In Stellar Multitudes
What does the quest In Stellar Multitudes give? The Atlantid Drive for your starship and the Resonance Matrix for your freighter: the drives that pass the dissonant space around purple stars. Across its 3 parts it also hands over the Memories of Atlantid, a Reality Anchor, and the Anomalous Scaffold.
How it starts
The quest opens while you fly your starship in space, once you have finished The Atlas Path and They Who Returned, the quest of the Autophage.
The steps
Each part is one entry of the log, and the next opens when it ends. The table gives every step as the log names it, with the hint the game shows under it, and on a part's last step everything that part gives along the way, side conversations included.

What the items do
Everything the quest hands over, with the description the game gives it.
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
Memories of Atlantid | The howling of an advanced intelligence banished to oblivion, a reverberation in sentience and crystal. |
Atlantid Drive | Sideloads a resonant memory packet into your warp computer, allowing the ship to pass through the dissonant space surrounding purple stellar bodies. |
Resonance Matrix | Sideloads a resonant memory packet into your warp computer, allowing the ship to pass through the dissonant space surrounding purple stellar bodies. |
Reality Anchor | A ancient newborn star exists only at the strange intersection points of time and space, where the dissonance is strongest. |
Anomalous Scaffold | To bridge between realities requires a scaffold and a seed. |
The other way to the drives
The Atlantid Drive is also a blueprint of the Space Anomaly, and the Resonance Matrix a Capital Ship Research blueprint. Where the drives stand among the other modules is in the starship modules and freighter technology guides.
