Biography: Greetings, I would like to introduce myself as James Habersham. I was born on Planet Erie, Pennsylvania, on March the 14th of 785 AS, merely three years after the intervention of the LPI to step in and reduce the crime rate on the planet. As my parents were of Zoner origin and of economic business proffesion, while they were happy that the crime rate was reduced making the markets more stable, they were very quite displeased with the sudden increase of corporate police. They were afraid they were going to take away their way of living, their freedom of choice, and the chance to grow their own way, not controlled by corporate mega-giants. Certainly, Erie was still capitalist like the rest of Liberty, but not in the way most corporations would have it. But as it would have it, it were the Liberty officials and inverters like Interspace Commerce that actually saw the benefit of Erie's free market system and made investments to make this planet more prosperous and obviously still make a profit of it in return.

Because of how things went down, my parents were still hesitant of the situation, but their fears were atleast calmed. So overall I grew up in a middle-upper class family where my parents became Interspace employee interplanetary bankers. While it was a comfortable life, capitalism is still a cut throat market where a single mistake could turn your fortunes to ash. But fortunately, because my parents were employed by Interspace, they were given the education they needed as bankers to avoid such things, and turn most if not any situation into a profit. And from them did the knowledge trickle down onto me. I already was starting to understand at a young age just how important money was, both as a commodity, as a means of survival and many more applications.

So skipping a few years, I passed elementary school in 798 AS with flying colours with a speciality in mathematics. After that I enrolled into high school, specifically the business and economics track. Overall, while it was certainly more challenging then my previous education, the results I delivered where still of high esteem. And so I got my high school certificate in the business track with high ranking marks in 802 AS. My parents were proud of me to have a son this capable with numbers and money and rightfully so. If I kept this up, I would be able to land a job amongst them in no time. But... honestly... I liked my parents a lot, they thought me a lot and were willing to pass their functions onto me (if Interspace allowed it of course) as interplanetary bank owners. But I wanted more, bigger, better. I had proven my capabilities so far, why not shoot for the stars and go for heights not even my parents reached. To get the knowledge and capabilities of an Interspace Commerce Arbiter.

So I enrolled into Planet Erie's Edinboro University for the Interspace Arbiters education track. While the recruitment agents did found it slightly strange that I wanted to join the Interspace Arbiter track to become a travelling banker vessel / travelling bank loan lender, the Arbiter skill still would absolutely be applicable as such, and with my high scoring diploma's I was accepted into the the Arbiters track at the university. My parents were a bit dissapointed that I didn't want to stay with them and take over their interplanetary Interspace bank, but were still proud of me to go for the gold to get myself Arbiter certified.

And so forth, nearly had a decade passed. The year was 810 AS and in two years came the final exam. I could do either do of three things and these three things could be done on the day of the exam or even before if requested AND proven successful. The usual exam like any other school exam, be deployed into an actual financial dispute between companies or factions and solve the problem while also getting a profit out of, or make an actual market invest in stock or other way and make a HUGE profit. As the person I am, the basic exam was too low of a standard for me, and talking disputes seemed very dull. As the son of a banker family, my goal was to provide the means to others, so that through them, I can profit the most off of their profits. And so, and opportunity arose.

Tensions were rising the Tau sector with conflicts happening between BMM and the IMG for mining rights. BMM was known to be a power house and power hungry and certainly had the outright wealth to bribe their claim on the system. But to them that was not an option. And on top of that, the IMG actually prepared a solid legal case against them, having learned from their mistakes not having pressed harder when they could have claimed Newcastle. To have a solid case against a pridefull opponent unwilling to bend over, and already having most of the Tau-23 territory in pocket, the IMG could have claimed the system and make big profit on their own without hindrance of BMM. So I could have put in an investment so that they could build extra facilities in return for a percentage of the profit.

But then in 812 AS in my exam year, then things got interesting. Apparently, Kusari intended to support the IMG case. And the Bretonian Queen did not like that and to put it lightly, was quite pissed off. But this moment gave me a brilliant idea. Many people would shy away from this option as many would consider it unethical, but honestly it is just regular part of the business. The business of war. Considering that Kusarian fleet had more ships, more experienced fighters because of the war in 800-801 AS and just had better ships that were also quite expensive, I made a deal with the exam commission that my exam would take place in my war investment for Kusari. I mainly would finance Samura, as they were the main suppliers of weapons and ships for the Kusarian fleet. It was risky business, lady luck is quite fickle and my own build up fortune could turn to ash, but I did not attend the Arbiter track just to make failing investments. I did so, because I intent to make the correct investment for profits.

And so the war began from 813 AS and going full blown in 814 AS. And the Kusarian side was making progress and winning. Having taken control of Tau-31 in early 815 AS. But sometimes to win, you need to lose a few. In late late 815 AS, for some reason Mollies helped build a minefield around Planet Harris, denying Kusari a valuable prize. But even so all in all. The major victories for Kusari sky rocketed the market stocked for Kusarian companies and already paid back the investments I had made and even made a good profit. On top of that, the contract accepted by Samura paid HUGE sums of profit money back considering how many ships were lost and new ones needed to be build because of the failed battle of Harris. And of course, since the IMG did back Kusari, from them via Samura did I also recieve a share of the profit of their industry left undisturbed in Tau-23. I had turned my investment into the huge profit I promised to the exam commission of the Arbiter track at my university. I now had the official Interspace Arbiter diploma, even if I was rather going to use it banking purposes.

And so things kept going to years of 820-821 AS. Kusari had entered Leeds and even nearly conquered it. And it was here that I decided that pull out all my stocks and investments and leave rich. Think about it, rebuilding costs a lot more they destroying a building. So if I was to stick around after Kusari had won, it would eventually started to cost money of the profit I had made. And just as much a Lady Luck can be a fickle lady, so can she smile when things are right. Because I pulled out at the right moment. Only a few months after I had cashed in my profit, angry french people in battleships started to pour into Sirius, and annihilated the Kusarian fleet. Certainly dodged a bullet there, because these sudden french people didn't seem to intent for just conquering, but something more sinister so I avoided them with any financing.

Obviously, later came the Kusari civil war in 823 AS. The Imperial Fleet was exiled by a new Republic, but many people of both middle and especially rightwing Kusari did not like that. So once again Kusari was at war, but at a smaller scale. Since the opinion of the Republic was rather low with the exception of the left and Kishiro, supporting the Imperials seemed like the right call. Once more did I sign a contract with Samura, but this time a smaller once since the expected losses of the Imperials were actually small. Most of the Kusari navy was with them fighting Bretonia at the time, leaving little military assests back home. So chances were that ship building profits were slim, but atleast I could profit of the retaking of planets and get a share of the Imperial treasury flow. And so in 825, the Imperials were victorious. Got a good sizeable profit out it as reward for having supported the Imperial line.

As of now here in 826 AS. Currently at the moment, since there aren't major investments to make, I decided to go for something smaller, more so for myself rather then for a profit, since I have more digits in my digital wallet than I would bother to count. I decided to invest in an new but VERY promising station just 6K outside of Kyshu. The Hoshizora Travel Company. The owners seemed very ambitious and had both the ships and materials make this station happen. And so far, the Kusarian government has already granted them their first Blueprint upgrade. Right now, all preparations have been made and presented to the government for a second blueprint, but because of bureaucracy, they haven't responded yet. In the end, I still intent to make a profit out of this new vacation company, but like I said, this one project is just for myself. War business is tough business after all, and I too want a well deserved vacation.


So, to whoever just read my application, I hope atleast that I did not bore you with my story, and that you consider me as a valuble asset as an official Interpace Commerce Banker.
If not, well... again I hope atleast then that I did not bore you with my story.

Other then that, I wish you all a pleasant day,
Sincerely,


-James Habersham
