Starfield Staryards – All Main Ship Manufacturer Locations

Staryards in Starfield are giant space stations orbiting a planet or moon where you can buy ship parts from certain ship manufacturers. Here are all 6 Staryards that can be found in space in Starfield:

• Deimos Staryard
• Nova Galactic Staryard
• Stroud-Eklund Staryard

It’s important to note that, if you want unique ship parts from a particular ship manufacturer, your best bet is to head to one of the above Staryards to purchase it from them directly.

Below we go over the details and locations of each Staryard in Starfield:

Deimos Staryard

The Deimos Staryard is located in the Sol system and orbits the Deimos moon of Mars. Here’s a plotted course from Alpha Centauri to the Sol system in the Starmap:

Deimos Staryard is a great place to purchase ship parts to upgrade your ship early on, as you can access it pretty much from the get-go in Starfield.

Nova Galactic Staryard

The Nova Galactic Staryard is located in the Sol system and orbits the Earth’s moon, Luna.

Unfortunately, you won’t find much here other than dead spacers, as the once bustling headquarters of Nova Galactic has long since been abandoned. You’ll want to head elsewhere for Nova Galatic parts.

Stroud-Eklund Staryard

The Stroud-Eklund Staryard is located in the Narion system, orbiting the Deepala planet. Here’s a plotted course from Alpha Centauri to the Narion system in the Starmap:

Stroud-Eklund is famous for its luxury ships and ship parts. They even have one of the Narwhal, one of the best ships in the game, available for purchase. Just make sure you’ve saved up your credits.

Trident Luxury Lines Staryard

The Trident Luxury Lines Staryard is located in the Cheyenne system, orbiting the Akila planet. Here’s a plotted course from Alpha Centauri to the Cheyenne system in the Starmap:

Despite its appealing title, you’d fare much better looking elsewhere for your ships and ship parts, as the options are a little lacking compared to the other Staryards in this list.

The Den

The Den is located in the Wolf system, orbiting the Chthonia planet. Here’s a plotted course from Alpha Centauri to the Wolf system in the Starmap:

The Trade Authority at the Den is one of the best places to sell contraband in Starfield. It also has a great selection of ships and parts to peruse at your leisure.

The Key

The Key is located in the Kryx system, orbiting the Suvorov planet. Here’s a plotted course from Alpha Centauri to the Kryx system in the Starmap:

The Key is the headquarters of the Crimson Fleet, meaning that you’ll need to be a member of this faction before you are granted access to their base of operations. It’s more than worth it though, as you can get some decent ships, but most importantly, is a place where you can buy shielded Cargo Bays needed for smuggling contraband.
