A regional governor (as yet unnamed) on Rathun's World is reported to have been assassinated by a Utrekian gunman who then teleported up to an unmarked Utrek High Speed Transport. A DDS ship commanded by Sea Urchin gave chase but they were unable to capture the Utrekians who, its reported, blew up their own ship when their main power was disabled by the DDS.
We understand that an associate of the governor confessed (after 48 hours of brutal torture) that the governor was in the pay of the shadowy Utrekian mafia and tried to doublecross them. A risky idea...
