Starfield is a Bethesda title, which means players’ choices have a massive impact on quests and storylines. One such choice that you will get in the game is making a choice between the Crimson Fleet and UC Sysdef. Here is a discussion on whom you should choose.

Starfield as a game is quite deep when it comes to questlines. One simple choice can take you down the road where you will get trapped into one specific route that will take hours and in some cases days to finish.

Such is the consequence of player choice and that is what makes a Bethesda title so immersive in nature. One such quest that will make you feel this way is when you have to choose between Crimson Fleet, the space pirates, and UC Sysdef, the police organization.

A guide on whom you should choose in the game has been provided below.

Crimson Fleet is a better choice than UC Sysdef

Crimson Fleet or UC Sysdef- Whom you should side with in Starfield?

In this war between the two factions, Crimson Fleet is a much more valuable faction to go with in Starfield instead of UC Sysdef. However, you must understand what it means to choose either of them.

If you decide to go with Crimson Fleet then you get access to 250,000 Credits, The Key, and friendly behavior in Crimson Fleet territory. You will raise a few eyebrows, especially among your companions, but you will get a lot of benefits.

The biggest benefit that you must consider is the plethora of shops at The Key. In fact, some of the rarest materials can be found in The Key and your smuggling missions will become infinitely easier once you decide to shake hands with the Crimson Fleet.

If you decide to side with UC Sysdef, then you will get access to 250,000 Credits, and the Vigilance. You will also make your Companions happy, but there will be very few additional advantages with this choice. The Key will become a hostile location and any kind of Contraband mission (which is a good source of loads of credits) will become a nightmare.

Regardless, it is a choice that you will have to make, and if you feel that joining hands with the police force is the right thing to do then there is no harm in that as well. When it comes to rare materials, you can always find them in other shops across the system.
