Captain Elara Quill
Captain Elara Quill is the game's first fully story-gated commander: she cannot be summoned, purchased, or farmed, and is unlocked progressively as the player advances through the main campaign's chapters. Each chapter that reveals more of her past also unlocks part of her kit, so a player's Elara grows in capability in lockstep with their understanding of the story she anchors. Mechanically she is a premier exploration and reveal specialist; narratively she is the thread that ties the campaign's scattered anomaly mysteries into a single throughline.

Players who complete it receive a single additional codex entry: her last survey log, transmitted from a sector that does not officially exist.”
