There's a surprise in the corrino system.

[JohnDFord]

Near the Tira portal, theres a group of asteriods, and when attacked a hostile templar fleet comes and attacks you, is there anything to gain from this?

[Santyaga]

As I recall, only some exp and loot (could be serious stuff).

[Spectre]

near the tira portal at start of campaign? or later on? this is a first that i have heard of such an attack.

[Santyaga]

I don't remember when - at start or later - but templars show up when you attack this group of asteroids :).

[Spectre]

:O ima go check that out ^_^

[Murky]

maybe that asteroid has a cache the trader told me

[Murky]

the trader says that ther is a cache in the tira system but i cant find it

[Santyaga]

As I recall - no, not in this case. This thing happens always with right actions, regardless of any "trader told me".
As for finding mentioned cache anywhere - it is more of a game of chance :). May be it's in mentioned location, may be it's not, may be it doesn't exist at all.

Sorry for the necro. I can confirm that attacking that asteroid group does indeed spawn Templars. 2-3 corvettes and 3-5 squads of fighters, who in turn consist of 2 x Gunslinger T, 1 x Trident T and 1 x Trident T. Tough fight, and I had 3 Rage turrets (yay caches), Mothership had 3500 health and shield and 10 HP/s shield regen, 20 HP/s health regen, and Tigers with gen 2-3 pulse lasers/combat lasers and gen 3+ other equipment. Despite being able to eliminate most enemies with one or two passes, it still took me about 30 min of careful quicksaving and save scumming. Got a bunch of fighter Rage guns and a few Shinings.
A tip: Stay away from those Butchers: Their main guns are mostly alpha weapons like plasmas, while the turret is a Shining pulse laser turret, so they can melt away even your mothership's health, fighters just disappear. Use mothership heavy caliber guns to eliminate them.

Only after this did I go to Charon to get Gunslinger T's. Fun fact: This engagement did not make the Templars there hostile.

The fun part though: When I passed through the system later, and shot at that asteroid group for the hell of it, it spawned Templars AGAIN :D So farming oppurtunities if you want, but by the time you don't struggle with that fight, you may not need the farming anyway.

Oh bloody hell. I was just testing the massive calibre guns and then suddenly templars came out of nowhere. I'm guessing it is or was supposed to be there secret base or something. I'm assuming it either comes up later or something the developers never completed (but left the randomly spawning templars when you attack the asteriods).
Lol btw this discussion is the first thing that comes up when typing "star wolves templars".
