Hola, I am Asura Rodriguez, Commander of the recently commissioned Murmillo-Class "Depravus". Excuse the mess, I had an altercation with a Violet Suns representative some moments ago. Libertonians. Such soft hands.

Everything is fine now that he is off of my ship.

I wish to formally apply for fleet transfer to The Brotherhood primary fleet. Truth be told I had attempted to find my way into the Violet Suns ranks until I learned that their so-called "leader" isn't even a Corsair!

*Spits, with a bit of blood as if to prove her point*

My most notable command was served as the 2IC aboard the Fes for many years. Finally I have been promoted to my own command, however, High Command on Crete has stipulated I must remain in the reserve fleet and I am not to act independently until I seek field deployment to apply with an organisation such as yourselves. I am transmitting my military history now.

Full Name: Asura Rodriguez
Age: 32
Your skills: Crew management, Command experience, close combat and light arms training.
Reason why you chose us: The Brotherhood is widely seen as one of the defining powers in present-day Corsair society. I would be honoured to bolster The Brotherhood's fleet with a newly commissioned Battleship rather than have it lingering in the Reserve Fleet.

Accessing File: Rodriguez, Asura.

Career history -
Crete Military Acadamy - Graduation with honours.
Compulsory Service - Skiros Station Defensive Patrols - 5 years.
Various 2IC roles (relief command roles only) 8 years 8 months, Most notably 2IC command aboard the Fes(Omega 47 system defense and surveillance )

Asura Umbra served in the reserve fleet for over a decade. During that time she has held several minor commands aboard smaller capital craft, usually in relief of decorated male Commanders. Her career has been served in the shadow of these men, having held no less than 6 2IC roles.

When the soon-to-be Depravus Commander Rico Mendez suffered a fatal fall in the engineering bay during his induction tour of the vessel, Asura oversaw the remainder of the commissioning and christening of the Depravus, being the only available ranking officer with familiarity with the newly designed vessel. Her ability to keep the crew disciplined and alert won her favour with Admiralty on Crete, and she was never replaced.

While it is rumoured that Mendez's fall was no accident, an investigation found no evidence that Asura was involved. When an intoxicated Gunner and close friend of the deceased accused her during the after-function of her appointment, starting initially a brawl that turned into a violent and prolonged melee, ending only when Asura severed the man's jugular with a dining fork, causing the man to bleed out. This led to her nickname "The Forker" among the crew, though no one would dare say it to her face for fear of meeting a similar fate. Another investigation commenced but found that Asura was acting in self defence and again no charges were laid. Her loyal crew have not mentioned the incident since, and have ways of convincing others that they would rather not talk about it.

End File.

I eagerly await further communication from the Brotherhood Command. The Depravus is undergoing final field deployment inspection at Tripoli.

Via con Dios,
Asura Rodriguez
Commander of the Depravus
