They’re also the central focus of Starfield: Shattered Space, the game’s first story expansion.

What is Starfield: Shattered Space?

Starfield: Shattered SpaceShattered Space brings Starfield a new zone filled with handcrafted locations and dark mysteries.
It’s a gorgeous DLC, and I couldn’t stop taking pictures throughout my playthrough.
The light on Va’ruun’kai almost appears to bleed, emphasizing how otherworldly this place is.
The expansion’s tone follows through on that otherworldliness, with dark experiments and shady politics permeating the plot.
I married Andreja in the main game, and I definitely benefitted from having her around.
The difference is notable, with some really fun level design that feels meaningful to explore.
Hope you’ve been practicing your zero-G combat skills.
Combined with the plot’s eerie tone, it felt like something straight out ofArkane’scriminally underratedPrey (2017).
Gathering special materials will allow you to craft new Vortex grenades.
All of these options are needed when facing the gnarly Vortex Horrors, a new foe ripping through dimensions.
Your companion (and possible wife) Andreja is from Va’ruun’kai.
These strange monsters live up to their name and caused the majority of my deaths across this DLC.
I do also have to mention the price.
