How to find the Deimos Armored Transport

You can find the Deimos Armored Transport orbiting the moon Grissom of the planet Bondar in the Alpha Centauri System. This is the same system as Jemison where New Atlantis is located, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding it. Fast travel over there and you’ll be met with an enemy ship ready to protect the transport. Destroy it, fly within 500 meters of the transport and dock with it.

Looting the Deimos Armored Transport

Once you get on board, you’ll quickly find that the transport has been overrun by Crimson Fleet pirates. In the first section of the ship, you’ll have to make your way through the various rooms, taking out any pirates that stand in your way. Keep an eye out for any chests and loot them when you see them, as there’s plenty of pricey Starfield contraband on board for the taking.

You’ll quickly find that the power is coming on and off, and this is causing the ship’s gravity to play up, forcing you and any enemies to begin floating in zero gravity. If you have any energy or laser weapons, now is the time to use them, as they won’t cause you to float backwards like ballistic weapons do. You’ll have to use this zero gravity to your advantage at points. When you find a broken elevator, open the hatch in the top of it, and float through the open hatch and up the elevator shaft using zero gravity.

Eventually, you will reach an area filled with spinning turbines. You simply have to wait for the power to shut off again, and then proceed past them while they aren’t spinning. Go through here and head over a broken pipe and down the stairs where you’ll find a room with a computer. You can use this to open the door to the storage. Unfortunately this is a dead end, and you’ll have to backtrack now.

Head back to the start of the transport, in the room where the gravity first turned off. The closed door that was being guarded by two pirates is now open, and you can head inside. Wait for the gravity to turn off, and then float up through the gap in the ceiling and you’ll find a series of doors where the cargo is kept.

Get your Digipicks out and lockpick the locked door, and then collect your loot from the various chests. Be aware that you will need to be able to unlock Master locks to unlock this door. As well as the contraband you’ve picked up along the way, you’ll also get yourself a pretty expensive Boutique Liquor box set – not too bad for a day’s looting.

That’s everything you need to know about how to find and loot the Deimos Armored Transport.
