In the vast galaxy of Starfield, Neon is a city that stands out for its unique blend of bright lights, cyberpunk aesthetics, and a sense of lawlessness and mischief. Known for its time-slowing drug, Aurora, and many shopping opportunities, the city has become a must-visit for players, as there is much to do here. The city is bustling with activities, ranging from dubious quests to faction-related undertakings.
Additionally, believe it or not, Neon powers itself through lightning! With a shroud above the city, every lightning strike converts into electricity.
But how do you get there before the main campaign introduces you to this wonderland of vice and glamour? This comprehensive guide walks you through the process step-by-step, explaining how to reach Neon and what to do once you’re there.
Where to Find Neon in Starfield
Neon is situated in the Volii system on the planet Volii Alpha. It’s a relatively short trip, just 22 lightyears away from New Atlantis and Alpha Centauri, your home system. It should take two jumps to reach Volii from Alpha Centauri, but you may have to jump to Olympus first to explore it and connect Volii to Alpha Centauri.
Steps to Locate Neon:
- Open Star Map: Launch the semi-3D star map in the game.
- Locate Alpha Centauri: This is your starting point.
- Move Right: Though space doesn’t have cardinal directions, think of it as moving “southeast but mostly east” (SEE) on the star map.
- Spot Volii System: You’ll come across the Olympus system first; continue a bit further to the right to locate Volii.
- Select Volii Alpha: This is the massive blue planet where Neon City resides. You will see the Colony icon above it.
- Jump to Volii System: This should be a manageable distance from Olympus.
- Land on Volii Alpha: Navigate to Neon City, the only location on this water planet.
