The Starfield Mantis legendary ship and spacesuit can be yours fairly early in the campaign. The enemies and puzzles are quite tough, so make sure you're well-prepared. If you prioritize this mission, you'll have some of the game's best equipment very early into your adventure, which can go a long way to keeping you upright and victorious. Our guide discusses where you can find the Mantis base, as well as the challenges you can expect therein.

How to get the Mantis legendary ship in Starfield

The Starfield Mantis legendary ship is part of its own quest following its namesake. Once you have it, make sure that it's being tracked so the objective marker appears on your map.

How to start the Mantis quest

The Mantis quest comes from a data slate called "Secret Outpost!" usually held by Spacer enemies. In our case, we found it upon looting a Spacer enemy in the Nova Galactic Starstation during a main quest called The Old Neighborhood. Others on the team came across this mission in other ways, though the commonality seems to be Spacer enemies will be the ones to drop the slate.
