Previous Jobs, affiliations or past experiences? What can you bring to us? Former Commander of 22nd Attack Wing, Tenth Fleet, Liberty Navy, during Operation Royal Flush. Former Captain of the LNS Coral Sea, a Defiant-class gunboat. Former Executive Officer of the LNS Mount Shasta, Interdictor-class. Former Commanding Officer and later Executive Officer of Naval Orbital Facility Long Island, and its attached Manhattan Defense Grid.
I maintain connections and affiliations with those I served with in the Navy, the Security Force, Bretonia's Armed Forces, and more. I maintain good tactical knowledge in gunboat and cruiser-class vessels, general flotilla tactics, defensive maneuvers, logistics planning, supply line management, defense-in-depth tactics, and the general tactics and strategies common to the Liberty Navy, Bretonian Armed Forces, the Rheinland Military, and the Gallic Royal Navy.
Which position would you be more comfortable filling? (Logistics/Paramilitary/Research & Development/Other) I spent a considerable time in my naval service as a member of the Tenth Logistics Fleet, commanding Long Island and running the logistics timetables effectively. The other major portion of my military service was served commanding a gunboat wing and acting as the XO of an Interdictor-class. Serving either department would play to my strengths, I believe.
Briefly tell us about yourself. I am a former Navy commander, born on Planet Erie. I spent a couple years as a fighter pilot before the Navy took me in proper, where I rocketed up the ranks in record fashion and eventually got my first command, a logistics ship running for Long Island Station. Within the year, I was commanding that installation, handling the entire logistics chain for the installation and the greater Manhattan Defense Grid. Once Admiral Hartman returned from her leave of absence, she took over the installation, and I was re-routed to be the XO of the Mount Shasta under Admiral Sius. As I spent my time there combining my previous command experience with the more pointed tactical and strategic experience that serving under the Admiral during the Rheinland war could give, I was then sent off to Gallia as part of Operation Royal Flush, where I was given command of my own gunboat, the Coral Sea, as well as a wing of seven other gunboats defending the Tenth Fleet's planetary landings.
Royal Flush, as we all know, didn't go well. Gallia turned it around on us and I ended up eating dirt - quite literally. Marines dug me out of my wrecked Defiant and got me off-planet just before it fell entirely, and ever since I've been in and out of hospitals just trying to get myself back into condition. Eventually, the Navy decided I wasn't worth the effort, and dumped me out with more than a few medical bills and a shite pension.
Why do you wish to join us? I'm ultimately loyal to Liberty, but they can't exactly afford to rebuild a broken man and half-decent commander. Most other entities...don't have a good handle on the way things are going right now, and I don't want to give myself up to a group that's gonna act the wrong way. After chatting with you in person, I think you might be the best hope for turning some things around in Sirius.

What's your Discord? You've got it.
Why do you want to join us? Be honest. Actually good roleplay standards, probably the first in-game conversation I enjoyed in about a year, and something that isn't a Liberty Lawful faction for me for once.
Rate your RP and PVP skills out of 10. I'll peg RP at an 8 and PVP at...like, a 5. Depends on the ship, but you know that already.
Do you promise to not let external opinion dictate your actions or behavior? Yup.
