Starfield Cheyenne guide – all planets and moons

The Starfield Cheyenne is home to Akila City and arguably the biggest centre of population outside of Jemison and New Atlantis. It plays a big role in the Starfield story and is the stage for many of the optional faction side quests associated with the Freestar Collective, the dominant faction in the system.

We’ll cover everything you need to know about the system, including all the planets and moons. If you’re just beginning your Starfield adventure, be sure to read our Starfield tips and tricks guide along with our quest list, the best Starfield reactor, the best Starfield spacesuits, and where to get Digipicks.

Starfield Cheyenne planets

The Starfield Cheynne star system consists of 9 planets and 26 moons. It’s run and occupied by the Freestar Collective faction, a group seeking independence from the United Colonies that value the sanctity of personal freedom and fill the space cowboy aesthetic nicely.
