Section II: About You
Why do you want to join the Primary Fleet?
Because in the time I have spent among the Order ranks, I have always wanted to do the best I could, and help as much as I possibly can, and the Primary fleet is the best place that I can go to do that. I really think Sirius does not need another great war, and the more we learn and understand about the other inhabitants of Sirius, the better things will be.
How long have you been in the Secondary (Independent) Fleet?
Five years (//OORP: I had an Order indy for a very long time, but I deleted him a few months ago)
What do you think you can bring to us in the Primary Fleet
Dedication and decades of experience as an escort pilot, for what it's worth.
Please rate your combat skills out of 10 (10 being the best) (Please note: Having a higher score does not affect your application)
8/10

Section III: Pilot History
I was born in Liberty, I'm not exactly sure where, my parents were always on the move when I was young. I kept going from town to town, even planet to planet on rare occasions, as we weren't that well off, and space travel is expensive. It wasn't until I was seventeen that we had a single place of residence, that being a small mining outpost on Planet Pittsburgh. It was, to put it politely, a crap-hole, but my parents took work in the mines in order to get enough money for me to go to college. Plus they said that no-one would ever find them there, not sure what they meant, but I guess it was a safe place.
I only attended college for a few months, and while I was good at more practical subjects, my teachers thought I was dumb as a post. To be honest, they were half right. I did however land a few contacts in the prospecting crowd. Those guys who wanted to get a small freighter and either look for riches alone, or join the IMG, or some other group of miners. This got me my first real work after I dropped out of college, as an escort pilot for a few convoys going backwards and forwards to and from Freeport 4. Flying a ship was hard at first, and I was actually saved by the transports I was supposed to be protecting a number of times, but I eventually got the hang of it. And I got plenty of combat experience fighting the Rogues and other small-time pirates that wanted to make a quick buck.
I was 22 when the colonies all went to war, I heard some rumours that aliens were to blame, but because of all the trouble caused by the hostilities, most of my contracts dried up, as no one wanted to ship in such dangerous times. I went back to my parents on Pittsburgh, who were still working in the mines for some reason. They told me not to believe any rumours about aliens, and not to talk about them at all, because they didn't want any suspicion to be drawn to them. I spent most of the war planet-side, but near the end, I was asked to escort a ship with some much needed ores from the mines to Norfolk shipyard.
the Convoy was attacked by a Rheinland raiding party, and I was only saved when a Navy patrol came by and saw them off, using strange pink guns, the likes of which I had never seen before. My ship was destroyed though and my pod was taken by the Navy ships. I spent the rest of the war in a holding cell aboard the Missouri.
Since then I spent a year or so looking for a ship I could steal, as my own was long destroyed. I eventually found one and decided to head to the Edge worlds. I had heard lots of rumours from some of the miners about strange things going on out there, and I was naturally curious. Plus I had almost no money and needed a miracle to gather enough to pay off my debts. So I headed out through the Sigmas, where the trail stopped and I had to find my own way. I had a few run-ins with Corsairs along the way, and only narrowly escaped. I eventually made it to Omicron Theta, which, as I was told, was the end of the line, and as far out as I could go. Eventually I convinced the Zoners to let me through their system of Omicron 74, and I once again headed out in search of adventure, after being on the Freeport for months.
I made it to Omicron Delta, to find a Freeport there as well, and some beautiful scenery. Also, I noticed the Bounty Hunters were there as well, I steered clear of them as my parents were at one point bountied, and I didn't want any trouble. But eventually I noticed these guys were no ordinary Hunters, they were not your usual random assembly of failed criminals and former policemen, these guys were an army, and they were far more skilled than any Hunter I ever met back home. After a few weeks I decided to see how safe the system was, and see if there were any riches to be had. I didn't get far from the Freeport when some Corsairs spotted me, and I was an easy target for them. Luckily, some Order ships were in the area and took pity on me, persuading them not to fire on me, however, before long a large group of Hunters, including a Battleship showed up on the scene, and declared the Order to be enemies of humanity, and infested traitors to the human race, and then declared that they would purge them, and any who stood with them. It wasn't a fair fight, a wing of Order fighters and a few Corsairs faced with a few dozen Hunter Fighters, several Gunboats and Cruisers, and a Battleship. As they tried to flee, the Hunters exclaimed that I was also infested and must be purged, and the Battleship opened fire on my little civilian Fighter, tearing through my shields before I could even move. For the second time in my life, I had my ship destroyed and was forced to look for work elsewhere. This time however, I found myself on the Freeport, and in the company of lots of Hunters, who I did not like the look of. So I asked some Order guys there if they would give me a ship if I were to fight for them. They said yes, and I was taken to Toledo and given a Fighter, and made part of the Secondary fleet. And since then I have flown with the Order, fought in many battles, and am now applying to the Primary fleet.
