...apart from the Starfire module "Crusade" and the hopefully soon to be
electronically published "Insurrection" module?

Samurai sleds are probably best handled by More Thrust's boarding
rules - they already talk about boarding pods, so why not... In
the Starfire background they come as a shock for everyone; in most other
backgrounds they don't.

X-ray lasers (Starfire abbreviation "Lx") - and, talking about
lasers, the TFN hetlasers (HET) too - are heavy beam weapons. In the
Starfire game (and thus the background these two novels are set in), lasers
ignore shields. The Lx has a tendency to blow the mounting ship up once in a
while; we have toned that down a bit, so the normal AA battery burnout rules
in More Thrust seem appropriate for it.
