The home planet of [[Unioc|Uniocs]].

The native people are known as Uniocs in Galstandard West, a dialect heavily influenced by English. They are known as Uniocs instead of Others as they figured being called "One-Eye" was better than "Foreigner" [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-06-27 2013-06-27].

=Description=
[[File:ghanj-rho.png|right|link=http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2002-01-06]]
'''Ghanj-Rho''' is the world where [[Carbosilicate Amorph|carbosilicate amorphs]] arose, along with their symbiotic partners, the eye trees. Both evolved from the handiwork of the [[Bradicor]], Ghanj-Rho's dominant life-form -- a race now all but extinct. Another notable race of Ghanj-Rho are the [[Metisoids]], a duck-billed creature that gives birth cranially. The world has a fairly low technology base, and has multiple ruling factions [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-11-16 2001-11-16]. It is located in the eastern spiral arm of the [[Milky Way]] [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-11-24 2001-11-24] , and has one natural satellite [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2002-01-16 2002-01-16]

=History=
Until relatively recently this ancient system was under the nominal rule of [[Unioc|Uniocs]], who maintained control of their veritable pirate haven by virtue of owning the largest weapons. [[Petey|Petey ]]and [[Massey Reynstein]] changed all that -- Petey destroyed Colonel Gam Tretternoth, and Massey put the Bradicor elder, [[Rod]], in charge through legal machinations.
= =
=Native Species=
* [[Carbosilicate Amorph|Carbosilicate amorphs]]
* [[Bradicor]]
== ==
==Ornithology==
Ornithologists might be hard-pressed to positively classify any of Ghanj-Rho's harblewheezers (the common harblewheezer, duffle-downy harblewheezer, eastern harblewheezer, puck-freckled harblewheezer, or the elusive slandy-juicing harblewheezer) as 'birds,' per se, given their complete lack of that peculiar cellular buckling structure that gives rise to proper feathers. Even the duffle-downy harblewheezer is not so much 'downy' as it is 'hairy.' Still, as far as most of the rest of us are concerned, they lay eggs, fly, and defecate whilst airborne, so birds they must be.

Harblewheezer eggs have a curious protein lining inside the shell that serves to make the harblewheezer hatchling quite smelly and offensive to the taste of even the most indiscriminating of Ghanj-Rho's omnivores (that means amorphs). Thus, having a broken harblewheezer egg in your mouth would lead you to hurl pretty much involuntarily (assuming you were an amorph, which some readers have expressed a wish to be [and this phenomenon continues to baffle the sociology staff here at Schlock Mercenary]). Yuck.

It's interesting to note that the names for the various (we'll go ahead and call them) birds of Ghanj-Rho have the same sort of absurd, 'did-you-sound-that-out-before-writing-it-down' naming as birds elsewhere in the galaxy (hairy woodpecker, or tufted titmouse, anyone?). This is easily explained. The sort of people who go out of their way to spot birds and draw pictures of them in field books are just plain bent.

Tagon's Toughs

[[File:TagonLogoLayered.png|right]]
=Tagon's Toughs=
"Travel the galaxy, meet new and interesting life-forms, and then kill them." (company charter, per [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2003-07-29 2003-07-29])

=Description=
'''Tagon's Toughs''' is a mercenary company currently owned by [[Captain Kaff Tagon]], though it has at various points been owned by [[Admiral Breya Andreyasn|Breya Andreyasn]] and [[Sergeant Schlock]]. Roughly seventy people are in the company's employ, and most of them are human. They are divided into '''''officers''''' (commissioned) and '''''grunts''''' (enlisted), where the officers are stakeholders in the company.

=History=
Three years after its founding, '''''Tagon's Toughs''''' recruited its first [[carbosilicate amorph]], [[Sergeant Schlock]], and was very shortly thereafter acquired by [[Admiral Breya Andreyasn|some entrepreneurs]] who thought a mercenary company would make a great marketing tool.

Tagon's Toughs was at first licensed to perform mercenary work by the [[Celeschul Defense Services]] (which Captain Tagon had served in), but their license was revoked in the aftermath of their destruction of the [[Hypernet Televised Reality Network|HTRN]] building [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-06-01 2006-06-01]. Soon afterwards, they received a new mercenary license from [[Petey]] [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-08-04 2006-08-04].

==Other notable appearances==
* The group was officially identified by this name on [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-06-18 2000-06-18] during Breya's hostile takeover.
* The logo for Tagon's Toughs was first created by Kevyn on [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2004-11-08 2004-11-08] and show to the Toughs on [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2004-11-19 2004-11-19]. However, this was an alternate timeline that ended up never happening, and it is unknown when the logo was introduced in the current timeline.
* [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-09-30 2001-09-30] - Schlock negotiates with Fez Bejo, and licenses out the Toughs for a cartoon series. This has come back to bite him on the... well, to bite him [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-05-21 2009-05-21]
* [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-05-06 2001-05-06] - Tagon's Toughs are named agents of the court in their lawsuit against the Partnership collective. Basically, they get paid to kill attorneys.

=Author's Note=
In A LITTLE IMMORTALITY: SCHLOCK MERCENARY BOOK 17, we are introduced to a numbering convention for the ships that the Toughs have had. Here's the draft.

* TT01 - Kitesfear
* TT02 - Post-Dated Check Loan
* TT03 - Serial Peacemaker
* TT04 - Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance (technically a facility or station, but we're numbering it anyway)
* TT05 - Touch-and-Go
* TT05-06 - Touch-and-Go, after refit
* TT07 - Bristlecone
* TT08 - Broken Wind
* TT09 - Neosynchronicity
* TT07-10 - Cindercone
* TT08-11 - [name withheld, it's a refit of Broken Wind]
* TT12 - [name withheld]
* TT13 - [name withheld]

The numbering works like this:

TT = Tagon's Toughs

The first number, 01, is the acquisition number of the ship, OR the acquisition number of the ship from which the current ship is based.

The second number is the acquisition number of THIS ship, and is only used in cases where there's a refit, a re-used name, or migrated components.

Thus TT05-06 means "This is the sixth ship the Toughs have had, and it's a refit of the fifth ship."

TT07-10 means "This is the tenth ship the Toughs have had, and even though the only thing that came across from the seventh ship was the AI, we want to reflect that in the numbering."
