The expansive Starfield Galaxy presents a staggering expanse, harboring an excess of one thousand planets and moons awaiting exploration within this dynamic action RPG. Throughout your odyssey, you’ll command your personal spacecraft, voyaging between solar systems to discover novel and unfamiliar planetary realms. While the developers have verified that a substantial majority of planets will remain devoid of life (approximately 90%), a minimum of 100 planets will showcase distinctive alien ecosystems, both flora and fauna. All celestial bodies will proffer diverse resources to exploit, accompanied by distinctive attributes such as diminished gravitational pull, heightened density, radiation, and other elemental traits.
Gamers possess the freedom to alight upon any terrain of a planet or moon, with the added option to conduct orbital scans unveiling distinctive features and resource hubs. Regardless of your chosen landing site, points of intrigue are strategically positioned within walking distance from your touchdown location, providing opportunities for exploration, encompassing caves, mining installations, scientific platforms, and more. Select planets even encompass exclusive quests or specialized missions that merit thorough investigation.
Every solar system consists of an arrangement of planets encircling a central sun, each planet harboring the potential to host one or multiple moons, these celestial bodies likewise holding the potential for alien lifeforms and valuable resources. By default, numerous planets derive their nomenclature from the system they inhabit. As an illustration, within the Porrima System, you find designations like Porima 1, Porima 2, Porima 3, and so forth. Any appellation suffixed with a letter designates one of the moons accompanying that specific planet. As an example, Porrima 1-C designates the third moon of the primary planet within the Porrima System.
Yet, there are instances wherein certain pivotal planets are labeled differently from their originating system. An exemplar of this phenomenon is our own Sol System, which encompasses appellations like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and others.
