Bethesda games are often filled with strange, mysterious, or funny characters that are littered throughout the world, with Starfield being no exception. The Mysterious Captain is one such character that you will likely encounter randomly if you play Starfield long enough.

Though you meet the majority of characters in Starfield while traversing around the countless planets throughout the Settled Systems, deep space contains some of the strangest NPCs. From Juno to Grandma’s Ship, space is full of spontaneous encounters.

If you are either trying to meet the Mysterious Captain or figure out who this figure may be, here’s what you need to know.

Warning: there are massive spoilers ahead.

The Mysterious Captain in Starfield, explained

The Mysterious Captain is a Starborn trader that you can meet after entering into The Unity and become a Starborn yourself. The first time you meet with the Mysterious Captain, she is incredibly ominous and vague with her words, though says that she is “rooting” for you.

Later on, you can meet the Mysterious Captain again as the Starborn Trader. The Mysterious Captain then reveals that she found the endless life of a Starborn too tiresome and instead set up a shop in the deep parts of space.

If you are interested in learning more about the character, then I definitely recommend going through all her dialogue options the moment you see her. This character appears completely at random and there isn’t any set way to find her.

How to find the Mysterious Captain in Starfield

The interactions with the Mysterious Captain and later Starborn Trader are completely random. You can get the first interaction with Mysterious Captain by Grav Jumping around the various star systems in Starfield. The chances of deliberately finding the Mysterious Captain are slim, but if you play for long enough you will eventually, and likely unexpectedly, find this character.

Finding the Starborn Trader is also a matter of pure chance. I had luck finding her in the Feynman Star Systen near the Feyman I planet’s orbit, though this is not guaranteed for everybody. If you are lucky enough to find this elusive NPC, you can purchase a selection of rare in-organic materials, weapons, and other extremely valuable contents.
