What can be found in Starfield's Neon City? In Starfield, Neon is the man-made, spacefaring equivalent of Vegas, except it's surrounded by a sea full of psychedelic fish rather than an arid desert. Still, it's full of bright lights and a melting pot of interesting characters.
Among the many RPG game, so here's everything we know about Neon City, including the locations, factions, and companions you can find while exploring its streets.
Neon city background
Known as the 'pleasure city', Neon originally started out as a fishing hub, when the Xenofresh Corporation built a giant fishing platform on the aquatic planet of Volii Alpha to catch and sell fish. However, one type of fish was soon discovered to have psychotropic properties, so the corporation did the only sensible thing and turned it into a drug called Aurora.
The drug is legal in Neon City, but nowhere else, so people from across the Starfield universe are said to visit Neon to experience its effects as well as enjoy all the other pleasures the city has to offer.
This luxurious city then functions on the tourist trade, and in particular, tourists who are off their bonnet on psychedelics. Of course, lots of tourists means lots of crime and exploitation, and there are a few hints that Neon is one of the most dangerous and corrupt urban areas in the Settled Systems. Even one of the Starfield traits you can choose, Neon Street Rat, says "You grew up on the mean streets of Neon" and increases your crime bounty with any other faction as a result.
Neon city location
Neon City is located in the Volii system on the planet Volii Alpha just to the west of Alpha Centauri and Olympus. Neon is split into three separate districts – Neon Core, Ebbside, and the Underbelly – so while it's certainly a cyberpunk metropolis, it's nowhere near as big as New Atlantis. You can find Volii's spaceport on the outskirts of Neon, as well as a range of businesses that the drug and fish industries that comprise the lifeblood of the city itself.

Neon factions
Neon is home to a number of Starfield's story.
Neon companions
Mickey Caviar is the only Starfield food in the Settled Systems, Mickey is here to provide… for a small fee, of course.
Neon houses
You can purchase two Starfield houses in Neon, though they couldn't be more different. A sleep crate is available to purchase from Izna Sundararamann in Ebbside for just 6,500 Credits and will earn you a claustrophobically small room containing a bed and toilet.
Alternatively, spacefarers seeking something a bit more upmarket may opt for the sky suite instead, a sprawling penthouse that sits above the hustle and bustle of the Astral Lounge. You can purchase it for yourself from Boone Morgan, the Astral Lounge's bartender, for a whopping 235,000 Credits – though you might be able to secure a discount with Starfield persuasion.
