*Please see attached my service record.
I was born 19 years ago during the year 797A.S on the Ahoudori class KNF: Okinawa. My parents were Bretonian who decided to move to Kusari. My father was the captain and my mother was the Chief engineer. The vessle was commissioned to explore the boarder and edge worlds and they were on the seventh year of the eight year mission. The Okinawa was probably one of the first Kusari ships to make first contact with the Nomads. A nomad battleship decloaked while we charted a nebula. They launched a volly of weapons fire before my father knew what was happening. Several hull breaches occurred on several decks. Father tried valliantly to fend off the aliens but their element of surprise and advanced technology quickly disabled Okinawa's weapons. With main power and life support failing my father gave the order to abandon ship. During all this my mother had gone in to labour due to the attack. She was quickly put onto an escape pod with doctors and they launched into space. Father and a few bridge officers decided to stay abord to try and destract the Nomads from the pods. They activated the Okinawa's self destruct systems and set course towards the Nomad ship. She exploded and the shockwave from the main engine core and the shards of melted metal crashed into the nomad ship, burning the organic hull and disabled the ship.
I grew up with my mother. Always hearing tales of my fathers bravery. I always dreamed of exploring the lightyears
of uncharted space. So after a years of hard work and a sizable donation from my family I bought and commissioned another Okinawa in honour of my fathers ship. She was also Ahoudori class. On her maiden voyage we passed through the Omega-3 on the way to Rheinland space. Shortly after passing Aland Shipyard I was attacked by two Das Wilde Scorpion class gunboats.They quickly disabled my shields and started to tear Okinawa apart. With major systems failing and most of my crew dead or dying, I abandoned ship. I watched as Okinawa exploded in a a gigantic fireball. The Wild ships left, clearly not interested in my pod. Aland Shipyard clealy saw the explosion on sensers and sent a vessle to investigate. They picked me up and I spent a week or so recovering. Once I was back on my feet I chartered a ship to Freeport 1. There I met a man who clearly saw I was troubled. I didn't know who he was. But he offered me a golden powder. He said ; "This will cheer you up a bit!".
It did more then that! It opened my eyes and heart to the Outcasts Golden Dream! I hitched a ride with this man on his Stiletto and soon I was on Malta. There I purchased a Sabre and have been laying down Outcast superiority since.
I may be young and inexperinced but I am a good pilot. I am not the best. But I hope to be and shall be! I have already had several skirmishes with IMG scum pilots. I have lost three Sabres to them. But i will become the best! I hope you will give me the opportunity to prove this! Whether it be in the TAU systems fending off the IMG and GMG. Or close to home in Omicron Eta fighting off the Corsairs.
My parents may not be outcast and I wasn't born an Outcast. Don't let that discriminate against my application! I AM an Outcast and my children shall be sons and daughters of Malta! Let me fly for you. I will prove my devotion to our Golden dream!
