Who are the Starfield Spacers? There's one simple way of answering this question if you're familiar with the Fallout games, and that's by saying they're somewhat akin to bandits in the wasteland. Of course, there's more to it than that when you dive deep, which we shall explain.
Much like Starfield House Varuun, Spacers are another one of the Starfield factions, albeit a 'minor' one. What this means is that while the size of the faction may be big, the Spacers aren't a group you can join as part of the main quest, and there won't be lengthy quests coming from them. As far as we can tell, 'Spacer' may well be short for 'Spacefarer', which refers to a lot of the people you'll encounter in space.
