Starfield has effectively proven itself to be Bethesda’s most cosmically ambitious IP to date, with a literal galaxy-sized map for players to explore and create their own customized adventures. That map itself is divided up into dozens upon dozens of star systems, with nearly 1,700 planets and moons altogether to travel to. If you’re wondering just how many there actually are, and what each of them has to explore, here is our handy guide to all Star Systems in Starfield.
Every Star System in Starfield (& All Their Planets and Moons)
There are a total of 120 star systems in Starfield, each with their own set of orbiting planets and moons around a much bigger sun. You can view them all anytime on your Star Map in the Character Menu found in the top left corner. The map will automatically set itself to the planet or moon you’re currently on or orbiting, but you can scale out to view the entire galaxy map by pressing ‘TAB’ (keyboard) or ‘B’ (controller).
You can travel to all of the star systems via your own ship technically at any point during character/story progression, but a number of them require multiple grav jumps and may temporarily be out of the range of your ship’s capabilities. The systems can range anywhere from Level 1 to Level 75+, which refers to the level of enemies, human and/or creature, that you’ll find on the habitable planets there.
Traveling to all of the star systems in the game also contributes towards 3 trophies/achievements:
- Stellar Cartography – Visit 20 Star Systems
- The Stars My Destination – Visit all Star Systems
- Boots on the Ground – Land on 100 Planets
Due to the fact that it can be a little tricky to navigate the galaxy map, we’ve chosen to categorize the star systems in a top-down, left-to-right fashion, in terms of how you could view them on the galaxy map from left to right, that way they’re a bit easier to find and keep track of.
We’ve indicated all planets and moons for each system, as well as some notable off-world events and landmarks we’ve come across that can appear within a given system. Keep in mind that some of these events are randomized, and may appear in different places for different players.
Alpha Andraste System (Level 30)
- Major Cities: None
- Number of Planets: 6
- Number of Moons: 1
- Notable Events/Landmarks:
- Upon grav jumping to this system, a ‘Mysterious Ship’ will hail you for an ominous conversation. They claim to know who you are, and the huge, fateful mission you have set out before you – the artifacts. They refuse to elaborate further, and claim they’ll see you again later in your journey before grav jumping away.
Beta Andraste System (Level 20)
- Major Cities: None
- Number of Planets: 1
- Number of Moons: 4
- Notable Events/Landmarks: TBD
Van Maanen’s Star System (Level 10)
- Major Cities: None
- Number of Planets: 1
- Number of Moons: None
- Notable Events/Landmarks:

This is a very difficult fight, and shouldn’t be attempted without an exceptionally strong ship and skilled crew mates (unless you’re beasting it solo).
