Many come to Niigata Star City for a variety of reasons. Some seek fame out in the Sigmas, hoping to carve their legacy out of the Crow Nebula’s miasmic reaches. Many others seek fortune beyond their wildest dreams as Helium-3 turns to liquid gold after a brief refining process and a sale to the highest bidder. And still a good number of newcomers come seeking a clean slate, starting off fresh in a new land filled with opportunity.
You have your own reasons for coming here. But what matters now is that you finally arrived, standing just outside of the spaceport gate as the vessel that brought you here prepares to depart. The interior of the space colony is just as immaculate and splendorous as the brochures said they were, and as you travel further into the installation, the sudden rush of warm air overwhelms as you step into the gargantuan biocylinder, one of the few of its kind in Sirius. A giant blue and cloudy sky rises above you, with only the faintest visual hint of the armored duraglass protecting this Eden from the cold vacuum of space. Below this radiant sky is an intricate quilt of farms, all attended to by a mixture of human and robotic workers.
As you board a monorail that will take you to the heart of Niigata, you notice a small poster with a map of the Sigmas printed on it. The text beneath emphatically states “Reclaim our home! Make our nation whole!” The name of an organization, the Taiheiyo Consortium, rests at the bottom of the propaganda. As you are whisked away from the rolling countryside into a sprawling metropolis, you decide to pay a visit to this group’s headquarters in search of opportunity and direction in your new life out in the Sigmas.
Your quest leads you to a sizeable office in the heart of Niigata’s commercial district. The mounted neon sign of the Consortium’s signature symbol, a red circle rising within a larger red ring, confirms that you have arrived at your destination. Within the simple office, a small arrow points to a room labelled “RECRUITMENT” across the lobby. Stepping inside, you find a diverse group of fellow hopefuls sitting in a mixture of sofas and chairs, filling out forms and waiting patiently to be called. The Kusari receptionist beckons you over and hands you a datapad containing a recruitment form. You take a seat and ponder your decisions up to this point for a brief moment, before beginning your application.

The secretary thanks you for handing her the form, and looks over your answers ponderously. She comments on your form as she goes over it.
"Ah, a Rheinlander living in Kusari? We get many applicants just like you. It's always good to have someone already involved with the Guild in our ranks. And I'm sure your experience with... special deliveries will be most useful."
After a few seconds, she taps a small prompt on the datapad's screen and a small green check mark flashes. The secretary waves a hand to the door next to her.

Citizenship/Affiliation:Kusarian What role do you see yourself fulfilling in the Consortium?:Strikecraft pilot in the Security Division. Tell us about yourself (Just a paragraph or two):Born on the 24th of February, 790 A.S in the city of Kawasaki on Planet Honshu. Lee is the sole daughter to a couple of workers, working most of their day in Kishiro optronics facilities on the planet's surface. Lee underwent elementary education to secondary; consequently, enlisting in the local police academy. She spent a good year and a half in the academy until she was eventually graduated, put straight into active service afterwards as a cadet in the Kusari State Police.
Initially instated as a police officer on ground duty in her city, Kawasaki, she participated in various incidents ranging from riot control to handling hostage situations. Her achievements allowed her to be promoted on various occasions, eventually achieving the rank of inspector and commanding her own Special Assault Team. She signed up for the police's aerospace training program, getting reassigned to State Police space operations once the program was finished.
After spending 14 years in the police, she decided to retire and take a year for rest, spending most of it in resorts and vacation spots, spending most if not all of her money in the process; therefore, seeing the need to find a job again and fill both of her time and her pockets.
