Easter Eggs

This is a compilation page of **Easter eggs** in Starfield. Easter eggs are references to previous works, generally of a similar or related nature. Although many of these seem obvious, they are often not confirmed by developers and may be open to interpretation where they fit into multiple works.

## TV and Films

* A derelict ship : "The Colander" can be found in the Schrodinger System. It is a very creepy and dark ship with plenty of dead bodies, strange sounds, blood, notes... and of course something... else. A very nice nod to the ill fated expedition of the Nostromo from the first *Alien* movie.
* If Sam Coe dies in High Price to Pay, his description will read *"See you, Space Cowboy"*, which appeared at the end of nearly every episode of *Cowboy Bebop*.
* Maurice Lyon will tell you about a large creature that used to knock down huge buildings, and then say that he might be confusing that with an old movie. This description matches the that of *Godzilla*.
* Some posters, seen at Bessel III base (and likely others) show posters entitled "Blue Harvest". This is a potential reference to the working project name for Star Wars: Episode VI.
* The lost and found terminal on Paradiso lists several items that reference multiple movies:
	+ Sapphire heart necklace found on the ocean floor - *Titanic*
	+ Antique digital music player hanging from a tree branch - *Guardians of the Galaxy*
	+ Red and white bicycle left after a film shoot - *Pee-wee's Big Adventure*
	+ Gold ring found in volcanic ash - *Lord of the Rings*

### Star Trek

* Operation Starseed contains numerous references to the *Star Trek* episode Space Seed.
* Doctor Manning will sometimes state "please state the nature of the medical emergency, in the same manner as the Doctor from *Star Trek: Voyager*.
* The in-game description of Tranquilitea Earl Grey, which mentions it being a "favorite among UC Navy captains", is most likely a nod to Captain Picard from *Star Trek: The Next Generation*, whose favorite type of tea is Earl Grey.

## Real World

* The mission UC Wants You! is similar to the United States recruitment posters of early World War Two era, "Uncle Sam Wants You!".
* Robots on Gagarin will remark "A robot shall not harm a parcel, or allow a parcel to come to harm through inaction" a play on Isaac Asimov's laws of robotics in *I Robot*.
* Arachna and its moons Itsy and Bitsy are a play on the nursery rhyme Itsy Bitsy Spider.

### Astronauts

Many of the planets reference astronauts including:

* Yuri Gagarin - Gagarin; directly referenced with a statue on the planet.
* Roberta Bondar - The planet Bondar in the Alpha Centauri system.
* Mae Jemison - The planet Jemison in the Alpha Centauri system.
* Gus Grissom - The moon Grissom orbiting Bondar.
* Robert Curbeam - The moon Curbeam orbiting Bondar.
* John Daniel Olivas - The gas giant Olivas in Alpha Centauri.
* George Zamka - The moon Zamka orbiting Olivas.
* Voss could be a reference to either James or Janice Voss.
* Steven Hawley - The moon Hawley orbiting Olivas.
* Kalpana Chawla - The moon Chawla orbiting Olivas.

## Bethesda Titles

* The Adoring Fan perk is a reference to the Adoring Fan from *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*
* HopeTown's store Best Defence, is likely a nod to the store of the same name in *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*
* The rank 4 icon of the Boxing skill is similar to *Oblivion*'s Hand-to-Hand skill.
* "Arrow to the knee" Reference in the skill tree, in the Crippling skill branch if a well known phrase said by guards in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
* The Lock logs make mention of Delving Mallory, the former Thieves Guild head in this game.
