacon, and you'll hear a transmission when you get there of Moara stating that he's heading to the Nova Galactic Staryard.
The Nova Galactic Staryard is found floating in Luna space, also within the Sol System. Sarah will tell you that the staryard hasn't been run for a while and to be careful when boarding. The game will give you a quick tutorial on docking and boarding starstations and ships here. Board the Nova Galactic Staryard when you're ready and enter the main staryard.
As you navigate through the staryard, you'll have to fight several Spacers. Follow your quest marker to the Control Room and take the stairs up to the upper level of the room. Take the next set of stairs up into the Workroom. The door on the left will need to be lockpicked to be accessed, but contains a storage crate. Continue to the right and head down the stairs into a cargo bay. Make your way further down and follow the quest marker to find Vanguard Moara's Slate. You'll learn that Moara plans to draw out the Spacers to Neptune to try and get rid of them.
When you get to Neptune, Sarah will point out a lone spaceship drifting out in space. As you approach it, you'll hear comms from Moara Otero asking for help to deal with the mercenaries that hijacked his ship. Shoot down the ship's engines and you'll be able to board it. Fight your way through the Spacers - the quest marker will move on to the next Spacer every time you defeat one. When you've dealt with all of them, you can speak to Moara at the cockpit of the ship. Ask him for the Artifact and he doesn't put up much of a fight for it. You can then take the Artifact back to the Lodge to finish the quest.
After the mission ends, you'll unlock three new Main Missions - Into the Unknown, The Empty Nest, and Back to Vectera. You can complete each mission in any order, but all three must be completed in order to progress the main storyline.
