Were you as shocked as I was to discover a colony of real-world historical figures roaming a lonely planet in Starfield? You can meet many famous people, including Genghis Khan and Franklin D. Roosevelt, but none prove as unique or exciting as Amelia Earhart in Starfield. She’s the one we want flying our spaceship!
Where to Find Amelia Earhart
You likely won’t encounter Amelia Earhart until the late game, as she’s found on Charybdis III, a sizable planet in the Charybdis Star System, a level 65 zone.
Upon landing on Charybdis III, you’ll note something’s off. There’s a small settlement ringed by large walls just up over the hill from the landing zone. But your first interaction is with a robot, and it’s not overly friendly. You quickly learn that something’s wrong with the whole colony, and if you want to recruit Amelia Earhart, you must solve the society’s issues.
How to Recruit Amelia Earhart
To recruit Amelia Earhart, you must complete Operation Starseed. It’s a miscellaneous quest found upon traveling to the Charybdis Star System. Once you jump into range, you’ll receive a distress call from the planet requesting your assistance. Once you land, head straight into Crucible.
To complete the quest and recruit Amelia Earhart, you must find a favorable solution for the various faction leaders in Crucible. You can kill Franklin Roosevelt, Genghis Khan, or Amanirenas. You’ll have to choose someone to side with, but don’t worry because your choice doesn’t affect anything long-term.
Once you finish the side quest, you can recruit Amelia Earhart to your cohort!
