📋 About This Mod

Introduction

This is my first mod, I expect there will be some issues and growing pains. I will be actively tackling any bugs that are reported.

You can access the map by travelling to Volii Alpha and landing at the anomaly near Neon. A new game should not be required.

My intention for this mod was to roughly create the exterior of Kestro City and contribute towards the starwarsification of starfield. This isn't a faithful adaptation of any single source and I've taken creative liberties where I felt it made sense to do so. I have added a couple of stores and crowds so that it is minimally functional as a city. My hope is that people will like the city enough that they will want to add their own ideas, whether that be with new interiors, followers, quests, or in any other way. At some point in the distant future I might flesh things out with an update.

For anyone who wishes to make changes, contribute, or produce their own dependent mod(s), you have my thanks and permission. I won't

be uploading this for Xbox, though, if someone wishes to convert it for free use, then, they are more than welcome to. As a warning, geometry is packed into the nifs using 3DS, so, it would be a time consuming process.

Installation and recommendations

  • []Shattered Space is required.

    []Download the Vardos file from the files tab on this Nexus page.

    []Extract the downloaded files and place them in your starfield directory.

    []Enable StarWars_Vardos.esm in Mod Organizer 2.

    I will provide an ESM for quick updates so that the mod does not need to be re-downloaded in its entirety. Simply replace the StarWars_Vardos.esm in your main directory with the updated version available in the files tab.

    The following mods are highly recommended and should be placed higher in the load order:

    Star Wars Aliens by Radicalclownfriend.

    Star Wars Droids by Radicalclownfriend, please remember to enable the SW Aliens Droids patch provided in the download.

    UC Empire by Radicalclownfriend.

    Star Wars Blasters and Melee by Crozzbow.

    Star Wars Spacer Overhaul by Crozzbow.

    Enhanced Lights and FX by Anamorfus.

    The Star Wars mods are requirements. Enhanced lights and FX is not, though you may experience some lighting issues without it (I didn't in testing). If you have any additional mods, then, you may need to play with your load order to find what works best.

    • []The city is navmeshed with crowds and followers capable of moving across the map.

      []There are six interiors for the city, a weaponsmith, armorsmith, droidsmith, a resource depot, a cantina, and the

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge download count (143,937) shows tons of players have tried it.
  • 120 endorsements from the community — decent approval for a location mod.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description is bare-bones — no details on what the city looks like or what's inside.
  • No screenshots or videos mentioned, so you're going in blind.
  • Only 120 endorsements out of 143k downloads — many players didn't bother to endorse, which might mean it's not mind-blowing.
