Hello and welcome to Gateway Shipping. If you've found your way here then you're already off to a good start, it means you've already decided to join one of Bretonia's largest and most prestigious firms. If not, then perhaps you need a little push in the right direction?
Well, that's exactly what we're here for. For You.
What exactly is Gateway Shipping?
We're everything that people need us to be, Gateway is not only a highly respected and very well known firm in Bretonia, but in all of Sirius. There is not a single house which we don't have any business in. Sirius is our playground to make profit. That's what you're here for, no? Money. The universe revolves around money and Gateway Shipping makes money by shipping in raw materials to not only Houses that require them, but even to far out groups in the borderworlds.
Dangerous? Yes, very much so. But the rewards are very well worth the dangers. If you decide to take that first step into Gateway you won't find yourself alone, you will find others just like you, people who have made a choice to face those dangers head on just to reap the benefits. We have all kinds of people and people from everywhere. Bretonian, Libertonian, Rheinlanders, Kusarians and even Gallics. Ex-military pilots, CEOs, captains and commanders. It doesn't matter what they were or are, they're here to make money and so are you.
What we offer:
We offer the chance of working with successful men and women such as yourself, people who have chosen to amount to something more. We offer the chance to make insurmountable amounts of credits. Are you willing to face the dangers of space with your cavernous cargo hold? We have access to transport ships from all around Sirius, small or large we have what you want. Like we said before, you won't be alone, our Security Division has access to military grade ships and equipment, they'll be there to make sure you get to where you want to get to without a scratch. Maybe you want to in fact be one of our brave security pilots, well, no one's stopping you.
What we require:
Dedicated and resourceful employees that are willing to take that extra step or work those few extra hours to make sure Gateway looms above all competition. People willing to even shove away ethnics to get what they want and make sure Gateway gets what we want. It's not an easy job, but it's worth it.

F.A.Q.:
How are you different from other trading factions? We play nice on paper, sure. But we will do everything to flatten the competition, including having them killed.
Why are you so special? Gateway fufills a specific niche for Bretonia in that it is a trade faction that isn't connected to it's house government, because of this Gateway is in the role of a corporation that is struggling under the weight of it's much larger competition, Bowex. Gateway and Bowex have a strong rivalry that you'll be able to represent in game, via roleplay, and in some cases, via guns.
So you have more freedom then? Yes, we're not directly connected to the Bretonian government, neither lore or player wise.
Are you allowed to use capital ships? And will you be willing to use them anyway? No, our ID doesn't allow us. Perhaps, in time.
Do I really have to have Skype? Do I really have to answer that?

Good day Mister Fischer, I am the Virtual Intelligence known as Harmony, I am sending this transmission on behalf of the Crewing Agency here to inform you that your initial application to Gateway Shipping has been Accepted. Please report in to Kensington Shipping Platform as soon as possible, you will be met by employees of the Crewing Agency on your arrival and they will process you in through the last steps of your application.
Interested Division(s): Honestly,I can cope with both. I have some combat experience, ex-BAF reserve fleet and both my parents work on trading ships. I've worked with them on them in between working for the reserve fleet and now.
Short Biography:
I was born in All Saints Market, Planet Cambridge. I still live with my parents, in between work. They're pretty average as far as parents go. Pretty average income, enough to get by comfortably.
I left school aged just 16 as I was never interested in civilian life until now. When I left school, I started to begin training for the Armed Forces, but wasn't allowed into the main fleet. Not really sure why.
Either way, I served my time in the reserve forces instead. Made it to Lt. Commander in the three years I was in. Which isn't too bad.
Anyway, I'm now working with my parents in between looking for a new career, and was hoping Gateway could offer me what I wanted. Some combat, and the chance to make some money.

Greetings. This is Matt Jones, speaking on behalf of myself, and Derrick Skanes and Thomas Hattaway. We all would like to apply for a job in Gateway shipping, as we usually work together as a team.
Gateway Shipping Recruitment Form
Name:Matthew R. Jones Age:31 Nationality:Libertonian. (New Westlake, Planet Los Angeles, California System)
Name:Derrick J. Skanes Age:37 Nationality:I was told I am Bretonian, supposedly from New London. All my papers were long lost.
Name:Thomas D. Hattaway Age:29 Nationality:Libertonian. (Sutton, Planet Manhattan, New York System)
Interested Division(s):We are all interested in Shipping as we got our own Stork.
Short Biography: Matthew Jones: I went to the University of Manhattan at the age of 16, where I studied and got a master in Economics and Management. I founded my own freelance shipping company. I hired Thomas when I was 24, and together we saved enough money in order to buy a big transport.
Thomas Hattaway: I went to the University of Manhattan with Matthew, we studied the same, but we didn't know each other much until he hired me after we finished our studies.
Eventually, the company was bought by USI, by whom we got employed. During one of our shipping to Bretonia, we met Derrick, who happened to be an excellent engineer and mechanic, and, after we resigned from our jobs, he joined us as Independent Shippers.
Derrick Skanes: I don't remember much about my childhood. I spent most of my youth working with my uncle Karmus (who I consider my father, as I never met mine) at his repair centre in New London. I got hired several times by the Junkers, in order to build and maintain some of their ships in Trafalgar. Eventually, I got tired of that and returned to New London, where I met Matt and Tom, who needed their ship to be repaired.
After about four years, we got hired by Synth Foods, and Luxury Food from Stuttgart to L.L. Hawaii for a year. An economic crisis in Stuttgart forced us to leave the company, and return to Independence, which did not last for a long time as the IMG hired us. Thanks to them, we earned enough money in order to buy a Stork. We left the IMG as the economy of Helium went down, and now we are in look for a new job. We are very experienced in dangerous cargo shipping.

Good day Mister Jones, I am a Virtual Intelligence known as Harmony, I am sending this transmission on behalf of the Crewing Agency here to inform you (and your crew) that your initial application to Gateway Shipping has been Accepted. Please report in to Kensington Shipping Platform as soon as possible, your group will be met by employees of the Crewing Agency on your arrival and they will process you in through the last steps of your applications.
I was born and raised on Planet New London. Have a moderate educational degree, and I'm following in my parents footsteps as they both were in the corporate business, my mother being an escort pilot, and my father a transport captain. When I was eighteen I passed both basic and advance piloting, so I'm qualified to captain a transport, or fly a fighter.

From: Gateway Captain Walter Godwin
Subject: Reinstatement
Good evening board members, managers, and Mr Pierce,
If you have followed any of the actions of the Interstellar branch of Gateway you'll remember that I was indeed Director of Trade Operations there. In the past 6 months I have been coping with my dear mother's passing and had taken a leave from my position to be with her on Cambridge. Now that she has passed and I've had significant time to get my affairs in order I wish to resume my duties within the company. I have been a loyal employee since the Rheinland conflict in 800AS and I do hope that you consider my reinstatement in a position where I can resume relations with our foreign partners.
I am of course content simply resuming full-time trade captaining in the Agincourt if that is your decision. Otherwise, I will speak with you lads in our offices at Kensington upon my arrival.

Short Biography:Look in the corporate files if you'd like a bit of history. The short end of it would be that I was born in Cambridge, I am a former Armed Forces reserve pilot and I was on active duty from 783AS to 790AS. As I stated earlier I joined Gateway as an escort pilot shortly before the Rheinland conflict in 800. During my time with Gateway Interstellar in 815 I was promoted to Director of Trade Operations and have held that post since.
Please prepare the reactivation of my corporate pass, all associated accounts, and Shetland class transport Agincourt's docking permissions.
