The decision you made at the end of theUnearthedmission will influence who you meet in the orbit of Masada III.
Depending on who you chose, they’ll side with you for the battles that lay ahead. If you chose neither, you’re going to have to take everyone on on your own. It all starts with a space battle.
3. Defeat the Starborn ships
At least twoStarborn shipswill join the Hunter and/or the Emissary in orbit and you’ll need to defeat them. You may need to upgrade your ship and return, stock up on ship parts to complete important repairs during battle, or obtain a better ship entirely.
Upgrading and purchasing a new ship can be done via a Ship Services Technician, found at space ports on planets such as New Atlantis and Akila City, which is where you can alsoobtain ship parts.
To obtain a better ship without spending any credits, there’s the Mantis side mission where you will be rewarded a legendary spacesuit and ship, Razorleaf.
If you focus on defeating the lesser, but still deadly, Starborn ships fighting alongside the Hunter and/or the Emissary, upon defeat the bigger ship(s) will retreat and land at Masada III where you will meet them later.
4. Land at the Buried Temple

If you focus on defeating Guardian Teutra first as they appear to do the most damage then Guardian Rinn, they will drop an access key that will let you into that room without needing to lockpick.
