1. Naeva Meetup
The first piece of evidence you will find is the Naeva Meetup. It is definitely a pretty easy one to catch, as it cannot be missed like most evidence slates can. Naeve Meetup will be found at the beginning of a mission called “Deep Cover.” The piece of evidence will resemble a sort of mini pad, but it won’t be that hard to miss because its location will be guided to beginners.2. Carter’s Gig
You will have to find Carter’s Locker when you are on the mission of “Echoes Of The Past.” It will be on an abandoned UC prison known as The Lock.3. Warden’s Log
The Warden’s Log Evidence will also be found whilst doing the Echoes Of The Past mission or quest. It comes much later on after Carter’s Gig evidence mission, which is why it is mentioned after it. Similar to Carter’s Slate, the Warden’s Log will be found while exploring the UC Prison, The Lock.4. Request Denied
During the Breaking The Bank mission, you will have the option to get the Request Denied evidence. You will have to start your search for the evidence when you are on the Siren Of Stars ship. It will be found inside the Captain’s Quarter or the Captain’s room.5. Dumbrosky’s Embezzlement Scheme
The evidence, in particular, is a pretty straightforward and linear sort of evidence quest. It can be found while doing the Breaking The Bank mission, just like the Request Denied Evidence.6. Huan’s Talk
You will be able to get Huan’s Talk evidence during the “The Best There Is” main quest, which will come after a while. The Huan’s Talk will be located in the Well District of the New Atlantis City.7. Eubanks And Woods
Eubanks And Woods evidence will also be found from the same mission as Huan’s Talk, which is The Best There Is. You will have to sneak into the SY-920 ship and then enter Gabriel Vogal’s lab.8. Request A17
Now come the pieces of evidence that can be found on a space station known as The Key.9. Mira’s Demise
You can also find Mira’s Demise on The Key Space Station, but it is a bit hard to find because there are no such coordinates to it.10. Voss’s Parts
During the “The Best There Is” mission, you can find the Voss’s Parts evidence. It is the last piece that you can find on The Key Space Station. As soon as you get Mira’s Demise evidence, you can go and look for Voss’s Parts.11. Gennady Ayton
You will have to start a side mission for the Crimson Fleet, which can only trigger when you talk to Samina at The Key’s Clinic. The sidequest is called “Doctor’s Orders.”12. Message For Bog
When you are on The Key Space station, you must go and talk to Bog. He will be found in the Lost Nova Bar, and he will assign you a side quest. You can easily find him since he is the bartender of the bar. The side quest will be called “Retrieving The Past.”13. Chunk’s Heist Evidence
It is an easy-to-find sort of evidence with no quests attached to it, but it is missable if you don’t know where to look for it.14. Chiropetra
Now, you would have to reach the Alpha Centauri system on a planet called Gagarin.15. Hopetown Raid
This time around, you can find yourself reaching the Planet Volvo. The planet is from the Valo System and can be found whilst roaming and exploring various systems.16. Kreet Offer
Yet another easy-to-find location is for the Kreet Offer evidence. You need to the Wolf System now and on the planet Chthonia.17. The Big Score
In order to get The Big Score evidence, you must go to Neon City. You will have to pick up the Absolute Power mission, which will take you to Neon City for the Crimson Fleet. During the mission, you will eventually meet Estelle Vincent. She will be in Madame Sauvage’s Place, which is a bit hard to locate since it is not that visible via the map.18. Meeting With Bayu
It is the second piece of evidence that you will find in Neon City during the Absolute Power mission. There are three in total that can be found here. Meeting With Bayu can be picked up while looking for evidence, especially against Komiko.19. Ayumi’s Offer
You find yourself again in the Neon City, where your mission must again be the Absolute Power.20. Mortem Obire
The final evidence, Mortem Obire, can only be attained once you complete the quest Eye Of The Storm. It is the final quest to the faction questline of the Crimson Fleet. It is here where you will decide whether you want to side with Crimson Fleet or the UC SysDef. Get fully equipped with weapons so that you can reach the end of Eye Of The Storm easily.What Do You Get At The End Of Burden Of Proof?
After you are done collecting all 20 pieces of evidence, you must head straight to the UC Vigilance ship. There, you have to meet Lt. Toft and submit all pieces of evidence one by one. It can take some time, so it is better to submit the slates as soon as you retrieve them from time to time.- For each piece of evidence, you will get 1000 credits, totaling up to 20000 credits!
- You will also get bonus credits for submitting all of them.
When you are done submitting, you will receive some appreciation from Lt. Toft for the work you have done. She will start to open up more about her life; you just need to keep communicating with her. After a long talk about her life, she will finally give you the legendary Memento Mori Pistol.
By completing more of these missions, the player could become a full-fledged member of the Crimson Fleet. It is a really simple yet very confusing mission for the players. Check out eXputer’s articles about finding and unlocking the Almagest Jackpot and how to Romance Sarah in Starfield.
