Biography:

My name is Zalman Hummel. Perhaps you've heard of me. My name is quite ... well known in Leeds.
I was born there to a family of 6. It was a hard life, but we survived. My dad was one of the underbosses of a well known crime faction in Leeds. I doubt it's still around, but in it's hey day, it controlled half of the Southern District.
In those days, after the Nomad threat had been realized, and Kusari started it's war with Bretonia, there was ... chaos.
Crime didnt pay well when everyone on the street carried a loaded gun, so my da sent me to Stokes Smelter to "work that childishness" out of my bones.
I worked hard there, shoveling the coal to keep smelting all that ore and doing my part for Bretonia, but something always seemed off.
Even after I was sent on a Shetland to carry ore from Dublin, I found no enjoyment from my work, though I loved being in space.
What I hated the most was how I did all the hard work, and watched it all trickle away into the hands of the faction leaders, who took more than they needed.
It was then that I learned of socialism, and it's role. I had shed the skin of the pampered crime bosses child, worn the skin of the disgruntled trader, and now, decided to become a miner in a collective.
That is why I came to IMG, to pursue my interests in a honest pay for honest work.

Outline the Independent Miners Guild goals: (your answer)
As a socialist organization, they try to ensure there is no "elite" tier which gets the majority of the profits while the rest is split up amongs the rest.
Instead, the pay ranks are equalized as much as possible (with small nods to extra effort/difficulty/danger)
In addition, as they are a loose confederation of miners, they need to allow them their autonomy while also requiring them to react when needed.
Since they are relatively neutral, a lot of lawfuls and unlawfuls are friendly with them; they need to make sure they stay separated and uninformed of the relationships (especially Gallia which is the sleeping dragon when it comes to the Colonial republic).

What can you contribute while inside the Guild ? (your answer)
I feel that my experience at Stokes and abourd a Shetland would give me a good idea of how to mine. And my fervent support of the proletariat would help push the ideals of the IMG to the forefront of Sirius.

Which are your personal reasons for joining the Guild ? Also, which IMG Department would you like to be part of ? (you can select only one department)
From my colleages at Stokes, I learned of Marx, and Engels, and their philosophies. I learned of how effective the Coalition had been with Communism fueling their economic machine that had pushed the Alliance back. I decided to join the IMG to pursue my love of mining and to ensure the rights of the worker are maintained. After living in a crime family, I had lost my taste for the unsavory business done in the seedy underbelly, and was committed to finding an honest job. I would like to join the Mining Departments (though the Paramilitary also sounds interesting)
