Short Biography: Born and raised on Bonn Station, I pursued a career as a fighter escort for Interspace Commerce. Risking my own life to protect the wealth of others, I was rewarded with a pitiful salary, long working hours with virtually no time off, and a disgraceful standard of living. After many years, I grew sick of being taken advantage of by IC, and left my job and my homeland to live the life of a Freelancer in the edge worlds. Although the pay and the quality of life weren't any better, at least I was free to make my own choices and pursue my own interests. Having recently returned to Rheinland, I've come back into contact with some old acquaintances and IC colleagues who now fly for the Unioners, and have recently joined their ranks.
Why do you want join us?: Because I agree with your philosophy and your goal to make Rheinland a better place for its people, and because I'm tired of flying without a cause. It's time I did something to make a difference.
Why were the Unions outlawed?: Because the Rheinland government will bend over backwards to appease their corporate sponsors, using any means at their disposal to remove opposition to the corporations' activities.
Why were the LWB outlawed?: Similar to the Unions, the LWB were outlawed for their resistance to the destruction of their livelihoods by the profit-driven Synth Foods corporation, which is backed by the Rheinland government.
Describe, in your own words, our attitude to life: Every individual person has the right to be treated with respect, to think for themselves and to make their own choices in life. The faceless greed of corporate Rheinland needs to be put to and end, and those responsible need to be punished for their mistreatment of the workers.
You’re the captain of an artefacts transport. Your escort and your convoy mate is engaged. Do you wait for your escort, assist them in battle, or proceed according to route?: The answer to this clearly depends on the specifics of the situation. If there is any chance that I can realistically make a difference, I will of course assist my fellow Unioners. But if we are clearly outmatched with no hope of victory, it would be foolish to sacrifice my own life and cargo for no gain when they could instead still be used to benefit our cause.
You’re the captain of a strike cruiser. There’s a fight occurring between the Hessians and the Rheinland military, which the Hessians are winning. You can wait for the Hessians to win, help the Hessians or help the Rheinland lawful. Which do you do?: I would attack the Hessians. Although we may not see eye-to-eye with the Military, the Hessians and their misguided ideology of revolution are the bigger threat to the future of our homeland.
