Starfield has four major cities: New Atlantis, Akila, Neon, and The Key. Of these, the last one, The Key, is actually a space station run by the Crimson Fleet that serves as the faction's headquarters.
there are nearly 1,700 planets and moons spread across 120 star systems in Starfield.
Starfield City | Location | Faction |
---|---|---|
New Atlantis | Jemison, Alpha Centauri | United Colonies |
Akila City | Akila, Cheyenne | Freestar Collective |
Neon | Volii Alpha, Vol II | Ryujin Industries |
The Key | Suvorov, Kryx | The Crimson Fleet |
As Starfield's largest metropolis, New Atlantis is Jemison's capital. The city serves as the United Colonies headquarters and is home to people from all other planets and star systems. Since New Atlantis is a key part of the story, players will find it upon completing the first main quest, One Small Step.
Akila City is the capital of planet Akila in the Cheyenne star system, and it's where the Freestar Collective calls home. What makes Akila unique is that it has tall walls surrounding it. This is because the planet is filled with dangerous creatures called Ashta. They look like wolverines and attack any other living forms they come across.
Also known as the "Pleasure City," Neon is the equivalent of Las Vegas in outer space. This vibrant city boasts renowned casinos and bars, providing visitors with a delightful galactic experience. As per Starfield's lore, Neon previously thrived as a fishing hub until influential corporations discovered a unique fish with psychotropic qualities and capitalized on it.
Although not an actual city, The Key is the fourth major settlement in Starfield. It's a space station located near Suvorov in the Kryx star system. What sets The Key apart is that it's home to the Crimson Fleet faction, which makes it a large hub for intergalactic piracy.
