With this in mind, let’s look at how to get to The Den in Starfield.

The Den location in Starfield

You can find The Den on Cthonia in the Wolf System, relatively close to Alpha Centauri, where you’ll begin your adventures. Navigate to the main menu and head over to the star map. So, the first step is jumping over to the Wolf System.

Jumping to the Wolf System

If you’re looking at the Alpha Centauri system, you’ll see the Wolf System on the right-hand side, further up than Alpha Centauri but still reasonably close.

If this is your first time traveling to the Wolf System, you might find a small bunch of Crimson Fleet ships that may begin to attack you, depending on your alliance choices. The good news is that they aren’t tough to destroy, even if you haven’t changed your starting ship.

Travel to planet Chthonia

The Den is a space station that orbits the planet Chthonia. Chthonia is the smaller of the two worlds found in the Wolf System. You will notice a small icon next to the earth of Chthonia. This is where you will find The Den, so click on the icon to travel into the planet’s orbit.

Docking on The Den

You will immediately see The Den once you enter Chthonia’s orbit—the single large space station floating around the planet. Approach your ship and click the space station when you’re close enough. You will be given the option to hail the station or dock your ship inside.

You can hail it if you like, but otherwise, press the button prompted to dock your ship. You can then board The Den immediately or manually get up from your pilot’s seat and go to the airlock to walk in.
