Neon in Starfield is a city designed for indulgence and adventure, often compared to a spacefaring version of Vegas. Originally a fishing hub on the aquatic planet of Volii Alpha, it transformed into a pleasure city when a psychotropic fish was discovered.
The city is divided into three main districts: Neon Core, Ebbside, and the Underbelly, each offering unique experiences. Neon Core is the heart of the city, featuring luxurious spots like the Astral Lounge, while Ebbside and the Underbelly offer a grittier atmosphere.
What Star System is Neon in Starfield?
Neon is located in the Volii system and it is accessible at any time after you first reach New Atlantis, so you don't have to wait for the main story to progress to visit. To reach Neon in Starfield, follow these steps:
1. Reach New Atlantis in Starfield to unlock the ability to travel to Neon.
2. Navigate to the Volii system, located to the right of Alpha Centauri, just past the Olympus System.
3. Once in the Volii system, locate the planet Volii Alpha.
4. Use the in-game scan feature to select Neon as your landing point.
First, you will need to make your way to the Volii system, which is situated to the right of Alpha Centauri, just past the Olympus System. The city is located on the planet Volii Alpha. The journey to Neon can be fuel-intensive, but it's possible to jump directly to the Volii system from locations in Alpha Centauri, like Jemison. Once you reach Volii Alpha, you can scan the planet and choose Neon as your landing point.
