Good day sir. Human Resources has reviewed your application and wishes to offer you a position as a provisional Trade Combine captain. We can provide you with a new crew, should your current one wish to remain unaffiliated with the main Bowex umbrella corporation.
We'll send you a contract. Once you've signed it in triplicate and returned it, your employment can be considered active. The contract will detail your contractual obligations to the Firm, as well as the perks and benefits of working with us.
Report in to your shift Trade Combine Supervisor, and they'll point you in the right direction. Your first step should be to have your ship re-registered at Scarborough. From there, you'll be contacted with further instructions and on-the-job training, as required. Best of luck to you.
Sincerely,
Ms J. Frances

Borderworlds Exports application form 8209-2727
- What is your full name?
Johnathan Albert Brighton
- Where do you live?
Shipboard, mostly. New London is my home.
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Previously employed planetside on New London in restocking and groundside transport for the BMM. Did some freelance trade on the side for a few years to see some more of the universe but now I'm looking for a safer, steadier term of employment.
- To what division are you applying?
Looking to apply for the shipping division.
- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
I don't own a proper trading ship, but I've got the capital to buy a Clydesdale scraped up and sitting in my account on the Net. Right now I'm working out of a scrap CSV with the biggest holes patched.
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I suppose I'd name it the Caxton, after the first man to bring the printing press to the shores of the original British Isles. Not only did he do that, but he made a tidy profit using it too, and there's a lesson to be learned there.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Truthfully it's the money first. I'd like to make a living for myself out there in the black. But besides that, I've always wanted to live out among the stars, and there's no better way to get out into the borders than with a shipping contract in your hand and a sworn duty to Queen and Country to push out towards the frontier.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
Well, I come from good Old Scottish stock. My father was a tradesman on New London and on his small wage I didn't get much schooling that I didn't give myself. Despite that, I've gotten fairly well-read over the years on my own. I love books, and space flight gives me plenty of time to catch up on my reading. I love to be behind the controls of a ship, it's a liberating feeling, but damn if I don't hate some of the people up there. The Mollies, the Corsairs, the Gaians... They drive me nuts. Always after the smallest bloke's cash when we can't even pay rent. Bullies is all they are.
**Attached: Thank you for your time, J. Brighton**

Full Name: Andy Tresher
Place I live: New London
Last place of employment : I was a bartender at Thames Outpost. From there i learned about many profitable trade routs and tips for miners and traders.
Division: I apply to the shipping division
Ship: I don't own a ship, but i intend to buy a crane.
I would name my ship Thor's_Angel.
I am interest to work for Bowex becuase I am looking for a new way to make money, to meet new people, build new relationships and explore the Universe.
As a bartender, you usually have many things to do: serve people, often wash the glasses, help people with some smart answer or just look that the bar is all right. But sometimes, I just find myself having some spare time. Than, I start talking with different space travelers who usually have grate stories to tell. From them i found out about the terrorist organisation called Order, about the wrecks in the Sirius Sector and about how hard is to deal with pirates.
But one thing i really don't like is when people get drunk and start to tell stories that shouldn't be told, which sometimes can get me many troubles, so it is a familiar think when Armed Forces knock at my door in the morning and ask me a bunch of questions.
The bartender life is easy and fun, but if you don't know to get the best from it you will find it many times boring.

To: Mr J. Brighton. From: Ms J. Frances, Human Resources, Services. RE: Application.
Good day to you sir. Upon reviewing your application, Human Resources and Services is happy to approve your full time contract with the Bowex corporation. We are offering you a provisional place as a Trade Combine trainee captain. After a short skills assessment to acertain your bridge leadership skills, you'll be assigned a standard Percheron class transport, and a deck crew of five. Further crew members can be hired at your own discretion and expense.
You may also elect to replace your CSV freighter with one of our newer alpha-frame Clydesdales. This will come at no expense to yourself, being one of the options included in our starter-package. For a small penalty to their overall cargo capacity, the alpha-frame is a far more combat worthy and versatile ship than the stock Clydesdale. If you have any questions relating to our Clydesdale models, enquire on Scarborough, or ask for ExSec Manager Peterson.
Your contract has been dispatched to you. Sign it in triplicate, then return it to the Bowex Services branch that is most convenient for you. Report to Scarborough and find your duty Supervisor in order to get sorted. I'm sure the transition to working for the Firm will be smooth and pleasant. Further instructions and on-the-job training will be provided.
Sincerely,
Ms J. Frances
Human Resources, Services.

To: Mr A. Tresher. From: Ms J. Frances, Human Resources, Services. RE: Application.
We do have concerns relating to your application, mostly regarding how much flight experience a bartender might have. That said, we're happy to accept your application on the grounds that you take a piloting proficiency exam. This is simply to enable us to fully assess your skillset and allocate you the tasks best suited to your talents. We'll dispatch you a provisional Trade Combine trainee captain.
Your starter contract enables you to claim a single Percheron class transport and an alpha-frame Clydesdale class freighter. Unless you already have preferences for a crew, Services will supply you with an initial five deck staff. Further crew members may be hired at your own discretion and expense.

To: Mr D. Shade. From: Ms J. Frances, Human Resources, Services. RE: Application.
Well, you're blunt and to the point. I'll give you the same courtesy - your application seems fine, and we're certainly interested in bringing you aboard with a temporary contract. This will of course mean you're on probation as a trainee-come-intern.
Should your contract receive an upgrade after your probationary period, you'll be approved to rent accommodation on Planet Leeds. Company housing is located in one of the less sordid regions and the monthly discount you'll receive is superb. Should you wish to do so, you will eventually be able to apply for Bretonian citizenship and gain unlimited access to government initiatives such as the NHS.
When you're ready, head to Scarborough Shipyard in Newcastle. They'll be able to alter your transponder output and upgrade your ID security clearances. You'll also need to contact the Combine Shift Supervisor for briefing on your new freight duties, and an ExSec Department Manager to enquire about security moonlighting.
Welcome to the company.
Sincerely,
Ms J. Frances

Most of the time? On my ship, or wherever my trade route starts and ends, the life of a true trader is out in space.
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Before I decided to ally myself with the Borderworld Exports I was an Independent trader, hauling around goods in my Mammoth, I have plans for greater things now! I am a self made man, having started with a small loan from a friend of mine I acquired a basic 500 cargo freighter and worked to pay him back, eventually acquiring the mammoth through some haggling and various deals.
- To what division are you applying?
The Shipping division.
- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
I worked my way up to purchasing a Series "DL" Border Worlds Transport then progressed further towards my goal of large, well armed and protected shipments with my Shire-class Bretonia Container Transport.
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I have always used my first name, Astartes, as my call sign. (But if I had to give my ship a name I'd use the nickname that came with it, example: 'Shire' )
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Exporting goods to distant, exotic and dangerous locations has always been a passion of mine, I enjoy the long travels and the thrill of traversing dangerous and unknown space, avoiding bandits or even destroying them if the need arises. Oh and of-course the money, and good trader looks for the best profits.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
Well let's see, I dislike the way traders are harassed and robbed so often in this day by pirates, smugglers and sometimes even corrupt police. I plan on putting myself forwards as a force to be reckoned with, my shire is more than a simple trader, it is a flying fortress, and I won't hesitate to help a friend in need. I am not sure if I will upgrade again, but if I do I will certainly miss the firepower. I like having company, traveling through space with friends, exploring, being part of something big, something that is making a difference. True these are the reasons I want to join up with Bowex, but it just shows how it is the perfect job for me.
Thank you for your time, I wish to hear from Bowex soon.
A short person walks into the room. He seems to be mad about something with no reason. He gets his application form and goes into the corner to fill it up.
