The Topeka Star is a fictional American newspaper based in Topeka, Kansas. In Severance: The Lexington Letter, former Lumon Industries employee and whistleblower Margaret “Peg” Kincaid makes contact with Tokpeka Star reporter Daria Thorne and entrusts her with detailed and potentially incriminating information on Lumon, their business practices, and the misuse and abuse of the Severance procedure.

The Topeka Star is edited by Jim Milchick.
