Personal History: I enlisted at the age of 20 into the Rheinland Military and served for three years in the Logistics division as a maintenance technician for Oder class engine and communications suite refits. At the age of 23, I was transferred to the Marinenachrichtendienst Department of Extended Logistics for deep space maintenance of communications relays in the Omicrons, where I served as a Neural Net Relay service technician on board the LV-Nordensee for two years. I was then assigned to manned communications substation duty on board the Oder Class LV-Ymir to serve as a node point between DHC operations in Omicron Delta and MND hosted repeater relays in Sigma 15. As part of my duties, I spent nine of every ten days in cryosuspension - waking every tenth day to monitor relay status and engage in required repairs and preventative maintenance. Although communications abruptly ceased approximately five years ago, I continued to man my post. Dwindling supplies have forced me to return to Sigma 15 in order to resupply and find out why the communications and supply drops had stopped.
Skillset: Maintenance and operation of Oder class gunboats, communications equipment, creative preparations of Synthpaste rations
Why would you like to join The Platform?: Rheinland appears to have undergone something of a coup and are infested by monarchists. The democracy to which I had sworn my service is dead, and the Platform is probably the closest thing to that remaining in Rheinland.
In your own words, what is your understanding of the Platform's goals and structure?: A bit more involved than mere protest of the monarchist authoritarian Imperial regime currently ruling Rheinland. The end goals of the Platform are pretty lofty and high theory for my tastes and comprehension, but the practice required align quite well with my current assessments for the time being.
Do you have any prior and/or current employment or affiliations? If so, do you expect retaliation for leaving these affiliations in favor of the Bundschuh?: My former department appears to not exist anymore, and all friends and family are out of contact.
Are you submitting this application on behalf of a larger ship? (i.e Gunship, Transport, etc) If so, we will relay this same application to other assenting crew: I am currently the only crew of the LV-Ymir, as it was an Oder hull with little need for combat crew - however, I may need to take in more crew if the Platform will have me, and need to refit for combat duties.
Do you (and those you speak on behalf of) have a cardamine dependency? If so, are you/they willing to use stabiline in the event of a local cardamine shortage?: No
Are you interested in joining an established Cell (i.e. Gloaming Flotilla, Damnatio Memoriae) or forming another? Partisan Independence is also allowed: I will go where I am needed
Is there any other pertinent information you would like to add to this application?: I would much prefer long term deployment rations to not be exclusively synthpaste.
