gameranx.com:

Joining the Crimson Fleet in Starfield is one of the coolest moments in the early-mid game. Being thrust into a deeply satisfying, roleplay-heavy scenario where you are playing an undercover cop hits all the right places in the old meat computer. Rook Meets King is where it all starts to get moving, and it’s when all the pieces fall into place for an awesome pirate-based ride.

Rook Meets King has you, the rook, meeting up with the leader of the Fleet…but only after you prove yourself.

It’s going to be a wild ride, so strap in and prepare for a good scrap.
