NMS - How to Start new Autophage race mission They Who Returned Mission

To start Autophage They Who Returned Mission you have to:

1. Complete the previous main plot – Echo update and story is a direct continuation of the previous one. We could not find anyone who triggered the new content without completing the earlier content, so it is very likely that it is mandatory to finish it. Fans name missions such as The Purge, Harmonic Seal and A Trace of Metal as necessary to trigger the event.
2. Pilot Sentinel Ship – all players who triggered the event seem to pilot this kind of vessel, so it is probably required.
3. Jump to Korvax system – while it is (probably) not required, many players report that they have triggered the quest in these systems.
4. Try Dissonant systems – another fans’ theory is that it is necessary to visit this system, however many people disagree.
5. It is random – at the end, even if you pass above requirements, the start of the quest is still random. It means that you must jump to various systems and await the Starship alert message.

Edit: according to the newest community findings, it is not necessary to pick any specific system, we left the original news intact for informational purposes though.
