Why do you want to join us: I had enough serving Rheinland with my life, and watch it how it slowly dies. It is time to bring Rheinland at its mighty power!

Why were the Unions outlawed?: Because they were considered "criminals" by Rheinland after the aggressive actions on Rheinland Corporations, especially Republican Shipping
Describe, in your own words, our political philosophy: I don't know much about philosophy, all I do know, is that Imports destroy Rheinland. Rheinland has the power to develop its own resources, I do think its time to show that, by force if needed.
You’re the captain of an artifacts transport. Your escort and your convoy mate are engaged. Do you wait for your escort, assist them in battle, or proceed according to the route? : Assist in the battle to support my mate, no one gets left behind!
You’re the captain of a strike cruiser. There’s a fight occurring between the Hessians and the Rheinland military, which the Hessians are winning. You can wait for the Hessians to win, help the Hessians or help the Rheinland lawful. Which do you do?

You served in the MND and the Military for such a long time and now ,
when you are almost old enough to fit into your grave you show up here and want to help us.
The Oberkommando discussed your application and let me ask you something.
How stupid do you think we are ?
A MND Agent that killed our Arbeiters, intercepted our Smugglers and tried to spy on our Stations wants to join us now?
Forgett it and I will advise all Reichsarbeiter to kill you on sight if I every see you again in our Space !
You aren't welcome now and will never be welcomed at any of our Installations !
Get your ugly Ship out of our sight or you will be crushed!
And since you are that old I will say it loud and clear, your request to join us has been denied !

Name: Christoph Gneisenau Date of Birth (Age): April 19th, 803 A.S. (21 Years Old) Place of Birth: Planet Nuremberg/Nürnberg, Munich/München System Gender: Male Previous occupation: Military Vehicle Mechanic
Short Biography: Born in desperate times between the chaotic circumstances and revolting citizens in a small family of craftsman working hard to build every new day Military Vehicles for the Military, but day after day all we get is underpayment, even more corrupcy, politicans that are unable to help us at all and hunger. Nuremberg is the biggest result and stain of incompetence in this momentary "free" republic. It just shows me that our souls got selled to some concerns to pump us out until we fill once more the lakes of ashes this planet already got in dozens.
On one day I found some of your comrades spreading the word to finally end this whole suffering, this pumping from concerns that just wants your "best", Credits for sure...
I began to work with some of them, lended them some of our vehicles and brang my father to the decision to get our little vehicle factory privatized to support your faction. We managed to build some reconnaisance teams to save and evacuate some citizens. Plagues, Beasts, Corrupcy, the daily life what you have to fight to save this damn Planet. After a long while I decided that I need more to kick this corrupt politicans out from our beloved planet. I need a strong faction that can help me to save my family, the factory and the proud of my dying lovely home that concerns shamlessly pump out for their own goals.
I want to work hard to give my family a better life. No more corrupcy, no more plagues and hunger, this politicians on their shady money thrones dont even know what we have to get through...
For myself I am experienced of course in repairing and crafting Military Equipment, I also have flown the ships from my father, I learned in the secret recon and evacuation teams some military experience against foreign companies and corrupt soldiers... I want to let my fathers factory for now unknown for some reasons... we got spied for a long time by the MND and I dont want to give them any trouble so just myself decided to join you. I hope to achive some good work with you if you accept me and hope to see you in space. Sichere Lüfte, Glorreiche Triumphe euch Arbeitern!
And I think the only true power to govern a country right comes from a gun and strong men. The Eagle needs to raise again, we need to save our traditions and restore our old glory, pesky commies or fat corrupt politicians wont help me for that but you will I think.
To answer the additional questions I hope to can answer correctly:
Who is the current (//InRP) Leader of the Unioners?: Arbeitsdirektor Hansel Garen von Himmel
Why were the Unions outlawed?: For trying to get Rheinland back to the roots, for terrorizing the Government and the Arch Enemy Republican Shipping and getting rid of foreign companies in Rheinland. Also for smuggling, piracy and terrorist acts.
Describe, in your own words, our political philosophy: National Syndiqualists that believe in a strong and glorious Kaiserreich, keeping traditions and values of our beautiful home and the best answer to kick out greedy foreigner concerns out from our borders. We can keep our economy by ourselfes, we dont need to learn from corrupt foreigners, we managed to build a large Reich once all alone and can do it again, by force if needed.
You’re the captain of an artefacts transport. Your escort and your convoy mate is engaged. Do you wait for your escort, assist them in battle, or proceed according to route? : My comrades are dying that we can achieve our task its what a escort has to do its sad but it is how it is. I would flee but honour my comrades after their missions. Everyone has its task and In this case my task is to bring the goods to the target, Not to let the deaths of my comrades being useless...
You’re the captain of a strike cruiser. There’s a fight occurring between the Hessians and the Rheinland military, which the Hessians are winning. You can wait for the Hessians to win, help the Hessians or help the Rheinland lawful. Which do you do? Both are enemies, I would see how high my chances are and if its worth to intervene but in that case I woukd priortize the Commies first but would also attack the Military after that if there is a realistic chance to stomp them. But always good to see two Arch Enemies pumping the blood out each other... maybe just watching them would be also funny so it depends I wish both sides as painful harsh death.

Name: Von.Richter Date of Birth (Age): 32 Place of Birth: Freeport 2 Gender: Male Previous occupation: Former LRF Pilot and Liberty Revolutionnaire
Short Biography: For aslong as I can remember, I have always known Bering to be home. Born to a poor laborer on Freeport 2. We didnt have much in the way of wealth or possessions. My father was a member of the Liberty Workers Party on Freeport 2. There were regular meetings and debates about the current state of working conditions on the station. Corporations who used Freeport 2 in particular treated local workers very harshly and paid low wages, especially Liberty Corps!
During one particular union meeting, my father was shot by Local security operatives working on behalf of Interspace Commerce. Who had put a bounty on his head seeing as he was an influential figure in the Bering system, and IC were trying to expand their on influence. I too was a member of Liberty Workers Party, and after my dad died I decided to join their Armed Wing: Liberty Revolutionary Front. With the LRF I felt I could hit these greedy corps right where it hurt, in the purse.
I grew accustomed to Guerilla Hit-and-Run tactics and raiding local shipping. I became quite adept in the use of VHF craft also.
We had good relations with the Unioners and regularly went on co-op missions together.
After while the Liberty Workers Party began to loose focus and its armed wing the LRF ceased operations.
So I was without a cause until now.
Why do you want join us: I want to join The Unioners because I believe they embody the idea of the working man and protect his ideals, fight for his rights. I have been fighting these causes all my life, and its time to begin a new chapter.
Who is the current (//InRP) Leader of the Unioners?: Arbeitsdirektor - Hansel Garen von Himmel
Why were the Unions outlawed?: Because they have taken up arms against Local Governments and raid Corporate Traffic
Describe, in your own words, our political philosophy: Unioners want Rhineland to return to the days of hardline labour policies up until the eighty years war with business focused on rheinland industry rather than cheap foreign input.
You’re the captain of an artefacts transport. Your escort and your convoy mate is engaged. Do you wait for your escort, assist them in battle, or proceed according to route? : Assist them never leave a comrade behind.
You’re the captain of a strike cruiser. There’s a fight occurring between the Hessians and the Rheinland military, which the Hessians are winning. You can wait for the Hessians to win, help the Hessians or help the Rheinland lawful. Which do you do? Help the Rheinland Lawfuls

Name: Hermann Mayer Date of Birth (Age): 32 Place of Birth: Planet New Berlin, New Berlin, Rheinland Gender: Male Previous occupation: Daumann escort
Short Biography:
Hermann Mayer was born on Planet New Berlin, in a family of miners, where everyone was working hard just to survive, thus mostly leaving him on his own. His childhood was quite lonely, as it can be for a child in a mining complex. Days have passed, and he still did know what to do with his life, as he found miner life unappealing. Making his way to local flight school at the age of 17, he quickly mastered the basics. Starting from a simple planetary jobs, to getting his first ship. As the events in the Rheinland stirred up, he realized that Rheinland need every able pilot in its roster, to make it great like it once was. Joining Daumann miners, he served as their escort for 3 years. As he was on patrol trough Stuttgart system, he got under attack, and after jettisoning out of the ship and seeing how his wing is running away like he doesn't exist anymore, he realized that his true saviors are not Daumann pilots, but Unioners. They took him back to Wedel mining facility, as they would not let him die in space. Seeing the facility and witnessing the harsh and tough work conditions they endure because of misleading government and its terrible politics, he realize his true call and decided to join them, as the sake of making Rheinland great again will accomplished by government, but by people of the Rheinland.
Why do you want join us:
As previously stated, the Revolution, and the rise of Rheinland as a mighty nation can not be done by letting corrupt government lead it, nor with selling all its riches to foreigners. Rheinland must turn to introvertism and nationalism, realize that it is self sufficient, and rise back to its might!
Who is the current (//InRP) Leader of the Unioners?:
Hansel Garen von Himmel
Why were the Unions outlawed?:
For using extremist acts against their enemies, Republican Shipping and foreign corporations that deal in Rheinland.
Describe, in your own words, our political philosophy:
Unioners want to go back to the age when Rheinland meant something, when it was not only used to exploit and sell its riches, when it did not allow foreign corporations to strenghten their power in Rheinland and hold it in their fist.
You’re the captain of an artefacts transport. Your escort and your convoy mate is engaged. Do you wait for your escort, assist them in battle, or proceed according to route? :
Depends on the opponent and current orders. I would try to assist as much as I can, but when facing stronger force, and flying a transport, I would have to flee, as my ship's fighting capabilities aren't really high.
You’re the captain of a strike cruiser. There’s a fight occurring between the Hessians and the Rheinland military, which the Hessians are winning. You can wait for the Hessians to win, help the Hessians or help the Rheinland lawful. Which do you do?
Await for the battle to resolve, then take care of the remaining forces. No need to engage stronger enemy when they can bleed themselves out.

To: Christoph Gneisenau From: Arbeiter Lukas Mohr, der Alster Union. Subject: Actually scored right up there on the situational aptitude test! Damn, Daddy.
You're a smart cookie, arn't ya'? Rated highly on most of the criteria, not that the grinder discriminates between smarts and shards, Gneisenau. Nuremberg ain't a fun deal, no it sure isn't. But you don't bite the hand that frickin' dealt you - you take that hand, and slap the beholder. You get mad, you rile in it, you build up, balls-to-the-wall, shoot for the cosmos.
Some experience with the ol' millspec will get you places. Brainboxes who can hold a spanner don't get cannoned out robbing transports with a bayonet hung over the shoulder - you get accolades. Might even be a place at Pacifica or Krefeld for someone like you - although that depends if you've got the balls to be slavin' under Dross; few do. I sure as hell don't.
We'll give you a shot. As for the rest of you turkeys, wait your turn.
Oh, and whilst the tick-sheet says you should always drop yer' escorts and run rather than be the useful idiot who sticks around and takes one for the volk, I sure as hell wouldn't want to fly with you at my back. Maybe half a klick in front, you get what I'm spellin' out here?
Christoph Gneisenau has been accepted into the Reichsarbeitergesellshaft at Arbeiter rank.
To: Von Richter. From: Arbeiter Lukas Mohr, der Alster Union. Subject: So much for the dry season Two-point-Oh'.
Von Richter?
That don’t make me feel comfortable or on no steady terra frickin’ firma, neither. You’re like an earthquake and a hurricane all sliced up and served on a Salome platter. Which puts me in a bind as how best to fix this.
I’m of the opinion that those with former biases don’t go around declaring them out the wazoo. We remember the LRF - good batch of cookies that got their ears wet in the wrong cloud - and I’m pegging Hesse under that rainstorm. Gets real foggy and confusing when you’re passing through the particulars of revolutionary socialism - and that’s the deal here; we’re protectionists.
I’m prepared to give you a slice of good faith, but there’s many others in the movement who won’t. We’re at war here - there’s snakes in every boot we fill - some bite, others get bitten. I’m not the mongoose, but the mongoose will come getcher’ if you don’t fit into our ethos. We care about our fellow man, Y’see?
Do right by my kin, and they’ll do right by you. But you’ve got a lot to prove first.
Von Richter is places on recruitment trial period. Your conduct to your friends, enemies, and other Unioners will be measured during this time, including your ability to keep cool under pressure.
The Reichsarbeitergesellschaft is recruiting TODAY! Globalisation taken YOUR livelihood? For the last fifty decades, the economy of Kusari has grown whilst Rheinland's has stagnated. Coincidence, or foul play?
Fact: The Renzu cooporation manufactures a third of all modern escort fighters sold in the Rhein.
Fact: The Renzu corporation pays zero percent Tax to the Rheinlandic state, and conducts no manufacturing in Rheinland.
Fact: In 822, DHC blamed declining interest in Rheinlandic civillian vessels on international stage, by the rise of the Kusarian shipbuilders artificially lowering the cost of fighter craft via unlawful overproduction dumping.
