概要
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 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!
Areas and Encounters
The first part of the dungeon is a linear corridor through the tether station at the edge of the rift. There, Steele encounters Tam, a crazed kaithrit tech specialist who has rigged the station's waiting room full of heavily armed turrets and set her mechanical companion Tam-wolf to guard it.
Once Tam-Tam's group is dealt with, Steele can proceed through the station and optionally fuck Tam. At this point, Steele is also informed that there is now a 4-hour deadline before the bomb detonates. An elevator lift leads down to the center of the planet, where a second station is located. The first fight here is against a group of heavy rocket turrets guarding the station; Tech Specialists and Smugglers can both circumvent the turrets and destroy them from behind. Otherwise, the turrets can be fought through with brute force, though they do heavy damage.
Past the elevator platform is a circular walkway around the central station chamber. In the central chamber is Kaska Beamfury, the second in command of the Tarasque, who guards the bomb itself. Once she is defeated, Steele can take her detonator (one of two), and attempt to disarm the bomb if they also possess the second detonator.
The second detonator is found in the northern-most part of the station, on the person of Captain Khorgan, the leader of the pirate band who fights Steele in a mech suit. She will drop a detonator, and Steele can retrieve a chunk of Plat190, which is very useful for acquiring the Tarkus data probe and advancing the main story.

Hidden within one of the non-hostile squares of the lower part of the tether is Mitzi, tied up and drugged after being gangbanged to incapacitation by Kaska and Khorgan. The player has the option to free her.
Notable Items and Rewards
- Tam-wolf, looted from Tam after her fight. He can be equipped as an accessory, and replaces a Tech Specialist's normal drone.
- There is also a badly-damaged variant of the Tam-Wolf.
- Platinum 190 shard. Found near Captain Khorgan after her fight.
- Mitzi as a potential crewmember if she was freed in the dungeon
Bad End
Tam-tam, Captain Khorgan, and Kaska all have unique Bad Ends in which they enslave Steele and use him/her in various ways as either a mate or, in Tam's case, a plaything. Steele can also potentially be killed by the rocket pods, by Kaska if her lust is not raised, or by remaining in the station for longer than the deadline allows, causing the planet to be destroyed with Steele in it.
结局方案
在地城探索过程中，玩家会发现炸弹只是虚张声势。海盗们并非搞恐怖活动，而是对他们在塔库斯核心发现的一条铂金 190 矿脉感兴趣，趁塔姆和炸弹引开维和者与当地人之际加紧开采。恒星系绳可以用两种截然不同的方式解决：
- 斯蒂尔击败海盗并拆除炸弹。斯蒂尔必须完成一局灭灯游戏来禁用炸弹，而且只有两把引爆器都到手后才能尝试。在这种情况下，海盗们很快被维和者逮捕，斯蒂尔得以继续他/她的冒险。抓获海盗后，斯蒂尔可以在把他们送往加斯蒂戈斯几天后前往探视。
- 斯蒂尔在爆炸前离开地城，要么看着海盗带着战利品——铂金 190——飞走；要么如果斯蒂尔拥有一把引爆器，海盗无法拆除炸弹，塔库斯被摧毁。假设斯蒂尔在爆炸发生时身处新家园或已离开星球，斯蒂尔将无法再探索塔库斯地表，但新家园及其居民得以幸存（奥罗拉的命运取决于安诺的幽灵甲板任务中采取的行动）。
无论如何，问题解决后，斯蒂尔必须返回塔库斯面对杰克或吉尔·斯蒂尔，对方发现谢卡持有数据探测器。斯蒂尔可以用从科甘船长处获得的铂金 190 直接买下探测器，或者卷入一场与斯蒂尔劲敌之间代价高昂的竞价战（25,000 即可拿下探测器）。探测器买下后，可以卖给斯蒂尔科技，也可以免费赠予谢卡。此外，如果玩家释放了米茨，玩家会在飞船前遇见她，她会请求同行。
