Building your crew is crucial in Citizen Sleeper 2 for tackling contracts and progressing through the game. This guide details how to recruit every crew member. While most recruitment is straightforward—accepting their offers to join—some involve successful contract completion or specific event outcomes. Remember, crew members can be lost through bad rolls or missed opportunities.

How to Get Every Crew Member in Citizen Sleeper 2
How to Get Serafin and Bliss
Serafin and Bliss are your initial crew members. While Serafin remains throughout, he's generally unavailable for contracts. Both are automatically recruited and have no associated achievements.
How to Get Juni
Juni is initially a temporary crew member encountered on Hexport. To recruit Juni permanently, visit 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 crew upon completion. Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.
How to Get Yu-Jin
Find Yu-Jin on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia's Gyre (requires ordering a wrack four times, costing 16 Cryo). This unlocks a contract with Yu-Jin; completing it allows you to permanently recruit him. Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.
How to Get Luis
During the "Aphelion Beacon" contract, choosing to leave Yu-Jin behind opens the opportunity to recruit Luis.
Recruiting Luis unlocks the "Signalchaser" achievement.
How to Get Kadet
Kadet is encountered on Far Spindle after completing the "Spindle Core" clock at the Spindle Core location. This unlocks a new drive and the Stripline Express location. 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.
How to Get Femi & Nia
You can recruit either Femi or Nia, but not both. You'll meet Nia on Hexport, where you'll also encounter Femi. Later, Femi on Floatsam offers a contract to ensure Nia's safety. Completing this contract allows you to choose between them. Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement; recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.
How to Get Flint
After your first visit to Olivera, a contract leads to investigating Flint's disappearance. This culminates in a time-sensitive contract to set a trap for an enemy. Following Xander to rescue Flint and succeeding in the contract allows you to recruit him. Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
This concludes the guide on recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
