STAR
STAR (Sicherheitstechniker-Aufseher-Replika), (Security Technician Guard Replika 'Starling') or Star, are Generation 4 Low-Cost Combat Replikas. These units are Protektor Security Technician Guards.[1]
Combat[edit | edit source]
By the events of the game, almost all of the STAR units have been corrupted. These lost Replikas are usually armed with batons which they used during their time as guard units. Using Debug, we can see that they sport 55 hp, placing them between the late game Eules [2]and the Storchs [3]in terms of hp. These units sport extra speed, being able to quickly move towards you and swing their baton.
There are Officer STARs[1] who hold shields which they can use to block damage from most firearms. However, these shields offer no protection against the Disposable Stun Prod or Thermite Flare. A Revolver will knock back the shield with one shot, leaving the STAR vulnerable to follow-up attacks for a brief period. Using a Rifle or Grenade Shells will penetrate the shield and deal full damage.
The best way to handle the Regular STARs would be to use a shotgun at point blank range, however with the Officer STARs the rifle is able to penetrate their shields and thus is the better tool for the job.
Known STAR Units[edit | edit source]
In the game we learn details about specific STAR units across multiple notes.
STAR at the start of the Game (STAR-S23??)[edit | edit source]
In the B1 - Reeducation Wing of Sierpinski we come across a wounded STAR in the Aula. This star is the first NPC we meet in the game, Elster and her have the following conversation:
STAR: "...an Elster unit? You should leave this place. This facility is lost. Turn back before it's too late."
Elster: "I'm looking for this woman. Have you seen her?"
STAR: "I don't know her but she may be one of the workers. All Gestalt workers were sent to the mine below the facility. If she's still alive, she's probably down there. There's an access elevator to the mineshaft one level below, but you'll need an Administrator's Key to use it."
Speaking to her after the main dialogue she says the following:
"I'll be out of here as soon as this Repair Patch stops my bleeding. You should get out of here too. I don't know who that woman is, but she's probably dead by now. If you still want to go, good luck." "You're not a Protektor, so I can't tell you more than I already have. They'd decommission us both."
Her dialogue explains to Elster the means to finding Alina as well as the fact that she personally intends on leaving the facility. If you exit the room and reenter immediately, she will still be there; however, after progressing a bit you will find she is gone.

STAR with the Eule (STAR-S23??)[edit | edit source]
The wounded STAR in the mineshaft is named STAR-S23?? and is accompanied by an unnamed EULR. This STAR has several lines which reveal details about their relationship and themselves. Demonstrating a recovery of Gestalt Memories, and having developed a romantic relationship with the Eule.
Hey, don't cry. It'll be over soon.
Remember that time we went to the surface? The stars were so beautiful... I wish we could go there again.
Hey, listen. I'll let you in on a secret. I can remember my name, from my old life. Isn't that funny?
Don't you want to know it? Here, I'll tell you. It'll be our secret together. So you can stop crying, okay?
It'll be okay. Wherever it is I'm going. I'll wait for you there.
The room the duo is found in is referred in the Debug Mode as "Star Room". In the background audio of this room, one can hear the faint crying of the Eule. This can be better heard if one mutes the music.[6]
Also around the pair there is a Cadre of Replikas, including two Eules, and four Stars. The meaning of this could vary, however they are noticeably not corrupted.
Relevant Memories[edit | edit source]
We can learn more about the STARs from their Replika Overview Page. This tells us that they are a Generation 4 Low-Cost Combat Unit with a Biomechanical Frame and Polyethylene Shell and have Bullet-Resistant Armor Plating. The overview page reads as follows:
The Standard model of the Protektor Security Technicians. Fitted with extended legs, STAR units gracefully tower over most Gestalts. Despite their heavy armor, they can move swiftly with their long stride. Their cool and detached demeanor allows them to analyze situations with objectivity and deploy force as required. Trained in close combat and riot control techniques, they operate best in small squads led by an officer STAR unit equipped with a ballistic shield. [1]
We can learn more about the issues these unit face from their Replika Issues Page:
Despite their normally laid-back demeanor, STARs have a strong internal hierarchy, which is important to take into consideration when promoting units to officers. Not promoting a respected unit or promoting a unit low in status can lead to friction within dorms. STARs will occasionally develop in-group rules involving physical punishments. It is recommended to allow some Officers to own military weapons as Fetish objects to stabilize their Persona.[7]
STAR Dorms[edit | edit source]
There are two STAR Dorms in the game, North and South.
Dorm North[edit | edit source]
STAR Dorm North is a small room with 3 Bunk Beds meaning up to 6 STARs could have stayed here during the facility's operation. There are 2 lockers, likely for what would have been the officers of this Cadre, there is also a desk in the bottom of the room where one can see a light and a STAR poster, this poster is signed by Hunter.
Dorm South[edit | edit source]
STAR Dorm South also just called STAR Dorm in Debug, is located directly below the ARAR Dorm and is accessed by jumping down from a massive hole in the bottom of the latter that connects to the STAR Dorm. This room has 4 Bunk Beds, meaning up to 8 STARs could have stayed here during the facility's operation. There are lockers next to each bed, as well as a desk on the far side of the door, on this desk there is a STAR poster. On the north side of the room there is a Heimat Poster which shows the units pride in the Revolution and the Eusan Nation in general.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
