Starfield Freestar Collective explained: How to join, quests & rewards

radiotimes.com:

Resident space cowboys the Freestar Collective offer up all the western tropes you can shake a stick at, and for those looking to live the galactic gunslinger life, we have Starfield’s Freestar Collective explained with how to join, all the quests listed and rewards you’ll get.

Starfield companion Sam Coe hails from Akila City, being the descendant of its founder.

For those wanting to get the most authentic experience, he’s definitely the companion you want by your side, as many of the quests take place on his home turf. You might find you even fall in love with him after it all.

Hanging around Akila makes for a welcome break from New Atlantis, too, with its dusty saloons and more lo-fi vibe making it feel much more Tatooine than Coruscant for any Star Wars aficionados reading.

But this is Starfield, and seeing how long it is, we won’t diverge to any other sci-fi epics — so keep reading to learn about all things Freestar.

The Freestar Collective is one of two governments that exist in the Settled Systems, and they control the territories of Cheyenne, Nation and Volii.

The Freestar Collective are a libertarian confederation and were formed in 2189 when founder Solomon Coe asked the Volii system to go into an alliance pact with his own Cheyenne system.

The Freestar Collective went to war with the United Colonies in 2196 over a dispute with the UC placing a space station above Narion, a planet controlled by Freestar.

War broke out once more in 2308 when Freestar established a colony on the planet Vesta in the Lunara system, and UC protested it as a violation of the Treaty of Narion — signed at the end of the last conflict.

The UC destroyed the colony, sparking the war which ended in 2311 and there has been a fragile peace
