Under A Rebel Star~2024

[.Master Jiren, The Strongest]

Just got this quest, progressed up until I got the forged passport. It didn't specify where to take it, nor did I see any quest objective. It just said, "any regulated star system", so I went back to my starter area since I needed to reset my rep there anyway.

So I did. Quest didn't complete. Went back to the pirate station, quest suddenly gone from my log, not completed. can't trigger it to start again. no idea whats going on. I looked it up and apparently if you don't "disrupt" the correct core, you evidently "denounce" all pirates and become their sworn enemy?

So, my quest seems to have bugged out, am I now just screwed? both my saves updated when I jumped systems so I can't even reload since No Man's Sky only believes in 1 and a half save files at a time.

What did I lose out on from not finishing the quest the correct way? What are the consequences? Is there anything I can do now?

You really do not need to worry, you pretty much cannot ruin anything. You may delay getting something until later, but you have plenty of time, no worries!

had made the same failure but if you go back one of the mechants i think is selling the passport; i brought two becaues one of the pilots who had landed there selled one too....

After you use the passport at any space station, you have to fly your ship out into space and the mission should then complete, though there's nothing in your log to tell you do this. The mission usually stays active in your log until you do it, but if it has disappeared, then I wouldn't worry about it.

The only way to denounce the pirates is to choose the Denounce option at the station terminal and the only consequence for doing this is a single pirate attack the next time you fly into space, plus you unlock the Traitor title.

actually... spoilers (but not really, cos it was on your screens)
after leaving the pirate station the hint (bottom right main HUD) directs you to check the galaxy map, the mission has marked the 'regulated' system that you need to goto, once there you're directed to the space station and further directions to complete the mission

You're right, but it's so long since I did it the proper way, I'd forgotten. If you just teleport to your base instead of flying from the pirate station, you can teleport from there to any station and use the passport. It may be that doing it this way - the improper way - means you then have to fly out of that station to complete the mission, with no hint from the log.
