This guide will be going over (hopefully) all of the vendors and ship manufacturers in the game that offer ship services and sell ships.
I’ll first list all of the manufacturers, you’ll be able to find these easily on the right in the guide index, sorted by name, each having their own section and I’ll put all of the neutral vendors into one category at the end of this guide.

Intro
Сrеdit gоеs to eternalreflect !
The five main, major companies each have their own design and specialty, and these are in the areas that determine the outward-facing appearance of the ship – structural elements, cockpits, and even the ship’s inside spaces.
The other ship companies are all more generic, and make things like weapons, fuel storage, and cargo hold ship inventory expansions – basically, stuff that has less of an impact on the overall style of your ship, more the actual functionality. The ‘generic’ ship parts can be found almost anywhere, including most places that you find ship techs, which is the landing bays at all major and even some minor settlements. There will be a list of these at the end of the guide.
Deimos
Deimos has a staryard in the Sol star system orbiting Deimos, a moon of Mars. You’ll need to travel to Deimos and dock the staryard.
When you enter the staryard you’ll want to go straight forward, passing the reception, then at the end of the hall you want to go down the stairs to the left. There you’ll find Nikau Henderson who will sell you the ship and ship parts.
About Deimos
- There’s exclusive cockpits, landing gears, structures, and some large-sized habs.
- It’s worth noting that the Deimos branded habs often have less workbenches and crafting stations than their peers, but in return have more storage space such as chests.
- Known for sturdy ships and solid ballistic weapons.
- Stroud-Eklund and Deimos have the best workshop as they have not only the crafting tables but also a research terminal, meaning that with a single workshop you have every crafting station except pharmaceutical.
Hopetech
Hopetech has an office in Hopetown which is located in the Valo star system, on the planet Polvo. You won’t see Valo on the star map by default. You’ll need to hover the Narion system to see Valo in the drop down menu.
Once you land in Hopetown you’ll see the Hopetech office right in front of you. Just walk through the front door.
On the inside you want to walk through into the main room and you’ll see the sales person on your right behind a counter. Her name is Inaya Rehman.
About Hopetech
- Known for great general ship parts like structural, gear, and dockers.
- Exclusive cockpits, dockers, landing gears, structure pieces, and a large number of habs.
- Has a few very unique cockpit pieces that attach to the ship from the top – meaning the cockpit can sit underneath the body of the ship as opposed to at the front or the top.
- Unique ‘fuselage’ shaped hab elements.
Nova Galactic
You’ll find Nova Galactic in the Sol system, in the New Homestead which is on Titan, a moon of Saturn.
The vendor is the Ship Services Technician on the landing pad, directly on your left as soon as you land.
About Nova Galactic
- Famous for its Habs, Landing Gears, and Structural parts.
- Enormous 3×2 habs, and a brilliant 3×2 cockpit, plus one of the most powerful landing gears in Starfield.
Stroud-Eklund
The Stroud-Eklund Staryard orbits Dalvik, a moon of Deepala in the Narion system.
Once you dock the staryard and enter you’ll come out of the red door in the screenshot above on the left. You want to keep going forward into the office and on your left you’ll find Havershaw behind a desk. He’ll sell you the ships and ship parts.
Alternatively you can visit the Showroom in Neon Core on Volii Alpha in the Volii system. You can use the kiosk behind the woman to both buy ships and ship parts. Both Havershaw and the kiosks seem to have the same inventory.
About Stroud-Eklund
- Unique landing bay, cockpits, dockers, landing gears, and more.
- Luxury interiors and sleek design.
- Stroud-Eklund and Deimos have the best workshop as they have not only the crafting tables but also a research terminal, meaning that with a single workshop you have every crafting station except pharmaceutical.
Taiyo Astroneering
You’ll want to land in Neon, more specifically Neon Core (You won’t be able to fast travel here unless you’ve already visited Neon Core before). The city is located on Volii Alpha in the Volii System.
Once in Neon Core, depending on whether you fast traveled here or entered through the elevator, you’re looking for a red Ryujin Tower. If you fast traveled it’ll be on your right. If you entered through the elevator, it’ll be on your left. It’s all the way at the end, you can’t miss it. Just walk straight forward to it once you see it. You’ll encounter an elevator. You want to enter it and click Taiyo Astroneering in the menu.
When you exit the elevator you want to go to the right, then down the stairs to the right again. There you’ll see Veronica Young, which is the sales person.
About Taiyo Astroneering
- Unique Bays, Cockpits, Dockers, and Habs, plus structural parts with Taiyo’s unique sense of style.
- Know for state-of-the-art cockpits, habs, and gear.
Generic Manufacturers
There are many other ‘generic’ manufacturers – these have a variety of names, but these companies aren’t ones you can visit specific offices for. Instead, you’ll find their products scattered across all of the various Staryards and Landing Pad Ship Services technicians you can visit across Starfield’s Galaxy.
These generic ship part manufacturers are and specialize in the following:
- Amun Dunn: Power Reactors
- Ballistic Solutions: Ballistic Weapons, Fuel Storage
- Deep Core: Grav Drives, Cargo Storage
- Dogstar: Cargo Storage, Reactors, Shields
- Horizon Defense: Weapons
- Light Scythe: Energy Type Weapons
- Nautilus: Fuel Storage, Shields
- Panoptes: Engines & Cargo Storage
- Protectorate Systems: Cargo Storage
- Reladyne: Grav Drives, Engines
- Sextant Shield Systems: Shielded Cargo Bays, for hiding Contraband
- Shinigami: Energy Type Weapons
- Slayton Aerospace: Grav Drives
- Xiang: Power Reactors
Ship Services Technicians
Not all landing pad ship technicians in Starfield are equal – even when they’re not attached to a specific company.
The ship technician on Porrima III at the Red Mile sells shielded Cargo Bays, for instance. So too does the ship tech aboard The Key if you join the Crimson Fleet.
Plus, once you unlock a landing pad on your outpost, you’ll get your own ship tech who tends to have particularly broad stock.

I comandeered a Nova galactic freighter – which is great but only has W0 and W1 Weapon slots. Is there any way to install an additional w2 weapon slot`? I so far did not find a way…
You need to add the weapons you want and then assign them to that weapon group in the ship editor.
Stroud-Eklund missing the 3rd Cockpit in the Picture.
It’s an awesome guide
Now a question, does it mean we have to travel over several systems to build a full ship, if we want it to have parts of different manufacturers (the big 5 ones I mean), it feels a bit like a chore. Or are they unlocked into the player outpost landing part once you visit them? Or another thing as practical as this one?
The outpost technician has the widest inventory of items out of all vendors in the game, but even he doesn’t have all of the parts, so yes, you do have to travel to different vendors in order to get all the parts you want. Depending on what parts you choose to use of course. You could get lucky and have all the parts you want at one vendor.
Some of these i didnt even know existed. Thank you!
I was looking for some “Equipment plates” so I could mount weapons on my habs. After 20 mins of fast travelling all over the inner systems. I found that you can find them at Akila Ship services and they are a Taiyo Product. so places that sell those products are were to find them
is the comspike and the other crimson fleet part locked if you finish that quest line? I can see shielded cargo but not the other two
You should get both of them during the missions.Unfortunately if you’ve sided with UC you won’t be able to get either of them after the questline anymore. Only Jasmine sells them.
fantastic guide! thank u very much for your hard work.
I wish the game would let me buy the part i want and store, so i can use latter, like buy and ship it to my outpost where i have an “garage” hehe
Agreed, having to put all the parts on your ship and flying around looking like a clown before you can put it all together feels bad. It ain’t much but it’s honest work.
