Background Checks is one of the most difficult faction missions in Starfield as you need to infiltrate your own company, Ryujin Industries.
Background Checks is a unique faction mission for Ryujin Industries in Starfield. The technological powerhouse that rules over the business world of Volii Star System, is not short of competition. This time around, the stakes are even higher as the discord comes from within the company. You will go against your people to sniff out a mole that has infiltrated your ranks.
After completing Top Secrets, you need to visit Dalton Fiennes to proceed with the Ryujin Industries questline. Head up to the Executive Floor of Ryujin Industries in Neon City on Alpha Volii in the Volii Star System. He will be in his office, left of the elevator. Talk to him to get the details of your assignment.How to complete Background Checks in Starfield
Background Checks start with Dalton sharing that Ryujin’s files have been leaked to their competitor. An internal audit is being done and they suspect Ularu Chen for being the mole.
Since she is an executive, you can’t access her files directly. You need to go off the record and upload a scanning program on her personal computer to confirm if she is the one responsible or not.
While carrying out the Background Checks mission, you will be considered a trespasser on Ryujin Industries property. He will not let you go without any help though.
Dalton will give you the Arboron Novablast Disruptor, a weapon that can non-lethally take down guards. He then directs you to Nyx who will have your program ready and advises you to carry out the mission in stealth.Find Nyx
You will find Nyx at Madame Sauvage’s Place, as mentioned by Dalton. Head back down from Ryujin Tower to Spaceport Terminal.
Head down the alley between Mining League and the Terminal’s elevator. Enter Ebbside and you will find Madame Sauvage’s Place next to the entrance. Nyx will be inside next to the computer on the right.
He won’t hand over the program for free so you will have to either pay him or do him a favor.Best choice: Should you pay, persuade, or do Nyx a favor?
The best way to deal with Nyx during the Background Check quest in Starfield is to do him a favor and not complete it.
He asks you to upload a program on Camden Cho’s computer on your way to Ularu’s. If you want you can take a couple of extra minutes to do it but not completing it does not have any effect on the rewards and future quests. Essentially, making the program free.
You can also pay him 2500 Credits but we recommend to persuade him to drop the price to 1000 Credits.
If paying is out of the option, you can do him a favor.
