TO: IMG Recruitment Office
SENDER: Quarton Lazzarus; stationed on Planet Leeds
SUBJECT: Trader Captain Application
Thank you for receiving my application. My name is Quarton Lazzarus, I am a trader-for-hire from Leeds. I quit Bowex Shipping a year ago and have been working the Bretonian trade circuit ever since. I recently got in touch with my uncle, who is a mechanic aboard the HMS Hood, and he suggested I contact you for steady employment. The Bretonian embargo of the Taus has been bad for business all-around, and I understand that the niobium routes are quite...profitable.
Also, I gather that the guild is not so uptight as the House firms - I held a desk job for two years at Bowex before I could even sniff the inside of a cargo ship, much less fly one. The IMG is hopefully not mired in employee politics like my old employer.
I see the IMG as an organization that gives its members the freedom to decide how they want to make a living, and at the same time looks out for its own. This last part is particularly important to me. My fiancee has threatened to call off our marriage unless I start protecting myself out there.
I can bring to the IMG a skilled pilot who already has some familiarity with your organization (through my uncle), curiosity about foreign worlds, and above all, a dedication to making as much money as possible, both for myself and for my employer.
