What are Stellaron Hunter bounties?

Stellaron Hunter bounties are hefty rewards offered for capturing members of this notorious spacefaring group.

The Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC), a powerful organization with control over much of the galaxy’s resources, places these bounties. The IPC views the Stellaron Hunters as a threat because they pursue Stellarons.

One wouldn’t guess the incredible power Silver Wolf wields by looking at her. Her easygoing demeanor and playful banter often mask a sharp intellect and a cunning mind.

She thrives on the thrill of the challenge, relishing the opportunity to test her skills against ever-more complex systems.

One moment she might be cracking a heavily encrypted data bank, the next she’s cracking jokes and lightheartedly poking fun at her teammates.

Blade’s bounty is 8.13 billion credits.

Once a man with a forgotten name, Blade now embodies the weapon he wields. He severed ties with his past, becoming a loyal servant of “Destiny’s Slave,” or Elio.

A terrifying paradox defines Blade. He possesses an uncanny ability to regenerate from any wound, yet his body is etched with a network of cracks — a constant reminder of the price he pays for his immortality.

Firefly, the pilot of the mechanized suit SAM (Strategic Assault Mech), is the second most wanted in the group and has one of the highest Stellaron Hunter bounties at 9,723,000,000 credits.

Hailing from the tragic ruins of Glamoth, a once-mighty empire consumed by the terrifying Swarm, Firefly embodies both resilience and a fierce spirit.

As a young girl, using advanced technology, she narrowly escaped Glamoth’s destruction.

But Firefly carries a heavy burden. Genetic modifications to enhance her combat abilities have resulted in Entropy Loss Syndrome.

This debilitating condition fuels her unwavering determination to find meaning in her existence and defy the fate seemingly set in stone.

While little is officially known about Kafka’s past, she appears calm and collected, and harbors a fondness for collecting coats.

Kafka is a key group member and works under the leader, Destiny’s Slave, Elio. Her loyalty lies with Elio’s vision for the future, and her actions within the game’s narrative will likely shed more light on her true intentions.
