Unlocking Starfield: A Comprehensive Guide to Faction IDs and Backgrounds

Starfield offers an incredible character creation and customization system that allows you to personalize every aspect of your character, from their appearance to their professional background and traits. You can even join factions or find yourself in trouble with them if you happen to commit a crime. If you’re interested in experimenting with console cheats to assign yourself a different background or pay off your bounty with a specific faction, then our Faction and Background ID lists will come in handy.

Below, we have compiled a list of known Faction IDs:

If you want to pay off a bounty, you can use the command player.paycrimegold 0 0 [ID], where [ID] refers to the Faction ID. For example, to pay off your bounty with the Crimson Fleet, you would use the ID 00010B30 (or simply 10B30 without brackets).
