- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Ore hauler, but I mostly employ myself. Gallic transports and miners like to employ me so I don't accidentally shoot them down.
- To what division are you applying? Transport one, but there is a catch, I happen to have one of those widely famous so called "Pirate transports" I am of course no pirate, but I don't want to give up on it.
- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
There goes my previous answer!
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why? If shipping means giving a private hell to Gallic smurfs invading Sirius and then taking what's let of them, yup!
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Tricky one... Tricky! I heard quite a few about you guys, we share a common goal and that's showing the frog guys that, they aren't welcomed here in Sirius, swinging with their battleships probably compen-. Ah where was I yeah? Kusari gave up and I am not fan of that old fart Kogen. You guys always had ba- guts and I think you could use someone skilled at arts of mining transports and miners. Do you?
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
Hmmm what do you want to hear? I come from Tokyo, my childhood is no interest of yours, my adolescence is not your job either, I got my hands on a Pirate transport and found out that I can swing with it really good. That was about a year ago and Taus turned to a madness. I kicked my way through but these Gallics didn't really fancy me. Right after my motherland decided that we should run and rather sign some peace treaty. Than some coups and what ever not really my stuff. So I decided to look around for some work that will allow me to do what I like but also do it legally. And your organization raised my interest. I like drinks, tea, Bretonian humor is a cool one too. Hell what am I saying here, just don't call me slanty and I am fine.
Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
I worked as a Freelancer and escorted already some traders. A long time I was lying a Havoc Civil Bomber and hunted Red Hessian BS by getting payed from the Bretonian Armed Forces
To what division are you applying?
Escorting
Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
I don't bought a ship yet, I rented the ships I used. I am not sure if it gets a Virage or a Havoc, I thought I wait for yours answer what you need more!
If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
Maybe another time!
Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
I want to get more into escorting traders and stop the work for the one who pays best. Bowex seems to be a fair organization to me. It seems to be an organization non aggressive, more or less self defence against pirates. And I want to be an escort, because I can trade by my own, but I can't escort someone by my own.
Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
Well, what to tell about me? I am a person who likes the group play, the organization in a group. What I don't like is maybe people who aren't fair, who do things just to hurt others, people who don't do a specific roleplay after their ID, more a roleplay for their own satisfaction. But I don't know what I shall answer to this question, so please excuse if this answer is maybe a little short!
- What is your full name?
Cpt Michael 'Micky' Finn.
- Where do you live?
Currently living in the City Of St Neots on Planet Cambridge
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Worked with my Father as independent traders on his ship 'Cambridge' since I was old enough to hold a pilot's licence. Mainly trading around Bretonia, The Border Worlds, Liberty and until the war, The Tau Systems. As a family we mapped a large percentage of these systems and discovered many jump holes.
- To what division are you applying?
Shipping.
- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
My Father was killed recently in the Leeds System, And as his only living relative, I have inherited the 'Cambridge' from him. She is a fine Shetland Class train with top of the range armour upgrades and shielding.
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I would like to keep her named 'Cambridge'.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
In these uncertain times it makes sense to be part of your larger corporation. I'm a big believer in 'safety in numbers' and with the constant threat of invasion in Bretonia, it's a no-brainer. I believe I will be a valuable asset to your company, and with many years' experience not only with my ship, but with independent trading, I Think I have a lot to offer you company.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
I like and dislike many things. My closest friend runs a bar on Planet Cambridge, I tend to spend most of my spare time there, entertaining drunks with stories of hidden pirate treasure and ancient jump gates. I like 'classic' music, and love a good old fashioned Zero-G Rave. I dis-like dis-honesty. It is not tolerated on my ship. I like traveling. The further, the better. I can't get enough of the beautiful scenery Sirius has to offer. Apart from these things, there isn't a lot more to tell.

- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I've always been fascinated with ancient mythical creatures, so I would name my ship Rizos after the black dog of ancient Europe.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Bowex has let me live on their station for years, so I want to return the favor. A stable job isn't very bad either.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
First, and most importantly, I was born without my eyesight, but I have created a device that is more or less sonar, which lets me know my surroundings both on foot and in space. Additionally, I consider myself good with most kinds of technology, as I studied technological systems at Cambridge for two years. I enjoy all kinds of music, but my favorite would be orchestra due to the varying sounds that seem to paint a picture, ironic I know. When I'm not working, I usually spend my time trying to improve my ship's systems or listening to ancient mythical stories.

Aotearoa City, Planet Cambridge

I am the owner/operator of the Aotearoa, a Percheron Class Transport. Although I do have access to a Shire Class Transport.
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I wish to retain the name Aotearoa, the indigenous name of the nation of New Zealand, or change it to Wellington, which was the nation's capital. However I am willing to take on any other suitable name for either ship.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Having worked as a Semi-indepedent trader with Bowex for the past 6 years I believe that more could be done as an official employee and benefits can flow for all sides, Bowex, myself and customers, from properly joining the company.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
About: Born in 771 A.S. on Planet Cambridge, took a job as cargo boy at age 14 with an independent local trading company called Kiwi Air. Worked way up to position of ship pilot and eventually General Operations Manager. Was instrumental in the 813 A.S. acquisition of Kiwi Air by Bowex and Bowex taking Kiwi-Air employees on as semi-independent traders, to do the supply runs to the Bretonian front lines in the war against Kusari. Also love a chat over a brew with other traders, either at the bar or while in space.
Good day to you Mr Wolfe
I thought I would let you know that your application has been received; I will ask the HR department to hurry things along a bit.
-----SUBJECT: Border World Exports Application (Form 8209-2727)-----
There's a handful of attachments to the application, mostly official documents such as tax returns and licences, but one's entitled -PLEASE RED THIS FIRST-. Opening it shows a basic text message.
Firstly, a quick explanation before you read that form. I'm applying for not just myself, but my crew of four aswell (five people total). All their relevant applications are enclosed, but we work as a team, and have agreed this move is right. The only thing I will note is that our contract of employment must state that we be kept together, or we will not agree to it. Also, please note we are applying to transfer from Bowex's contracted division, again, all relevant form and such are attached. //Basically, contracted as in, Bowex has part-funded the current ship in exchange for a percentage of the profits.
From the five applications;
Tyler Skye
Carl Reed
Shaun Barrett
Talon Hill
Nathan Hill
The first application is the captain, Tyler's.
- What is your full name?
Tyler James Skye
- Where do you live?
No. 11
Thatcher Street
Downing Ditrict
Whitehall City
Planet New London
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Currently under contract with Bowex, with partial ownership of a single cargo ship, and hence a partial share of net profits. As for experience, I ran Skye Shipping, a small transport business for 6 years. Well, I say business, It was basically just me on my own with a pipe dream that I was more than a Freelance trader. But regardless, I've been working for Bowex as a contractor now for 2 years, and now we're here.
- To what division are you applying?
Shipping
- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
Ah, here's the cinch. No. It was an old ship and got caught in a crossfire above Planet New London when some Mollies attacked. I can send all the necessary reports if you need. However, according to the contract liaison officer, if we sign up for the official shipping division and go to a salary and all, there's a Shetland just coming out of the machines at Scarborough they need a crew for.
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I was told this one's already christened the Arundell, after one Humphrey Arundell, a Cornish rebel leader in the Prayer Book Rebelion, from around the 1500's on Earth.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
I originally signed up with Bowex because you've already got just about every customer out there, and the ones you haven't got contracts with want things moving through dangerous places, and aren't even legal half the time. As for now, it's because there's an opportunity to fly a brand new ship, and not one that blows itself up when Thames' gunners accidently pot-shot it.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
Well, I myself am largely financially motivated. I tried to set up my own shipping business, but it seems having connections is something corporations have already got nailed down. I still enjoy flying cargo ships and meeting new people though, and will spend most of my time between trips in the bar near my home. My crew are a second family to me, and Carl, my co-pilot and engineer is my best friend, we've flown together for two years now. Slightly more relevantly though, I guess is the fact that I won't take stupid risks. I mean, if there's a molly gunboat demanding our cargo and we're alone, then our lives (and your ship) is worth more, so they can have it. On the flipside, don't think I'm careless with my cargoes, if we've got a good chance to get away, we'll be gone before he can get a disruptor off.
As for likes and dislikes, well, I love watching the Dublin races down the bar. It doesn't matter where you are, it brings everyone together, a few bets and a few drinks and everyone's getting along great. Infact, there's a funny story of how I met Carl, and he ended up buy everyone's drink for a night on Canterbury. Oh, but I can't stand people moaning about unfairness. I mean, there's a few things in my life that's been unfair, but I just get on and make the most of it, it's not hard. Those 'hard-done-by Mollys, pah, just grow up and take it, change jobs, don't turn and start killing people.
//As far as the ship goes, I know full well you shan't be providing it, and I in-fact already have it, but if it's OK in-RP, then Bowex provides it if I get accepted. Also, there is a large RP story I'm writing for this character, it's not one I'm making new for the sake of joining.
//Oh, and thanks to Slavik (BES)Orange) for finnaly giving my that last bit of encouragement to sign up officially. He said to drop his name in here.
Borderworlds Exports application form 8209-2727
-incoming transmission fro.m Planet Harris-
Hello leaders of Border Worlds Exports. I am glad I was finally able to get in touch with you.
You see, I have been looking for a job for quite some time. The questionaire you requested is filled out following this transmission.
-incoming data from Planet Harris-
-loading-
-complete-
- What is your full name?
My name is Matthew Bellamy, at your service.
- Where do you live?
I live on Planet Harris with my missus and 3 boys.
- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
Before the Kusari invasion I worked as a navigator on the barge ship Excaliber with my father and 2 brothers. It was a peaceful operation, running basic alloys and the like, but then Kusari decided we were a threat. They attacked us and destroyed our barge. Being the youngest aboard the ship my father and brothers forced me into the escape pod hoping someone would pick me up.
- To what division are you applying?
I would like to apply to the shipping division.
- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
I currently fly a Shetland type freighter.
- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
I would like to keep my shipped named Muse. A muse is something that inspires you and everyday I am inspired by the grit of the Bretonian people and their sheer determination to never give up the fight for Queen and Country.
- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
The Border World Exports are very much like a family to me. I grew up watching their ships fly off for unknown places as a kid. As an adult Bowex was always kind to my father, giving him jobs when we needed one.
-Tell us about yourselves, what are you dislikeskes etc (minimum of 100 words)
Not much to say that hasn't been said. I was born on Planet Harris. As a kid my favorite past time was sitting with my friend Scouse and watching the ships fly past. My father got the barge from a long time friend and he hired me and my brothers on. We enjoyed 10 long years of exploring and trading. I got married to this wonderful gal from the Texas system and brought her home to Planet Harris were we now have 3 boys.
Trading is the life. There is nothing that quite compares to the rush you get from slipping past pirates or the satifaction you get when you deliver your cargo on time.
