Into the Unknown question regarding faction rewards

The 5 part quest, Into the Unknown, gives Fame/Reputation for completing each quest. However, the Adventure says you do not get to slot any boons for for these quests.

Without a faction boon, available on character creation, you shouldn't gain any Fame/Reputation.

For my SFS games, I will be allowing people to gain fame and reputation for their initial Faction.

Is this correct?

So a person completing all 5 quests should receive: 720 credits, 1 XP, 2 Fame/Reputation, Starfinder Insignia, and Hero of the Stars.

Yes, that seems easy enough, and I've done the math. However, the scenario specifally says no boons can be slotted. If no faction boon is in the faction slot, no players receive Fame/Reputation for the quest.

My players will be gaining faction and reputation. I hope that Paizo clears this up.

There is a thread where Thurston officially stated that players get fame/rep for the quests. Not on my computer so can't find it but it is a recent post. May be in GM discussion thread for the quests.

There's no need to update the Faction/Reputation part of the Chronicle, as the preceding text on the boon specifies how to handle allocation of Fame/Reputation. The only thing (addressed in another thread) that was ambiguous, was what on the Chronicle was cumulative.

Official Errata: On page 6, replace the Boon Slots text with the following: "No boon slots, except a Personal boon that grants access to a new playable race, are available for Into the Unknown, but the GM should explain that PCs acquire boons as they play adventures, and this is where they would normally be asked to review and select their boons for this adventure, based on their mission briefing."
