What is the United Colonies in Starfield?
The United Colonies is one of the nine factions found in Starfield, and they are the largest political and military force in the Settled Systems. They are a centralized republic that upholds law and order in the Settled Systems.
They are one of the oldest factions in the game, even older than the space explorers of the Constellation Faction. They have formed a cosmopolitan society made up of tons of races, ethnicities, and creeds.
The United Colonies are rivals of the Freestar Collective, and they have an uneasy peace between the two after the Colony War in which the two factions fought. Whether this truce will remain has yet to be seen.
The entire United Colonies is under a centralized government directed by a council known as the Military, Administrative, and Scientific Triumvirate (MAST). The most important member of the United Colonies is Fleet Admiral Pascual Logan, who leads the military force and has no tolerance for the space pirates from the Crimson Fleet.
Where is the United Colonies in Starfield?
The United Colonies headquarters is found in the city of New Atlantis on the planet Jemision, however, they have multiple hubs throughout the galaxy. Being the largest of the Starfield factions, they can be found in a multitude of locations. Gamers shouldn’t have any trouble finding and joining them if they wish on their missions across the solar systems.
The United Colonies is just one of the many factions found in the game that players are able to join to tailor their Starfield experience to their own desires.
