Well i was born somewhere in Sirius space aboard a Zoner transport.. You can say i was born as a pilot. My father a Rheinland explorer and tradesman, my mother a zoner trader. I grew up and learned the "trade" from my parents, while travelling Sirius from system to system. The longest time i stayed one place was a few months, on one of the Freeports.
When i reached age 16, my father dissapeard while on an exploration mission, unsure of his fate, i left my family and started a futile search that lasted for 4 years.
At an age 19 i made the biggest mistake ever... In an effort to score some "easy" cash i was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Threatened by a ragtag group of Outcasts & other "scum", i tried to smuggle contraband into Rheinland space... Of course it was destined to fail, and i was stopped by the police.
The fact that i had been threatened and blackmailed into illegal business, gave me a unsusal mild sentence: 3 Years at remote mining station. (Why my sentence was so short i dont know... (Rheinland has always been notorius for harsh jugdement)
Around my 22 birthday, i was released... When i returned "home" to my family i discovered that my mother had died, and that i had inherited her old Albatross Cargo ship.. I'd rather not go more into details since its only 3 years since she passed.....
Well now you know the minor details about me, and why i scratch a living as a honest cargo trader now. Feel free to ask me about what you wanna know. On a side note: I dont think a list of my hobbies are required for joining a faction *a short laugh*
Well let me see... I think now it would be in order to tell you, that during my travels i have heard a few rumors about Phoenix. Thats why i decided to send you this recruiment request*
I understand that your a group of free men/women, who explore space and make a living by trading cargo. Your major goal is to find a safe place to settle down
I am a free soul and always curious about whats behind the next jumphole/system. Have many years of experience with cargo transport. My generel distrust for the house's, their politics and endless wars.
I hope to discover that being with likeminded indiviuals might make living a bit easier and more fun, it gets lonely in space... Zoners are not supposed to be Loners.
You might ask: Why are you not in some other faction?
Well i am never going to deal with Outcasts/Pirates again. Sure i made some "friends" while being in mining-prison, but i do everything to avoid them.
I like a good fight, but i would never be able to live the life of a Bounty Hunter, i am a tradesman and explorer by heart.
I have managed to stay way from greedy House Corporations since like forever, and i will continue to stay way from them.
The military? Never! I am a Zoner not a butcher. And yes i could follow a good leader, but i prefer not to "rule" or be "ruled".
Oh and when i was younger my uncle persuaded me not to join TAZ (Odd religious nutjobs as he used to say...) so thats why i am not with them. Even if i wanted to join them i would not be able to understand what they say or talk about. Never been that spiritual.
OSI had my attention but they were "full" at that time i sent an application.
Well i am going to end this transmission now, i hope you pass a fair judgement on my application. Safe skies/journey and good luck with your future endeavours.
