Starfield Ryujin Industries faction guide

The Starfield Ryujin Industries faction is currently one of the most mysterious factions in Bethesda Studio’s new space-faring RPG. What we do know so far will be exciting and valuable for players to learn.

Here, we’ll cover everything we know about the Starfield Ryujin Industries faction so far, what they’re about, and whether you can join them. There’s a massive range of factions in-game, from the law-and-order Starfield United Colonies faction to the chaotic piracy of the Starfield Crimson Fleet faction. But Ryujin Industries presents a different direction to explore entirely.

Who are Ryujin Industries in Starfield?

Ryujin Industries is a megacorporation faction in Starfield. They’re one of the most powerful corporate entities in the game, alongside their presumably rival company, the Starfield Xenofresh Corporation faction.

We don’t know a lot about their ambitions as a faction, but it’s probably a fair assumption that profit is their endgame goal above all else. We do know that “Ryujin” is a Japanese Shinto deity of the sea, and this seems to align nicely with their base of operations.

Ryujin Industries doesn’t have a capital city like some of the more politically legitimate factions, but their operational core seems to be centered around the city of Neon on the water planet of Aurora. This city was once a fishing dock, but after discovering the fish had psychotropic properties, a booming narcotics trade sprang up, turning it into a pleasure city. Given that the deity Ryujin is believed to be a source of medicinal knowledge, and taking location into account, there’s reasonable evidence to expect that Ryujin Industries is a pharmaceutical company, or at least produces pharmaceutical products to some degree.

This is still speculation of course, and we’ll need to wait until we’re closer to the Starfield release date to learn more and confirm our suspicions.

Can I Join Ryujin Industries in Starfield?

Yes, you will be able to join the Starfield Ryujin Industries faction. Ironically, for a faction we know so little about, we’ve got a pretty clear idea of how you’ll go about joining it. You’ll just need to head to Neon City, and apply directly to an open position for employment with the company. From there, you can likely expect the churn through corporate dirty work, climbing the ranks as you improve your reputation. But joining is certainly worth doing, with Lead Quest Designer Will Shen describing the Ryujin Industries story as “one of the best starts of all the factions in Starfield.”

That’s everything we know so far about the Starfield Ryujin Industries faction, who they are, and how to join them. As there’s not much to go on yet, be sure to take a look at some of the other factions available, like the Starfield Freestar Collective faction, to see what they can offer you as well. Alternatively, if you want a Starfield factions list to get a full but succinct overview of every faction we know about right now, we’ve got you covered.
