aslan fight. your players might see mock battles, mock combats, and perhaps real combat. they might accidentally insult an aslan and be challenged to a duel.
perhaps some female aslan are tired of waiting on their males and decide to attach themselves to the adventure group.

Mardi Gras - Aslan style. When someone yells "show me your #@^$!" you get 6 instead of 2. But seriously, you can make a decadent religious holiday. Or you could have an Aslan version of a Japanese fertility festival. Most things like this take about a weekend or so. If you are looking for a real-life fete to base your game on, check out:

Put in something like Festival or Royal Banquet in the Search box. There's nothing like adapting a real-life setting to Traveller. And add what flykiller said.
Hope that helped,

^ And let's not forget The Hunt! Surely this Aslan noble wants to impress his guests with his heroics and hunting skills.
Maybe he expects them to partake in the hunt as well, steeped in tradition, done without modern weapons to bring the experience alive with historic accuracy.

Also, visiting traders could be summoned by the local Ko to determine the strengths and weakness of the opposing clan battlestation on a nearby world in the same system. This leads to a War of Assassins with the lead player as the intended target.
The rest of the players assume responsibility for security before an intervention of their Ko settles the matter with a Dewclaw fight and dies. Leaving the players in the problem what to do next.

Did the Noble really invite you out of gratitude --- or are you on display? Perhaps he is using your presence to put some social pressure on a political opponent. Perhaps he is really getting you to guard him as he takes you sight-seeing. Perhaps he is hoping you will enrage an important Aslani opponent and create an interstellar incident. Or, perhaps he an other nobles have a bet going to see who can bring in the most obnoxious or ugliest alien species? You never know (and you players may never know).
Second son syndrome...
The Nobles real intensions is to bring off-worlders in to take care of a "family dispute". One of his younger brothers... or even a second son of his own, is fouling things up and causing some embarrassment to his clan. The second son is out to prove himself by attaining land or property at any cost, and is "stepping" on the toes of the Noble, or one of the Nobles close friends/associate/clan members. Now he is looking for someone to "take care" of the situation, and if things go wrong, he can blame the off-worlders... (time for GM big evil grin! >

A young, male Aslan,intoxicated at the festival, starts a brawl with one of the adventurers. If he is killed, the party has broken the law and will be detained.
If the Aslan is somehow fought to a draw, then he delares the adventurer to be his "friend" and offers to buy food and drink for the party.
If he is just beaten, he swears to avenge his honor and challenges the party member to duel to the death (with melee weapons only). If legally registered this is allowed.
If the adventurer refuses, he/she is labeled a coward and shunned by the Aslan.
If the Adventurer wins the Duel, his patron noble is impressed and gives him a gift (credits, jewelry, a female

These all make me think about developing multi-level encounter tables to add some more mystique to meeting members of other OTU cultures. Have an Aslan table, a Vargr table, even a Human table (for those non-human PC's).
I think it would create more of a sense of "alien-ness" if you never knew what the outcome of an encounter might be. On day you might end up making friends, the other, you're in the gutter with a head wound.
