Rackham lit a cigar and reflectively puffed a plume of blue smoke towards the ceiling, took a sip of black coffee, then sat forward to speak:

"For the TAZ, In terms of the past year, it has been one of consolidation, we have an aggressive Gallic front almost within touching distance of Baffin, unfortunately, we do not have a military power capable of withstanding invasion, it makes us nervous, but we are confident that we have enough allies a friends throughout Sirius, with sufficient firepower and self interest in protecting Baffin from invaders. Also.. of course, and our friends gathered here today.

The TAZ ... thank Eris... have few other enemies other than the seemingly ubiquitous Nomads. We also have a continuing dispute with the Order, harking back to when they decided to try to steal the Persephone, our flagship, under some trumped up charge about it being infected by Nomads. I can confirm that the Persephone is in service and has no indication of any infection, as we always knew. We will be contacting the Order and attempt to reconcile their issues and to let them know we are willing to trade with them, Jeez, there was a time when they would sell us Gunboats.

In terms of Business, the TAZ has contacts throughout Sirius .... IMG in the Tau's will be problem, with their Gallic affiliation.

We can deal with almost any other Sirius based organisation."
