Former security guard escorting on-planet food shipments to corporate transports.
Brief biography
I grew up during a complicated time for Planet Kyushu. The civil war definitely hit us harder than others and being born into a family of farmers meant I couldn't exactly choose sides or flee with my family in search of more stable living conditions. We endured and survived, and I grew up wanting to do more for those who were stuck in my same shoes when I was just 10 years old. I became a security guard, ensuring the safe delivery of food to corporate clients and financially helping my family in the process. Then the storm came. My childhood home was ruined and both of my parents were transported off-world because of their critical injuries. I spent some time on my own, visiting them whenever the mobile relief station wasn't overcrowded and spending my days in the main city's bars whenever it was. I cannot continue living like this, I need to get back to doing something to fill the void that accursed storm sank in my heart. I think the only thing that could possibly do that would be helping my one true heritage, Kusari.
Why do you seek to join the Kusari Naval Forces?
I want to help ensure the security of our House, so that if one day the world should end, that end would be peaceful.

To hands of the applicant(s) as named below:
Saburo Kirazaki - Your application is hereby accepted. Due to the lack of noticeable military and piloting experience, you're to report in at the 39th Mobile Training Squadron, Camp Asaka, Planet New Tokyo immediately.
I have studied the law at the University on New Tokyo and went thru military training for commanding officers of capital ships.
Brief biography
I was born on Planet Kyushu, as the youngest daughter of my father Nakajima Kazuma, a high-ranking Hogosha-member, and my mother Nakajima Misao, a member of the Kusari Supreme Court. My family is Kurari nobility and owns a big plot of farmland on Kyushu, where I spent most of my childhood, together with my many brothers and sisters.
I went to the elite-School on Kusari and finished with good grades and recommendations for higher education. Right afterwards I moved to Planet New Tokyo to attend the University, studying Law, to follow in my Mother's footsteps. However, after finishing my studies, I came to the conclusion that I do not want to spend my life behind a desk. I always had a thing for the military since I was a young girl, I wore uniforms and liked to play as a soldier all day, looking up at the sky of our homeplanet whenever I saw the ships of our naval forces.
So instead of becoming a Judge, I asked my parents to turn in some favors to get me recommendations from various influential places and reserve a spot as a battleship-commander. I went thru the basic training for commanding officers of the Kusari Navy and started my work very recently, taking command over the capital ship 'Sapporo'. I am ready to serve Kusari. Long live the Emperor!
Why do you seek to join the Kusari Naval Forces?
It has always been my dream, I wish to be on the frontlines of our great Empire. Since I been a young child I have been admiring our naval forces and have never missed a broadcast of our parades. I do not want to spend my life behind a desk.

Kyung Soo-jin was born to a family of Samura employees on Kurile in Sigma-17. Her father worked on the planet as a mechanic for the Kuril fighter wing and her mother was a waitress in the bar on one of the floating platforms. Throughout the years on Kurile, Kyung would take trips with her father to Honshu frequently, and as she got older she learned how to both fly and work on the "Eagle" Very Heavy Fighter.
In a particularly brutal attack by the Gas Miner's Guild in 824 AS, Soo-jin had seen many wounded or killed pilots that were brought in by patrols. Enraged by the carnage she had seen, she worked tirelessly with her father on ship repairs, but was feeling increasingly frustrated at her own lack of combat ability. Due to her father's connections working on the Samura ships, as well as her own work ethic, she managed to outfit an Eagle herself with some weaponry she salvaged from the fallen. She was only 20 at the time, but had no major responsibilities, except for the work she did with her father, and his ever-growing infatuation with Alien Organisms. By this time, Kyung and her family had to move to Junyo, yet with the seizure of Planet Kurile by the GMG, Junyo’s fisheries saw an immediate drop in output, with many collapsing entirely over the following years as Alien Organism stocks depleted. Mass unemployment and failing industries have left Junyo a shadow of its past which could not but affect on Soo-jin and her family. The time in space fueled her ambition to try her luck for a greater purpose so she enlisted in the Naval Forces of Kusari.
Why do you seek to join the Kusari Naval Forces?
In the time of need, I'm always ready to lend a hand to my Country.

To hands of the applicant(s) as named below:
Kyung Soo-jin - Your application is hereby accepted. In light of past flight experiences in volatile environments, you will be immediately assigned to a senior training wing operating under the Battleship Myoko's command for a trial phase of four weeks. Should you prove capable, you may remain with the assigned wing and skip the initial flight courses completely. Please appear at Fort Ainoura on Junyo within the next 72 hours to receive your NOH credentials and initial orders.
Prior to this application I have worked as a pilot, then moved into a researcher position at Kishiro. As part of a multidisciplinary team I helped to manage, create and develop various projects on technologies under NDA. I was also involved in the transfer, movement and protection of various cargo across House space and ventured slightly into the Sigmas/Taus. I dedicated my life, like my family before me, to my place at Kishiro Technologies. I lived and breathed Optronics-- but the horrors I have witnessed at the hands of our adversaries have boiled my blood to the point of no-return.
Brief biography
My name is Seika Arakawa, I was pressured into a position at Kishiro Technologies by my parents (both scientists) at a young age, though my heart yearned to see the stars. I was permitted to pursue a piloting license, which I used to haul cargo across Kusari for a few years. I grew restless of the monotony and decided to acquiesce to my familial demands and join Kishiro-- but I was blindsided as my position in the cockpit was gradually degraded into a desk job not dissimilar to my parents. The last day I flew, I vowed to find a way back to the stars.
Why do you seek to join the Kusari Naval Forces?
I've seen what's out there, I know what we're up against-- I can help. I know that my history doesn't include accolades of battle, policing or valor-- but I have courage in my spirit. Rather than lament behind a desk I would see the Empire flourish.

Helped in my parents' restaurants. Basic flight training and simulator practice. Some experience as a freelancer.
Brief biography
I was born to Takeru Ishii and Claire Baxter, a Bretonian native who worked for the Independent Miners Guild. They met in one of my father's restaurants sometime in 814 A. S. and immediately fell in love. Our family runs a small chain of restaurants on Planet New Tokyo and I was supposed to one day take over the business. However, that is not something I wanted to do and thankfully my parents never pressured me into that career path. I've always been a bit of a free spirit and wanted to see what our universe has to offer us. I pursued a flying license and did some work as a freelancer in Kusari. However, recently there have been a lot of disturbing news in Kusari that compel me to do a bit more than just freelancer work.
Why do you seek to join the Kusari Naval Forces?
I am a concerned citizen and want to do something for my home. I've read about the 13th training squadron and I think that would be a great opportunity for me to show that I can help Kusari!
