Application for Battlegroup Gladius Pavel Sokolov Gender:Male Date of birth:25/06/803 Place of birth:Unknown, Coalition Space. Grew up on Gran Canaria
Origin group:Coalition Refugee, Liberty Citizen of Planet Los Angeles
Qualifications:No service record from the Coalition or Liberty Navy during each Citizenship. Completed missions as an escort for his trade ship with some combat encounters.
Background:Born to family on the outskirts of Coalition Territory on a trading station, He spent most of his time with his family until he started working on crews aboard various freelance and Zoner freighters venturing into Liberty territory and soon much further into house spaces. After scrounging up enough credits he bought his own ship and hired small crew to man it. Making his way in the galaxy taking various contracts from just about anyone, he had done his share of small time smuggling and typical big company routes. Moving his way up in size of transport vessels he soon began flying a Serenity Transport named 'Profit Margins' with a decent majority of his original crew taking place of the more important and permanent positions aboard the Profit Margins. He soon bought a Falchion for himself and set off to exploring the rest of Sirius in his downtime once he accumulated enough credits to take intermediate breaks from hauling cargo. Since he had made a new home on Planet Los Angeles, Pavel saw first hand what the war with Gallia brought upon the bordering systems. The way he sees it, Liberty got a lucky streak to win but they were not doing all they could. Scandals of secret programs and some of their dealings with the factions within struck him the wrong way and after a long time of planning and covering his tracks, he was going to drop off any crew that did not wish to come at California Minor and made for the border worlds.
He had heard plenty of the separatist forces in Liberty had moved into systems that laid beyond Magellan. After some digging around, he managed to find some relevant star charts and took his transport and Falchion to make contact with the Insurgent Navy. When he made contact, he asked what he could do to aid in the fight to secure Liberty. It was his home since he saw what bad leadership and corruption did to the Coalition and wasn't going to loose another home because of it. Soon they got him all the paperwork and began to rearm his Falchion where it was necessary in order to meet training requirements. Profit Margins would be outfitted as well with different tags and IFF codes. He would be able to at least keep supplies and logistics going if he couldn't aid in the fight first hand.
