Starfield: The Key [Location, Characters, & Quests]

The Key Starfield is a Space Station that players will encounter while exploring the Kryx System in Starfield. It is where one of the most notorious crews throughout the Settled Systems, Crimson Fleet, resides. Players will encounter multiple important NPCs and quests that are related to the main storyline while they are on The Key.

What Is The Key In Starfield?

The Key is a part of the Kryx System, which is one of the most unlawful and dangerous systems among the Settled Systems. However, being a part of the Kryx System, it is also an unlawful and notorious place. Apart from that, The Key is also the home to the notorious crew, Crimson Fleet.

Location Of The Key

1. The Key is a part of the Kryx System.
2. You have to look for the Kryx System in the Settled Systems of Starfield.

   

3. Once you have located the Kryx System, click on the Kryx System.
4. Inside the Kryx System, you will see the Suvorov planet.
5. You will find The Key revolving around the Suvorov Planet.

   

6. Click on The Key, and you will see the jump button appear.
7. Press and hold the Jump button to dock onto The Key.

   

However, jump on to The Key only after you have completed the main mission, Deep Cover. If you try docking on The Key before that, then the Crimson Fleet will start attacking you without any notice. 

Quests Located On The Key

While on The Key, players will encounter four main storyline quests. Which they have to complete in order to progress through Starfield. In some of these quests, players will be rewarded with huge rewards. In the quest, Eye Of The Storm, players will get their hands on the Legendary Rifle, Revenant. A large number of credits will be given to players after the quest, Legacy’s End.

The following are the quests that are located on the Space Station, The Key:

Important Characters

Players will encounter many NPCs during their stay on The Key. However, there are some really important characters that play an important role in different quests of Starfield. Characters such as The Leader of the Crimson Fleet, Delgado, can be counted as one of the important characters on The Key.

The Following are important characters/ NPCs that players will encounter inside The Key:

Delgado

Delgado is the leader of the Crimson Fleet, whom you will encounter inside The Key during your exploration. You will first meet Delgado after completing the quest; Rook Meets King.

Jasmine Durand

Jasmine Durand is said to be the technician for Crismon Fleet. Jasmine goes with the alias of Jazz throughout The Key. Players will encounter Jazz during the quest, Eye Of The Storm. 

Shinya Voss

Shinya Voss is the “Reckoner” of the Crimson Fleet. Shinya oversees most of the transactions and credit accounts on behalf of the Crimson Fleet. Despite his importance, or perhaps because of it, the leader of the Crimson Fleet saw fit to install a remote-controlled explosive device into Shinya’s chest. As a result, he hasn’t left The Key in over five years.

Zuri Abara

Zuri Abara is the owner of Zuri’s Essential aboard The Key. Players can buy various goods such as Weapons, Armor, Ammo, and other Miscellaneous Goods from Zuri’s Essential. 

With all of the information provided above, my guide on The Key Starfield comes to an end. In this guide, I have mentioned details regarding the Crimson Fleet’s Space Station, The Key. I have provided its location and a list of the important NPCs, such as the Crimson Fleet Leader, Delgado, along with the choice of whether players should kill Delgado or not and the Quests that players will encounter while on The Key.
