Thank you for expressing interest in the Civil Defence Initiative.
I understand that many applicants looking to join the Militia may be, for a lack of a better term, "cagey" about their history. This is something we can potentially overlook - within reason, and to an extent - for candidates who can bring particular expertise to the protection of the realm. That said, we do still need to carry out some basic checks.
You've described mercenary work in Kusari and Liberty - please provide a description of the categories of clients you were working with, and a contact we can approach for a character reference. We would also need to understand the nature of the issues you are facing in Liberty, and whether this could compromise your work in Bretonia. If you would instead prefer to sidestep these particular questions, you could instead demonstrate that you possess an essential skillset we need.
Recently we have incurred several casualties from Corsair raiders, making your mercenary experience potentially useful. Killing or capturing a Corsair raider in Bretonian space - preferably one associated with the Black Sails or Deterrence gangs - will handily complete the initial filtering and pilot assessment process. Following an interview with one of our inspectors, you would then be eligible to take your attestation and receive a warrant as a special constable.
We would, of course, also require warranties from you that the 826 - 828 period did not involve criminal activity within Bretonia.
