CDI) - Recruitment for the Civil Defence Initiative - Civil Defence Initiative - 12-22-2023

The Civil Defence Initiative

ID: BPA.
IFF: BPA.
Name: CDI)Rank-Firstname.Lastname, CDI)HMC-Shipname

1. Background

The Civil Defence Initiative is a civilian security militia that falls under the purview of the Bretonian Police Authority.

Bretonia has shambled from crisis to crisis over the last two decades, finding itself the subject of multiple wars of aggression, a genocide, separatism and widespread popular unrest. It has resorted to a range of desperate measures to defend itself and the sovereignty of the House, including rationing, conscription, imperial expansion, colonising Sprague... and the CDI.

As the Armed Forces insatiably consumed qualified pilots, it cannibalised the best the BPA had to offer, while simultaneously pulling out of dangerous frontiers like Dublin and Omega-3 to reinforce the front line. To plug this dangerous security void, a militia of Special Constables was founded, largely consisting of poor and lower class pilots from Sprague, corporate escorts, and those excluded from military service by age, medical status, temperament or citizenship.

These pilots were frequently thrown into the worst environments Bretonian policing had to offer, with a reflective casualty rate. While those dark days of carnage are now (largely) behind the CDI, the post-war BPA remains a shadow of its former self, gutted of years of hard-won institutional knowledge and experience by war losses. Due to this, the political will to abolish the CDI has not yet coalesced, despite frequent criticisms of poor performance, lack of training and corruption. Despite this, the CDI remains a useful pool of manpower to throw at problems to this day.

2. Creating a Constable:

When joining the CDI, you're first and foremost creating a character, a human being with motivations and history. Not just a ship with guns on it. To help with that, we've listed a few different backgrounds or features that CDI pilots might have in common. You can use these as inspiration or a starting point for your own creation:

RE: CDI) - Recruitment for the Civil Defence Initiative - McKarnigan - 12-22-2023

Name: Timothy Appletree
Age: 37 (Looks like he has 50)
Place of Birth: New London
Place of Residence: New London
Professional Experience (if any): chronically unemployed
Motivation for Enlisting: Without a known profession, Timothy has only known misery and a bad life.
With an addiction to losing bets and a certain degree of alcoholism, he ended up in a recruiting office trying to prevent some thugs from beating him for delaying the payment of a debt.
Timothy sees the service as an easy way to make money by receiving bribes and keeping part of the fines.
He is 37 years old, but a life of excess and poverty has left him old and skinny. His first objective after joining will be to pay his debts, spend the rest of the money on whores and gambling, and if there is anything left over, get his front teeth. what they are missing and correct his pronounce a th sound as an s when speaking

RE: CDI) - Recruitment for the Civil Defence Initiative - Jazzi - 12-22-2023

Name: Sian Breacon
Age: 30
Place of Birth: Graves Station
Place of Residence: Planet Cambridge
Professional Experience (if any): I've flown with Bowex's ExSec for a proper stretch for a few years ago, spent a few months with boots on the ground on Leeds after the relief run Bowex made. I took a round, and after recovery have been babysitting transport captains since. Boring.
Motivation for Enlisting: I'm keen to get back into a cockpit and doing what I can to keep folks safe. I've got some old mates in the CDI and seems to me like the best place to do some 'good works'. Tagging along with Hudson, I've been given a taste of the 'Blues and Two's' and I doubt theres any going back from that. So, stop reading this tosh of my swanning myself and give me a badge already. Let's get knocking some skulls together.

Mr Appletree

Thank you for your application to enlist in the Civil Defence Initiative. Having reviewed your application, I am happy to invite you for appraisal and processing on Planet Sprague.

Ms Breacon

Thank you for your application to enlist in the Civil Defence Initiative. Having reviewed our service records, I can see you previously held a militia warrant as a contractual extension of an employment with Border World Exports ExSec. We've received a copy of your Bowex personnel file, and contingent on that good reference, we are happy to reinstate your warrant with a rank of sergeant.

Please make your way to Stanbrook Hall, Wharerdale and we will run you through the necessary steps to get things moving. If you require assistance with transit to Planet Sprague, please let me know and we will arrange reimbursement of your public transit costs from a Bretonian planet or station of your choosing. Once you have met with your duty inspector, you will be issued with your reactivated warrant card.

Yours sincerely

Name: Travis Felts
Age: 25
Place of Birth: New London
Place of Residence: New London
Professional Experience (if any): Short employment in the Armed Forces
Motivation for Enlisting: After I was deemed "no longer necessary to the war effort" and given the "privilege to return home" by the Armed Forces following the end of the war, I have no where else to use the only experience I got, which was a hastened training and small background in the Forces. I am definitely not returning back home to spend the rest of my life in some factory on the planet. Independent freelancing and contracting isn't cutting it anymore, and I figure you lot will offer the best chance to get me back on my feet, through whatever bounty money I can make, taking down criminals.

Ms Wells

Thank you for expressing interest in the Civil Defence Milita. I've spoken with my supervisor and he agrees we can move you to a provisional interview and assessment, but we will need a few additional details before you arrive at Wharferdale.

Can you confirm the dates and the garrison fleet for your Armed Forces service?
What were the circumstances of your departing Armed Forces service?
Can you provide additional detail on your post-Armed Forces employment, i.e. information about your experience with the Omegas.
Is your pilot accreditation currently active and valid, i.e. not disqualified or withdrawn.
Do you own your own ship? If so, is it fit for active service? Can you travel to Planet Sprague?
Please provide the contact details for your Department of Work unemployment officer.

Yours sincerely

RE: CDI) - Recruitment for the Civil Defence Initiative - Karst - 10-21-2024

Okay I think I can answer all this

1 and 2

So i wasnt in the service or anything, my foster parents are both officers and sgined me up for basic evualtion training or w/e its called, and i got good marks on most of the coursework but it didnt feel like the right fit for me. The training centre is the Deori Cadet School its here in Toffingborough NL like 40km from Escott, and we did flight training mostly from Gateshead and one time we went to the Norfolk. I started the course 13. 6. and I dont know exactly when I left but like three weeks in or smthg.

Actually that was before not after. I grew up on GC and my mother was a shipper and I flew with her sometimes so I know some places around that area.

Yes i have a class 1-3 lisense thats active and i only need one more test to finish class 6 that is in a week. I have to be on London then so i hope thats np

Yes I have a CB-2 Havoc thats under my name but its a month or so from MOT check and it prolly needs service before then. I can for sure get to Sprague but yeah needs some work soonish.

Ms Wells

Thank you for the further details. We are very familiar with Mr Keston, thank you for confirming that. Having reviewed the supplementary information and carried out a licence check, I can confirm that we're happy to move you along to pilot assessment and formal interview with one of our wing commander inspectors.

If you could make your way to Planet Sprague, we'll be able to make the relevant accommodations. In the event that you pass assessment and induction, you will be issued with a warrant card as a special constable. We'd also need to carry out a basic readiness inspection on your ship, at which point you wouldn't need to worry about the MOT any more.

Yours sincerely

I'm eager to contribute to the community, work in a dynamic, diverse environment, and aspire to one day pilot a spacecraft.
