Biography:
Well this is the strange part of this "application". On a personal level I started work as a librarian in the Royal Court of Gallia and ended up as Head Geneologist, not withstanding a very short spell as Minister of State as Gallic Royalty crumbled. This is grander that it sounds as basically I was one of the few remaining civilians and ended up processing permits and the like. Although many records from Gallia were destroyed I am sure this can be verified by searching my name.
The reason behind this communication isn't as straightforward as a personal employment application. Strange as it may seem I have inherited a small fleet of passenger vessels. Improbable as this sound it is the legacy of a fusion of Bretonian and Gallic nobility. In the distant past Orbital Spa and Cruise had a sub-fleet called Greyhound Passenger Transportation owned and operated by the House of Curtis, a minor branch of nobility loyal to the Bretonian Crown. As history often shows nobilities often associate irrespective of what the general population does, and history often shows marriages and dalliances are used to cement power. At the time Gallic and Bretonian nobility thought the age old recipe was the way forward. In this instance however true love may have won but the business side of things failed. As the war developed business visibility disappeared into the murky anonymity needed for survival. Not a good recipe and although a meagre living sustained the Gallic/Bretonian tryst the business was decidedly low key and mostly under the radar. Eventually as people died and/or moved on the remaining assets were distributed throughout any heirs, no matter how distant, hence I now find myself with a small fleet with an income that is problematic.
This communication is a request to fuse the vessels I have into the Orbital Spa and Cruise fleet, 4 spaceworthy passenger vessels together with a small number that could probably be resurrected or used for parts.

Biography: My father has worked for Synth Foods in their shipping department, ever since he emigrated as a teen from Planet Denver. Mom met him while her family ship was sheltering at the planet while a Lane Hacker situation shut down system traffic for a few weeks. The ship left, and when it returned 6 months later, mom stayed and they got married. I arrived a few months after she moved in with father. I grew up playing around the dockyards where father worked, wanting to be on one of those ships one day, fed by stories of mom growing up on a ship. When I hit 18 I left to join mom's family ship, Thistle-Thatch, an old Mammoth transport, where I took their last name Thistle as my own. When Grandpa and his first son died shortly after the Gallic invasion of Bretonia (in an unrelated planet-side contract dispute), my unmarried Uncle became captain. He sold the old Mammoth, and bought one of the new Serenity transports coming out of Bretonia, naming it Thistle-down. I had worked myself up to first mate, where I've been the last seven years, and was happy to stay, next in line for the ship. I ran the vast majority of the day to day operations, with my lazy uncle only setting the routes.
That changed 5 months ago when I discovered that on every stop at Scarborough Shipyard for repairs and Super Alloy cargo, uncle had been seeing a local engine technician. Five months ago was when my sixty year old uncle brought her aboard with their surprise new baby boy. Don't get me wrong, I love my nephew, but with him on board there is no future for me as captain of the Thistle-down. I've amassed a nice nest egg of credits, but not near enough to buy a ship big enough to make a living off of.
I've taken the liberty of using current drop-off of Rheinbier and Liberty Ale at Planet Curacao to transmit this Captain Application to the Orbital Spa & Cruise recruiting department. I have the practical experience as a captain of a large ship across the sector, but have no ship to call my own. I've always enjoyed watching the OS&C liners and shuttles smoothly cruise by, I love the clean lines and crisp paint jobs. While it may be a sharp transition into a passenger liner from a transport, the better food will more than make up for any transitional difficulties I expect to encounter. We'll be back through Cortez shortly after a short trip to Planet Yuma, I look forward to hearing your reply then.
Please give a brief overview of your past work experience if any.
First mate aboard a Serenity class transport for the last 7 years, acting captain in almost every regard. I've flown extensively in all house space and independent systems except Gallia, along with many of the closer edge systems. I'm familiar with running a crew on a tight schedule and dealing with fussy border patrols.

My name is Caitlyn Cross, and I am the Chairwoman of OS&C. I offer great sympathy to those that Rise on their own merit and hard Work. I myself also come from Humble Beginnings and know how a Family Ship lives and breathes. I myself was born on a Junker Family Ship and experienced firsthand how such family dynasties can either promote or hinder your upward mobility. Your Experiences are Really Usefull, and I think that you are a Prime Candidate for our Liner Captain School. And with the experience as a Serenity Freight Capitan you should also be able to start working in the Logistics Branch right away.
That you have no Ship of your Own is not a real Problem. We can either hire you for an OS&C Liner already in Existance, or help you acquire your own. We have a Great "Work to Own" Program and can definitely help you acquire a Ship of your Very Own. I am sure we can figure something out for you and make a plan that will benefit both of us. For now Please move down to Curacao and Report to the Headquarters. Your Application has beenAccepted. I wish you Safe Travels under our Flag.
