Place and year of birth:
Planet Stuttgart, 800 A.S
Personal Background:
Born into the wealthy von Thalberg family as the only daughter, and the youngest of 6 siblings, although I may have once said it was not great, I can now look back and say I was incredibly lucky.
As the only daughter, I believe that I was being groomed to become married into another powerful family, and so I was quite blind to what was happening in Rheinland for about 16 years of my life.
At 17, I began to realise. My brothers began coming home in crates - most having died "brave and noble deaths for Rheinland", but ultimately achieving nothing. When the future head of the family died though, it was different. I wasn't told until I was 22, that he had in fact been shot for treason - objecting against the Federal Republic's treatment of the less-fortunate members of society.
This made myself and father the only thing standing in the way of the other families taking our possessions and wealth. Father became anxious, and after a night alone in his room with a few bottles of wine, he told myself and our servants to begin packing our valuables.
Myself and a small number of our families ships hurried to our estate on Hamburg, whilst father and 2 larger Uruz class ships gathered our belongings from Stuttgart. However, in his haste, and perhaps greed for his possessions, he both alerted another family but also took far too long. As his ships attempted to flee to the Omegas, he was apparently stopped by the corrupt authorities. I don't know any more than that, but I assume he died trying to escape. He was a very stubborn old man.
Of course, the authorities eventually caught our ships, trying to escape the Hamburg system. But now I'd had enough of running. Running does not stop a corrupt government or manipulative families in power from oppressing the people. I would not allow myself, or my loyal servants, to be captured and condemned to a prison to rot.
I lost perhaps a hundred brave men and women fighting for our lives, and not to mention the number of freighters and escorts. But we defeated them there, and myself and the remaining ships escaped to New Berlin.
What brings you to our cause?:
Despite what I've been through, Rheinland is still my home, and I'm not sure I could just leave it and live my life elsewhere. No, I've seen first-hand the extent of the corruption, greed, and terror which now plagues Rheinland, and I cannot leave and live in peace with this knowledge. I will do whatever I can to return Rheinland to its former glory, even if it means dying to further the cause of overthrowing the tyrants in power.
But we are no barbarians, we are not terrorists. We will not turn to common piracy, we will not harm the people of Rheinland, we will not harm the defenceless.
We can still think for ourselves; the bloodshed and the fear has not addled our brains. Fighting for a cause against such deep-rooted corruption alone is suicide - my eldest brother proved that.
I ask that you may consider my own application, and after that, after showing you my devotion, perhaps my servants... no, friends, can also be trusted enough. But for now, they must hide. I wont place their lives in danger until I am sure it is safe enough to emerge.
