Welcome to the Liberty Navy Texas Armada, 56'th Division. Yeehaw!
The 4-56'th is a proud, hardworking organization, with dedicated men and women who are eager to serve Liberty with all of their might, heart and soul. And I reckon you came here to see if you've got what it takes to be a part of this esteemed group, eh?
Well, I've got news for you, kid. You ain't got what it takes.
The Texas system is called Liberty's "criminal spawning pool", and it ain't called that for nothing. Half of this system's covered in God-forsaken junk, while a half of that junk's always trying to kill people, and the rest of the junk that ain't killing people is harboring all sorts of criminals, pirates and misfits. The 4-56'th deals with some of the meanest, toughest, roughest and coldest bad-eggs Liberty space has to offer. We fight off Independent Pirates, Deers, Frogs, Rogues, Hackers, Xenos, Outcasts, even the occasional Corsair on a daily basis. We keep finding shady smugglers, sometimes even Junkers, hauling Cardamine from the North and bringing back Artifacts from the South. The ones we manage to capture and incarcerate into some of Texas' numerous slammers are always fixing to break out, while the ones we don't manage to capture come back and send fleets after us.
So unless you're comfortable with fighting against overwhelming odds, you ain't got what it takes. Unless you're willing to read through a whole mess of laws, red-tape and walls-of-text guaranteed to gouge out your eyeballs, you ain't got what it takes. Unless you believe, live and breathe in the Texas Dream, and are willing to give up your life to see it realized, you sure as hell ain't got what it takes...
... Still here? Good. Cause you may not have what it takes, but if you manage to pass this recruitment process, we'll make sure that you do.
Below are two papers you need to fill out for your recruitment application: your Resume/Autobiographical form, and your Questionnaire form.
The Resume/Autobiographical form is where you'll put in your person details, your work experiences, and your life details so far. The coding has already been conveniently placed for you: all you've got to do is copy the coded form, and change the spaces indicated as <REPLACE> with the needed details. This form is what you'll post in this channel here.
The Questionnaire form is how your paper-pushing skills will be tested. There is no convenient format for you to follow here, for it is meant to also test how well you can organize your paperwork. Simply answer the questions indicated, it ain't necessary for you to copy them. Use the Relevant Links to help you in answering some of these. Do NOT post your Questionnaire form here: send it instead to 4-56| Headquarters via a Private Message.
I highly reckon you use the S-KYP3 Communications Network. It's considered mandatory after being accepted into the 4-56'th. If you ain't got the program, you may update your Neural-Net Interface with it HERE.
Should you be accepted as a new addition into your desired Branch, you are to procure on your own the equivalent starter ship of your chosen Branch (Combat/Logistics), or make your presence known by your fellow Branchmates (Science). Fulfill the necessary duties for your entry-rank to be accepted as a full-fledged member. That's where the real action begins.
1.)Undocking from Planet Houston on your first patrol in your new BDR-337 'Executioner', the moment you exit the Docking Ring your ship gets ambushed by a Civilian Shuttle. You manage to dodge, but not before it disables your shields. You quickly scan the ship, and find it's Level 25 and has a Recruit ID, Junker IFF. What do you do, and why?
2.)Assuming you destroyed the Civilian Shuttle, you realize there was another ship that witnessed the entire battle. The pilot of this ship seems to be suffering from Harris Syndrom, talking with angry 'emoticons' and bad grammar as he threatens to sanction you for destroying a Level 25 Recruit-ID'ed pilot. What do you do, and why?
3.)Later in your patrol, at FortBush Junction you witness a Liberty Dreadnought, a Liberty Assault Battlecruiser, and a Liberty Gunboat attacking a lone Pirate ID'ed Waran. What do you do, and why?
4.)While patrolling Manhattan Junction, you spot a Kusari Gunboat that had a Bretonian Forward Gun, Recruit ID, and Rheinland Military IFF. The gunboat says it's trying to roleplay as a Junker with faulty equipment and transponders. What do you do, and why?
5.)Arriving back on Houston Junction, you spot an Artifact-loaded freighter cruising by. Disrupting him, you demand him to drop his goods, but he doesn't reply. You give one more warning, to which he doesn't respond either, so you shoot him and his contraband down. Shortly after, you dock on Planet Houston and were just about to log off, but then he PM's you and begins cursing and insulting you, the factions you're in, your country, your intelligence, your beliefs, your caste, your family, and your mother. What do you do, and why?
6.)Another day, another patrol. But this time, you have a wingman: 4-56|LN-Maverick.T-D. While patrolling the lanes to the Hudson Jumpgate, you spot a Rogue Gunboat and an Advanced Train, apparently having a friendly conversation. Maverick, however, thinks the trader is being held hostage. He blurts out, "Like hell y'all be havin' a smooth chit-chat. Recruit, keep 'em disrupted while I lay the devil on high water." and begins to attack the gunboat. The Rogue replies, "engaging," before retaliating. What do you do, and why? Were there any rules broken? If so, what were they?
7.)You and 4-56|LN-Victor.Keys-C are fighting against two Rogue Werewolves within a 10k radius of Houston Junction. Suddenly, a Rogue Destroyer cruises into the battle and uses its Solarises to attack. Victor Keys, supposing the group needed anti-capital capability, flees the battle, docks on Houston, and commands the 4-56|LNS-Florida.Keys-I to unmoor from Houston and engage the Destroyer. Has Victor Keys committed a rule violation? If so, what rule(s) were broken?
8.)You and 4-56|LN-Harriet.F-D were patrolling the lane towards Bering, when you both spot a Rogue Destroyer pirating a Cryer| transport hauling Stabiline. When negotiations break down, you both quickly engage the destroyer. During the battle, the destroyer suddenly F1's in space, and escapes. Hours later, the pirate PM's you with an apology, saying his internet connection got cut. Has the pirate committed a rule violation? If so, what rule(s) were broken?
9.)While patrolling with 4-56|LN-Harriet.F-C near Norfolk Junction, you both see a spam of // in system chat that were directed towards Harriet as insults and such. Knowing Harriet's short temper, it's only a matter of time until she retorts in equal manner. How do you respond to all of this?
10.)You were patrolling the Houston Junction when [LN]-Remus.Sius PM's you, saying there's a GRN fleet mobilizing in the Taus right now, and may threaten Freeport 4 in the immediate future. Checking the Chat Window, sure enough you notice 6 GRN vessels in Tau-31. Remus then orders you to mobilize as many LN-affiliated vessels toward Freeport 4 ASAP. What do you do, and why?
~ Part II: Liberty-Related Questions ~
1.)Name the current members of the [LN] Admiralty. (Forum name, character name and rank) 2.)Name the current members of the 4-56| High Command of the three branches. (Character name and rank.) 3.)What is our current diplomatic status with:
a.) Bretonia b.) Kusari c.) Rheinland d.) Gallia
4.)What weapons are acceptable for use by a Recruit in the 4-56'th? 5.)How would you deal with a "Nephilim" Zoner Dreadnought, which had no guns, a Jump Drive, and was carrying 1500 Passengers onboard, that was floating in Pennsylvania space? 6.)We currently operate a trade embargo with another house. Explain what this means, and what house we are operating this embargo. 7.)List five commodities we consider contraband. 8.) List one commodity considered contraband when carried by unauthorized factions. (commodity name, and faction(s) authorized to deliver it) 9.)List three pieces of equipment and three gunboat-class or lower ships we consider contraband. 10.)List two situations where Junkers are considered criminals.
~ Part III: 4-56'th Culture ~
1.)The Texas Armada military anthem is this old Earth song, "American Soldier." (Link to Song) Briefly, in your own words, outline 5 reasons why this song was chosen. 2.)Briefly translate into basic English what the following statement means:
"Partner, I mighty-reckon you just dun yourself with the Deer. Hate to break it to ya, but I guess my boomstick's fixin' to have a hell of a rodeo with that rear fender of yours."
3.)If you were given the chance to sleep with Harriet (if you're male) or Maverick (if you're female),would you take it, and why? 4.)At a bar, you see a Xeno, a Liberty Rogue, a Lane Hacker, and a Junker arguing. They look like they're about to brawl, and the bartender prefers it not to happen. What do you do?

Desired Branch to Apply In: Combat
Short Biography: Born on planet Erie, i grew up there, finished school and all. As a kid i had a passion for the military, as the navy was a family tradition. Then i saw that Gallia was pushing towards us, and the conflict with Rheinland getting more complicated, so i decided joining the Navy. Before that my biggest problem was delivering the gorceries without breaking the eggs.
Next thing i knew i was on a train to West Point Military Academy.
After soldiering for the navy, I saw action in the Rheinland front, the gallic front and even taking down mobsters in liberty.
Then i met Admiral Harriet and I first heard of the 4-56 and as it is a defensive force of handpicked people, i found it in my interests, so i applied.

Name: Sclario Vitanza Age: 25 Birthplace: Planet Cambridge Gender: Male Height & Weight: 187 cm 81 kg Close Relatives: Carlo Vitanza, Natalia Vitanza Previous Fields of Work: Bounty hunter, Freelancer. Experience: I’ve seen a lot of nasty things, still I’d say average Timezone: GMT+1 SKYP-3 Communication Details: veltroveloce Desired Branch to Apply In: Combat
Short Biography: I was born on Cambridge. Studied there, my grades were not that good, lil’ below the average. As soon as I could, I’ve joined the Bounty Hunters. Family tradition I’d say. Father is a hunter, and so was his grandfather, so I’ve thought, why not?
Before ye ask me at gunpoint, yes my family has some Corsair relations. But other than the name, nothing remained from the families past.
As for the reasons of joining, you see, I was born on Cambridge, but spent most of my time in liberty. Either assisting my father with whatever I could, or just did some minor jobs for traders.
Since two forces are right on the doorstep of Liberty, some fresh recruits could come handy. I have spent some of my time in Texas, cleaning the pest out from the system, so that one can live the Texas dream.
