| − | ==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].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The "TAZ", being the only religiously driven faction of the Zoners,[[Image: Baffin3-2.jpg|thumb|Fig 1: Baffin from Shasta Orbital Skyhook|330px]] have opportunities and responsibilities quite different from most factions of Discovery. Being a faction the TAZ have access to their own home system, known as Baffin. While the system is safe for the public, the TAZ hold Pueblo Bunito as their exclusive sanctuary. Use of this base by anyone other than TAZ is considered tresspassing and liable to be shot.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The "TAZ" are respected members of the Zoner Community at large. For a time the "TAZ" were a part of the "Council of Zoners" but due to the retirement of Malaclypse the Council quickly descended into an entity that the "TAZ" were no longer comfortable to be part of. Now the "TAZ" are widely known for their religious beliefs and dedicated efforts in protecting their own, instead of their voice on the Council.

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.
