Personality: Calm, Trigger Happy, Insane devotion to personal loyalty
History:
Born in the year 790 AS, Austin Goodmen lived a normal life until his friend was exiled for hacking into the Armed Forces defense line in Cambridge. He gratuated from Cambridge Military University around the age of Twenty Five, where he served the Volunteer Fleet for a few years before enlisting in the Armed Forces.
Ensign in the Bretonian Armed Forces, Austin Goodmen considers himself one of the best Ensigns (at fighting) in the fleet. He normally jokes about it but when its time to be serious he's on task. Currently his rival in same squadron as him is Tom Ramey. No one really knows why, safe to say, Austin doesn't know either.
When not on duty, Austin tends to keep to himself in the local pub in London City or on the HMS Suffolk, he doesn't drink, just goes and relaxes.
Fellow Armed Forces Pilots, including James Hobart, Austin's squadron leader as far as Austin is concerned, Joke about what Austin considers his "Hippy, Stalker, Lady", seeing how one day on Patrol a Gaian female, started to follow Austin. Austin normally gets annoyed with his fellow pilots but tends to, sometimes, ignore it.
Probably one of the few Lawful pilots to keep a list of everyone whose annoyed him.
The year is 817 AS, and Austin Goodmen is an experienced pilot on the frontlines of the war. Dealing with both domestic and foreign threats. Austin Goodmen was also given two titles, Prince of the Paladin, and then King of the Paladin. Which he gladly accepted for his piloting skills with a Paladin fighter.
One of his recent missions was an escort mission, the only type of mission he hates. It was to escort the Bretonian Prime Minister to New York, he found it as an opportunity to try to get his chance at being knighted, one of his goals in life. On the way back the Prime Minister ship was engaged in New London. Luckily, Austin quickly snapped into action and held off one of the fighters until the HMS WhiteHall was safe in the Salisbury system. At which point Austin was forced to eject from his ship.

Bretonia Broadcasting Corporation
817 A.S. - Earlier today, the Prime Minister's office confirmed rumors of an attack on the HMS Whitehall, which was carrying Prime Minister Mountbatten back from a diplomatic conference in Liberty. The attack was believed to have been carried out by a pair of independent Corsair pirates who were not connected to any known major Corsair faction.
Despite taking heavy fire, the Whitehall was able to escape from the pirates with only minimal damage, and is presently undergoing repairs at a secure BAF facility. Prime Minister Mountbatten himself is unharmed. The escorting fighter, piloted by BAF Ensign Austin Goodmen, was destroyed in the fighting, but the Ensign's escape pod was retrieved, and he is also unharmed. BAF and third party reports indicate that Ensign Goodmen's brave resistance was what allowed the Prime Minister to escape the firefight and make it to saftey.
While it is believed that this was an attack of opportunity, rather than a planned assault on the Prime Minister, the BAF continues to investigate the details of the attack. BBC will follow this story as it develops.
At the recent award ceremony, Austin Goodmen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and received the "Carina's Cross" for holding off a Corsair Bomber while the Prime Minister's ship (HMS-WhiteHall) escaped to Salisbury.

Ships: Last Seens; Eagle Personality: Calm and Secretive
History:
Born in the year 773 AS, Shade Yuka grew up on New London, living half of his child hood in New London, his family then moved to Kyushu, Where they soon fell ill and died. Shade was immune to the diease. Around the age of Fifteen he managed to steal a ship and headed off into the unknown. His quest brought him to Freeport 9, where he purchesed an Eagle for rather cheap money. That's when he headed to Omicron Minor, after hearing stories.
Shade Yuka served as a Freelance Order Pilot, along side Edison Trent, in the war against the Nomads. During one mission ((//Never happened in SP.)) a raid against an Alien Outpost in an Uncharted Omicron system, Shade's ship was shot down and eventually crashed into a frozen planet. For year's people thought he was dead, in fact they still do.
However, upon crashing on the frozen wasteland, Shade Yuka woke up on a strange, alien like station. Laying a few meters away from his ship, which he saw get destroyed as he ejected, that was in perfect condition. Upon reaching and opening the cockpit door, Shade saw an Artifact, much similar to the one Edison Trent had. Except, it wasn't a map or key.
This baffled him as he began his own personal quest to find answers. He should be dead, he wasn't, but he should be. Upon undocking from the strange station he set his course to Liberty. Where he would begin his personal quest for answers.
Upon reaching Liberty space, he dreaded what he found. Nomads, making an attack on Liberty. However, he chased them down has they fled in a giant circle, from New York, back to New York. Finally reaching New York once more he moved to a secured location and sent a burst transmission. He wasn't sure what would show up, but he was sure that if it was the nomads, or the Guardians, he would have his own playing card. Moments later, two blue dots appeared in the distance, and they where coming closer. At this moment he did not fear what he feared during the nomad wars. He only had questions, and they...had answers.
Since then, he has settled down in Freeport 14 as a Delegate for the station. He also likes to travel.

History:
I was born on the Planet Hamburg in the Hamburg system. When I was around the age of ten my families ship was attacked by Red Hessian pirates. We didn't escape. My Mother and Father where killed by an internal explosion, life support was failing, and I was holding onto what little life I had left. Looking out the view port I saw the familiar engine glows of a flight wing of Valkyries. Since that day I respected the Rheinland Military
Five Years later, living with my Grandparents, I started to research the history of the Rheinland Military, from the start of the 80 year war, to the current times. After researching I decided to save up every credit I earned. So I started working a few jobs here and there until I had enough funds, and was old enough. I was 18 years old when I started training in piloting. When I was on a standard flight outside of the Hamburg orbit I caught a glimpse of a firefight between Pirates and Military. The Rheinland ships where greatly out numbered this time. Normally training vessel's weren't equipped with weapons, but this was my personal ship. So I went to aid. After a good thirty minutes of fighting, the pirate forces decided to withdrawal. Little to my knowledge it was because of the Rheinland Gunboat approaching. Seconds after the withdrawal of the pirate vessel's, my ship's communications channel opened up to a Rheinlander thanking me.
This meant something.
I was wired a decent sum of credits, enough for repairs and re-supply. With this I continued to work towards my goal. Over the years I continued to study flight and military maneuvers, I also went out to aid any fighter I could, that needed it.
At the age of 20, my Grand-parents died, Waiting a few months after my grand-parents death's, I took a trip to the Battleship Westfalen. One of the oldest battleship in the Rheinland Fleet. Though the trip was cut short, and my life was endanger yet again, luckily for me Rheinland Military Fighters where en-route, my ship was heavily damaged by the time the fight was over and they escorted me to the Westfalen. My life up until now has been pretty slow, I haven't been off Hamburg for a good four years, and am looking for action.

Like Charles Darwin's 'HMS Beagle', and the Martian space probe 'Beagle 2', the Beagle III serves as a research vessel for the House of Bretonia. The name carries a history with it, the "Beagle" was first launched in 11th of May 1820, the ship was sent out on a voyage of discovery and scientific gathering, on her second Voyage she carried the young naturalist Charles Darwin, whose scientific success made the Beagle one of the most famous ships in the entire history.
In the old terran year of 2003, an agency known as the European Space Agency launched the "Beagle 2", which skipped off course from Mars and headed into orbit around the sun, and ultimately burned up. No information about the "Beagle 2" has been uncovered.
Now, after a long history, the Bretonian Government has requested the help from Professor Raven Smith, an expert in Xenobiology. Professor Smith was the captain of an independent research crew on the RSV Jericho, which was ultimately grounded for unknown reasons, many of the crew suspect sabotage from another scientist.
The Beagle III is drydocked in Southampton. The crew has finished installing a new Artifical Intelligence program, that called itself "Jovi" after the lead singer of "Bon Jovi." Other then the AI itself, knows why the AI decided to call itself that.

Crew:
Franklin James
History:
Little is known about the Merlin other then it was named after an Ancient wizard. The Captain of the Merlin is Civilian, and wages his own personal battles against Kusari.
The Merlin is a Bretonian Large Transport, that was drafted into the war to aide and serve the Queen's forces. Though the Armed Forces don't like getting Civilians involved in wars, Captain Franklin James is a clever pilot.
The Merlin has served in recent events such as the Prisoner Exchange between Kusari and Bretonia. Exchanging Commander John Miyagi, for Lieutenant Austin Goodmen. It is also known that the Merlin travels behind enemy lines and runs supplies for Privateer Forces, and MacDuff Forces.
Althought the Merlin is dubbed "Her Majesty's Ship" or "HMS" (for short.) The Merlin is not a warship. The ship is charged with moving Supplies, Prisoners, and Goods from, to, and around Bretonian Space, thus meaning that the Merlin can sometimes be seen returning to Bretonian space with Military goods from Rheinland and Liberty.
