Quick Links
The Hexport Space Station will be the first location you explore inCitizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. While this is most certainly a smaller port of call, it can still be a little confusing to navigate your first time through. And even though you could absolutely stumble through it, Citizen Sleeper 2 is all about efficiency, so you’ll want to know what you are doing.
This guide will help you identify all the available contracts, show you how to unlock every location, and give you a rundown of all the recruitable crewmates. This information will give you everything you need to leave the Hexport station with a pocket full of Cryo and a fully-staffed ship.
Every Hexport Location And How To Unlock Them
Upon arriving at Hexport, you’ll start with only two locations to explore: theHexport Docksand theHexport Exchange.However, as you spend your dice working your way through these locations, you’ll gradually unlock more places to explore. We’ve provided a detailed breakdown of each below.
Hexport Docks
TheHexport Docksis one of two locations that are initially available (alongside your spacecraft, that is). You’ll unlock a new location with every two points you gain in the “Hexport Connections” objective. The first two points will unlock The Bends, and the next two will unlock The Warehouse.
Chat to crews
Explore the docks
Play Star And Stoker
Buy a “Bends Fry”
Freight Loading
Endure
Once you fill the “Hexport Connections” meter, in the Hexport Docks, you’ll unlock a character event withFemiandNia, which will allow you to recruit Nia (by completing theConway Signal Contract).
Hexport Exchange
TheHexport Exchangeis the other area available from the onset. The first two points in the…objective will open up theHexport Canteen(where you’re able to grab a meal for cheaper than the cost of supplies). The next two points will unlock theHexport Trade Hall.
75 Cryo
Factory Row
Factory Row will become available after you have experienced one cycle at the Hexport Station - used all your dice, returned to the ship, and selected the… option. The primary objective here is to locate the Feed Lines, but the Factory Row district also opens up a money-making method for Intuit and Endure-based character builds.

Every Hexport Crew Member And How To Recruit Them
There are two crew mates available to be recruited in The Hexport Station: Nia and Juni. Detailed instructions on how to acquire these two characters is listed down below.
Acquiring Nia - Part 1
As mentioned in the Hexport Trade Hall section above, you’ll need to fill the “Hexport Connections” meter, in the Hexport Docks, to unlock the event withFemiandNia. Once you’ve done so, locateKarsten’s Supplies, speak to Karsten, he’ll tell you about the job he wants you to do, then, head back to your ship. Talk to Serafin and he will tell you to look into odd jobs, of which only one will be available: theConway Signal Contract.
We’d go into more depth into how to complete the Conway Signal Contract, but this one is pretty easy to do. Even if you fail to disarm the ship and trigger its self-destruct mechanism, you’ll still complete the contract and get paid.
Complete the Conway Signal Contract with Nia on your team - you’ll need two fuel to make the trip.When you are confronted by Femi, pay Nia her share for the job.With that, you’ll be one step closer to acquiring Nia as a permanent crew member. You’ll rrun into her again on the Flotsam Space Station after you have aquired he HazNav ship upgrade.
Acquiring Juni - Part 1
You’ll encounter Juni while acquiring the Feed Lines from Karsten. She’ll force her way onto your team for theSolheim HS22contract. You don’t need to bring her along for the Solheim contract in order to recruit her, but she is an invaluable asset for that mission, so I’d strongly recommend you do. Now, one of two things may happen.
For a complete breakdown on how to maneuver the Solheim HS22 contract, and obtain the core,check out our complete guide here.
If you acquire the core, Juni will want to recover the data. Allow her to do so. Then, when you get back to Hexport, agree to work alongside Juni to get those Feed Lines. You’ll need to either Servail Karsten, or hack his security system. Once you’ve completed the “Karsten Cracked” objective, you’ll be given the Katzen Jammer. Head to Karsten’s shop, use the jammer, and you’ll nab the Feed Lines. Juni will escape Hexport alongside you, and you’ll take the first step in acquiring her as a companion. You’ll finish her recruitment process once you reach The Helion Gate space station.
DoNOTpay for the Feed Lines(unless you are after the achievement). If you do so, you’ll leave Hexport without Juni. Also, you’ll lose the 400 Cryo. Karsten will attempt to backstab you anyway, so there is no need to feel bad about stealing from him.
