Bio Maximilian Hofman
Born on planet Hamburg in 780 A.S.
Maximilian was part of a traditional Rheinland family. His parents , father Hermann Feldwebel in the Rheinland Military and assigned to the ground troops at Hamburg, and his mother Inga , nurse at a local hospital, were both loyal followers of the Kanzler and members of his Partei. Always discussion politic's at home Max was soon pressed into becoming another proud servant for the Kanzler's military.

Graduating school with 17 (after failing 9th class once) he was soon wrote up for a place in the military education camp at Hamburg to bridge the 1 year gap until he could apply to the military.

Learning the basic's of planetary warfare, marching for day's in the coldness of the northern part of hamburg, learning to shoot with armed weapons and to fight another man one on one were only a few things Maximilian had to get through at the camp.

After finally turning 18 his father went to the recruitment center on Hamburg with him, looking as proud as Max had just won a war all by himself.
798 A.S. and max was shipped to military training camp on New Berlin. Even though the ground stage of the training was difficult he mastered it along with 50 of his 80 fellow recruits.

Learning new tactics and combat moves faster than the average Rheinlander, Max soon found himself in the position of team leader. After a few more successful months he was assigned to the Rheinland Navy academy on New Berlin to become an officer. Finally realizing that he had talent for this "military stuff" he began to enjoy his time at the academy.

With the rank of Leutnant he was assigned to the RNC - Wagner and was serving there during the nomad war.
The Wagner itself was stationed in the Frankfurt system and was constantly fighting of Bundschuh and GMG attack's on the supply lines of the northern fleet. After the rapid end of the war, and the return to New Berlin the Wagner was decommissioned and Max was now ranked of Hauptmann.
He was given some time off and went to have a vacation on Hamburg.

804 A.S. he however returned to active duty and began to work aboard the Westfalen. Mainly training new recruit's there he quickly grew bored of it. Being a veteran by now, he loved the open combat and everything involved in it.

815 A.S. he got promoted to Kapitänleutnant and quickly applied for a different position. He was granted the command over the RNC-Döben, a gunboat class vessel. Mainly securing the Dresden jump gate and the surrounding fields from Hessian raiders the Döben did stay without major damages.

819 A.S. Maximilian had left the Döben as command needed him on the front line. Despit all their efforts the Rheinland Military was facing a hard time in the war against Liberty. Because of the lack of experienced Officers the rank required to command capital ships, was dropped from Kapitän to Kapitänfähnrich. Now Max was assigned to the newly constructed RNC-Wotan a rheinland bismarck class battleship.
