when does starfield take place

Starfield takes place in the year 2330. The game's story is set in a future where humanity has expanded into space, with key historical events including the landing on Mars in 2050, the founding of the United Colonies in the mid-2100s, major conflicts such as the Narion War and the Colony War, and the establishment of significant colonies and cities throughout the 22nd and 23rd centuries. By 2330, Earth has become uninhabitable, and humans explore and settle in the Settled Systems up to about 50 light-years from Sol.
