Starfield Character Background: Every Religion & Faction Trait Explained

Creating a character in Starfield lets players take control of virtually any protagonist they can imagine, and a handful of traits can help ground a custom character in the game’s setting. The Settled Systems is expansive, encompassing the dozens of star systems humanity has explored by the year 2330, when Starfield takes place. Six traits in particular can help inform a character’s origins and beliefs – three faction traits and three religion traits. However, the trait descriptions are rather vague, and character creation happens before players have any familiarity with groups like Sanctum Universum or the Freestar Collective.
