►Name: Jürgen Kringesmann ►Rank: Bootsmann ►Age: 40 ►Height: 178cm ►Weight: 82kg ►Hair Color: Light Brown ►Eye Color: Blue ►Planet/Station of Origin: New Berlin
Background Information
Jurgen Kringesmann, the only son of a prominent bourgeois marriage from New Berlin, whose family roots go back to the early years of the arrival of the Sleeper Ship Rheinland to Sirius. From the beginning the Kringesmann house has been known for being a collaborator of the Imperial Crown, keeping its traditions intact, which date back (according to family records) to the time of Prussia, an ancient empire of the old and not forgotten Earth, this speaks of the strong tradition that has kept the Kringesmann house alive for so many years despite being constantly boycotted by federalist bureaucrats.
Jurgen was born in New Berlin on July 13, 787A.S. Thanks to his wealthy family, he received the best education that money could pay, private educational institutes, music academies and others. At 18 years old, being a violin master, he had finished his basic studies, having obtained a degree in mechanical engineering. Supported by his family and by tradition, he decided to immediately join the army, where he finished his basic training effectively and with one of the highest scores. Due to his well-known family, his superiors, most federal activists, did what they could to keep Jurgen within the low ranks. Because of this, he was tasked with office and maintenance duties within the military facility in New Berlin.
During the civil war, Jurgen returned to his family residence, from where he observed the looming disaster. Both he and his family faithfully support the Imperial party, hoping that this is his chance to return to a full life without the ailments and pitfalls that the federal party has placed throughout his life.
►Name: Daniel Erich Hohenstaufen ►Rank: Bootsman ►Age: 28 ►Height: 200 cm ►Weight: 100 kgs ►Hair Color: Black ►Eye Color: Green ►Planet/Station of Origin: Planet Stuttgart
Background Information
Daniel was born and grew up on a large farming estate on the Planet Stuttgart to a low ranking noble family just before the Nomad War. During the war his father Otto joined the Military as many members of their family did over the centuries and lost his life. This affected Daniel terribly as it forced him to grow up as the only male heir to his house. He flourished in his early and later education, but there was a growing resentment in the young man. He blamed foreign corporate interference in Rheinland for the House’s woes on top of the fact that his family also lost much during the Popular Revolution.
In 818 A.S. Daniel joined the Rheinland Military and took part in the Rheinland-Liberty war as a snub pilot and squad leader. After the sabotage of the Bering and Hudson jump gates by the Federal Government, Daniel was stationed in the Hamburg system and served with distinction in a pirate suppression role.
In 823 A.S. after the signing of a peace treaty between Rheinland and Liberty, Daniel was reassigned to pilot a Sleipnir heavy fighter aboard a Donau-Class Cruiser known as the RNC-Hohenzollern and was stationed in New Berlin as part of the system’s Garrison. It was around this time that Daniel joined the Imperial Party as a member.
In 826 A.S. the Hohenzollern was attached to the Battleship Kolleda and served as one of the battleship’s escorts for a time in the Sigma-21 system and aiding in raids into Kusari space.
Upon the return of the Kolleda to New Berlin, Daniel began to work closely with the Imperials during his downtime and took part in the coup de ’tat reinstating the Monarchy. He took part in the initial seizure of the New Berlin system and had a limited role in skirmishes in the Stuttgart system, his home. However the original Hohenzollern was destroyed in an engagement with Federalist forces and he was sent back to New Berlin for reassignment. Following the signing of the Holstein Accords, Daniel was reassigned to the Battleship Westfallen.
In the months following the end of the civil war, Daniel was assigned to the anti-terrorism wing of the Rheinwehr and has distinguished himself as a Hessian hunter. His actions have garnered him a promotion to Bootsman and he continues to fight the Hessian threat wherever he can.
Personality Traits
Daniel Erich Hohenstaufen was raised as the only son of his father Otto Erich. This placed a lot of pressure on the boy growing up as his father was killed during the Nomad War. This made him into a people pleaser growing up and he nurtured his own burgeoning charisma and leadership skills in school and in sports.
His desire to join the military was to uphold his family’s traditions, honour his father’s memory and protect the people of Rheinland. This stems from him seeing the suffering and pain the struggling farmers of Stuttgart have gone through. He is determined to protect his people and fight their enemies.
However, the young man is kind, dedicated and loyal to a fault to the Kaiser and to Rheinland

►Name: Traudel Habermeyer ►Rank: Oberleutnant ►Age: 30 ►Height: 172cm ►Weight: 70kg ►Hair Color: Brown ►Eye Color: Blue ►Planet/Station of Origin: Planet Neu Berlin Background Information
Traudel was born on Planet New Berlin, growing up surrounded by her parents work. That being a xenoarchaeologist and an explorer, she quickly developed a healthy amount of curiosity as well as open-mindedness. Often willing to take creative routes to find the best solution for a difficult situation.
The path seemed set in stone already, yet, only close to a year after enrolling at one of New Berlins renowned universities, Traudel altered her goals. Instead of following her parents footsteps directly, the enterprising young woman wished to pursue a military career instead.
The Habermeyer family, as supportive as ever of their one and only child, gave their full support.
Impressively curious about things and gifted ... or cursed... with a desire to learn and understand, the Rheinwehr was delighted to put Traudels qualities to good use by stationing her on different reconnaissance vessels as well as assigning her to long-winded border patrol campaigns. Over the years experience was gathered, new corners of star systems explored and the once young and idealistic girl matured. Now, a bit more of a realist, Traudel's path has led back to New Berlin for a specific task.
As only one dream never waned during the decade of service. To one day captain one of the very vessels she, several years ago, started her military career on.
Since returning to the capital and being assigned to different tasks, Traudel managed to catch the eye of not only the Oberkommando of the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr, but also of political figures within the government. For better or worse, the nosy dreamer has managed to navigate herself into the thick of Rheinland's larger scale affairs.
Personality Traits
Overly kind, extremely curious and open-minded. Loyal to a fault. Often at odds with herself.

Background Information
Born as the third son of a farmer on Holstein, Gunter was proud in helping out on the farm. He didn't mind living an uninteresting and unnoticeable life. When the civil war came however, some of his friends joined the Military. Not all of them came back. With the Konstanz base destroyed, war was at his doorstep. He decided to join with the Kaiser's forces. Not because of any loyalty or disdain to either side, but to help finish the war as fast as possible. Some of his friends died already, he wasn't planning on more of them to lose their lives in this conflict.
Fast forward a few years. The war ended. While both parties were not happy with the conclusion, most people were just elated that it ended. Despite not being a great fighter pilot, Gunter received attention for faring well on a capital ship. He rose through the ranks and became one of the youngest members to be on Oberkommando. Excelling in mostly covert operations and ambushes. His first vessel to command- and still his main ship to fly is the KKS-Ostkantone. A Donau class cruiser known for being able to do damage and be fast enough to get out before an enemy can return the favour.
Personality Traits
Calm, collected and cunning. Gunter prefers to convince foes in changing their ways first. Only engaging as a last resort. When he does, he is fast and deadly. He is also merciful, which receives both admiration and disdain from his colleagues.

Personnel File #00555, Kaiserliche Rheinwehr
Name: Erich von Richter
Rank: Konteradmiral
DOB: 789 AS.
Age: 45
Planet of Origin: Stuttgart
Current Status: Actively Serving
Posting: KKS-Kaiser/Festung Grauerort, Lüneburg
Erich von Richter hails from an old farming family in Stuttgart. They held positions on the middle level of the VWS before the organization's restructuring and were Imperial patrons, hence the von. They have held onto their estate despite conditions, but have not been noted associating with extremist groups that would preclude service. His childhood appears to be fairly unremarkable, avoiding student protests and the like. His academic record is of more interest, with fairly good performance on average and even some dual-credit courses through the University of Hamburg, in supply management. With no notable concerns, I see no reason not to clear him for service.
Kadett Erich von Richter
Chosen Track: Logistics/Blended Flight/Military Science
Training Site: Kolonnenplatz, Academy Wing, New Berlin
Instructor Notes: Erich has taken to training quite well. His test results are impressive. Despite his logistics track, he has scored above expectations on his tactical assessments. While not on par with our main combat track students, there is certainly room to grow. His talent in simulations managing logistics is quite good. When we finally begin rearming, his talents will be useful. His blend of courses was fairly diverse, albeit a bit bizarre. His final essay on the Rheinwehr from the 80 Years War to the Colony Wars was quite the read, one that illuminated his choice in courses. I must say his flight talents are a bit questionable, but his penchant for abnormal weapons has compensated for it in some exercises. Some experience running escort runs, perhaps a bit of depot work, and combat experience should mold him into a fine officer.

Interwar Period: After receiving a graduate assignment and passing an initial 1-year field service in New Berlin, posted to the Western Fleet in 813 AS. Service records show a relatively competent officer, aiding planning and escort of supply convoys in Hamburg. Minor combat against Unioner raiders, but little noteworthy action. Promoted to Leutnant in 814 AS. Received promotion to Oberleutnant in 816 AS following traditional service period.
Hudson War: Deployed to the Bering front with RNC-Westphalia battlegroup. Field command of resupply escorts was noted to be extremely vital in sustaining combat operations against Liberty forces. Noted to have commanded the defense during the destruction of a Liberty bomber group during a failed raid on a friendly convoy. Withdrew his unit in good order to Hamburg with casevac transports following the destruction of RNC-Westphalia. Aided superiors in planning the resupply of frontline units following this. Continued to serve in logistics units hazardously resupplying troops defending against Liberty raids. Promoted to Kapitänleutnant in 822 AS for meritorious service. Embarked on extended leave to Stuttgart following the formal end of hostilities in 823 AS.
Northern Fleet/Saigon War: Transferred to Northern Fleet to assist in Munich evacuations following return. Assigned to 1st Supply Flotilla upon the start of the Saigon War to oversee logistics operations. Distinguished service utilizing a Donau to command and escort vital convoys under intense pressure from GMG and KOI raiding forces. Twice promoted to Flottenkapitän following an enemy raid on the unit command ship. Withdrew all personnel under command as ordered following cessation of hostilities.
Pre-Civil War: Generally quiet service, 1st Supply Flotilla delivered equipment to rebuilding units. Ministry of Defence notes abnormalities in shipping and requests an inquiry. Dismissed by Oberkommando as military stockpiling.
Rheinland Civil War: Upon signal, 1st Supply Flotilla units in conjunction with Imperial-aligned marines and fleet detachments begin seizing supply depots and diverting convoys to predetermined rally points. Flottenkapitän von Richter was seen charging across Oder Shipyard with an officer's saber escorted by 1st Supply Flotilla security troopers. Recovered footage shows a confirmed kill on an MND agent attempting to steal an Oder-class gunboat. Extreme activity by irregulars puts the flotilla effectively in a combat role. This culminates in the Thuringia Offensive, where its escort units are forced to fight through heavy opposition to resupply Imperial units. Flottenkapitän von Richter reports the unlikelihood of continued progress. Mutiny across the military forces the end of hostilities.
Post-Civil War: Continued posting with 1st Supply Flotilla to help oversee fleet rebuilding. Provided logistical support for the Dresden Offensive. Promoted to Konteradmiral in 834 AS. and transferred to posting aboard the KKS-Kaiser. Sponsored the "Festung Grauerort" proposal. Current tasking is to repel GMG raiders. See "Festung Grauerort" mission briefing for further details of all current service activity.
