Lurman Spaceport Cargo Boxes

Distinct from the space thruster; these are unmarked wooden cargo crates used for transporting disguised human artifacts

1 appearances

Purpose

Container for modified human artifacts disguised as carnival equipment and extraterrestrial goods for diplomatic inspection

Significance

Central to the spaceport's illusion of bureaucratic routine being shattered by the Doctor and Jo's disruptive arrival. Their inspection becomes a focal point for the Lurmans' paranoia about exposing true intentions regarding the modified artifacts, escalating into violent containment measures. The conflict between these boxes' designated purpose as 'alien goods' and their actual use as disguised human artifacts creates the story's pivotal deception.
