Introduction

Are you ready to embark on an interstellar adventure in Starfield? If so, then you must not miss the captivating Paradiso location. Aptly named, Paradiso is a colossal hotel that serves as a holiday resort for citizens in Starfield, offering a luxurious and immersive experience. The mission “First Contact” takes place within the confines of this magnificent establishment. New Atlantis, a nearby destination, is abuzz with rumors of the single life being significantly better at Paradiso. Let’s dive into the details of this remarkable location and learn how to complete the thrilling “First Contact” mission.

Starfield Paradiso Location

Paradiso in Starfield is nestled on the planet Porrima II, which belongs to the Porrima system. To reach Paradiso, you need to undertake three grav jumps from Alpha Centauri through Olympus and Volii. Within the Porrima system, the planets are numbered Porrima I to Porrima VI, so ensure you select the correct one.

Upon approaching Porrima II, you will receive a transmission introducing you to the mission “First Contact.” This mission requires you to seek out Chief Sugiyama, who is conveniently located near the landing site on Paradiso. Your objective is to establish communication between the hotel and an ancient Earth ship that has been adrift in space above Porrima II.

After encountering communication issues similar to those faced by the crew of the ECS Constant, you board the ship and make a startling discovery. The ECS Constant is an Earth colony ship that has been en route to Porrima II for nearly two centuries.

The mission unfolds with Captain Diana Brackenridge explaining the situation. The crew of the ECS Constant has laid claim to Porrima II as their final destination, and she requests your assistance in negotiating with Oliver Campbell, the CEO of Paradiso Group. Captain Brackenridge hopes to convince Paradiso Group to vacate the planet so that the ECS Constant crew can settle in. However, this proposition is met with skepticism.

Three Options to Complete the Quest

During your conversation with Oliver Campbell, he presents three choices to bring the quest to a resolution:

• Allow the ECS Constant crew to work for Hotel Paradiso as servants in exchange for housing and food.
• Procure a grav drive for the ECS Constant, enabling them to find an alternative planet for settlement.
• Decide to destroy the ECS Constant entirely.

If you prefer to avoid the path of violence, the first two options are the most viable.

Settle Choice

If you choose the option to integrate the ECS Constant crew into Hotel Paradiso, you will need to gather specific resources. Paradiso Group requests 10 lithium, 80 iron, 20 sealant, and 40 fiber. However, if you pass a persuasion check with Captain Brackenridge, the ECS Constant will contribute some of the required materials.

Grav Drive Choice

Opting to acquire a grav drive for the ECS Constant involves interacting with Bennu in Hotel Paradiso. The default cost for the grav drive is 40,000 credits, but you can negotiate with Bennu to lower the price to 25,000 credits. Once you obtain the grav drive, you must locate Amin Kazemi, the chief engineer, in the engineering bay. Assist Kazemi in preparing the grav drive by following these steps:

• On Engineering Control Computer Alpha, divert power from the Turbopump (Port) to the Cryogenic Radiator (Auxiliary).
• On Engineering Control Computer Beta, set the Plasma Run-Off Inhibitor to 5%.
• On Engineering Control Computer Gamma, decouple the Magnetic Flange Pipe Enclosures from the Auxiliary Module Assembly.

Return to Captain Brackenridge in the command bay, where she will express her gratitude for your efforts. She will depart, and you will be able to track the ECS Constant’s location beyond the completion of the quest, allowing you to discover if they find a new settlement.

Make Them Disappear Choice

Choosing the most malevolent option, suggested by Oliver Campbell, involves obliterating the ECS Constant. To execute this choice, you must overload the reactor on board the ship. Follow these steps:

• Pickpocket the chief engineer in the engineering section of the ship to obtain his key.
• Locate the terminal to the left of the entrance to the engineering bay.
• Select “Emergency Reactor Overdrive” and confirm the request.
• Proceed to the command center, where you previously conversed with Captain Brackenridge. Hack past the advanced lock on her computer.
• Select “Urgent Actions” and confirm the reactor overdrive.

Be prepared for a hostile response from the crew once the reactor overloads. If you manage to return to your ship and undock in time, the ECS Constant will explode, and you will be rewarded with 6,500 credits for your actions.

Conclusion

Regardless of the choice you make, your involvement in the “First Contact” quest concludes. However, there is still an abundance of activities and exploration awaiting you in Paradiso.
