You can join a total of five main factions in Starfield:
- Constellation (space explorers)
- Crimson Fleet (space pirates)
- Freestar Collective (a union of separatist systems)
- Ryujin Industries (a tech megacorporation)
- United Colonies (a militarized republic)
Yes, you can join all five factions in the same playthrough without being locked out by choosing one over another. The game allows you to be a member of every faction, and joining one does not prevent you from joining the others
. However, some factions are rivals or enemies, so your loyalties might be tested, and certain faction-specific quests may force you to make decisions that affect your standing with others later on
. In addition to these five major factions, there are smaller factions, corporations, and religions you can join or align with, but they are less significant in terms of gameplay
. In summary, you can join all five major factions in Starfield, and the game encourages you to explore all their storylines, but be prepared for potential conflicts as you progress.
