Tell us more about you (Biography, the longer the better):
Joseph Porta was born on the planet Stuttgart.
Son of two simple farmers, he didn’t liked the idea to stay and work the land. He worked alongside with his parents but he soon realized that he was not cut out for that; that he could do more then just help the parents at agriculture.
With time, Porta discovered how much he hated agriculture and that he had a natural skill for trading. He started some small illegal operations, but also he admired the life of a soldier and saw that as a life business opportunity. At a young age, Porta started to make friends from the Garrison troops settled on Stuttgart. He also met with other dealers, learning and developing his natural skill toward that of a military man.
After a few years, one of his friends from the Military took him inside a fighter cockpit and he spent some of his time inside the barracks, motivating him to become a pilot and a soldier. There is where he saw a lot of opportunities.
At the age of 16,Porta joined a flight school. His first specialization was civilian air vehicles. At that school, Porta showed some natural skills toward flying , quickly amassing the knowledge gained from the lessons of his instructors, graduating among the top five from his class.
At the age of 18,Porta found work as a pilot who dropped fertilizers. He didn’t worked long in that place, his mind reminding him that there was more then work in the food basket of Rheinland. He liquidated all his savings from the bank and with the blessings of his parents he started to wander in space.
Porta tried to find work among the Rheinland stations and planets, trying in many cities but all the work he found didn’t satisfied him. It was true that the money he earned was more then enough to sustain him, but he felt a hole in his heart and every time he saw pilots of the Rheinland Military he started to think on how he will look in a Military uniform.
He stayed on planet New Berlin for a few months; time spent on training himself to join the military. He adapted very fast at long periods of day and night presented on the planet; something abnormal for a boy born on planet Stuttgart. A few weeks later , he was spotted near the recruitment center of the Rheinland Military and with his training he was confident on his admission to the Academy.
After he stepped in he was not seen for four years, time when he learned all the things a pilot had to learn in order to survive on the battlefield and to maintain the stability and enforce the law in Rheinland space.
He was sent at the end of the training to the Battleship Strausberg where he awaits his new orders and to be transferred from the secondary fleet to the primary fleet.
Porta was first assigned to the Core Worlds of Rheinland but he was transferred to the Omega squadrons where he battled the Corsairs and the Hessian threat.
In the war with Liberty, Porta was among the first to be sent in the fight and he fought for a few weeks before a skirmish in Bering , Grid 3C. The squadron which Porta was assigned was attacked by Libertonians and the fight that ensure there continued in the neighboring Texas system. Among the ships dispatch , there was a Rheinland Bismark class ship.
With the new reinforcements, the Military pushed deep into Liberty space and near the planet Hudson they encounter the Liberty Defense Force. The battle was long and tedious but the Military pilots were holding their positions. New fighters joined the fight on both sides and the Wraiths were ordered to engage the newly arrived ships, the Gold Wing, composed of Liberty finest and toughest pilots.
The Wraiths were cut to pieces by a combination of Gold fire and three Libertonian Gunboats armed for close combat and Porta's Wraith was among the one shut down.
The pod was recovered by the Bismark ship and the Military forces were forced to retreat back to safety. Porta was transferred to New Berlin, to a Hospital as he was suffering injuries from the plasma burns and his bones on the right hand and and three ribs were broken , puncturing the lungs.
After his recovery , the Military doctors decreed that he is unfit to be a fighter pilot and was transferred to Ground Forces.
A few months later, Porta managed to get his transfer papers for the Garrison on Stuttgart and in the free time he was taking care of his family farm.
The war kept going but on planet Stuttgart there was no war and the days came in peace, a state that Porta started to enjoy. When the time to renew his application , he declined and he retreated to live a simple life of a farmer.
This lasted for a few months but in his mind a plan was starting , for expansion of his farm , a plan that needed credits and so , he was once again off world , trying to get a job to earn enough to build and to maintain his dream farm.
