Unravel the Enigma of Vae Victis in Starfield: The Ultimate United Colonies Quest Revealed!

Players who take the Vanguard's Oath in Starfield are thrust into an impossible mission alongside Hadrian, as they must survive a relentless Terrormorph attack. The faction quest of the United Colonies is a gripping tale that captivates players from start to finish, delivering an enthralling narrative filled with surprising plot twists.

To acclimate to their new role as Vanguards, newcomers are required to pass through the Orientation Hall. This immersive experience takes them on a museum-like journey through Starfield's rich history, providing a unique perspective through the eyes of the United Colonies. During this walkthrough, players discover the identity of the Fleet Admiral of the UC during the Colony War, Francois Sanon, also known as Vae Victis. His actions during the war resulted in casualties on both sides, ultimately leading to his execution.

After facing numerous challenges in convincing the Cabinet of Hadrian's non-association with Vae Victis and her significance in the matter, a new Terrormorph outbreak occurs in New Atlantis. Subsequently, players have the opportunity to meet Deputy Macintyre to celebrate their citizenship and are informed that a member of the UC ranks desires to establish contact with them. Upon reaching Subsection Seven, players encounter Vae Victis in person and discover that he has managed to survive all this time.

This encounter marks the first important decision in the United Colonies faction quest, allowing players to choose whether to inform Hadrian about Vae Victis or keep this knowledge from her. As the quest progresses, Hadrian gradually uncovers Sanon's involvement in the Terrormorph outbreak, and players will have several opportunities to disclose the existence of her father and his role in the entire operation.

Should You Reveal Fraincois Sanon’s Secret In Starfield?

Revealing Vae Victis' involvement in the Terrormorph outbreak on Tau Ceti and New Atlantis will prompt swift action from the Cabinet, leading to the termination of the United Colonies faction quest. Starfield offers a remarkable level of decision-making freedom, allowing players to even divulge Sanon’s secret to the news channel and broadcast it to the entire population instead of just the leadership. Throughout the entire United Colonies faction quest, the MC will consistently face the choice of either telling the truth or continuing to lie until the very end.

If players choose to conceal Sanon's secret and shift blame onto Orlase, the UC quest will proceed with a sequence of Preventive Action missions each time they encounter Vae Victis. By carrying out these missions, players essentially act as assassins for Sanon, eliminating the targets he designates. These targets are heavily guarded on various planets within the vast space map of Starfield. Nevertheless, for willing mercenaries, eliminating them should serve as a simple means of acquiring quick cash.

Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
