Kafka and Silver Wolf were the ones responsible for the Antimatter Legion invasion on Herta Space Station, as revealed in the Prologue when Silver Wolf said she attracted hordes of Legion troops to the station. While the Antimatter Legion itself is still loyal to Nanook (whom the Stellaron Hunters oppose) and it's clear that [[EvilVersusEvil both sides will still fight each other]] from the outset, the Stellaron Hunters will nonetheless bait the Antimatter Legion into their plans for the sake of Elio's prophecy if it benefits them, essentially making the Legion {{Unwitting Pawn}}s in their schemes.

Charming, alluring, and exceedingly dangerous, Kafka is herself an enigma, following the will of Elio with steadfast vigor. She bears a closer connection to the Trailblazer at than the beginning rest of the game by inserting a Stellaron into unit, having restored them to being via the Stellaron's power. Kafka possesses the ability to make others [[JediMindTrick listen]] to her, bending their heart.wills to her own.

Going to remove this because at no point during the main story did the entire Xianzhou Luofu authority ever arrested the Astro Express crew and accused them of any wrongdoing, and it appears to be a misrepresentation of that one scene where Kafka used her "listening" ability to manipulate some Cloud Knights to fight the party in Stargazer Navalia.


* ManipulativeBastard: Not only are they wanted criminals, they go to very far lengths to make sure the Trailblazer cooperates with the Xianzhou Luofu by making everyone believe they were responsible for the Stellaron crisis and getting arrested. It is merely a small step in a long running plan. However, whether this is for good or evil is difficult to say at this time.

She's also the only person to outsmart Herta, who is said to have the highest IQ in the Blue.

!Stellaron Hunters

[[folder:In General]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Act bad to make everyone fulfill their proper roles, so that the heroes like the Astral Express can do their jobs at the right places. The system at large believes they're out-and-out criminals with no redeemable values, but whatever they're after besides their obvious title of "Stellaron Hunters" seems to be part of making sure TheProphecy is fulfilled.
* ManipulativeBastard: Not only are they wanted criminals, they go to very far lengths to make sure the Trailblazer cooperates with the Xianzhou Luofu by making everyone believe they were responsible for the Stellaron crisis and getting arrested. It is merely a small step in a long running plan. However, whether this is for good or evil is difficult to say at this time.
* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler:The Divination Commission is shocked to discover that the Stellaron Hunters have nothing to do with the Stellaron on the Luofu whatsoever. They're only there to ensure that the Astral Express is there so ''they'' can solve the Stellaron problem.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Strongly implied. According to an IPC news report you can access by interacting with a holographic terminal on board the Astral Express, each individual Stellaron Hunter apparently has the power to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy entire planets with ease]], making them galactic threats on par with Nanook's Emanators of Destruction. This would also explain how Kafka and Silver Wolf were able to make quick work of the Antimatter Legion's lesser mooks on board the Herta Space Station at the start of the game when said mooks posed a significant threat to the Trailblazer, March 7th, Dan Heng, and the entire station's populace.

A mysterious woman who awakens the Trailblazer at the beginning of the game by inserting a Stellaron into their heart.
----
* AirGuitar: Or rather air violin. In the opening cutscene, while the Antimatter Legion is attacking the Space Station, Kafka plays an invisible violin.
* AnimalMotifs: Spiders. Kafka has spider web patterns on her clothes, and her ultimate leaves a spider shape on the ground.
* TheDragon: She serves directly under Elio and is second in-command of the Stellaron Hunters, carrying out their operations physically while Elio remains in the shadows.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Not at first, as she simply has purplish red eyes in the prologue. Then when she reappears a bit later, [[spoiler:she suddenly has red circles in the center of her eyes with lines trailing from the sides. [[AmbiguousSituation What this means is unknown]], but it's clear something's changed even if she doesn't act like it; given she's lacking her makeup, it's entirely possible her prologue appearance was also faking certain visual details.]]
* TheFashionista: The only thing known about her other than her name is that she likes collecting coats.
* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:When Fu Xuan arrives to turn the tide on Kafka by redirecting her bullets back at her using Divination, she voluntarily surrenders, knowing full well that the Astral Express crew has the upper hand by that point. Turns out she threw the fight on purpose because Elio's prophecy says so, and Welt suspects that it's part of the Stellaron Hunter's XanatosGambit]].
* JediMindTrick: Her "listening" manipulation ability works in this manner in that it's less direct brainwashing and more saying a series of {{Trigger Phrase}}s to affect her victim's cognitive decisions and redirect their attention elsewhere, ranging from convincing some Cloud Knights to attack the Astral Express crew as if they were the enemies instead, to afflicting the Dominated status effect on party members to get them to attack each other during her boss fight.
* TheMusketeer: Uses both a sword and a pair of [=SMGs=] in combat.
* MoreThanMindControl: Fond of "persuasion" along these lines, though she calls it "listening"; [[FunWithSubtitles textboxes actually highlight whenever Kafka emphasizes her brand of "listening",]] such as in the prologue after awakening the Trailblazer or when explaining how she convinced some Cloud Knights to fight against the party. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration This also ties into her boss fight;]] she periodically applies the Dominated status effect to a specific party member, which leaves them uncontrollable and targeting their allies while they're Dominated. You even get an [[AchievementMockery achievement]] for letting Kafka Dominate the Trailblazer.
* MsFanservice: As the fans can attest, she checks a lot of the boxes, being stylishly-dressed, tall and very curvy, with tight clothing that accentuates her legs and chest. Her deep, alluring voice only adds to her attractiveness.
* MythologyGag: Her design is partially derived from the Kafka artworks of the previous ''Honkai'' games; ''Guns Girl Z'' and ''VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd'', bearing the same general concepts of having long purple hair and wearing white clothes.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: As with her previous ''Honkai'' iterations, she's named after Creator/FranzKafka.
* ATasteOfPower: At the start of the game, you control her and Silver Wolf before you get to control the Trailblazer.
* WildCard: While she appears antagonistic, Kafka's motives are a mystery, as [[spoiler:she and the Stellaron Hunters had nothing to do with the Stellaron's presence in the Luofu, and in fact only got involved in order to make the Alliance cooperate with the Astral Express.]]
