Hailing all commercial and independent transport pilots!

My name is Hayden Archer, pilot of "Raging Thunder", and I'd like to share my story with you.

I used to work as a gunner on a BMM mining vessel. A few weeks ago, as part of a special deal between Bretonia and Kusari, I was called to serve onboard the "Eien no Yuhi" - a Kishiro transport. We were moving specialized machine parts for processing. I was excited to see Kusari, never been there before. However, it was not my lucky day.

System after system, we were stopped by pirate gangs of all shapes and sizes. Our convoy leader lost money on the deal, just to pay those pirates and stay alive. He had a clear goal in mind: get those parts to Honshu, no matter what it takes. A true role model.

When we arrived at the Taus, yet another gang of pirates stopped us. Filthy Gallic Royalists. With no money left to pay, we were fighting to our last breath. It was the first time I ever lost a transport in battle, with severe casualties. I'm the only one who made it out alive.

An independent pilot found my escape pod and brought me to safety. He was working for Sir Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the famous weapons dealer. Sir Brunel took me in, hired the best pilots to train me, supplied me with a ship and top-of-the-line experimental weaponry.

I've sworn to never let another transport fall into the hands of cruel pirates. Not on my watch. It is my divine purpose to serve and protect. Whatever it takes.

Now that I have surpassed my teachers, I am ready to offer my service as escort. Pay what you can, I do not seek money. I seek fulfillment of my life's purpose, and revenge on those scumbag pirates.

I wish you all safe skies wherever you go.

At your service,
Hayden Archer
Independent fighter pilot.
