The Far Spindle Space Station will be the second location you explore in Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector. Upon reaching the Far Spindle you’ll see that the Hexport was just getting you warmed up, as the Far Spindle has considerably more going on. There are multiple contracts, new crew members to recruit, and a bunch of drives that’ll score you some easy skill points.

This guide will take you through all of it. That includes showing you how to unlock each location – which should help you locate a suitable job for your class quicker. There’s a lot to cover, but this guide will help you work through all of it.
Every Far Spindle Location And How To Unlock Them
Once you reach the Far Spindle, there’ll be four locations you can visit: the Pinnacle Docks, the Spindle Core, Bless’s Bay, and The Underhang. Of those four, three of them are actual locations, while Bless’s Bay is more a timer than anything else.
Pinnacle Docks
If you head to the top of the Far Spindle, you’ll reach The Pinnacle Docks. This is where you’ll find a couple of jobs (is 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 “Pinnacle Explorer” objective. The first two points will unlock The Spring Tide, the two after that will unlock the Signal Station, and the final two points unlock the Beltborn Venture.
The Spingtide will activate after you earn two points in the Pinnacle Venture. Once it activates, a timer will start. I’m specificall warning you because you may not want to start dumping your dice into this location right way. Check out The Springtide section below for more information on why.

Winning at the Venture Bar will slowly build the Gambler’s Friend meter. Once you have filled that meter, you will still be able to gamble, but a new meter will appear – the Sleeper Suspicion meter. This too will fill as you gamble successfully.
The Springtide
Once you have invested two points into the Pinnacle Venture objective, The Springtide will become available. The moment it does, it will start leaking precious water into the vacuum of space, you want to prevent the loss of water. So, try to activate The Springtride while having four dice left (ideally, you would wait until you have four high rolls at your disposal). After you complete the objective, you will complete the “Secure The Springtide” Drive, and gain a skill point. You’ll also speak to Malik and earn another contract.

The Spindle Core is the other area available from the onset. The first two points in the Spindle Core objective will open up Gaia’s Gyre (which is a good place to recharge energy, and is where you’ll recruit Yu-Jin). The next two points will unlock the Spindle Trade Hall, where you’ll buy fuel and supplies. Completing the Spindle Core objective will unlock the Stripline Express, which is the source of multiple Drives.

Once you’ve completed the Spindle Core objective at the Spindle Core, you’ll unlock the Stripline Express and encounter a curious character named Kadet. After two cycles, Kadet will find you, and as you to retrieve a drive. Once you’ve done so (by either cutting your way in or scoping the security), you’ll run into Kadet again. You’ll give them the drive, and she’ll tell you that she’s going to take it to the Scatteryard. Which is where you’ll need to head for the next part of her recruitment. This will also complete the Help Kadet Drive, scoring you another skill point. You’ll also get three Engine Components.
The Underhang
The Underhang will reward you with another option every two points you invest in The Life Beneath objective. The first two points will get you Nemba’s Kitchen, the two points after that will earn you access to the Spindler’s Edge, and the final two points will unlock the Scrapper Ship.

Completing the Nemba’s Kitchen objective will unlock the “Help Nemba” Drive. In order to complete this Drive, you’ll need to travel off world, go to the Greenbelt space station, and acquire the spores by paying a 40 Cryo fee. Once you have them, just return to Nemba’s Kitchen and deliver the spores. Completing this Drive will score you a skill point as well as another Drive: “Connect Nemba and Aki”. Now, head back to the Greenbelt, give Aki the spores, and ask her to meet Nemba. Agree to bring Nemba to her, then head back to the Spindle.
Partway through this quest, mushrooms will start growing on your ship. You can choose to vent them or keep them.
Every Far Spindle Crew Member And How To Recruit Them
There are two crew mates available to be recruited on The Far Spindle Station: Bliss, and Yu-Jin. Everything you need to know in order to acquire these two new recruits is listed below.
Acquiring Bliss
Recruiting Bliss is easy enough. After four cycles have passed, they’ll offer to join your crew. Just advocate for them and you’ll acquire this talented engineer.
Acquiring Yu-Jin
Getting Yu-Jin will require you to do three things…
- First, you’ll need to drink four Wracks at Gaia’s Gyre
- Next, you’ll need to complete the Hidden Wreck contract
- Finally, once you have completed the Hidden Wreck contract, you’ll need to go easy on Yu-Jin, defend him from Sarafin and welcome him onto your crew.
