Catun

Catun — Kenshi Cities & Settlements reference image

Catun runs on ore and obedience. The desert provides the first; the United Cities sees to the second.

A United Cities mining and trade city in the eastern desert — gritty, productive and slaver-adjacent.

Beginner WarningCatun is UC territory — slavery is a real risk for the wanted. Clear your bounties before settling nearby.

Who Controls It

Catun is a United Cities city in the eastern Great Desert, built around mining and regional trade.

Shops & Services

UC vendors, ore buyers and the usual recruitment options. A practical, working-town market rather than a luxury one.

Defences & Dangers

UC Samurai garrison the town. As with all UC cities, a clean record keeps you safe and a bounty makes the guards a threat.

Best Reasons To Visit

Selling ore, mid-game trade, and a UC foothold in the resource-rich east.
