Warframe Uranus Proxima: The Railjack Region from Jade Shadows: Constellations

Warframe Uranus Proxima: The Railjack Region from Jade Shadows: Constellations

With Update 43: Jade Shadows: Constellations on June 17, 2026, Warframe didn't just add the 65th Warframe. It also brought new Railjack content in Warframe Uranus Proxima. It's widely seen as the most accessible Railjack experience so far, because squads fly borrowed ships. Here's how to unlock the region, how the two missions differ and how to get Sirius and Orion plus their scythes.

๐Ÿš€ What is Warframe Uranus Proxima?

Uranus Proxima is a region of the Railjack star chart with three nodes:

  • Pontis Tower: the hub where you start missions and trade Talents with Hunhow.
  • The Kuva Wytch: one of the two Skirmish missions, level 65 to 70 per the community-run wiki at wiki.warframe.com.
  • Scoria's Angel: the second mission, a mirror image of the first.

The key point: in a squad, you fly Vena's or Ryoku's Railjack, not your own, per the patch notes. Only if you start solo from Pontis Tower can you use your own ship. Per the community wiki, the borrowed ships have rank 10 Intrinsics, plus unlimited Revolite, Ordnance and Dome Charges. If you've avoided Railjack so far, this is a good way in.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ How to unlock the region

Access is tied to the story. First you have to finish the quest Jade Shadows: Constellations, which takes about 30 to 40 minutes per the patch notes. It requires the completed quest Jade Shadows. If you haven't played that one yet, do it first.

Once the quest is done, Uranus Proxima and Pontis Tower are available. You start the missions from Pontis Tower.

โš”๏ธ The two missions: The Kuva Wytch and Scoria's Angel

Both missions tell the same conflict from opposite sides: you help one of the two mentors break into the other's ship. Each mission mixes a Railjack space battle with an assault on foot.

MissionFinal opponentCurrencyScythe
The Kuva WytchVenaEmerald TalentsPride (Sirius)
Scoria's AngelRyokuCrimson TalentsWrath (Orion)

Sirius and Orion components come from both missions. Per the community wiki, every completion guarantees one of seven blueprints at 14.29 percent each: the four Sirius and Orion blueprints or one of the three blueprints for that mission's scythe, meaning Pride from The Kuva Wytch and Wrath from Scoria's Angel. You also get the main blueprint from the quest.

๐Ÿ›ธ How a mission plays out

  • 1. Space phase: You fight the enemy ship's defenses and incoming fighters with the Railjack.
  • 2. Boarding: Your team breaks into the enemy capital ship.
  • 3. Boss fight on foot: Inside, you face the mentor. Per the patch notes, Vena is Garuda's Protoframe and Ryoku is Ash's, and per the community wiki their factions are called Bloodfrenzy (Vena) and Bladeswarm (Ryoku).

Archwings aren't allowed in these missions, per the community wiki.

๐Ÿ’Ž Rewards and the pity system

Each run gives you 12 to 16 Talents per the community wiki, or 18 to 22 on the Steel Path. An Arcane is also guaranteed, with 25 percent each for Primary Compression, Arcane Sculptor, Secondary Cryogenic or Melee Assimilation.

Talents are the pity system: if you're still missing a part after a few runs, you trade for it with Hunhow in Pontis Tower. Per the community wiki, each component blueprint costs 90 Talents and the main blueprint 275, for 545 Talents for the full Sirius and Orion set. Hunhow also sells Pride and Wrath. Even with bad luck, you get there for sure.

๐Ÿ†• What makes Uranus Proxima different

  • Steel Path in Railjack: Per the patch notes, Railjack missions now have a Steel Path version with a reduced modifier of +50 enemy levels instead of +100. More on the mode in our Steel Path beginner's guide.
  • No Railjack investment needed: In a squad, Vena's and Ryoku's borrowed Railjacks do the job.
  • New enemies: Bloodfrenzy and Bladeswarm add to the Codex.

๐Ÿค Recruiting Vena and Ryoku as crew

Per the patch notes, you can recruit Vena and Ryoku as crew for your own Railjack. That takes rank 10 in Command Intrinsics. Don't mix this up with the borrowed ships' crews: per the community wiki, Corsat Devor, Barnacle and Sprigg Khor (Vena's ship in Scoria's Angel) and Orphoron, Piliotzi and Domito (Ryoku's ship in The Kuva Wytch) are the fixed crew of the loaner Railjacks. The wiki doesn't list them as mission rewards.

๐Ÿ” Two hidden Signas

Each mission hides a free Signa in a secret room on the enemy ship. Per the community wiki, you open the Kyzen Signa room in Scoria's Angel with timed targets and the Karotic Signa room in The Kuva Wytch with switches.

๐Ÿ’ก Farming efficiently

If you're after a specific part or scythe, stick to one mission instead of alternating. That way you stack one Talent type faster. Once you've got the mission down, moving to the Steel Path is worth it for the higher Talent payout. The full farming breakdown is in our Uranus Proxima farming guide.

The new Incarnon Genesis adapters from Update 43 (Stug, Vectis, Ballistica, Destreza and Obex) don't come from here, by the way, but from the Steel Path Circuit. How that works is in our Incarnon Genesis guide.
