--NOTICE TO ALL RANKING BAF OFFICERS--

Following negociations with the TAZ, we now have right of passage through the Baffin System. For those of you who are not aware, Baffin is part of the notorious "Barrier Pass" going from Cortez (I beleive there is a jump hole somewhere behind Planet Curacao), Coronado and Baffin into Tau 29. Naturally, this route will be of great use to us in bypassing the ever more difficult Kusari-held route North from Leeds into Tau 31, giving us an alternative supply line into Tau space through which we may conduct both conventional and unconventional warfare.

Orders to BAF pilots are as follows. Baffin (and hence Coronado) are open routes for BAF vessels now to use either heading into Tau, or as an escape route from Tau. However, under no circumstances are BAF vessels to dock at the TAZ installation in Baffin, nor are they to engage any vessels whilst in the system - remember, we do not own this territory, and are there dependent upon the goodwill of the TAZ. Respect their Discordian laws, however...unorthodox they may appear to be. The passphrase to use when hailed by TAZ ships in Baffin is "Hail Eris, Queen of Baffin." Do not loiter, and try not to use the route so often or stay there so long that you attract undue attention. This is intended to be a relatively covert arrangement.
