Briefly tell us about yourself. I was born on Planet Marne in the Champagne system. My father was a soldier in the Royal Navy's Marines, while my mother was unemployed, and worked at home, father's job paying the bills rather nicely. Up until the revolt, everything was relatively calm, but after the revolt, things took to a strange curve. Father was pulled into the conflict, but was one of the many casualties that littered the planet during the rebellion. Mother and I were evacuated to Planet Nevers in Burgundy, where we coped with father's loss.
In time, I decided I wanted to follow in his footsteps. When we moved to New Paris, I took many classes on astronomy, physics, chemistry.. I became obsessed with the minute fundamentals of the universe, from the smaller atoms to the largest of stars, the four states of matter to the very building blocks of life. I wanted to not only study it all, but to see it all. My mother encouraged me to go along with my dreams, and helped to make it a reality. When I was 19, I enlisted in the Navie, hoping to make my dear father proud, and while the years that I spent in the Navie weren't very exciting, I did get to see the natural wonders that space had in store.
Mother died not even five years ago. In addition to this, I had also begun to distrust the intel we were getting. In a patrol that seemed normal, events took place, and we eventually had to destroy a civilian train carrying refugees. This scarred me, and forced me to resign from the Navie. I thought the Council could help focus my thoughts, but I had only reached the rank of Caporal before their extremist ways forced me on my own again. I've since left Gallia, having not returned and with no reason. I've heard that there is another threat out there, one colloquially called 'Nomads', and that they are a force to both be reckoned and stopped.
Why do you wish to join us? I've heard about this Battlegroup from many pilots, captains and business men who deal with you. If there is indeed the threat of the 'Nomads' on the rise, and they are capable of what they are hailed, then I believe it is my duty to help rid the universe of them.
I'm also curious as to how such a species is capable of preforming such acts, and I wish to learn more.
