 During the course of the dungeon, it is revealed that the bomb is a mere distraction. Rather than terrorism, the pirates are interested in a vein of Plat190 they have discovered in the core of Tarkus, and are busy mining it while Tam and the bomb both keep the Peacekeepers and locals away. The Stellar Tether can be resolved in two very different ways:
-* Steele defeats the pirates and disarms the bomb.

-Once Tam-tam's group is dealt with, the PC can proceed through the station, fuck Tam, and restore power to the main elevator. At this point, you also are informed that there is now a 4-hour deadline before the bomb detonates. The elevator leads down to the center of the planet, where a second station is located. The first fight here is against a group of [[Rocket_Pods|heavy rocket turrets]] guarding the station; Tech Specialists and Smugglers can both circumvent the turrets and destroy them from behind. Otherwise, they can be fought through, though they do heavy damage.

-Past the elevator platform is a circular walkway around the central station chamber. In the central chamber is [[Kaska | Kaska Beamfury]], the second in command of the ''Tarasque'', who guards the bomb itself. Once she is defeated, the PC can take her [[Key_item_(TiTS)#Kaska_Detonator|detonator]] (one of two), and attempt to disarm the bomb if they also possess the second detonator.

 === Summary ===
 ----
 The Stellar Tether is the first major adventure in ''Trials in Tainted Space'''s main storyline. Located on [[Tarkus]]'s eastern-most border, near where the two halves of the planet are bolted together, [[Captain Steele]] arrives to find a [[United_Galactic_Confederacy#Peacekeeper|U.G.C. Peacekeeper]] team assembled outside of a small control station next to the rift. Approaching the squad's leader, Steele learns that the Stellar Tether station has been taken over by a group of space pirates who are now threatening to blow the tethers if their demands are not met. If the tethers are destroyed, so too is Tarkus. The Peacekeepers recruit Steele to infiltrate the tether station, defeat the pirates, and disarm the bomb before it's too late!
