What is the Starfield Crimson Fleet? Bethesda based the Crimson Fleet faction on the concept of space pirates, so if you consider the Raiders from Fallout 3 with a little bit more organization and some spaceships, you’re halfway there. Factions in Starfield are a core component of the space game, and the Crimson Raiders are one of the main foes.

Starfield factions will be integral when the Starfield release date finally arrives because depending on which ones you work with or fight against, those decisions will affect the entire game and which of the Starfield endings you wind up at. We’ve scoured through all the information Bethesda has released so far to put together this comprehensive guide to the Starfield Crimson Fleet faction, including who they are, their relationship with your Starfield companions, where they’re based, and what their overall goal is.
