Afternoon,
FELIX URBAN, we have looked over your application and found it satisfactory. You are ACCEPTED as a Cadet pilot. We appreciate your nationalism towards this great house, it will serve you well. That said, please remember to keep your calm - you may seek vengeance, but seeking only to kill those in the wrong is not the Libertonian way.
An Executioner Heavy Fighter will be issued to you once you've passed preliminary checks at West Point Academy. Please submit a report once your basic flight time requirement has been concluded.
Sincerely,
Vice Admiral Teerin,
Liberty Navy First Fleet.

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
