The Terran Armada expansion for Starfield keeps on delivering. Beyond the new questline and enemy faction, the DLC quietly expanded one of the game's most satisfying systems: crew recruitment. Three new crewmates are now available to bring aboard your ship, each tied to a different point in the expansion's story.
Here's the lowdown on all three, including the one players have been asking about for years.
Why these recruits matter to your playthrough
Crew members in Starfield aren't just decorative. Each one brings a distinct skill set that can buff your ship stats, outpost production, or combat effectiveness depending on where you assign them. The Terran Armada additions follow that same pattern, and two of the three are story-locked, meaning you'll encounter them naturally as the DLC missions unfold.
You'll want to be at least level 35-40 before diving into Terran Armada content. The enemies hit hard, and going in underprepared will make the story missions a slog.

The section below contains minor story spoilers for the Terran Armada DLC questline.
Delta: the robot that fights its own creators
Delta is the first new recruit you'll encounter, and the setup is genuinely interesting. Despite being a Terran Armada robot by design, Delta was actually built to oppose the faction, not serve it. That tension plays out across the DLC's early missions.
Recruiting Delta is straightforward. Start the Terran Armada DLC and complete the second quest, "Lost Luxury." During that mission, you locate and reboot Delta, at which point the bot joins your party automatically. No extra steps, no credits required.
Roxanne Bourreau: the scientist behind the bot
Roxanne Bourreau is Delta's creator, and her recruitment follows directly from the robot's story. You first hear about her through Delta's dialogue, but she doesn't appear until the third mission, "Into The Void."
That quest takes you to a Terran Armada-controlled mining station, where you discover Roxanne has been held captive. After convincing her you're not affiliated with the Terrans, she joins your party to help take down the station. There's a catch, though: Roxanne gets held at Anchor Point for a stretch of the story, making her temporarily unavailable as a crew assignment. Once the relevant story beats resolve, she's yours to deploy freely.

Muria Siarkiewicz: the one players have wanted forever
This is the recruit that has the Starfield community talking. Muria Siarkiewicz, the endlessly quotable NPC who sits in the New Atlantis Galbank lobby on Jemison, has been a fan favorite since the base game launched. Players spent years speculating about whether she could ever be recruited. The answer, until now, was no.
Terran Armada finally makes it happen, though it costs you. The process:
- Travel to New Atlantis and head to the ship dock
- Take the train to the Commercial District
- Enter the large green Galbank building
- Find Muria sitting on a bench in the lobby
- Speak with her to learn she's interviewing for a job at Galbank
- Sit nearby and wait approximately 5-6 in-game hours
- Talk to her again, ask about the interview, and extend the crew invite
The recruitment costs 15,000 Credits. That's a meaningful sum at lower levels, but for longtime players who've been waiting to bring Muria aboard, it's a reasonable ask. Once she's on your crew, she can be assigned to your ship, outpost, or kept as a companion through the standard crew menu.
What this adds to the Terran Armada package
Three recruits across a single DLC is a solid haul, especially when one of them resolves a years-old community request. The key here is that Bethesda tied the new crewmates directly into the story rather than dropping them as optional side content, which means players engaging with the main Terran Armada questline will encounter Delta and Roxanne organically.
Muria is the outlier, and deliberately so. Her recruitment is entirely optional, slightly hidden, and costs real in-game currency. That's by design for a character who's been a background fixture for so long.
