Biography:
Roughly 27 Years ago, I saw the light of day on Planet Leeds. To be honest, this light was a rather dim and gloomy one, due to that ungodly smog there. My first memory is me sitting on the couch in that narrow living room, waving goodbye to my daddy. He was employed with BMM and thus left us for almost the enitre week, to return exhaustelty for the weekends. I guess that memory of mine must have been quite short before he left for one of his absences... his fate, was that of countless other employees of BMM. Beeing just a tiny cog in the huge machinery of that corporation, his earnings were quite humble. Although it was enough to keep our little families head over the water.
The idea of traveling the stars conveyed to me, when he and my uncle took me to a interstellar trip to the nearest asteroid field in one of the mining vessels. At the first glance out of that window on the obesevation lounge, I was stunned: What a marvelous sight! With my young eyes I glanced at the cosmic ballet seemingly just to be a stones throw away. What kind of working routine could render this environment ever to become dull?
To answer my unspoken question, my father then took the liberty to show me his workplace in the ship. It was down below in the cargo area, where parts of the mining machinery were stored - down in the belly of what seemed an dirt crusted, oil spilling monster, far away from the lights, the magic of the stars. Just as I was about to forget the glance of the stars, my daddy got me away from the cargo area.
Nevertheless, as soon as I got back to the more calm section of the ship, I was certain about what to do with my life. I wanted to be a part of the magic that was going on outside...
Back on the Planet I started to take school more serious: I now studied with the a clear goal before my eyes. I figured that I could get to see more of the stars and the lights with an activity area on a Spaceships bridge. This is why I kept focusing myself on astronomy and interstellar navigation. Upon my graduation from Leeds University with a degree in both subjects, I started applying as Navigator for several Independent vessels. Back then, the same like now, I really disliked the idea of working for a big faceless company.
About 3 Years ago I started working as Navigator on the "Fidelius", a Hegemon classed mining vessel.
Back then it was that I heard about the IMG for the first time. The capitan was friendly towards your Organisation. He started his career as Helium Miner, but eventually moved to the Omega 7 system. It turned out that he felt most comfortable there. Most of the time, he praised IMG most profusely.
Not long ago, he married a barmaid from Rheinland and retired. At his wedding he handed me big bunch of papers - he assigned me the ownership of the Fidelius.
Now I want to take that step that he never dared to do: write you and ask for official membership of your Guild.
Of course I could remain solo in that dusty system for all eternity, but that would not be not too much of a difference compared to Leeds, what do you think?
Secondary Information:
Outline the Independent Miners Guild goals:
The IMG is a group that wants to ensure, that every individual worker has best conditions to make his profit.
It is organised in wings to be independend from other authorities. They enforce the flow of trade to their self-employed members. Outcasts hate them
What can you contribute while inside the Guild ?
A Hegemon miner with a diligent crew with myself, a dyed-in-the-wool optimistic Capitan.
Which are your personal reasons for joining the Guild ? Also, which IMG Department would you like to be part of ?
My personal reason is that I know what I like, and I like what I do! Being outside and close to the stars. Flying a Spaceship. A quite big one. The reason why I want to join IMG is that I am the boss for my crew, that means I have to give them some work - not just idle flying around - and not to forget, I have to pay them! Also I like the idea of flying in an organised team, rather then alone.
I wish to be part of the Mining Department.
