Starfield Player Makes Heartbreaking Discovery At Random Outpost

One Starfield player makes a sad and touching discovery as they explore a random outpost on an icy planet within the vast RPG.

When completing a random mission in Starfield, Reddit user kabflash shared a screenshot of their time on a fiery planet that resembles Mustafar from Star Wars. Initially appearing in Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, Mustafar is a lava planet, and it's where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker engage in their epic fight. While the Outpost itself is not from Mustafar, its presentation almost seems like a replica. Note the overflowing presence of lava, the desolate station, and the brooding atmosphere, all captured by kabflash who was merely tending to their mission board.

Despite how unique the lava planet is from the Starfield game, it appears that players are having a difficult time locating it. Starfield is known for featuring barren lands that have been riddled by rough planetary conditions, but it's a rarity to come across a lava planet, let alone one that looks similar to a setting from Star Wars. Even as other users look to see where they can find this planet, kabflash can't recall where they found the area. "I really wish I took note, didn't realize so many people would want to know," he says, responding to a few comments that share the similar goal of locating the fiery planet. He continues by saying, "I'm going to try to find it again," though he admits that it won't be easy.

While some players questioned the location of the lava planet, many shared their Star Wars references. "Alright, I'll be the first to say it.. IT'S OVER ANAKIN, I HAVE THE GROUND!" Wrote one user. "Darth Vader's fortress confirmed," said another.

Starfield has amassed a welcoming community of players who have shared their interstellar adventures for good or ill. It's become an ideal home for creative players to craft famous spaceships from Star Wars, including the Millennium Falcon starship and an X-Wing fighter. As players continue to discover new things, they'll likely be more inclined to uncover more of what the game has to offer.

Starfield is available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
