One the fateful day you all met, you had been delivered to the Uruk down starport. Retired, or mustered out from service. With the clothes on your back, alittle money and some gear. A few crude, oft abused public employment terminals sit across from military and service recruiting offices, at the starport, across from the starport bar. The lone star cantina, sanitized and souless, lacking character in a vapid corporate way. Sticky seats wiped with unclean rags. The only overpriced drinks available this side of the line. Manned by a handful of disinterested staff. Some have settled in for long waits and flight delays, some wait expectantly for arrivals from outworld. Eventually a fight at bar spills out, it starts as a brawl, then blades and finally a gun battle, hired gang members (1/PC razor angels) were used to cause distraction, they attacked off duty marine squad (unknowingly) elsewhere 1d6 terrorist (belter infiltrators) bomb threat, ship blows up at park bay, a ship they are assigned to use, 20ton gig, royal charter (kingdom) roll for police hassle, weapons check vs. law level (guns except for shotguns, open display discouraged) Terrorists escape by car into the slums of the city, not pursued by confederate forces beyond the line.
