The Shirren head of the local Starfinder Society Chapter on Absalom.

• Know When to Fold 'Em: If the party actually finds the full answer, Chiskisk says that the Starfinders aren't in any condition for a direct fight with that, and to leave it to station security. Don't worry, you soon get the chance to show them up indirectly

• The Starscream: She successfully took over recently.

Vrokilayo Hatchbuster

NE male vesk soldier

Ferani's Vesk Bodyguard and enforcer.

• Determinator: You'd have to be this to bash in a locked hatch just to catch one guy with your bare hands! Fitting that he is the first enemy the PC's encounter in this campaign who willingly fights to the death.

A corporate mining conglomerate involved in a salvage claim dispute with Hardscrabble over the Drift Rock.

An Android assassin hired by Astral Extractions to terminate the players for their meddling.
