How to get to Hopetown in Starfield

Hopetown is located on Polvo in Starfield which is a planet in the Valo system.

You can get to the Valo system by grav-jumping North East from the Alpha Centauri system. The system is also a part of the Freestar Ranger’s space so if you choose to join the Rangers in Starfield, you’ll be able to travel to Hopetown directly simply by completing the group’s main questline.

Due to Valo being in Freestar Ranger space, if you visit Hopetown as a member of the Rangers you’ll be welcomed however, if you’ve racked up a bounty from the group at some point in the game, you’ll receive a less enthusiastic greeting. Therefore, you may want to either clear up the bounty before entering the Hopetown or simply watch your back while you’re there.
