TL; DR– Fun, but too short. 93%

Basics:  A Star is born!  Literally!  The starfinder society is invited to watch the birth of a new star.  What will happen as it enters our universe?

Mechanics or Crunch: This adventure is a short one.  There is one fight, some skills, and a ship adventure.  All the math works well, and things feel balanced.  The crunch is good if a bit short.  5/5

Theme or Fluff– This is really good world-building in this adventure.  The world of Starfinder needs adventures where Starfinders explore the galaxy.  This adventure makes the society seem less like a mercenary group and more like Starfreet.  Solid fun meeting people and exploring in this one.  5/5

Execution:  The adventure is too short.  It’s got solid adventure parts that Paizo knows how to publish, but this is just too short.  The adventure has a social part: see the stuff that happens, fix the ship, fight, then evade the crazy space stuff.  It’s all well done, but there is just not enough to do.  This is about a solid hour of work if the players roll ok.  This just needs more.  4/5

Summary:  This is a tough one for me.  I like all the pieces, but there is just not enough of them in this one.  The adventure has solid universe building and mechanics.  I just want more of them.  For the price and the time goal, I don’t think you get enough.  It’s a good adventure, but if you schedule this one, your eventing will be over pretty quickly. 93%
