16. Sixth Circle (Cydonia, Mars, Sol System)

The Sixth Circle can be found at Cydonia, the underground city on Mars, and it sucks pretty badly. Though it’s decorated similarly to other Starfield bars with metal fixtures and sparse decor that gives a no-nonsense industrial vibe, it’s the clientele that make this place the second least desirable bar in the cosmos. The Sixth Circle is a Marine bar, but not just any Marine bar—it’s the official watering hole of the Red Devils, the meanest Marines in the UC Vanguard. The now-disbanded unit was created solely to fight Terrormorphs (Starfield’s version of Alien’s xenomorphs), so every member of this special unit is a complete and utter menace.

They’re all perfectly well-behaved when you’re in there, sure, but the moment you open your mouth to complain about the military industrial complex is the moment you’ll get an Old Earth pistol to the temple. And the dog tags for fallen soldiers hanging behind the bar next to pictures of them—is that supposed to be welcoming? Nah, I’m good. I’ll go somewhere else for my juice box full of whiskey. — AM
