Background
The Kusari Sleeper Ship lands on New Tokyo- 5 A.S. - 100 A.S.
Shortly after planetfall, the Planners decided to restore the title of Emperor as the leader of the Kusari government after centuries of figurehead status. Strong and absolute leadership was needed to rebuild their civilization. The political maneuvering was intense. There were two rivals - Masamune Samura and Yosai Hideyoshi. Ultimately, Hideyoshi won. As a compromise, Samura was offered the presidency of the corporation that would rebuild the industrial might of the Kusari people from scratch. He accepted, and Samura Heavy Industries was incorporated, the first of the two great Kusari industrial conglomerates that dominate commerce in the region to this day.
100-817 A.S.
By 100 AS., Samura had constructed the Yamamoto Shipyard and established its reputation as the premier shipbuilder in Kusari. Over the next several centuries, Samura expanded its gas mining operations throughout Kusari space, began regular trading with the other houses, and perfected the construction of polymer hull panels and shielding. Samura's contracts to construct ships for the Kusari Military remain highly lucrative, while its commercial transports almost entirely dominate that sector. Throughout its history, Samura Heavy Industries has exhibited many of the traits of its founder: methodical, implacable, slow to change, quick to anger.
Recent News - 817 A.S.
Samura Industries, one of Kusari's 'Keiretsu' Sprawling industries that control whole companies across Kusari.
Shinjuku Station, the Corporate Headquarters for the Sprawling industrial complex known as Samura. The history of Samura is deeply intertwined with the Kusari Shogunate, it's ruling body. Samura holds key contracts for the Construction of Kusari Navy and Terraforming operations in the Tau-Borderworlds, and previously held the exclusive rights for the distribution of valuable resources produced by the Gas Miners Guild (GMG). However, Because the agreement with the GMG has recently expired, Samura faces fierce competition for the GMG's business archrival Kishiro Technologies. Samura is also engaged in a protracted disupute With Synth Foods over the race to feed the evergrowing expanding Kusari population.

Name: Alphonse Nishimura
Divison: Shipping/Escort
Ship: I own CTE 750 AE Civilian Starflier "Kurzadia"
Residence: Planet Manhattan, New York System, Liberty Space
Employment/Experience: I spent a brief period as a ship mechanic for Deep Space Engineering on Baltimore Shipyard. I am currently working for Detroit Munitions as a contract freighter, I mainly run small arms and oxygen between Detroit and Harrisburg Station. I see combat very often due to my route running through the Badlands but rarely do I fire on enemy ship due to company protocol on self defense.
Background and Reasoning for applying: I was born on Planent New Tokyo but my famliy moved to Planet New York because of my father getting a job at Deep Space Engineering. I didn't see eye to eye with him on the path that had been laid before me so I quit my job at Deep Space and joined Detroit Munitions however I would like to broaden my horizons and also go back to my roots and be a part of what is happening in Kursai and Samaru seems like the best place to start.
Thank you for your application! Please forward your S.K.Y.P.3 protocols to my private messaging inbox. We'll start your initiation process as soon as possible!
Welcome to the biggest family you'll ever have!

Do you already own a ship / Are you already captaining one / Can you afford one yourself?
I am a capable pilot, and I had many instructors. However, I have lost my ship in a pirate attack and I don't think I can afford another.

I used to run a freighter and sometimes a small transport ship for my family business in New Tokyo system.
A brief background and why you are interested in working for Samura Heavy Industries
Whatever trading my family managed to do we were always disrupted by pirates and we simply could not afford escorts. I knew that this wasn't the life for me, things were not going to get better, so I looked up for the mighty Samura and hopefully one day I can make a name for myself there.
I apologize for this delay, apparently the people usually handling paperwork must be vacationing on beautiful Tomioka, a perk of being a Samura employee.
Those pirates are vicious, always destroying ships and the like! You sound well trained already, which I feel would be a good thing for Samura, so you're definitely hired.
Please report to Shinjuku Station to fill out various employment paperwork and information for your complementary Samura life insurance, as well as receiving a parking spot.
Hanada Tanaka strolls into the an office one day in the middle of the summer heat wave. All he wanted was some air conditioning! The sun outside was killing him. As he looked around, he saw dozens of men and women waiting in line in an orderly fashion.
In the elevator across the room, 9 people stood together in a box formation as the door opened. They walked into the elevator in a disciplined manner, all of whom were equidistant to the person next to them. It was as if they were part of a corporate army of office workers.
Tanaka did not realise he was in a line, and that he was next. A judgemental man sitting on the desk on the opposite side looked at him scornfully, waiting for him to turn in his application. "Well, do you have it?" "Have what?" "The application!", Sigh, another one trying to avoid the heat wave. Listen, if you want to stay in here, at least fill out an application form or else I'm going to have to call security. Our air conditioning isn't free you know!"
Tanaka picked up an application and began to fill it out. As he looked at the offer and the signing bonus, his eyes gleamed. It was time to ditch being walked all over. It was time to make a man of himself. After all, that's what his time as a Navy pilot taught him to do, without giving him the chance to do so.

I do not own a ship yet and I do not have the funds for one either, unfortunately.
Current residence:
Apt No. 6, 77 Hiroshima St. Nobunaga District, Planet Kyushu
Please list past employment, flight, or ship captaining experiences:
I graduated out of high school and joined the KNF immediately. It was around the time of the Gallic Royal Navy's strike. The KNF needed new pilots and had great signing bonus's and my parents had debt to pay, so I honoured my family and joined. My contract is up now, I've learned how to fly a fighter and have one years worth of experience in flying one.
I know flying a fighter and flying a cargo ship is completely different, for one, fighters have one or two engines, cargo ships have many more than that. But I've made it through the military, and I honestly know, not think, know that I can learn to pilot a cargo ship in a short time.
Furthermore, my experience in the naval forces might help if my ship and its crew come across any pirates, we learned some crazy maneuvers in flight school. So theres a good chance you'll have to pay less to pirates with me around!
A brief background and why you are interested in working for Samura Heavy Industries:
Why Samura? Well for one, I don't know much about optronics! That and I want to honour myself and my family by working for the largest corporation in Sirius. If you want to know anything else, just take a look at the "captaining experiences" section, I've written most of my details there already.
Thank you for considering my application, it is very thoughtful of you.

I have been in the employ of 2 major Rheinland Companies, Kruger and Daumann construction. Usually as a forward miner to help fill transports and if needed in cases of defense I was resigned to escort wings.
A brief background and why you are interested in working for Samura Heavy Industries
I was born on planet New Toyko in 795AS, I pretty much lived a normal childhood life. But during the war with house Bretonia the economic situation for a young pilot such as myself were in a sort of dire position. Economic jobs and production because of the war lowered my chances of not getting a good paying job, and even possibly being forced into service of the Navy. So I flew of to Rheinland in hopes for better economic future. Things were well for the time being, but as always things change. And now with the war over I have decided to return to my homeland to see I can possibly have a chance of getting some job that is more then enough to help keep me afloat.
It is unfortunate to hear about your past economic troubles, though surely Samura will be able to turn that run of bad luck around. Having experience is good, especially given the recent boom in resource exploitation we have been undertaking. If you could send me a message directly, I will ensure you can get fully set up and ready to go on Planet Tomioka.

I used to haul oxygen for a small mining company in Hokkaido.
Before it was bought out by a larger corporation.
A brief background and why you are interested in working for Samura Heavy Industries
Well when the mining company was bought out i refused to work for the corporation that had bought them out. So i began doing freelance work. But i missed the safety and comradery that came with working with a company.
