Starfield - Should You Give Naeva the ES Award

You will be prompted to choose between giving Naeva the ES Award or keeping it during the Breaking the Bank quest in Starfield. Learn about all the available choices, the consequences of each choice, and which choice is best!

All Breaking the Bank Choices and Consequences

Rokov Asks About the ES Award

Starfield - Evgeny Rokov

Choice Consequences
Nope, that's the only reason I'm here. Rokov has his suspicions, but lets it go. Credit reward from Naeva will be 6000 Credits.
Naeva asked me to steal the Earth Savior Award. Rokov asks for his cut. Credit reward from Naeva will be 3000 Credits

Upon reaching the Siren Of The Stars, Evgeny Rokov will greet you as he's also part of the Fleet. During your conversation, he will ask if your only purpose is to meet Dumbrosky, or if you have an ulterior motive.

Your dialogue choice will affect your quest rewards later on, despite not being obvious during your conversation.

Give or Keep the ES Award

Starfield - Naeva

Choice Consequences
[Give Award] Here you go. You hand over the ES Award to Naeva. She will give you EXP, and a Credit reward, on top of your cut depending on your choice with Rokov.
[Lie] I couldn't find it. You keep the ES Award which can sell for 9000 Credits, but Naeva does not give you any quest rewards.

Once you return to The Key, Naeva will ask to speak with you in private, where you can choose between giving her the ES Award, or keeping it for yourself.

This choice greatly affects the quest reward, but does not appear to have lasting consequences outside of the quest.

Breaking the Bank

Should You Give Naeva the ES Award?

Lie to Rokov, and Give the ES Award For Best Rewards

Lying to Rokov at the start and giving Naeva the ES Award will grant the highest possible credit reward during this quest. It gives you 6000 Credits, plus the Quest Credit Reward which scales to your player level.

The alternative is keeping the Award, which results in Naeva not giving you any quest rewards. If you keep the ES Award, the way to earn credits from it is by selling it for 9000 Credits, which is significantly lower than Naeva's total reward.
