[CaptainAlamo]

Name: Captain Alamo
Age: 28
Citizenship: Liberty

Biography: Born on planet Manhattan as an only child, my father Robert Grant served on board a Liberty Navy Gunboat as first officer during the Nomad War. In 802 he left the Liberty Navy after having grown discontent with LN leadership during the war due to poor command and execution of LN operations during that time. With much post war distrust of the Liberty Government due to Nomad infiltration, Grant decided to take his wife and young son out of Liberty. He then became a freelance ship Captain, buying his own transport and shipping parts or passengers from Bretonia to Liberty and vice versa, basing himself in Leeds.

In 809 A.S. he agreed to take a job transporting regular alloy into the Taus, as jobs had become fewer and fewer for him(whereas he would never had travelled so far into the border worlds for employment). Just before arriving at Java Station his ship was attacked by ruthless Outcasts demanding cargo and payment. Even after complying, they attempted to destroy the vessel. The ship took great damage, and Grant was killed as a result. His young son, also Robert, took control of the ship and returned fire with little hope of surviving the encounter. After destroying several fighters, an Outcast gunship had the vessel all but listing in space when an IMG patrol arrived to offer assistance. Radio chatter from Outcasts before they withdrew claimed the hopeless fight reminded them to ‘remember the Alamo’, another hopeless last stand battle from ancient Earth history. The ship was barely able to be escorted to Java.

Now stranded in Tau-23, mourning his father’s death, the younger Robert was forced to sell the vessel for scrap and invest in a smaller craft for the return trip to his mother back in Leeds. However, his skills in fighting off the attack on his own had been recognized by local IMG fighter squadrons and it was recommended that he join the fight against the Outcasts in that system. With little choice, a new found hatred for the Outcasts and the need to make some compensation for the lost cargo to send home to his mother, young Robert, now nic named ‘Alamo’ decided to train to fly combat missions against Outcast patrols in Tau-23.

After making some credits (finally) and returning home with the bad news to his mother Elizabeth, he decided to go back into space, to resume his work with the IMG. Against her protests of the dangers, this time he decided to make large amounts of money to expand his own private operations. With the purchase of a miner, and entrance into several trade agreements with local transports, ore shipments began to flow. Mining and escorting shipments became regular, evading and combating Outcasts and other pirates during many trips into the Colorado System.


Secondary Information:

Outline the Independent Miners Guild goals: Provide independent employment and application of technology within the border worlds for mining and security purposes. Research and development of new technology to make doing so more efficient. Combat unlawful pirating and terrorist attacks within all lawful IMG shipping routes and mining zones.

What can you contribute while inside the Guild: For quite some time I have been in command of an MEMV-971-AH "Arrastra" Civilian Heavy Miner, until just recently I had been mining in Tau-23, filling transports and still aim to mine when I have no other duties. After mining I would also offer escorting services with an IMG Gasherbrum gunboat. I have recently traded in the gunboat, and am in command of an IMGC-104D "Sagarmatha" Battle cruiser ‘Daedalus‘ based at Java Station. I intend to contribute to additional security to anywhere the IMG needs it against rogue groups and pirates threatening IMG operations.

Which are your personal reasons for joining the Guild: I have been a loyal IMG (npc faction) employee since beginning to fly in Sirius, working hard at mining and escorting to build money for a larger more powerful ship. I agree with the IMG goals and stance for operating and would enjoy being able to contribute more. With many frequent battles against Oucasts in Tau-23 as of late, I aim to help shift the tide and provide better firepower for IMG in the conflict. If acceptable, I submit my battle cruiser Daedalus (Sagarmantha Class) to the Paramilitary Department.
