Earth is one of the most unique planets in Starfield, not because of its resources or sights but because of what it represents. In the game, our planet is a barren place, the victim of a catastrophe that has rendered it uninhabitable.

Once the cradle of human civilization, in the title, Earth is a desert-like planet with resources such as lead, chlorine, and lead. There are also remnants of civilization, such as a NASA laboratory, London, and the Pyramids of Giza.
