Bethesda Studios has introduced numerous innovations alongside the launch of the sci-fi masterpiece, Starfield. One standout feature is undoubtedly New Atlantis, the largest in-game city ever crafted by the studio. Boasting a variety of districts and its own advanced subway system, players will find an abundance of activities and exploration opportunities within the city limits alone. Situated on the planet Jemison, New Atlantis serves as the initial major settlement players are likely to encounter during their journey.
Upon arrival at the impressive Spaceport, players may find it a bit daunting to determine which areas to explore and where to discover the most valuable items and quests. Thankfully, New Atlantis offers a wealth of content and several significant locations that are worth exploring.
Join Constellation
Constellation, the space-exploration guild, comprises a community of inquisitive and highly intellectual individuals dedicated to unraveling the universe's more enigmatic mysteries. The essential starting point for every player entering the city is their central headquarters, known as The Lodge, as it initiates the game's primary storyline.
In addition to receiving a series of extensive quests and their corresponding rewards, players can also secure temporary lodgings here through a conversation with Noele. This grants players a space to rest, recuperate, and store bulky equipment without the burden of exorbitant rental costs.
Join The United Colonies
Not everyone finds the prospect of becoming a citizen of the United Colonies appealing, especially considering the unmistakable authoritarian undertones that persist, despite the numerous mirrored buildings dotting the skyline of New Atlantis. Nevertheless, opting to join the UC can bestow several outstanding advantages upon players, positioning them as integral members of the game's most dominant faction.
Moreover, in addition to the ability to acquire real estate, players will gain access to the United Colonies questline, offering hours of engaging content and an intriguing narrative to immerse themselves in. Successful completion of this questline will also grant them the game's most spacious residence: a penthouse in the residential district of the city.
Visit The Well
Beneath the polished veneer of utopia that defines New Atlantis, a hidden district unveils the stark disparities among certain United Colonies residents. This concealed area harbors various factions, including the Trade Authority and The House of the Enlightened.
Within this covert enclave, players can encounter numerous vendors and access a variety of services, making it a worthwhile destination. Additionally, players have the option to rent a residence in The Well. While it may not rival the opulence of an Orion Tower penthouse, it does come at a considerably more affordable rate. Although this district may initially appear obscure, players can discover it by utilizing the city's various elevators.
Visit The Sanctum Universum
The Sanctum Universum stands as one of the predominant faiths within the Settled Systems, with its central temple situated in New Atlantis. Followers of this serene belief system worship a supreme supernatural being and appear to draw inspiration from a blend of various global religions, particularly Buddhism and Christianity.
Players have the opportunity to align themselves with the Sanctum Universum by selecting the "Raised Universal" trait during character creation. This choice grants them access to distinctive conversational choices and grants them special access to a treasure chest located within the church, situated in the MAST district of the city.
Buy An Apartment
Given that the majority of planets in Starfield are harsh and require the use of Spacesuits for survival, Jemison emerges as one of the most Earth-like settings where players can establish themselves.
Players have the option to obtain multiple properties by engaging in a conversation with Tuala in the MAST district, although United Colonies citizenship will be a prerequisite for such acquisitions. Alternatively, players can opt for temporary lodgings, such as those available at The Lodge, or for those possessing the Kid Stuff character trait, accommodations at their parents' house.
Visit Centaurian Arsenal
Centaurian Arsenal stands as an exceptional armory, offering a catalog of some of the game's finest weaponry. Situated within the Residential District, this high-end weapons emporium presents players with an extensive array of firearms, including notable options like the Marksman's AA-99 and two variations of the Assassin's Calibrated Maelstrom.
Anya Griffon, the store proprietor, is more than willing to provide recommendations based on the player's preferences. Additionally, it's worth noting that she maintains a substantial reserve of credits, ensuring players can sell their valuable weapons without concerns about depleting the vendor's currency.
Visit The Viewport
Nestled in the Spaceport vicinity of the city, this cozy yet inviting tavern serves as an ideal pit stop for bustling spacefarers arriving and departing from the city. Consequently, players have the opportunity to enlist several companions from this establishment.
The bartender, Nyssa, is a passionate mixologist and offers a unique quest to players who engage with her. Likewise, neighboring Jemison Mercantile provides a convenient marketplace for players to make purchases and sales, with the added bonus of an extra quest from the art dealer, Samson Cebrail, for those who engage in conversation.
