This article will guide you on how to complete all the objectives of the mission “The Old Neighborhood” in Starfield.


Talk to Sarah

Talk to Sarah she will tell you about the mysterious artifact. She will tell you about a contact she knows who can help you find out more.

Talk to Sarah’s Contact

Leave the building and follow the waypoint to go to the United Colonies headquarters in the MAST District and talk to Commander Tuala.

If you ask Tuala about the Constellation business, he’ll advise you to go to the Sol system and look for a recruit called Moara.

Ask about Moara in Cydonia

Go to your spacecraft and set a course for Mars in the Sol system. Once you’re in orbit around Mars, choose Cydonia as your destination.

During intergalactic travel, you may encounter the Grav Jump error. Refer to this article: How to Power Up Grav Drive

Once you reach the Cydonia go to the Broken Spear Bar and talk to the bartender named Jack. You’ll have several options here. You may either pay him 2,500 credits for the information on Moara or use Persuade to persuade him to give it up for free.

He will ask you to travel over to Venus to find Moara.

Go to Venus

Go to your spacecraft and set a course for Venus.

Examine the Satellite (Avoid Detection)

When you arrive in orbit, shut down your ship to evade the Zealots and stay in stealth mode. At this point, Sarah will teach you how to be sneaky in space.

Sarah will tell you to turn down all power to your ship’s system except the engine. Weapons and shields, for example, are simpler to detect.

Turn down all systems except the engine for maximum stealth. You can leave one or two power bars in your engine.

Slowly make your way over to the satellite after dropping the power on your engine. When you’re close to the satellite, hit “Target” (E for PC). This will bring up the “Activate” prompt to examine the satellite.

Go to Nova Galactic Staryard

You’ll see the Nova Galactic Staryard in front of you once you’re in orbit. Set your course to reach Nova Galactic Staryard.

Dock with Nova Galactic Staryard

Aim towards the Nova Galactic Staryard and press the ‘E’ key to make the selection. If the Ship’s name appears on your screen then you have selected the ship successfully. If not then you have to do the selection again.

Start moving toward the target ship and make sure your speed isn’t too fast or you can stop it once you reach near it. 

When you come near enough to the Nova Galactic Staryard, you’ll be able to see the “dock” prompt on the screen. Press button R to dock successfully.

It’s possible that you’re approaching the ship from the incorrect side. If the docking prompt doesn’t appear, try circling around to the docking point and attempt to dock from the other side.

Find any clues about Moara

Start exploring the Nova Galactic Staryard once you’ve entered it. Proceed to the right and take a left just before the Conference Room.

Climb the staircase behind the control room.

Go up the stairs again and then walk to the workroom where you can peek behind the window glass for the shell of a spaceship.

Go inside the spaceship and you’ll find a log named “Vanguard Moara’s Slate” on a table. This log will inform you that Moara is in trouble near Neptune.

Go to Neptune

Go to your spacecraft and set a course for Neptune to travel to Neptune. Sarah will suggest that you avoid taking any hits from Moara’s ship as you approach it. She only wants you to damage the engine of her ship without destroying it, as Moara and a potential artifact are on board.

Dock with Moara’s Ship

After Moara’s ship is disabled, you can dock with Moara’s Ship.

Clear Moara’s Ship of Hostiles

After docking your ship defeat all the enemies inside Moara’s Ship.

Take the Artifact and return to the Lodge

Talk to Moara and then pick up the artifact next to the pilot seat. Finally, return to The Lodge to add the artifact to the Artifact Collection and complete the quest.
