"A wolf in the night," this ship has enough expanded features to ensure that it has the advantage in equal-armed conflict. The Wolfhound has enough armor and a generously amplified power output to easily wear down combatants, while also harboring enough cargo space to easily strip them down and carry off the spoils.
==Handling==
{{Review|[[User:Onca|Onca]]|Most people are familiar with the Wolfhound as the one heavy fighter *not* to get in the final stages of the single player campaign. It is a huge, slow, underpowered punching bag; as a low level fighter there is really not much to say about it, except the only reason to buy one in Discovery is to satisfy RP requirements for Rogue or Molly characters working their way up. Make your money quick and get out of this tub ASAP. On the upside, if RPing a lawful Liberty or Bretonian character then meeting a group of Woflhound NPCs in a mission is tantamount to winning a quick mission. (As opposed to, say, Dagger and Legionnaire NPCs which can take all day to shoot down.) Just watch out for mine spamming. NPC Rogue gunboat patrols with Wolfhound escorts can also be a danger to low level characters in Liberty, but that's about it.}}

J3P 5S "Hayabusa" Civilian Scout Fighter

This light auxiliary vessel was built by Samura to try and regain some of the Kusari civilian ship market that had been taken by Kishiro and Renzu during previous years. Designed as a high end personal craft, it was meant to ferry couriers in between planets and bases quickly and in safety. While it is used for this purpose often, once the ship made it onto the open market it became a popular choice for many Kusari civilians. Though it seems that few official producers seem to have records of many ships being purchased by the Hogosha and Farmer's Alliance, it seems to be their favorite choice as scout and surveillance ships, and is a very common sight in Hogosha and Farmer's Alliance hands.
==Handling==
{{Review|[[User:TekFish|TekFish]]|Now this, is a light fighter.
The people at the Discovery dev team have remembered what Light Fighters are about.
Maneuverability.

If you even vaguely turn in this ship you will be hard to hit.
Counter measures are pretty much invalid since you can dodge a missile anyway, maybe making way for a cloaking device?

This ship has a tiny profile at the front, but just remember this ship does not have as much armor as some other light fighters.
If you get shot for a worryingly short amount of time, destruction will ensue.

But what I think works well is two Neutralizer Missiles and a Cannonball missile using a hit and run tactic.
Or 2 Heavy Flashpoints and an Adv.Debilitator?

Anyway if you're looking for a civilian ship to keep you out of danger or even one of the Naval Forces role playing as a scout.

This is the ship for you.}}

{{Review|[[User:Zynth|Zynth]]|This is one gem of a ship.
Not only does it look like a cute scaled downed version of the Kusari gunboat, it also has enough bite to be a match for heavier ships.

First the good:
This ship's profile is as small, if not smaller, than that of a Liberator, with agility to match. It is almost impossible to hit unless your opponent is a crack shot.
The powercore on this thing is big. It can hold sustained fire of a class 8 debilitator and two heavy flashpoints. With a powercore of 8500 u.s, chances are you wouldn't run out of energy very quickly.

And then the bad:
Do note however, this ship has a weak hull. Taking damage is not an option, jousting is suicide. It will die to a single nuke, so you better be good at dodging.
Also, the ship has horrible cargo capacity. Equipping an AU8 will result in ZERO cargo space left for any cargo whatsoever.

Overall this ship is an awesome Light Fighter and has taken over the Liberator as my all time favourite Light Fighter. Seriously, just buy one.

As a last remark, it is a must for lulzing around. Pimp it with strobe lights and annoy the heck out of anybody. I personally place two strobe lights on the dock lights, which can be turned on and off at will now thanks to the devs. This enables me to activate my (inRP) "Anti-targeting flares" where flashing lights will reduce anybody's capacity to aim. With strobe lights on, it is nigh-impossible to hit.}}

{{Review|[[User:Onca|Onca]]|The Hayabusa looks like a canoe with ears, and it is about the same size. You wonder how this thing could possibly be spaceworthy, and how the pilot can see past the CD launcher mounted right in front of his nose.

Make no mistake though: this ship is fun to fly. You'll be virtually unhittable. But with only 3 guns it is just too underpowered for its own good. The power capacity is generous so with 3 guns you can keep shooting all day, but one-on-one fights will end in stalemate as you can't take your opponent down and he can't hit you. Even shooting high-level NPCs becomes a chore.

That said, Hayabusa is a dream ship for vanguard faction members or the odd Freelancer who likes to scout around in hostile territory. In combat, the best use of this gnat-sized thing is a support craft: Loaded with shield-busters, or a highly mobile missile platform. Either way you'll buzz around your opponent, and your comrades will laugh as they watch him try to shoot you in vain. Just mind he doesn't hit you; the hull is made of rice paper and the puny cargo space precludes using the largest armor upgrades.}}

Hi there, Discovery trendsetters!

I've been into Discovery, off-and on, for a while, since June '06 in fact. Best mod ever, and great to see it's still going strong after many years. I don't do factions so much these days... too much effort. I go solo, drifting around Sirius like a space-bum.

I have a soft-spot for the Corsairs... when I joined the server, there were no strong Corsair factions, but a hellava lot allied with Outcasts. And when we started TBH we copped *alot* of ass-woopin'. Look at them now.... ;)

But anyway, I don't bite... if ya see me out there, give me a holler!

==The Brotherhood's history==

There are a lot of fellowships among the Corsairs. The Brotherhood proudly claim to be one of the oldest ones. They are a militant group of radical Corsairs who prefer to achieve their goals by force than by using diplomatic ways as diplomacy has repeatedly proved to be useless and has led to corruption rather than to its intended goals.

The Brotherhood is led by a group of older and skilled Corsairs, the Elders. They are the most respected ones among the rest of brothers, but once they get too old, they optionally step aside and let the younger ones take their place. The word of the Elder is a rule and is always obeyed.

Their sworn enemies are the [[Outcasts|Outcasts]], [[Bretonia|Bretonians]] and [[Rheinland|Rheinlanders]]. Brotherhood members take every chance to fight them but this is not the only way to make them weaker. During its history The Brotherhood has fought many battles including some in Rheinland

==Faction Details==

===Identification===

===Equipment Restriction===

* Always prefer Corsair weapons and equipment, we are lucky that the spectrum is quite wide. Never use any kind of Nomad equipment! Risk of possible infestation is too high! Research by the Order is continuing on nomad guns to make them safe. For now, we wait until the Order have made a 100% safe version of nomad technology.

===Brotherhood Fleet===

* Battleship Prox (decommissioned) - The oldest [[Osiris|Osiris]] class battleship of the Brotherhood, commanded by Elde Alexander, decommissioned and replaced by Altaneria, used fot the protection of Gamma, helped in many victories

==Description==
The Temporary Autonomous Zoners are a group of esoteric Zoners who believe that the ancient [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(mythology) Greek Goddess Eris] is alive and well in the Sirius Sector. The "TAZ" have embraced the religion of Discordianism as outlined in their Sacred Holy Tome, the [http://www.principiadiscordia.com/book/1.php"Principia Discordia"].

The "TAZ" are also followers of the ancient Terran prophet [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakim_Bey Hakim Bey], who coined the term [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporary_Autonomous_Zone "Temporary Autonomous Zone"], and they devoutly follow Bey's philosophy of [http://deoxy.org/hakim/ontologicalanarchy.htm Ontological Anarchy].

As the only Zoner-affiliated system-owning faction (not to mention our unique esoteric roots), The "TAZ" has opportunities and responsibilities quite different from most factions of Discovery.

The "TAZ" are respected members of the Zoner Community at large, and are active in the Council of Zoners.

==Discordianism, Ontological Anarchy, and you.==

The individual known to Discovery as [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showuser=1191 "Malaclypse 666"]has been a "practicing" Discordian for over 40 Terran years, since the day he picked up a lurid paperback off a twirly rack in a local grocery store. That paperback was titled [http://www.pauladaunt.com/books/Illuminatus/Wilson,%20Robert%20Anton%20&%20Shea,%20Robert%20-%20The%20Illuminatus!%20Tril.html "Illuminatus! ~ The Eye in the Pyramid"], written by two domesticated primates named Robert Shea and [http://rawilson.com/ Robert Anton Wilson].

Here, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity Synchronicity] kicked in. The individual read the lurid paperback, loved it immensely, and waited patiently for the promised second installment of the "Trilogy". He haunted bookstores. He looked everywhere, to no avail. Until, one day, in another supermarket, on another twirly rack, there it was, Part 2. Again, he was enthralled, and his addiction grew. Yes, the authors were virtual unknowns at the time, but still, one would think that maintream bookstores would take the plunge, right? Nope. This new emergent Discordian convert searched once more in vain for the final installment of the Trilogy.. But, by this time he was becoming familiar with the "ways" of this strange new Goddess and her new "Apostles".

By then, it was a different city, and a different grocery store, and there was this feeling....

Thus are coinkydinks, and Discordians, created.

An "alias" used by Malaclypse 666 on a brief time-travel visit to Terra circa 1996-1998, making use of the primitive "use.net" network to learn more about his own ancestry and ties to Discordianism.

(Historians believe these visits account for the enexplained absences of the Episkopos. "He liked to fish.")

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism#Five_tons_of_Flax '''Flax''']

In the Principia Discordia, "Five tons of flax" is given as the answer to the question, "Is there an essential meaning behind POEE?" (This is a reference to a Zen story about "Three pounds of flax.")

Discordians have since taken "Five tons of flax" as an absurd slogan or as a universal answer to philosophical questions.

"Flaxscript" is also depicted as a genuine form of scrip, serving to avoid the use of government-issued currency.

[http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2136# '''Fnordette''']

A first approximation: In Heinlein's "Number of the Beast" an AI denoted "Gay Deceiver" was actually a ship wrapped around an AI, which was also mounted with a "Burroughs Continua Device".

Gay Deceiver was capable of "flight" into alternate realities.. realities which were "constructs" created by all the consciousnesses that believed them to be real. One such reality became a beloved place, the Land of Oz.

Here, Gay Deceiver became a "sentient being", and was also given the ability to change her appearance at will, through conscious thought. The Discovery Universe has many visitors and adherents through Freelancer and Discovery. Have we created a future inhabited by Cardimine, and sleeper ships, tradelanes and docking rings?

Now, Eris was a good friend to Glinda of Oz. When Eris decided to reinstate Herself in the 8th Century A.S., and found her unwitting Pawn in Lightfoot, She already had her plan in place. Eris would download all Her history, from the time of Atlantis and Lemuria, to the final battle of the Hodge and Podge on Terra.. the Alliance and the Coalition, into Lightfoot's ship. She also downloaded her Essence, and her Wisdom. The ship "became" the Goddess.

Things changed with the advent of the F.N.O.R.D. (Fractal Neurolinquistic Obfuscation & Randomization Device) Mark XXIII Transponders. These 23cm self-propelled titanium globes were also downloaded from Lightfoot's "Discordia" program, and became here "children", in a sense. Mother Discordia herself saw the advantage of these compact, indestructible packages, and eventually transferred to one herself.

'''Pistle/Whiss''' or [http://www.rawilson.com/grummet.html '''"Whistle/Piss"''']

A term which refers to a Holy broadside of the Prophet Celine entitled [http://rawilson.com/whistlepiss.shtml "Never Whistle While you're Pissing".]

It's worth repeating twice.

[http://www.principiadiscordia.com/book/1.php'''Principia Discordia''']

The "Holy Tome" of the Erisians in Sirius. Not sure why, as it's very silly. So silly that it became "proscribed and villified" by the Cabbabe population.

Printed copies were soon hoarded. Regular publishing networks wouldn't touch it.

in 814 A.S. an enterprising Discordian known only as "XII" wrote a smashing musical based on the Principia, which didn't catch on for some reason.

Finally, the TAZ had to turn to a growing yet illicit underground publisher on the remote Zoner Research station, Ames, in Kepler.

In 816, a companion to the DPD [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1422743250837892881 "Maybe Logic"] by the Prophet Wilson was introduced.

The TAZ went from giving the PD/ML chips away, to finding they had created an interest, and a lucrative market.

At present the Principia/Maybe disk accounts for 17 percent of sales for Ames.
