Mastering Crew Recruitment in Citizen Sleeper 2

Initial Crew:
Serafin and Bliss are automatically added to your crew and are not associated with any achievements. Note that Serafin is generally unavailable for Contracts.
Recruiting Juni:
Juni is initially a temporary crew member encountered on Hexport. Permanent recruitment occurs after completing the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records. A cutscene will trigger, followed by a contract. Agree to let Juni rejoin your ship.
Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.
Recruiting Yu-Jin:
Find Yu-Jin on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia’s Gyre (select "Order a Wrack" four times; costs 16 Cryo). Complete the subsequent contract to recruit him permanently.
Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.
Recruiting Luis:
During the "Aphelion Beacon" contract, choosing to leave Yu-Jin behind allows you to recruit Luis.
Recruiting Luis unlocks the "Signalchaser" achievement.
Recruiting 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 tasks at Stripline Express, triggering a cutscene. Travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet.
Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.
Recruiting Femi or Nia:
You can recruit either Femi or Nia, but not both. You initially meet Nia on Hexport, encountering Femi there as well. A later encounter with Femi on Floatsam leads to a contract ensuring Nia's safety. Upon completion, choose between Femi and Nia.
Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement. Recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.
Recruiting Flint:
After your first visit to Olivera, a contract leads to investigating Flint's disappearance. This involves a subsequent contract requiring quick action to set a trap. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and successfully complete the contract to recruit him.
Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
This completes the guide on recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
