Greetings Herr Oberst, my name is Cadius. There isn't much i can tell you about my early life or my family background for fear of their safety. I can tell you that at the age of 18 I joined the Rheinland Military Academy, graduated two years after and was assigned to 152nd Valhallan Fighter Wing stationed on the Battleship Karlsruhe in Stuttgart. I thought we were enforcing law and justice, protecting the borders of the Fatherland from it's enemies, foreign and domestic, no matter the cost. Many times have I been ordered to shoot down civilian ships regardless of whether or not they were armed.
At first i thought these acts were necessary to uphold the strict laws of our Fatherland, but then i slowly realized that they were nothing more than oppression used to enforce the iron claws of a fascist government who care nothing for the safety of their citizens, only that they be kept in line. It was important that we suppressed these "traitors" and "agitators" for the stability of the republic, but what of Liberty that even now ravage through our border systems? What of the Corsairs that raid and pillage our trade lanes? Nothing. They were of little importance to my commanders. I will not lie to you, I have been involved in many acts of atrocities including the destruction of a liner transport carrying refugees, my commanders thought it was important that we prevent spies from using these refugee liners to infiltrate the Republic.
I left the Military after my tour ended and traded my Banshee for a Startracker and have been freelancing ever since. Even now the sins of my past haunt my dreams, I seek join the Red Hessians in hope that I can find redemption for what I did and so that I may save others from the propaganda of our fascist government.
Unfortunately the Rheinwehr does not take desertion lightly, my bank account and planetary assets already have been seized and it's only a matter of time before they find me.
