Andreja is a highly secretive character with a complex past in the expansive universe of Starfield. A former operative turned adventurer, Andreja’s personality is a blend of stoic intensity and underlying vulnerability, making her one of the most compelling companions in the game.
As with all characters in Starfield, forming relationships is a nuanced process. Building trust, making the right choices, and possibly even romancing your companions adds an exciting layer to Starfield’s already rich narrative and experience.
How to Recruit Andreja as a Crew Member
Recruiting Andreja is part of the main quest “Into the Unknown,” which also features another character, Vladimir. After docking at the space station, “The Eye”, in the Alpha Centauri system, you’ll talk to Vladimir about obtaining two artifacts. These will be found on procedurally generated planets that vary on different playthroughs.
Andreja can be found on one of these planets, however, there doesn’t appear to be any way to know which one that will be. No matter though, as she can’t be missed and you have to journey to both planets anyway to finish the quest.
Flip a coin and visit the first planet to secure artifact number one. Follow the waypoint to the artifact and extract it using your Cutter. If Andreja is nowhere to be seen, proceed to the second planet.
Upon landing, you’ll see Andreja holding her own in close-quarters combat, assisting her to finish the enemies off. She will temporarily join your quest after a quick conversation and help you locate the second artifact.
After the second artifact has been secured, return to the Lodge on New Atlantis and speak with Matteo about your findings. Choose a dialogue option to align with either “dreams” or “science”. If you align with “science,” you will gain approval with Andreja, laying the first brick in the foundation of your relationship with her. Speak further with Andreja and you’ll be given the opportunity to recruit her into your Crew.
