Note: Morrigan is largely inactive now, and is no longer the leader of the RHA. I guess I need to make a new recruiting topic then, eh? Anyhow, as you can tell if you look at our message dump I am trying to whip up more activity, as is the recently returned Dragan.

I wonder if we met in the hallways of Freistadt, unaware that we would meet again in the hallways of Vogtland...regardless, it is an honor to welcome you into the ranks of the RHA. Rekrut Black, just let me know when you'll be available, and I will supply you with the funds you'll need to purchase your fighter. The armory ship can leave Omega-54, but will go no further than Vogtland due to the value of the equipment in her hold. And again, welcome to our little family of Hessians. As has become our custom, my wife will bake a delicious pie for you when you arrive.
Ach, forget it. You get bored when you've been stuck in an escape pod for three days. People ask you...what do you think is the most unpleasant experience of being stuck in a pod?
A bunch of sorry necked hero-wannabes will tell you, "Oh gosh, man, I was really scared! I thought no one was going to rescue me!"
I'll tell you the real truth. The real reason why it's scary to be in a friggin escape pod. My bladder hurts like hell.
Schiza.

There's a lurch. They say that the human body is not a spedometer, but a highly advanced accelerometer.
My body is telling me that I'm moving faster.
The pod suddenly slows down, but my head let me know that one the minute it hit the side of the pod. You'd think that these things would be a little more comfortable, especially since the guy inside is about to die.
I'm going to kill Klienfeld. That...left me for dead.
You might be puzzled at the current moment, but my name is Wolfgang Metz. I'm a Rheinlander, but I don't know why I was named after a sleepy little town in Austria.
I'm joining up with the Hessians, simply because I'm tired of hypocrisy. I saw it as a child growing up, and I'm getting spoonfed it by the Chancellor now.
Getting stuck in that escape pod taught me a couple of things...
1) Never drink before you fly out and eat plenty of food if you do.
2) I decided that I would fight for the people of Rheinland. Perhaps, as a Hessian, there is a chance I can change something. I couldn't as a pilot of the military, but I haven't given up hope yet.
If you get this message, I'm probably stuck on some Bundschuh base talking to a bunch of misguided, trigger-happy, intellectuals.
Yours,
Wolfgang Metz.

It is good to know that there are still free minds amongst the Kanzler's brainwashed hordes...welcome to the fold, Wolfgang. Since the Eismaid is still down for repairs after that jaunt into the sun's corona to jettison some hazardous material, I will simply bring my two-seat Thor. The hold is small, but should be large enough for any belongings that could fit aboard a standard Valkyrie or Wrath.
Again, welcome to the RHA. I believe you will find that we, like you, are fighting for change within Rheinland.

I have spent the better part of my life stricken with an intense loathing of the ego-maniacal, corporate-feeding mockery of a government whom control Rhineland, to such an extent that most would call me mad. If only they knew the horrors of which has been shielded from their eyes, the debauchery of humanization, the utter collapse of commonwealth, its plainly enough to make one sick. Though most go unaware, happily devouring the synthetic propaganda so adamantly promulgated by the high end aristocrats, who would happily destroy the lives of the dregs if it meant they might make a credit
If there is one thing in this universe which gnaws at my sanity more than the disgusting disregard of decency seen in the Rhineland Governments, its the indifference of good men! The Ignorance of the masses! The apathy of the learned! This unwillingness to better ones surroundings is a crime against nature, and must be remedied.
I stand to join the ranks of the Red Hessians to raise awareness of the Oppressive governments of Rhineland Space. I will bring a silver violin to the ears of the galaxy, one which no man can ignore. All will hear the song of the underprivileged, all will hear the call of justice, and all will hear the Red Hessians marching to battle.
((OOC: I am very new to this server, but have really fallen in love with this mod. I currently have a trader and really enjoy that aspect of this game. If The Red Hessians need skilled smugglers or traders, I can be of much service. I am also quite familiar with heavy fighters. I have always loved what the Red Hessians have stood for, and in fact the very first character I played in freelancer was a hessian.))
-Propsed Character name/callsign: Richard Pickman (Caine)
-Desired ship(s): I will fly whatever the red hessians need me to, though I am most comfortable with heavier ships and freighters.
-Include any RP information about your character: Included above: A Nihilist, atheistic radical who spends much of his time devoted to anti-political visual artwork, after the Rhineland military found Caines artwork, they burned the lot of it, condemning it as anti-nationalistic and propagating terrorism. Caine spent 3 years in jail under charges of inciting riots and conspiracy. This unjust attack of civil rights only fed the fuel to Caines fire, but now it must be taken to a new level. Spoken word and artwork was not enough anymore, real action must be taken, He must join the Red Hessians.
- Let us know all other factions in which you have characters: freelance Trader.
- Tell us why you want to join RHA: The RHA is something that stands for the people at a realistic level, bypassing clich? political masks like democratic republics and communisms, and gives the people their true meaning. I want to stand for humanity at its core.
- Tell us your Time Zone and your typical days/times playing FL Disco: East Coast VA (Eastern Time) I play Monday-Thursday from 11am-3pm and 10pm-2am and sporadically on weekends.

Hail to you, brother! I come offering my services to this most noble of causes! I have been escorting military convoys in my Rheinland gunboat as a private escort contractor for quite some time, but recently I have been threatened with the loss of my livelihood after the Rheinland Military have decreed that all such convoy escorts will be performed by them in the future, despite the fact they don't have enough forces to protect the civilians as it is.
Yet at the whim of Daumann Construction they move vital forces to protect their precious convoys, putting yet more people out of work and further endangering the civilians they are so-called sworn to protect. Having had enough of this corporate corruption and unlimited capacity for greed on the part of the Rheinland government, I have decided to throw in my lot with the true soul of Rheinland, fighting for the common people!
I await your reply, and hope that I may join your ranks very soon.

Your story is a new one; I believe you're the first out-of-work escort pilot to join our ranks. But, I cannot say that I'm terribly surprised...the fascists are overextending themselves, and if anything, it will be their undoing. Welcome to the Red Hessian Army, Rekrut Wettin. I look forward to serving with you.

Test test.... is this thing on?... Ok.. Good
To whom it may concerns.
My name is Tyrienous van Schwarzes. Callsign: Verlorenes . I am recording this message aboard my ship the Darkhallows Run. If you are hearing this message then i am in luck. At this point in time i am sitting comfortably aboard my ship adrift some where in New Berlin. My engines are dead, my oxygen is half empty, and i am as one would say "neck deep in sauerkraut." Please forgive my lack of optimism at this point in time but i am quite doubtfull that any one is actually reading this. Any way onto the buisness at hand..... HELP ME !!!!!. I was attacked by a corsair gunship on a return voyage from what i thought was a succesfull run of diamonds to the New Tokyo System. It would appear now that my thoughts were wrong as my ship was attacked, Cargo pods destroyed and my haul stolen with me left for dead adrift in what i think would be the New Berlin system. Who knows these days... days... yes.. how many days has it been..... how do i know im even still alive... maybe this is a dream.
Any way.... all this talking is just a waste of oxygen.. No one is going to read this. But any way, if by some strange reason the gods allow an a bastard like me to survive i will be forever in your debt and will humbly join what ever cause you believe in as long as i get a chance to kill these no good corsairs in any way possible.
These have been the potential last words of Tyrienous..
If im not already dead when you get this.
Please help.

OOC talk:)
Enough of roleplay. Down to buisness
My name is adzy and i wish to humbley join your cause. I am a Corsair hating trader atm with decent pirating skills and not to shabby pvp skills. But any way
Have some details..
Character info:
Name : Tyrienous van Schwarzes
Callsign: Verlorenes (lost one)
Shipname: Freight: Darkhallows Run
Fighter: Herzklinge (heart sword)
Backstory:
Born and raized on a transport freighter.. Tyrienous had travelled all accros sirius.
He worked aboard his fathers freighter till he had saved enough money to buy his own ship
and begin his own freight work. Whilst returning to New Berlin from a successfull trade of
diamonds to New Tokyo he was attacked by a corsair raiding party. His ship was destroyed,
his cargo of Niobium was looted and he was left for dead; adrift in the middle of no where.
As the oxygen in his pod began to deminish and he had said every prayer he could, a
Red Hessian pirate happened apon his pod. Tyrienous had fallen unconcious
from lack of oxygen but upon his awakening he found himself in a warm bed.
Since that day, Tyrienous has unoficcialy worked for the RHA. At first he just wanted
nothing more then an opportunity to seek revenge upon his attackers. But with each passing
day he found himself more and more entrenched within red hessian affairs. As such he now
wishes to officially join the RHA in the fight for freedom of oppression in the Rheinland
sector.
Personal details.
Name: Adric
Country: Australia
Timezone: GMT 10+
Usually on. between 6pm and 12am but quite frequently all day long:D
Reasons for joining: RP sais it all revenge upon corsairs that raided my ship.
I fight in dresden in hessian fraction for few months and I believe there will be one day only 1 clan inside red hesian fraction because in unity is power. I think RHA will be that 1 universal clan. I offer my odin and his pilot into service of RHA.

You have an interesting first name for a Rheinlander. As you may have guessed from the mere existance of this message, I cannot leave a man to die in the void like that, especially not at the hands of the wicked Corsairs. I'm dispatching a heavily-modified Camara from Vogtland to find you and pick you up.
As to our cause, there's much more to it than killing Corsairs. They are our first priority, but the corrupt government of Rheinland and their brainwashed military are also important targets...and most of all, the shipping that supports them. My friend, if you join us you will have to get used to the idea of stopping transports; but unlike the Corsairs, you'll find that we don't leave the crew of the transports we're forced to destroy to die in space.
-----------------------------------------------
OOC: PvP skills aren't as important in this faction as RP skills are, and it certainly seems that you have those.:)Though we're constantly surrounded by enemies and have to flee more often than fight, I'd rather see you enjoying yourself and doing some good writing and interacting in-game and on the forums than posting loads of kill messages.;)And we're a global faction; I'm in Texas in America, but we also have a Lithuanian, a German, and a Canadian, among others. And we can arrange times a bit so you don't have to fly alone.

Your name sounds Kusari...perhaps you are from the GMG? Regardless, if you're to join us, I hope it's for stronger reasons than you believe we'll someday be the last Hessians. I hope it's because you believe in our ideals, the concepts our ancestors have fought and died for over the past 116 years. If you can assure me of this, that you know what you are getting into - and provide more details about who you are, and where you're coming from - then I will be glad to accept you into the RHA.

Yes it sounds Kusari because it is Kusari name. I was borned on planet Kyushu. When I was six, my father lost his job. My family had small shop with old books and paitings for generations and now was gone. After 3 years without work, my father made decision. He spendt all last money for tickets into Rheinland and employ himself in Dauchman company but our ship was attacked by corsairs in sigma 13. Money, jewels etc etc... from passengers and whole ship. That was corsair loot. Some passenger was taken as slaves, few was shooted and few was in escape pods. I was in escape pod number 2, mom and dad in 4. After 3 hours in space, ship with Daumann call sign flyed over our escape pods. They take parents pod aboard ship but they refused take rest of pods including mine.... their ship was full of stupid diamonds and I heard in transmitter how they refuse drop few crates and take rest of pods... diamonds had biger price than human live. After another 3 hours we were saved by Outcast smugle ship... they drop own cardamine and take us aboard. Outcast ship discharge us on Bundshuch station. I lived there 13 years.... Im more Rheinlander than Kusari. Now Im member of Red Hesian fraction but I havent clan and you now rest of my story...
