Application for Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing Rust Kreissman Gender:Male Date of birth:787 A.S. Place of birth:Planet New London, New London System, Bretonia
Previous experience and Qualifications:
Bretonian Armed Forces veteran (operational service; convoy security, escort coordination, and logistics under live conditions). Political Science graduate of New London’s Imperial Administration and Political Sciences Academy; presently tenured faculty (inactive teaching load due to independent contracting). Senior freelancer with extensive trade, escort, and survey-support track record across multiple regions. Known for consistent contract compliance, discretion, and de-escalation capability at checkpoints and mixed-faction environments.
Primary operational asset: Corvo-class civilian deep space explorer “The Reliable” (gunboat-frame explorer), configured for long-range survey support, secure hauling, and escort work. Crew complement: 12 total (Captain plus 11), with structured technical/security/scientific capability suitable for extended operations.
Background:
Good day.
This is Professor—ugh—Captain Rust Kreissman, master and commanding officer of the civilian deep space explorer The Reliable. I am submitting this application following a prior discussion with a Bristol captain, with the understanding that this filing should be considered a collective application: myself as commanding officer, and my remaining eleven crewmates as attached personnel. Their individual personnel files will be forwarded shortly in a separate transmission, as requested.
I’m applying because Bristol’s work is the rare kind that actually moves the sector forward: construction, repairs, supply, and the sort of logistics that keeps people alive long after the shooting stops. I’ve spent enough years watching “independent enterprise” turn into chaos the moment someone misses a shipment or a weld fails. The older I get, the more I appreciate organizations that build things that last.
Operationally, I can slot into Bristol’s needs immediately as a transport and escort pilot, survey operative, and general logistics contractor. The Reliable is designed for endurance and reliability rather than theatrics: long legs, stable systems, heavy survivability, and a crew built for sustained deployments where you don’t get to run home when the lane gets unpleasant. If Bristol needs a team that can haul, escort, survey, or support construction supply chains with minimal drama, I can provide that.
To be fully transparent up front: we do not accept contracts with credible Nomad involvement, nor do we accept “mystery cargo” with the usual red flags. That isn’t moralizing; it’s risk management. Everything else is negotiable, and we’re happy to operate under Bristol procedures and routing discipline.
If accepted, please advise the designated point of contact and any standard operating requirements (IFF protocols, convoy rules, preferred loadouts, reporting format). I will also connect to Bristol’s communications channel as directed after filing.
Respectfully,
Prof. (on paper) / Capt. (in practice) Rust Kreissman
Command: The Reliable
Motto: “Arrive. Deliver. Leave.”
Prof. Rust Kreissman
Captain of the Reliable
Tenure optional. Reliability isn’t.
