Starfield’s cyberpunk-themed city, Neon, located in the Volii system, is a bright and busy place filled with drinking, dancing, and so much more. But in the streets of Ebbside, a lower-income area of Neon City, you’ll find a darker side to Neon.

The first time you visit the area of Ebbside near Madame Sauvage’s bar, a local man stops you to warn you about the two rival gangs: The Disciples and the Ebbside Strikers. This unlocks the Audition quest which, upon completion, makes you a new member of the Strikers and allows you easy access to get the Wakizashi Katana.
