Mr Dvir,

Thanks for your enquiry. As you'll be aware, the TAZ prize the freedom to stretch our legs out in Baffin and it's always been the Faction policy to maintain exclusive occupation of its space whilst at the same time welcoming visitors who wish to pass through and trade at Shasta and Sedona in particular.

So, the immediate and blanket answer to your request is, unfortunately, negative, we ain't in the mindset to start writing leases for any part of Baffin space at the moment. And in particular, and sorry this applies to yerself, to folks we don't know about who might become noisy neighbours.

Having said all of that, you have raised a question for the Inner Spanktum to consider...... And we'll be debating this whole issue. But please don't hold yer breath waiting for a resolution.

This is not the answer you were looking for, I know. But in any event we would need to know a whole lot more about you and your intent for a base before any kinda agreement to allow construction to commence could be reached.

Hail Eris!
MJR
