Border World Exports, commonly known as Bowex, is the single oldest shipping conglomerate in all of Sirius and posses a rich and distinguished history. Originally founded in 66 AS as the Bretonia Exploration & Trading Company (BE&T), Bowex has been the backbone of the Bretonian economy for centuries, and has been involved in nearly every major event in Bretonian history. In addition, Bowex has become known as a pioneer in the field of exploration, charting new territories for Bretonia in border worlds. As a nationalised corporation with the exclusive shipping rights to the government, BAF and BPA, Bowex has become utterly essential for the continuation of a Bretonian defence against the myriad enemies of the realm.
Bowex is currently looking for skilled and enthusiastic candidates to fill vacancies in both the Shipping Combine and ExSec (Exploration and Security) divisions. While prior experience is not demanded, a valid pilot's license from any of the four Sirian Houses is a mandatory requirement. Additional training can be provided upon confirmation of employment. Successful applicants will be assigned a corporate vessel from Scarborough Shipyard, or if entering with their own vessel, examined for suitability and offered a free service.

Who are we, and what can we offer to you?
While the inRP writeup above gives a good indication of what makes the NPC faction 'tick', it doesn't tell you - the prospective applicant - very much about us here at Bowex) itself. Currently led by
Common in-game activities include group convoys to Liberty, Rheinland and occasionally Kusari. These can involve carrying ore-type commodities mined by our sister-faction BMM-, or one of the many lore friendly trade routes we've collected for our members to use. Canary Wharf Station in New London usually has a large supply of Gold Ore for those who are interested, and our work with BMM- usually means there are opportunities to haul goods to the station as well, effectively profiting twice!
Beyond basic trading, we also frequently take part in Planet Leeds "blockade runs". This involves freighters sneaking into the system and attempting to rescue Refugees from the docking satellite on the planet's rear. These thrilling operations can involve multiple members, often with freighters shuttling evacuees up to transports that are waiting outside. Obviously this involves a real risk of the GRN realising what's going on and scrambling to put a stop to us, adding to the fun!
Bowex) also has an extremely active security wing, with shared fighters and bombers scattered across Bretonia for members to use as they please. Whether escorting or actively hunting pirates or military targets within our ZoI (Zone of Interest), there's always plenty of things to do. Spotted a Corsair in Cambridge? Feel free to show him the door. The BAF are mustering for an attack on Leeds? Feel free to tag along as a Civil Defence Initiative militia ship and broil some frogs. The ability to cash in your kills on the Crown Services bounty board for double the reward also ensures you'll be well compensated, whatever your department.
Above all else, what we're really about is developing distinct and enjoyable characters. Rather than a character simply being a transport to blandly grind credits, we promote our members to be creative and develop their characters to be their own entities, with relationships that encompass their co-workers and those they encounter. Within Bowex), it's the norm to discover rich internal RP in group chat, with convoy captains sharing banter over past interactions. It's been the case in the past and present that if you see a Bowex) tag, you could be sure of a good interaction - and that's something we're hoping to foster well into the future with your help.
If that sounds like something you'd be interested in - whether you're new here or a veteran of years, a native English speaker or someone who's still learning - just drop us an application and give us a try. Write out the form below from the perspective of your character, and we'll get back to you ASAP. Looking forward to seeing you in-game!
