The galaxy of Starfield is immense. Not only does it feature lengthy quest lines for every major faction, but players can also happen across seemingly random encounters that start significant quests of their own. One such mission is "Groundpounder," which can start as a random meeting with another ship in space. This quest can be intense if players come across it during the early stages of Starfield, but a character who only just reached Alpha Centauri should be able to take this mission on. The trickiest part is figuring out where and how to get started.
