Building your crew is key to success in Citizen Sleeper 2, allowing you to tackle a wider range of contracts. This guide details how to recruit every crew member. While recruitment is usually straightforward—accepting their offer to join—some situations require successful contract completion or specific actions. Remember, you can lose crew members through bad luck or missed opportunities.

How to Get Every Crew Member in Citizen Sleeper 2
Recruiting Serafin and Bliss
Serafin and Bliss are your initial crew members. While Serafin remains throughout the game, he's generally unavailable for contracts. Both join automatically and have no associated achievements.
Recruiting Juni
Juni initially joins temporarily on Hexport. To permanently recruit Juni, head to Helion Gate after completing the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records. A cutscene will trigger, followed by a contract. Agree to let Juni rejoin your ship upon completion.
Recruiting Juni unlocks the Data Archaeologist achievement.
Recruiting Yu-Jin
Find Yu-Jin on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia’s Gyre (requires selecting "Order a Wrack" four times, costing 16 Cryo). This unlocks a contract with Yu-Jin; completing it allows you to recruit him permanently.
Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the The Freelancer achievement.
Recruiting Luis
During the Aphelion Beacon contract, choosing to leave Yu-Jin behind opens the opportunity to recruit Luis.
Recruiting Luis unlocks the Signalchaser achievement.
Recruiting Kadet
Meet Kadet on Far Spindle after completing the "Spindle Core" clock at the Spindle Core location. This unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express. Complete the new options at Stripline Express, triggering a cutscene. Finally, travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet.
Recruiting Kadet unlocks the The Spindlejack achievement.
Recruiting Femi & Nia
Recruiting Femi or Nia is a choice; you can only get one. You’ll meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. Femi offers a contract to ensure Nia's safety. Completing this contract lets you choose between Femi and Nia.
Recruiting Femi unlocks the Big Brother achievement. Recruiting Nia unlocks the Little Sister achievement.
Recruiting Flint
After your first visit to Olivera, you'll receive a contract investigating Flint's disappearance. This leads to another contract requiring quick actions to set a trap. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and then recruit him.
Recruiting Flint unlocks the Fugitive achievement.
This concludes the guide on recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
