Mastering Crew Recruitment in Citizen Sleeper 2
This guide details how to acquire every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2. Remember, while recruitment is usually straightforward (accepting their offer to join), success in Contracts or other events can influence outcomes. You can lose crew members through bad luck or miss opportunities entirely.

Initial Crew:
Serafin and Bliss are automatically added to your crew and are not tied to any achievements. Serafin is generally unavailable for Contracts.
Recruiting Juni:
Juni initially joins temporarily on Hexport. Permanent recruitment occurs at Helion Gate after completing the Idle Minds clock at Solheim Records. Complete the subsequent Contract and accept Juni back onto your ship. This unlocks the Data Archaeologist achievement.
Recruiting Yu-Jin:
Find Yu-Jin on Far Spindle after completing the Getting Wracked clock (four "Order a Wrack" selections at Gaia’s Gyre; 16 Cryo total cost). Complete his Contract to permanently recruit him. This unlocks The Freelancer achievement.
Recruiting Luis:
During the Aphelion Beacon Contract, choosing to leave Yu-Jin behind allows you to recruit Luis instead. This unlocks the Signalchaser achievement.
Recruiting Kadet:
Kadet is encountered on Far Spindle after completing the Spindle Core clock. This unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express. Complete the subsequent events, then travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet. This unlocks The Spindlejack achievement.
Recruiting Femi or Nia:
You can recruit either Femi or Nia, but not both. You'll meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. Complete Femi's Contract to ensure Nia's safety. The final choice determines your recruit (Femi unlocks Big Brother; Nia unlocks Little Sister).
Recruiting Flint:
After your first visit to Olivera, a Contract leads to Flint's rescue. Successfully completing the subsequent Contract (setting a trap and rescuing Flint with Xander) allows you to recruit him. This unlocks the Fugitive achievement.
This completes the guide to recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
