The Missed The Mark quest inStarfieldstarts immediately after completing Missed Connections. The previous mission involved tracking down a missing courier and his package. Unfortunately, the courier was found dead, and the data that Reliant Medical needed is now missing.

Helena Strickland believes that one of her employees, Bonifác Maksimov, stole the data and ran off. She tracked his location to the planet Hawley in the Alpha Centauri system. Your next course of action is to fly your ship to Hawley, locate Mr. Maksimov, and get her data back. Could Bonifác really be to blame, or is there someone else involved in this?
