Starfield's 'First Contact' Side Quest Shows Corporations Gone Rogue in Sci-Fi Morality Tale

  • "First Contact" side quest in Starfield involves helping a colony ship, the ECS Constant, stranded in orbit around Porrima II.

  • The ECS Constant was sent from Earth before FTL travel was discovered, so the journey took 200 years.

  • On the planet below, the Paradiso corporation has claimed Porrima II and doesn't want the Constant crew to settle there.

  • You can choose to help the Constant find a new home, send them into indentured servitude, or kill them all.

  • The quest highlights the dystopian corporate control in Starfield's world and has parallels to a Star Trek TNG episode.
