In Starfield, Manipulation is a skill in the Social category. By levelling up this skill, players can make NPCs obey their commands for a time, allowing them to essentially be used as temporary companions. As a Master-tier skill, players will need to invest 12 skill points in Social skills before it can be unlocked. Later ranks are locked behind challenges.
