House Va’Ruun Questline
The main attraction in the Shattered Space DLC is the story-driven expansion that centers around House Va’Ruun. House Va’Ruun was a largely untapped area of lore in the base game of Starfield and Shattered Space answers many questions players had surrounding the faction. The majority of the new questline takes place on a fresh planet, Va’ruun’kai, which is a moon of Kavnyk I. Players initially explore the sacred city of Dazra but missions in the questline take place on other locations within the planet as well.
Va’ruun’kai is the only new planet players get to explore in Shattered Space, but there’s plenty of depth to keep intrigue alive throughout the questline. Bethesda also stated the entire planet is hand-crafted and not procedurally generated like many other planets in Starfield. The planet itself has over 50 locations to uncover and navigation is much easier now with the addition of the driveable REV-8 vehicle.
Players’ main goal in the House Va’Ruun questline is to piece together what happened to the faction previously and determine its fate. There are several mini-factions within House Va’Ruun that players can interact with in addition to learning about the faction’s god, the Great Serpent. There’s a plethora of lore to discover, choices to make, and quests to undertake.
