The Starfield Animated Anthology series returns, this time providing a bit more lore on the Terran Armada. We see its robot soldiers boarding a luxury ship and going on a tear, brutally murdering the guests and security. However, flashbacks to tests involving one particular droid are showcased, from its inception to firing at targets.

Admiral Ode Balewa is present throughout, and while seemingly pleased with its progress, another high-ranking officer demands more, pushing the bot to be more brutal. Cut back to the present, where it goes down to a mysterious electric shock. An individual, identified in the description as a “brilliant roboticist”, appears and starts fiddling with the machine’s wiring while it’s deactivated.

Of course, it’s not long before the rest of the robot squad arrives and kidnaps her. But what about the one they abandoned? It may just be Delta, the new companion that players can recruit during the expansion, who’s not quite hostile but also not your friend (at least at the start).

Starfield’s Terran Armada expansion drops tomorrow alongside the new Free Lanes update, which adds several new features (including Model G and Muria as a recruitable companion). It’s also launching on PS5 with the base game costing $49.99. Head here for more details on PS5-exclusive features and how the game performs on PS5 Pro.
