Tau-23

[Schatten Research Facility]

Spazzy's picture is saved for the future generations of mankind to enjoy.

Also, you'll notice that T23 is almost always a gankfest. When it isn't a swarm of CR bombers that decide that five isn't enough to take out a pirate transport, it's a pair of Ranseurs and ten tridentes chasing a nyx.

Probably won't help that Order and BHG CORE are moving into the region in preparation for that Gallic mess, or that the Gallic unlawfuls feel so bad about being gallic that they move out to antagonize people in the taus. Oh, and let's not forget the odd Council Cruiser that goes OMG OUTCAST ENGAGING!

Don't forget about the odd privateer that decides that his mission of disrupting Kusari trade involves shooting at IMG miners that are actually mostly exporting niobium to Rheinland.

Also, KNF, GC, Hogosha, and a mix of others have been known to grace the Taus with their presence, though usually they're off in Leeds.

Long story short, T23 is a huge melting pot of people that have a reason to shoot at each other, but are too scared to shoot at each other until they're confident that they have more numbers than the other. It's a natural conclusion to what's been happening, and it's a vicious cycle for which no particular party can be exclusively blamed.

OH! Almost forgot that TAZ and junkers also frequent T23, but only for trade and they're usually either quietly trading or busy getting shot at - though I haven't ever seen them ever return fire or anything.
