Akila City is the fortified, rustic capital of the Freestar Collective, located on the planet Akila in the Cheyenne system. Players arrive here to advance the Constellation storyline, assist local authorities during a bank heist, and join the Freestar Rangers. Beyond faction duties, the city offers numerous local bounties, companion interactions, and shops catering to travelers.

Shops and people

  • Shepherd's General Store: General goods, basic supplies, ammo, and miscellaneous items
  • Rowland Arms: Ballistic firearms, energy weapons, and various ammunition types
  • The Hitching Post: Alcohol, food, beverages, and hiring crew members
  • Chunks: Fast food packaged meal cubes that restore small amounts of health

Tips

  • Walking into Akila City for the first time immediately triggers a bank standoff quest that must be resolved before regular trade and exploration in the central plaza resume.
  • Do not wander far past the outer defensive perimeter walls while unprepared, as packs of hostile native Ashta can quickly overwhelm lower-level players.
