Line 8:
Named after Schlock, an alien shaped like a pile of crap with eyes and a mouth who joins "Tagon's Toughs", a space-faring [[Private Military Contractors|mercenary]] outfit. The cast includes the aforementioned Kaff Tagon, [[The Captain]] of the group, Commander Kevyn Andreyasn, inventor of the "teraport" system and all-around [[Mad Scientist]], Ennesby, a former virtual boy band turned ship's AI, and many others.
 
Consistent humor (it is ''very'' quotable) and we mean ''consistent'' — Schlock has been running seven days a week without missing a day since theJune 12th of June12, 2000 - eleven years. Sometimes it gets slightly political, but never partisan. Let's just say it's not for people who think governments deserve sympathetic treatment. This is a world where the only respected authority is the one with the larger gun - in other words, the perfect world for a mercenary company.
 
Howard Tayler has given enthusiastic permission to [[John Ringo]] to write about the [[First Contact]] days. Titled ''[[Troy Rising]]'' and planned as a trilogy, it consists of ''[http://www.webscription.net/chapters/1439133328/1439133328.htm?blurb Live Free or Die]'', ''[http://www.webscription.net/chapters/1439134006/1439134006.htm?blurb Citadel]'' and ''[http://www.webscription.net/chapters/A9781439134320/A9781439134320.htm The Hot Gate]''. Ringo's enjoying himself, so there will be [[Trilogy Creep|more than three books in this trilogy.]] However, the two worlds have drifted apart and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120930075539/http://schlockmercenary.wikispaces.com/FAQ Troy Rising is not currently considered canonical within the Schlock universe.] Though Tayler still considers the books a [[Spiritual Licensee]].
