Burden of Proof is a quest in Starfield that players will unlock early on with the Crimson Fleet. It requires them to hunt down evidence of the group's activities so that UC authorities can track down members and arrest them. The problem is that evidence is difficult to find because players get this quest way ahead of when they can find the evidence. This guide explains how to find the evidence needed for Burden of Proof and what players need to do to get to it. Related: Starfield Complete Guide – Quest, Lore, Story & Trailers All Burden of Proof Evidence Locations in Starfield There are a few pieces of evidence that players need to turn in for the Burden of Proof quest in Starfield. Below, I've outlined how to find each one so players can gather them as they explore and try to smash the quest out quickly should they want to. ***This guide is in progress and will be updated with more pieces of evidence as we locate them in Starfield.*** How to Find the Evidence in the Deep Cover Mission in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur When players first start the Burden of Proof quest, they'll need to be initiated into the Crimson Fleet. To do this, they must meet an NPC in a bar on Cydonia called Kemp. Before even speaking to him, players can pick up a Slate of evidence from behind him on the table. This is an incredibly easy piece of evidence to get right as the quest starts. How to Find the Two Pieces of Evidence in Echoes of the Past in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur The evidence players need to acquire to complete the Burden of Proof quest in Starfield is located in a locker in the Lock prison facility. Players will visit this area as part of the Echoes of the Past mission for the Crimson Fleet while undercover for the UC. After unlocking all the cells to find everything available in the Echoes of the Past mission, players will come across a small shower block in the left-hand side of the prison. There's a locker here that players must use a Digipick to get into that contains a Slate called Carter's Gig (Evidence). Screenshot by Gamepur There's a second piece of evidence that can be found during the Echoes of the Past mission that can be found in the Warden's Office. This is a log from the Warden on a Slate that players can pick up from the desk in the room while they're unlocking cells to progress further. After picking this item up, the Burden of Proof quest will update, asking players to return it to the UC Vigilance. Once they've launched off-world in the Echoes of the Past quest, they can travel straight to the UC Vigilance to deliver the evidence. Screenshot by Gamepur I felt I was a bit hasty in flying to the UC Vigilance before completing Echoes of the Past. This meant that I accidentally took a Crimson Fleet companion across five or so systems directly into one of the UC fleet's biggest and most important ships. However, he didn't seem that bothered that a supposed pirate recruit took him there, and the UC didn't even glance his way. All he cared about was having a drink. After handing in each piece of evidence, players will still have the Burden of Proof quest in their quest log. This indicates that they need to find more evidence and turn it in for the UC authorities to use against the Crimson Fleet. How to Find Voss' Parts, Jasmine Durand's Parts List, and Mirra's Demise Evidence in the Key in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur There are three pieces of Evidence on the Key, the home of the Crimson Fleet, for the Burden of Proof quest in Starfield. The first is a Slate next to Delgado's personal computer. The computer is in Delgado's command center, which is on the upper level within the main command center room where players meet him for the first time. Players need to climb the stairs to the upper level and enter the room there. Inside, they'll see a computer on the left-hand side. This is Delgado's personal computer and contains some interesting files on his motivations for heading down to Lock early in the Crimson Fleet quest line. The evidence for the Burden of Proof mission is to the left of Delgado's computer. It's on a stand above the monitoring station, flashing green to grab the player's attention. This piece of evidence is called Voss' Parts (Evidence) and is a list of things a character needed at one point in time. Once players pick up the list, the Burden of Proof quest will update to have players deliver it right away, but I recommend getting one more piece of evidence before heading out. Screenshot by Gamepur The second piece of evidence players can find for the Burden of Proof quest in the Key in Starfield is in Jasmine Durand's office. This location is close to where players first meet her during the opening quest for the Crimson Fleet when she was fixing a door. She runs the ship services desk for the Key, and is where players outfit their ships and buy new ones, close to the entrance of the main Key atrium. The evidence is to the right of Jasmine Durand's computer. The Slate blends in with all the parts here, so it's easy to miss, but it'll flash up with the "(evidence)" tag when players hover over it. This is Jasmine Durand's Parts List, and it's an audio file in which she speaks about how the UC is helping keep the Key afloat. Screenshot by Gamepur The third piece of evidence players can find in the Key is located in one of the crew bunks. To find it, players need to enter the Bunks area of the Key, turn left, and look for the cabin with a deadlifting setup inside. The Mirra's Demise Evidence is located on the table next to the bed. How to Find the Two Pieces of Evidence on the Trident Starliner, Siren of the Stars, in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur After completing the first stage of the Echoes of the Past mission, players will be directed by both the Crimson Fleet and the UC authorities to a Trident Starliner called Siren of the Stars. There are two pieces of evidence for the Burden of Proof quest that players can acquire here, and they're easily missed. The Starliner is where the Earth Savior Award is being held, which the Crimson Fleet wants, but the real goal of this part of the quest is information. For the most part, players just need to follow the quest's main objectives in this quest. Screenshot by Gamepur Once players enter the ballroom of the Siren of the Stars, they can head off to find the first piece of evidence in this location. They need to head back into the crew quarters of the ship and find the Captain's Room. This is the fanciest room with a big bed with red sheets on. The evidence, which is a Slate, can be found on the shelves to the left-hand side of the bed. It's also possible to speak to the Chief Purser and persuade them to tell the character about this evidence. I failed this persuasion check but still managed to find the evidence since Rokov gives players access to all areas of the ship. Screenshot by Gamepur The second piece of evidence comes from a character, Gabriel Vera. Players must follow the main objectives, speaking to three people in the ballroom to get dirt on Dumbrosky, then find Rokov and work with him to trigger a life support failure. Once this has been done, players can enter every cabin on the ship, not just Dumbrosky's. At this point, players need to head to Gabriel Vera's room and confront him. It's possible to persuade him to hand over the evidence needed for the Burden of Proof quest, but I had to pay him 2,500 Credits to get it. The item players get is called GalBank Plan (Evidence). After taking both pieces of evidence, players are free to do whatever they want to finish the mission. I don't recommend even trying to kill Dumbrosky because I was slammed by security as soon as I did, and even loading a save file from just before our attack resulted in a bug where security hounded us regardless. How to Find the Evidence in The Best There Is Quest in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur As players progress through the Crimson Fleet storyline, they'll begin The Best There Is, a quest that takes them to a secret UC security base. After meeting Huan Daiyu, the contact that will get them into the secret base, in the Well, players can find a piece of evidence in Kay's House. This is a nearby restaurant that's open for players to enter. The Slate is located in Kay's House's kitchen, so players need to go down the stairs from where they were when speaking with Huan and then back into the restaurant. The kitchen is behind the gross dangling plastic. The Slate itself is on a counter next to a freezer. Screenshot by Gamepur The second piece of evidence players can find during The Best There Is can be found on the secret UC space station where players are searching for the ComSpike. It's in the room behind Dr. Vogel's lab, which is where all players will need to head as part of the mission. The evidence is on a trolly to the right of the computer stations in the room. The best way to get it is to sneakily take a UC Pilot outfit from the nearby locker room so that Dr. Vogel won't question why the player is there. Then, they can proceed with the conversation with Dr. Vogel to progress, and grab the piece of evidence from the back room before they move on. How to Find the Evidence in the Doctor's Orders Quest in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur While exploring the Key, players will encounter various characters, some of which will offer side quests to complete. Doctor's Orders can be acquired by speaking to the Key's main healthcare and illegal drugs provider in the Clinic. This quest takes players to a starship called The Clinic, a top-of-the-line facility where deadly pathogens from around the galaxy are studied. Players need to get the supplies the Key needs from a doctor there. In the process, they can pick up a piece of evidence from Gennady Ayton's office, high up on a stack of medical equipment. How to Find the Evidence in the Reclaiming the Past Quest in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur Players can pick up the Reclaiming the Past quest from Bog in the Crimson Fleet's hangout, The Key. It tasks players with heading to a level 65 part of the universe and taking down a group of Ecliptic mercenaries. This is extremely difficult, and we had to go and level up by completing a few quests for several hours before we were ready to do it. The piece of evidence, Message for Bog, is in the case in the Ecliptic base. This is where the quest's main goal, a ring, is also kept, so it's pretty hard for players to miss. Just to be safe, it's worth double-checking the case and maybe just taking every item so that there's no way this evidence gets missed after completing the quest. How to Find the Evidence in Red Mile in Starfield Players can find a piece of evidence for the Burden of Proof quest in Starfield in Red Mile. It's sat on the left-hand side of the bar. This one seems very out of place because there's no real reason to look for evidence here. I visited the location while completing a quest I'd picked up when helping out SSNN for the A Light in the Darkness Quest. This piece of evidence is a conversation between a Crimson Fleet member and an Ecliptic mercenary. The pirate is attempting to convince the mercenary to buy boxes of Chunks from them before it became the main source of food around the galaxy. How to Find the Evidence in Hopetown in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur A piece of evidence for the Burden of Proof quest lies in Hopetown in the Voli system in Starfield. Once players have landed, they need to enter The Pit Stop bar, which is located right next to the spaceport. Inside, on the right-hand side of the bar, players will find the piece of evidence they need for this quest. This piece is called Hopetown raid, and is an account of the preparation Crimson Fleet pirates made before raiding the area. How to Find the Evidence in Euphorika in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur To find the evidence for Burden of Proof in Starfield in the Eurphorika club, players must head to Neon and visit the club while exploring Neon. It's out in Ebbside, through one of the side doors from the Neon Core. Once inside, players will need to spend 5,000 Credits to get the Euphorika Member's Club Pass so they can enter the Member's Club Lounge. The evidence is inside the Member's Lounge, on the back of the bar. This is also where players can buy Aurora, should they need it for anything else. How to Start Burden of Proof in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur To start the Burden of Proof quest in Starfield, players need to follow the second mission they get from the Vanguard after joining the faction, Deep Cover. This sees them link up with the UC authorities and infiltrate the Crimson Fleet. Burden of Proof will be added to the player's quest log after getting all the information they need from the UC Vanguard. How to Start Echoes of the Past in Starfield Screenshot by Gamepur Players will start the Echoes of the Past quest in Starfield once they've proven their worth to their Crimson Fleet contact. This requires them to complete Rook Meets King and hunt down a member who attempted to leave the group and kill them. Since the player is undercover for this mission, it's possible to spare the ex-Crimson Fleet member by convincing their captain that they need to turn them in to UC authorities. Whether players kill the ex-member or not, they'll be invited to the Key where they can meet up with and attempt to join the Crimson Fleet.
