Dear Gallic Royal Navy High Command,

I hereby hand out my application:

I. Personal Information

Name: Louis Ledoux

Planet/Station of birth: Planet Quillan, Laval

Current location of residence: Anjou, Planet Angers

Current occupation: Gallic Royal Navy Trainee

Quick background summary:

Louis Ledoux was born in Languedoc on Planet Quillan in 797 AS. Since 699 AS, when mining operations on Quillan's surface proved to be profitable, his mother's family settled down in a small settlement, called "Laval", where they earned their livelihood as miners, being employed by the Gallic Metal Service. Like their parents, his mother, Yaelle Dupont, became an employee at GMS as secretary. In 796 AS, she married the Gallic Royal Navy officer, Cédric Ledoux and one year later, she gave birth to Louis. During the Second Gallic War in 804 AS, his father disappeared in the battle against the Council near Planet Marne when Louis just started school. Since the rebellion had taken most of the GRN forces away from Languedoc, and due to the lack of defensive installations, the Council started their assault on Dauphine in late 806 AS. With the disruption of the gallic communications and the destruction of Bourgon-Jallieu Station, where even civilians got killed, Yaelle feared her nine years old son to be in danger, and sent him to her grandparents, who were still living in Laval on Quillan. In 813 AS, the Council sent their capital fleet through the jump gates into Languedoc, without being bothered by the unprepared GRN. His mother, who was at that time working on Remoulin, got successfully evacuated into gallic core space in time, before the Station got destroyed by an exploding fuel tank which got hit during a fight nearby. When the Council finally arrived at Planet Quillan in 815 AS, the GRN needed any man who reached his 18's to defend the planet's surface. And so it came, that Louis got assigned to wear the GRN uniform without any training. Heavy armed but badly trained, being still half a child, he got sent into open combat to defend his birthplace Laval. Though, the increasing number of Councils and their "waiting tactics" forced the defenders to surrender. Being a prisoner of war, Louis heard the news about the large battle near Montpellier Guard Station and the Council's aim to create a path to Sirius. In 817 AS, their plans came true, and they managed to break a route through the minefields. Thus, the isolation from the rest of human civilization, which lasted for over seven hundred years, was over. After the "Reunion", it only took a few months for the GRN, to take back control of Languedoc. When his mother returned home, he told her about his plans to start a career as fully employed pilot at the GRN. At first she was sceptical, considering the memories of Cédric's death, but she knew that she won't have that much influence on her son's decisions, and therefore agreed on it. After a two-years-long training in Anjou, Louis was prepared to fill in the application at the primary Gallic Royal Navy fleet.

Motivation for joining his majesty's Gallic Royal Navy:

On Quillan, during the Second Gallic War, I've experienced how important an efficient and of course steadily growing military house force is. And so I've decided to be part of it. Furthermore, it is obvious, that the Navy needs any hand they can get, since the war against Bretonia has to be won without great losses. I wish to be the King's sword and shield in difficult times like these.
