The Mayor is the head of Starsand Island's local government, responsible for overseeing the island's governance and community affairs. He is the grandfather of Solara, who serves as his official assistant at the Community Center in Starsand Town. The Mayor is a non-romanceable NPC who operates mostly behind the scenes, with Solara handling most of the day-to-day player-facing interactions at the Community Center.
Role on the Island
The Mayor has guided the island through both good times and difficult periods, carrying the responsibility of leadership with a steady and deliberate approach. He values both tradition and progress, and those who know him say he listens to the younger generation more than they realize. His demanding schedule keeps him busy from early mornings into late nights, and he has personally explored every location on the island over the course of his long tenure.
In practical terms, the Mayor's influence is felt primarily through the Community Center and its services. Rather than handling daily business himself, he entrusts Solara with managing player interactions, profession certifications, and Bulletin Board requests. Players will interact with Solara far more frequently than with the Mayor directly.
Community Center Services
The Community Center in Starsand Town is the administrative hub that the Mayor oversees. Solara manages the following services on his behalf:
Service | Description |
|---|---|
Profession Certifications | Players can register for and advance in professions (Farmer, Rancher, Angler, Explorer, Artisan) through Solara |
Daily NPC requests posted outside the Community Center; completing these earns rewards and Affection with the requesting NPC | |
Town Business | Administrative matters, community events, and island governance decisions |
Starsand Station | Solara coordinates the 'Building Starsand Station' questline, a major community project |
Family and Background
The Mayor is Solara's paternal grandfather. Solara's parents are dedicated to charity work and spend most of their time off the island, which led Solara to feel a deep sense of responsibility toward island affairs from a young age. After completing her university studies, Solara returned to Starsand Island to help her grandfather manage the town, taking on the role of Mayor's Assistant at the Community Center.
The Mayor's family connection to Solara is central to the game's early narrative. When the player character returns to the island after roughly ten years away, Solara is one of the first familiar faces they encounter. Their childhood friendship and Solara's role at the Community Center make the Mayor's family an important part of the player's reintroduction to island life.
Relationship with the Player
The Mayor is not romanceable and does not participate in the standard gift and friendship system that most other named NPCs use. While players can interact with him in the context of Community Center events and story moments, he does not have a documented heart level progression, gift preference list, or personal quest chain as of the current Early Access version.
For players looking to build relationships with NPCs connected to the Mayor, focusing on Solara is the most productive approach. Solara is one of the game's romanceable characters, and strengthening the friendship with her naturally involves spending time at the Community Center.
Early Access Notes
Starsand Island launched into Steam Early Access on February 11, 2026.
