Starfield UC Vanguard faction: How to join, missions & rewards
Bethesda Game StudiosStarfield is a full-scale RPG and just like every other Bethesda title, this one also has the concept of factions. The United Colonies Vanguard, also known as UC Vanguard is one of the major factions, and here is a guide on what to do with them.
Starfield is a massive game and there is a lot more to do than simply completing the main story. As a player, you need to live in the game to make your way through the cosmos. This includes buying a house, upgrading your ship, making connections with people, and above all earning credits.
All of this can be done if you join a faction where you can perform tasks and cover some of the aforementioned activities. The UC Vanguard is one such faction that you can join and undertake missions for them.
A guide on how to do this and what you get in return has been presented in the following sections.

Joining UC Vanguard is quite easy within the game. In fact, you can do this as soon as you reach New Atlantis. The steps you need to follow in order to join UC Vanguard are provided below:
- Reach New Atlantis.
- Perform your initial activities.
- Go to the MAST building (you will go there as part of the main story alongside Sarah Morgan).
- Talk to Commander Tuala.
- Accept his proposal to join the UC Vanguard.
- Undertake the examination.
- Clear the exam, and talk to Commander Tuala once again.
- Swear the oath.
Once you swear the oath, you are officially a member of UC Vanguard. Once this is done, Commander Tuala will assign you a probation mission claiming it to be an easy one (or so he thought). Now, it is important to mention that you can join the UC Vanguard later as well.
However, joining it early will earn you some easy credits that you will be craving for in the early game. Apart from that, you will be able to gain the opportunity to buy a house in New Atlantis through this.
