Biography:
Born on our homeland, left for the exodus. Arrived in Sirius and chased out of our new home. That's more or less sums up what happened to me in the past few years. Granted, when I left Crayter, I was merely a child then and not much could be remembered. But the image of the 2nd exodus from the Taus still remain fresh in my mind.
The year was 818 AS, the year Gallia invaded. I had graduated from flight school and helped my mother, Jessica Silt, run a small cargo delivery service in our home in Tau-44 on Planet Borneo, Cassavia district. We delivered basic foodstuff and necessities to the stations within Tau-44 using a CVO 2000 "Dolphin" shuttle, capable of atmospheric take-off without the need of an Ageira based docking system. Occasionally, I get to meet my father, Jonathan Silt, on Sulawesi, he was a military pilot.
When the Gallics invaded, everyone was rushed to evacuation points around Borneo. My mother and I did what we can to help the evacuation process using our shuttle, helping ferry farmers in isolated areas of Borneo to evacuation points around the planet. When it finally came to our turn to board the evacuation craft, we were on one of the last Celestras to leave the planet.
Upon leaving the atmosphere, we were thrown into a hail of fire, streaks of blue and red marked out the fire of each side. Soon, we saw the blue outnumber the red, Gallic ships came by the hundreds.
We thought we would be safe as refugees on a civilian ship, I could never have been more wrong. Just minutes upon planetary undock, the ship shook violently, a wing of Gallic fighters started engaging our shuttle formation. We saw a Celestra beside us go down in flames under fire from a Gallic ship of a similar size, all the innocents inside, went down with it.
Our ship was badly damaged from constant fire by the Gallic fighters. The captain reported a coolant leak and a non-critical core failure. We thought we were done for.
Just then, a wing of Nyxes came out and took down one of the fighters. From the tiny porthole on the Celestra I could see the colours of the Nyxes. It was my father's squadron. They drew attention away from our ship and tried to pin the Gallic forces down, suffering heavy casualties to ensure our ship's escape.
I have never heard from my father or saw him since that day. The military reports him as missing in action and probably dead, I like to think otherwise.
Relevant Experience:
I have graduated from Borneo Interstellar Flight School and am capable of flying "C" class vessels which includes anything similar sized or smaller than a bomber. I have experience flying atmospheric entry-reentry shuttles.
Your reasons for applying to the Military:
I have seen with my own two eyes the atrocities of the Gallic threat. I have bore the effects of their evils. I am here to pay them back, as the saying goes "For those we left behind".

3) How often do you normally play/come online for?
My timezone is weird, GMT+8. I come online at 16 GMT and leave at around 20 GMT. As a student, I don't have much time to play, as a person living in GMT+8, I tend to miss a lot of the server activity.
