Akila City is the western-themed home of the Freestar collective and can be found on Planet Akila. If you fancy yourself a space cowboy and are looking for a somewhat classical theme, Starfield Akila City is the place you should visit.
In this guide, we’ll go over how to get to Akila City in Starfield, including its system and exact location. We’ll also review what you can do in this city once you’re here.
Starfield Akila City location
Akila City is the main capital of the Freestar Collective and the central hub of Freestar Rangers, basically the marshals of this area. Akila City is, as the name suggests, on the planet Akila in Starfield. The planet Akila itself is within the Cheyenne system.
To get to Akila City, you’ll first need to travel to the Cheyenne system and then Akila City, open your star map, then look north of the Olympus system. Find the star system and then use your grav drive to travel to the Cheyenne System. Once you’re there, open your star map again to locate Akila planet. It can be found towards the bottom right of the sun. Travel to the planet, scan it, and land near Akila City.
You will also come to Akila City as part of The Empty Nest main story quest with Sam Coe. Solomon Coe, the founder of the Freestar Collective, laid the Akila City foundation. It is one of the two acting interstellar governments in the Settled Systems. To protect the natives from the dreaded Ashta, the city also has a boundary wall.
Should you wish, you can also join the Freestar Rangers while in Akila City by completing the Deputized quest.
What to do in Akila City in Starfield
Like all cities in Starfield, Akila City offers plenty of opportunities to explore, loot, and complete different side activities. Here is a list of things you can do once you arrive at Akila City.
Buy a house
Akila City is one of the few places in Starfield to buy a house. You can purchase two properties here: the Core Manor and the Stretch Apartment. Core Manor is located near the Rock. Once you reach its premises, talk to Ngodup Tate, who’ll sell it for 78,00 credits. The Stretch Apartment is located in the main city area and can be bought for 45,000 credits from Ngodup Tate.
Recruit companions
In Akila City, you can recruit several companions, including Ezekiel, found in Aggie’s bar in the main city area. He’s an expert at ship shields, so having him as a permanent member of your crew is well worth it.
You can also find three hirable companions in Akila City, including Rosie Tannehill and Omari Hassan, found in The Old Hitching Post, and Lyle Brewer in the same location as Ezekiel, Aggie’s bar.
Complete side quests
You can complete several side quests in Akila City. The city has nine side quests; completing them will net you various rewards. We recommend completing ‘Leader of the Pack’ as it gives you a legendary rifle and ‘Charity of the Wolf’, which gives you a new outfit and a free spaceship. To unlock Leader of the Pack, you must first complete ‘False Positives’.
Pay off your bounty
If you have a bounty on your head, you can pay it off when you’re in Akila City. To do this, you need to locate the bounty kiosk on the planet. The Bounty Kiosk is found inside the Old Hitching Post. Once you’re in, explore until you locate it. It is located right next to a mission board.
Locate the Trade Authority kiosk
If you wish to sell contraband or illegal items to earn extra credits, you can locate the Trade Authority Kiosk in Akila City. When you land, go straight into the city gates while watching your left until you enter the kiosk. It will be outside a small shop. A Trade Authority shop is also present in the area, near Gallbank.
Visit the different vendors
Finally, you can visit the multitude of vendors the city offers, including doctors, ship technicians, Trade Authority shops, and more. Each planet has valuable ship parts and resources you should seek out, and Akila City is no different.
