I grew up on the planet Manhattan from a wealthy family. My mother was the leader of the InterSpace faction operations in Liberty. And my father was a well-known, strict commander of the Liberty Navy. When I was growing up, I felt that something was calling me to fight for nature, which was already being treated very badly by humanity. I was very sensitive to this because I saw that it could not defend itself against people. When I grew up, my father asked me to come for a talk, he was preparing a place for me in the Liberty Navy, but I felt that this was not my path and I opposed him. My mother also participated in this and seemed to support my father. I felt that this was not my place, despite the fact that I was raised here. I took everything I had, boarded my small civilian ship and flew away with the thought that I would never come back here. That's how I ended up in Manchester. While sipping a drink in the civilian station, I read the local news and about the action organized by the faction called Gaians. My surprise on my face was caught by Junker sitting at the table next to me, who approached me and asked with a smile on my face whether I want some information about the Gaians faction in exchange for a larger sum of credits. Money at that moment did not play any role. I agreed. Then, when I listened to the information about this faction, I felt unity with it, that there were people with my views, that at that time in Manhattan it was Holy Mother Gaia who called me and led me to find out about you. That is why I am sending an application to you, you are closer to me than my own family who disowned me. Best regards, Blake Smith

I was born and grew up on planet Pittsburgh, in the family of poor miners. My whole childhood and teen years I spent on this barren planet, learning how to do mining craft and how to survive in such harsh conditions. When I was a kid, my dad told me plenty of stories about living planets, filled with nature, animals, vast oceans and life all around. He told me about Gaia itself, how beautiful it is and that he saw it on his own eyes. I didn't believed him, but stories about such planets sparked my imagination a lot. While I was performing works on barren wastelands of Pittsburgh, I was constantly daydreaming about such wonders, thinking if I will ever be able to see one on my own eyes. As a young adult, I decided to hoard money on my own spaceship and fly away from this barren place, in search of better life and this beautiful nature I was told so much about. During my travel, I overheard some people talking about Gaians, a group dedicated to protecting said nature and worshiping it in a way. Not thinking much, I decided to contact them, trying to fill their ranks as maybe they will be my key to witness things I was dreaming about since I was a kid.
