Ygryn Taz

The most important negotiations are settled over dinner, a lesson that Taz learnt at his mother’s knee in their rural home on the outskirts of Federation space. Tube Grubs that settled a trade dispute, hasperat that secured security against pirates, sweet potato pie that decided who would host the harvest festival; Taz travelled the galaxy at his mother’s old wooden table. The peace and safety that his mother’s myriad of recipes helped secure still lingered in Taz’ nostrils as he took those first steps in the academy and the scent continues to this day as he steps up to the centre chair; the power of simple labour and honest truths that was once his mothers signature now his own.
