In Starfield, players will find various contraband items, such as Harvested Organs, that can be sold for credits. Acquiring and selling contraband might seem simple, but you'll be branded a criminal if you're caught with it while entering a planet. Here's how you can sell items like Harvested Organs in Starfield.
Where to sell Harvested Organs in Starfield and other Contraband
In Starfield, players will find many contraband items like Harvested Organs, Stolen Artwork, Aurora, and certain illicit goods during their exploration. To sell the Harvested Organs or any other type of contraband, visit the Trade Authority building located on various planets across the galaxy. The best location to do this is The Den in the Wolf System. This is close to the Alpha Centauri System, and it doesn't scan your ship for contraband.
Before entering the orbit of any planet, your spaceship will be checked by the space authorities of different factions such as the UC Security, or Freestar Collective. If you have contraband on the ship, the scanner detects it immediately. Upon detection, you will be forced to pay a bounty and have to give up your illegal items. Just because contraband is illegal, however, doesn't mean you can't smuggle it onto a planet.
How to travel with Harvested Organs and other Contraband in Starfield
Contraband is labeled with a yellow icon and can be stolen from enemy hideouts, outposts, or pirate ships. To smuggle contraband, players need to attach a Scan Jammer or Shielded Cargo to their spaceship. To get Shielded Cargo, visit the vendor Lon Anderssen at The Red Mile located at Porrima 3 (Porrima System).
After speaking to him, you can access the Ship Builder menu, attach Shielded Cargo modules, and Scan Jammers onto your ship. Likewise, players can also purchase Shielded Cargo from Jasmine, a vendor located at the Key Space Station. To buy it from her, you need to join the Crimson Fleet Faction first.
It's worth mentioning that the Shielded Cargo modules do have a specific weight capacity, meaning the contraband you plan to carry should not exceed that limit. Alternatively, you can unlock the Deception skill which will lower the efficiency of scans that are conducted while entering a planet. Once you attach the Shielded Cargo to your spaceship, it will prevent the contraband from being detected by the scanners as you enter a planet.
With the Shielded Cargo and Scan Jammer in place, visit different Trade Authority vendors across the universe. Kolman Lang runs the Trade Authority at Neon on Volii Alpha; visit his shop to sell illegal items. If you want to avoid the risk of getting scanned altogether, then visit The Den on Chthonia in the Wolf System. There are no police authorities waiting to scan your ship thus making it easy to carry your contraband.
