Following the game’s main storyline? Tackling every side quest in the game? No matter the reason, a trip to Akila City in Starfield offers plenty of opportunities to earn credits and explore the galaxy. Here’s where to find the Freestar Collective’s hub city!
Where is Akila City in Starfield?
To find Akila city, travel to the Cheyenne Star System, east of Narion and west of Kryx, and land on Akila. It’s the primary planetary body in the system. You might notice a handful of procedurally generated points of interest on the planet; these vary per playthrough. I found a few Industrial Outposts to explore in my most recent game but little else.
Let me be the first to tell you that, outside of the city and its immediate surroundings, planet Akila is positively gorgeous. It’s one of my favorite places to construct an outpost in Starfield, as the dense forests and rolling hills make for truly scenic views.
But, for the most part, you’ll likely spend your time within the city’s boundaries. It’s safer that way, of course.
Locations in Akila City
First and foremost, if you’re at all like me, upon walking through the main gate after the starport, the first you probably noticed was The Rock looming over the main street in Akila City. It’s tough to miss. But on either side of you, there are shops and bars to explore and an ongoing bank heist if this is your first time in the frontier city.
Here are the important locations you’ll want to track down:
- Akila City GalBank
- The Rock
- Rowland Arms
- Shepherd’s General Store
- The Hitching Post
- Laredo Firearms
- Midtown Minerals
- Sinclair’s Books
- Trade Authority
- Coe Estate
- Aggie’s
- Honest Earl’s Alien Extravaganza
