Events with structured involvement data
The Lurmans function as colonial enforcers through the Spaceport Authority, treating both cargo and personnel as variables to be contained. Their bureaucratic infrastructure extends beyond the port, using procedure as both shield and weapon. Vorg and Shirna’s interaction with the port exposes their precarious status as outsiders, unprotected by any Lurman-affiliated organization. The ejected handlers—later revealed as the Doctor and Jo—demonstrate the empire’s reach in snaring even those claiming legitimate transit.
