I open an eye… Oh Joder! Torrential vapours kick, inability to look straight, struggling… I’m going to puke. I fall down to sleep again. I’m conscious, I think… I hear a high pitch noise. Is it in my head? I can’t tell. My ideas aren’t clear. I’m desperate for some water. Where am I? How the hell did I end up in this cockpit? I don’t own a ship eh… Is this planet Crete?
Rivers of different sensations is passing through my body, none of them are nice. I can’t have a clue on what happens last night. Mierda… I’m wasted. How the hell do I open that canopy? Just open you... I quit, I’m unable open it. And where does that alarm noise come from? I need to wake up. I can’t believe this! The opening button was right there. Oh my god fresh air! Relief. Oh demonic alcohol. I can’t hold you down, I can’t hold you up. What have you done with me again this time? Alright Benedicto Haje! Time to use your nerve cells for once. Why are you in a ship that’s not yours and why are you on Crete? I obviously crashed here. And what type of ship is this? A Praetorian? What? Why am I in a combat ship? Who the hell does this ship belongs to? How could I know? That hang over isn’t really helping. The transponder! I’ll check that. It must reveal at least what IFF is being displayed. Oh no! Did I really steal a [TBH] ship! I’m a dead fried meat. Holy Mierda that is the worst thing I could ever do in my 31 years delightful life as a ship thug. I need to think quickly and figure a way to give the ship back. TBH ship… TBH ship… Rum! There must be some left inside the bay. At least I won’t die hanging over. A la salud! Haha! All seems better now! This day is going to be great! Geez, that Rum gives me the buzz. Now let’s save myself! I’ll bring this ship to their recruitment center and pretend I’m one of their new recruit pilots. God I’m so clever. Let’s do this!
- Full name: Benedicto Haje - Age: 31 - Your skills: bomber/fighter basic fighting techniques - Reason why you choose us: Explore new factions in disco. - Your biography: The little Benedicto was born on 791. or at least, was found in an airlock that year. Let’s say that this newly starting novel took place in one of the Crete’s orphanages then. It’s not that important anyway, as his parents had probably say one day. Hopefully, the blood tests were positive and the cutie Benedicto could live there as a pure meat Corsair orphan. Despite this slight disadvantage in life, Benedicto successfully finished the orphanage’s school at the age 12 from where he was fired and then become a fine gentleman. Into this house we’re born, into this world we’re thrown as they say, Salud. Soon enough, meeting other young vigorous entrepreneurs on the benches of the streets of Crete, probably not on a morning, Benedictio quickly learned how to pilot ships of many kinds with the help of a devoted reseller. Where this dreamlife could lead him remain unsure, but somehow, somewhere, fate was at work, and the little Benedicto, now a proud accomplished hermano of 31 just wasn’t expecting to wake up from a little hangover in an unusual ship…

Muchas gracias for showing interest to join our ranks and will to make our Empire a better place.
I wish you good luck on your training!
Señor, I accept the offered training by soldato Alegro Domingez (and/or any other TBH pilot) with gratitude. I will try to establish contact a.s.a.p. to start my training.
Skills:Skilled in Capital ships,as far as space combat is concerned.I work with fighter mechanix,i built a fusion engine for my fighter that has a suicide module!And also i am an explosives expert.Anything from Nuclear Core Bombs to Toxic Biological Corosion Grenades and Antimater Detonating Charges.Doug i do love to make hell with Proton Collision Pocket Grenades!They look harmless but when you step on them BOOM pop goes the entire 20 Mile radius!From all that you can figure that i am a trained marine,best in sabotaging enemy structures...
Reason for joining TBH:Secondary fleet got boring for me,not challenging enought for me.I hate the Core,and i want to protect my brother Corsairs.
Biography:Hmm...*heavy thinking*...i was born on Planet Crete.The great home of the Corsairs,yada yada,and all that stuff you already probably heard a thousand and one times.Figures.I never met my mother.We were poor,so i had to work on my fathers farm from an early age.I went to a school,yes,just a school,i don't actually remember what was it called,but i went to it.It was the only school in my region.I wasn't the best student,but i was good.Time passed,my town was hit by a virus,my father,died.I was desperate...i had nowhere to go.So with the age of 15 i started my cadet training.Ahh...good times i had during that period.Quite a few buildings i blew up.I hit 17,and the final exams came.Space combat and Field efficiency.I...was not the best in space combat,but i was the highest scored person on the Field efficiency course!Ever since i started my training,there was something about explosions that always left me satisfied.From that you can figure that my specialization is demolition weaponarry and weapons of mass destruction.The year after came.I was broke,but then i joined the secondary fleet.Things went to better,and i got the oprtunity now to apply for the brotherhood.
Smuggling, fighting skills, curently practicing with Titan
Reason why you chose us:
Of all the groups that have existed in the history of the Corsair Nation, The Brotherhood has always been seen as the bastion of justice. And I'm seeking for a revenge on Trejo, who joined with Outcasts.
I shared many heroic deeds with The Brotherhood already, as member of CNS. I have close friends there that helped me out when I lost my love.
Your biography:
I was born at planet Crete. My parents were both working at Tripoli. So years were passing by, day by day. There was a cute girl living next door, Catalina was her name. She was young, but after all those years she grew up and got fitted for marriage.
She was too slim to find any decent husband, so she didn't leave like others. I started to notice her more and more. And then... Dios mío.. Some local idiot fell in love with her by some demonic miracle. He was evil person, corrupted as hell and too old for her. We knew him as Trejo. Santa Muerte, I still remember his evil demonic eyes. Even Catalina's father didn't want to give a hand of his slimy daughter to that ugly man! We were all shocked when ugly Trejo stole her and took her away from Crete. We searched for her everywhere but failed to find her. I never gave up and I'm still looking with less and less hope.
We heard recently that Trejo scum joined Outcasts in Manoel Outpost. *spits* I called my old TBH hermano Alegro and asked him to help me somehow. We were fighting together in many battles and I saved his life more than once. So he gathered more TBH ships and we went to Sigma-13. They managed to keep Manoel Outpost defence busy, I sneaked in, found my Catalina by Gods help, cut her Cardamine pipes and rescued her from there. She was pretty hooked to Cardamine and got very sick on our way to Gamma. So we turned back to Atka and asked for urgent medical help. Luckily, Cryer was testing some new drug and managed to stabilised her condition and stop further genetical mutations. But treatman's costs were very high and I had to sell everything I got. Who cares... She's ok now. And we just got married.
I'm kinda concerned about Trejo's plans now. He will surely search for Catalina. I asked Alegro about it and he mentioned me and my family could be protected by TBH guard. At least until we find and kill that ugly traitor. I hope my apply will be accepted. *bows*
I have some battle skills in the praetorian and i'm learning how to fight in a gladiator
Reason why you chose us
I have been flying for the empire for some time now,after flying with some member of the brotherhood and i wish to fight in their side and defeat the empire foes
Your biography
I was born in Planet Crete,My father worked for the empire hunting our enemies until he disappeared, my mother had difficulties to raise me alone.But she's a strong corsair woman and managed to make our living of her's work in the Tripoli Shipyard.
Sometimes i went to help her and i that time i meet so many pilots at service of the empire and meet a nice bomber pilot called Lucas Mendez.After some time talking with him he started to teach me how to fly a preatorian bomber after some lessons some higher rank officer that was there decided to give me a chance and fight for the empire.
After many times getting yelled at by my mistakes in the training, i finally managed to pass in his test and start my work under the empire command and now i search to follow the orders of the elders and bring glory to my family and the empire.
I have modest battle skills in the Titan fighter and Murmilo battleship.

------ Subject: Back from missing ------
Hola Hermanos and Amigos,
As you might or might not know I've been missing for several months, because I've been held prisoner by Outcasts. I was on a patrol when a group of a few Outcasts ships ambushed me. I strived, they destroyed my ship but I've managed to survive in an escape pod. However an outcast shipp tractored my pod and they put me in the worst place I've ever been. They tried to get some information from me, it's been one constant torture. I guess they got bored after these months so they gave up and just held me there. One day I managed to escape in a Zoner ship which flew to Freeport 11. Then it was a piece of cake to get back to planet Crete. I am glad I am back, I am better than ever and I want revenge. I won't rest till I kill them all.
Just in case I am sending here my story which can be a little bit outdated as of what I experienced in the last months.
Fullname: Pablo "Zorba" Escobar Nickname: Zorba
Age: 34 years old
My Skills: I've been active Corsairs since the very young age so I'm pretty familiar with our traditions, history and politics. Emperio del Corsario is my life. I'm skilled pilot of a Titan or a Preatorian, recently I also learned how to ambush transports with my Minotaur.... that's how I call my gunboat. I was also part of several raids againts our enemies. When you are in a warzone you learn a lot. You have to realize what you fight for. Smuggling is like my hobby. I don't want to sound cocky but I might be a prototype, hopefully not a stereotype, of a modern Corsair.
Reason to join The Brotherhood: I used to always work on my own or in group of my close amigos. But you can't change big things on your own. It'd be just a chaos if everyone would work on their own. And that's the reason why I want to be in The Brotherhood, because The Brotherhood is highly organized group which can change the course of the Corsair history in the Sirius sector. I can't think of better thing to do for Corsairs than joining The Brotherhood. I realized that there are certain goals that HAVE TO BE ACHIEVED.
Zorba's Biography biography:
I've got some very old unsure information about my relatives before we arrived to the Sirius sector, there is a story in our family that we come from a country that was called Greece. I know for sure that they left Sol system while Colation x Alliance war on board of the Hispania sleeper ship and they were part of group that settled on a planet Crete. Long Corsair tradition in my family really signed on me. My parents and my older brother were often in action. In their free time they were talking about our history, our future goals and they also trained me. We were flying all around the Gamma and later other surrounding systems. It was very tough. But it helped to be better. I became.... you can call it "an orthodox Corsair" and I was really working on myself because I wanted to be useful. I wanted to change something. That's why I got to piloting many ships and war vessels in quite young age. I have also many experiences with our enemies. For example once I got ordered mission to patrol Omicron Eta. I left Etna base and I was flying around the cloud. Then I got a reading on my long range scanners. I really didn't know what is going on. It was coming right behind the mine field. I went nearer and when I got there I found out that it were two Outcasts transports smuggling tons of a poison, so called cardimine. I knew they will spread it throughout Sirius. I had to do something. My weapons on my Titan were charging, I tried to stop them. Unfortunetely they called for a reinforcment. After a brutal fight I took down two sabres. TRansports escaped. They were too slow so I had them on radar near freeport in theta. I saw them jumping to Sigma-17. I caught them right there and destroyed them on sight with no mercy. And this is only one of my many actions againts our enemies. I can't even count how many times we raided Cambridge or Alpha.
I think you know enough for now and you also know I will not betray our Empire.

Age: 29
Skills: Bombers, teamwork, teamfight commanding, escorting and scouting missions.
Reason for choosing TBH: The times are tough, enemies are on all fronts and I don't want to see my homeland or its territory dissapear. The main reason for joining is because The Brotherhood is a highly organised group and organisation is key in winning battles.
Biography:
I was born on Barcelona Station 29 years ago. My mother was one of the staff that were maintaining the station. My father was a smuggler. Most of his runs were done on a Raba hauling Artifacts. He made quite a bit of money in those years, more than enough for a living. Since the Artifact smuggling business isn't an easy one, every run is potentially a death. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened when I was 5 years old. He got killed by the Bounty Hunters in the Omegas.
My mother decided to leave Barcelona and went to Crete with me to settle a normal, peaceful life. From there I studied to become a space pilot and when I came of age I finally got my first ship. We still had some savings from the money my dad left us so I bought myself a Praetorian. I became a member of the Corsair fleet. In the years of fighting on many fronts I learned how to fight and realised how difficult it is to survive. However, I was dissapointed with how the Corsairs work. They were unorganised and hard to communicate with. It was bound to get me killed one day. One day it almost happened, I lost a wing in a fight because of ridicolously stupid calls made by the higher ranking pilots. I decided to make a step forward in my life and join The Brotherhood because of the above reasons and to bring the Corsair nation glory.
