more questionably, the Texaco Free Trade Zone.

Questionably because I've not given much detail; TFTZ continues to be
very
much a work-in-progress that keeps wanting to run off in unexpected
directions. An experience my author girlfriend has described to me
entirely
TOO often. ;->=

However, a few things tend to be consistent: the zone itself exists
beyond
a frontier in a deep space survey area, assume away from K and S
incursions, its activities and other-power interactions shadowy and
furtive.

It's size waxes and wanes greatly; it has strangely shifting agendas. On
the military side, it has been known to trade both services and
equipment,
but it's fleet is made up completely of former Texaco employees and
decendents, a wacky group who figure the company will 'rise again.'

Everyone is welcome to play with these folks, whether as simple
uninvited
guest in a local dispute, up to a shadow, interstellar presense similar
to
SFB's Orions, though that's a bit beyond my own vision.

Still, I don't think it fits the thread as I understand.

Oh, yeah, I'm back. ;->=
