Operation: Trainwreck
General Summary
In the unknown depths of Nabokon, Verces four people sat silently around a table, waiting for a holoprojector to activate. When it finally came to life, a man identifying himself as "Mr Grey" requested that the four retrieve a 'capsule' from Stygian Tower, and not to look inside it. They agreed.
The four scouted the tower briefly (during which time Beetlejuice stole a police comm in broad daylight) and Beetlejuice forced a Dwarf taxi driver at gunpoint to take them up to a small airlock that Dexx had noticed. Slip paid him 2 credits for his trouble before he left. Valhatru spotted a small access computer - but

Slip paid him 2 credits for his trouble before he left. Valhatru spotted a small access computer - but
Even as they finished off their handiwork, the elevator opened and a squad of NextStep bounty hunters emerged with Garen Troshar leading from the rear with his two bodyguards. (And unknown to them, Ublios Crows approached with another, smaller squad from the airlock.)
Meanwhile, Slippery G'zar was hurling insults back and forth with a small series of NextStep hunters. Ublios Crows stood on top of a cargo pod, firing his magically-enhanced revolver at his enemies before changing position to assist his troops take on Slippery G'zar.
Garen hadn't gotten far - stopping to throw insults at Slip and hopefully distract him from his mission. It was a mistake, as Valhatru came nearby. One bodyguard was cut down by Beetlejuice in a sudden blitz of laserfire, sweeping the beam around to hurt all three.

With Dexx gone with the capsule, and most of the NextStep forces being cut down, Ublios Crows retreated, leaving them for dead. Valhatru, Beetlejuice and Slippery G'zar ran, and minor bounties were placed on their heads within the hour. Dexx on the other hand, now wears a hefty alive-only bounty, with extra paid for retrieval of the capsule.

Notes
Valhatru's Player complained about his 'two Maneuvers and an Action for free, each Turn' Kasatha bonus being unfair, as he didn't always have the need for an Action. He requested a third free Maneuver.
GM ruled that this would be unfair (maximum 2 Maneuvers, 1 Action per Turn - an important rule not lightly bent nor broken) but couldn't think of a good enough reason at the time.
The reason is, that although Kasatha have four arms they can only move so fast and do so much in a Turn - similar to other species. If there is no use for an extra Action, then no "consolation prize" additional Maneuver should be given.
