Short biography: Chris Harrison was born in 799 A.S. on the planet Cambridge. Mother Angela Harrison was born on the planet Leeds, working as a BMM engineer at Stokes Station. In 797 A.S. she moved to the planet Cambridge as a professor at Cambridge University of Architecture. Father David Brown was born in Liberty on the planet Los Angeles working for the Bretonian company «Planetform». David worked on the terraforming of the planet California Minor, where he met Angela at a conference and then flew away to live with her. Chris’s childhood was difficult. The war with the nomads in which Grandfather Chris Brown died in whose honor the name was actually given. At age 6, Chris went to a regular Cambridge school. When Chris graduated from high school during the Bretonia-Kusari conflict, his father was taken to the front, as he had practical piloting skills while working a bit at Liberty Police. Shortly after the end of the conflict, David returned home, but died a year after he discovered a deadly disease that he received during the battle. Chris was left alone with his mother. The loss of his father greatly influenced him. His mother helped him get a job at a good Engineering University, where Chris got a good experience and was not bad at understanding engineering and ships. Shortly after the escalation of the Gallic war in Bretonia, Chris was taken to serve as an engineer on the battleship Essex while he was standing in Dublin. At that time, Chris gained vast experience in military affair and he really liked this job. The craving for the ships helped him to go on patrol missions, where he gained experience in flying fighter aircraft. When the Gauls broke into the capital of Bretonia, many of Chris’s close friends then went to the front, where they died. It was not an easy period for him. And then Essex battleship was stationed in New London, where Chris first felt the true taste of blood and war, guiding the technical condition of Essex during the battle. Luck turned his face and Essex received minimal damage and loss, and he himself survived. After the end of the Gallic War, Chris finished the conscription service and returned back to Cambridge to his mother. His plans were to leave to work in New London, but Chris did not cease to be interested in military affair. Soon, he decided to join Bretonian Armed Forces primary fleet and serve the Queen protecting his relatives and Bretonia from all internal and external threats.

Any useful experience and qualifications: I learned to fly a Templar in the Royal Cadets. I also have a mechanic's ticket.
Motivation for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces: To serve my country, and make my family proud.
Short biography: Sirs, I was born on Planet New London, and had just started to apprentice as a mechanic when the war began. I began service as a line mechanic at Southampton Shipyard and learned a great deal about the ships there. I ferried a great many Templars and the other fighters and bombers, and we were allowed a bit of leeway to fly, though not as much as I'd wanted. I'd had some experience with the training models of the Templars as a Cadet in my 'teens, but had never flown the full combat version. I had requested a transfer to the fighting arms, but Southampton fell shortly after my application was made, and everything went to hell after that. It was a struggle to stay alive for the best part of the next few weeks. Frankly, I am quite sure my place is in the cockpit of a Templar. I hope you agree with me.

The gasous vastness of ocher is in phlegmatic serenity. As if the time has stopped. Vacuous silence. As if nothing relevant is happening miles below.
Hollow screeching of metal under unforgiving pressure by a whirlwind of gears, subjected to punishment by a tempest of plasma and tachyon. Earsplitting repetitious howling of alarms. Hurricanes of fire. Murky faces hiding behind numerous mounds and craters of broken concrete, twisted, rusty rods and torn metal plates, over a devastated flatland of dirt that sunlight itself avoids. Below a soaring flag of spite. Below the majestic flutter of a stained tricolour Y, they dauntlessly hold their ground, knowing that they are not forgotten. They are Leeds. Agincourt, as the Gauls claim, forgetting the verdant countryside on old Earth. A purulent wound in Bretonia’s flesh. The Gate of Sirius.
Set out fearlessly, pride of Bretonia! Immortality beckons us! We shall deflect steel shells with our advancing chests! We shall split battleships with our mighty hands! Nothing will stop the victorious march of our Homeland! We will meet them again, in Agincourt. For our land. For our fallen. For our people. For our Queen. For Bretonia!

The Norfolk Fleet is replenishing its forces. Soldiers by family history like you should easily blend in among its veteran personnel. Be aboard the HMS Norfolk in the Leeds System by tomorrow for a briefing. Welcome, ensign.

It never seemed to stop raining on New London, but Michael thought it suited the city well - the water-soaked streets were prettier this way. As he pushed the heavy door of the recruitment office open, he remembered a time when he was too small to open this door; and how his father always had to help him through. The officer behind the desk, a wiry-framed gentleman glanced up from his paperwork, noticing Michael and offering a practiced smile.
"What can I do for you, sir?" The gentleman spoke with a soft Bretonian accent, with the refinement of an upperclassmen. Michael approached the desk, replying quickly - slightly embarrassed by his more countrymen contralto.
"I'm here to join the Armed Forces. I was told this was the place to do it?" The officer nodded briefly, silently removing a few sheets of paper from a folder beneath his desk; sliding it over the counter. He pointed to the waiting space, flashing another weak smile. Michael nodded, taking a seat and beginning to fill out the form.

Are you are Bretonian Citizen?: Yes
Any useful experience and qualifications:
- I was in the Air Scouts for a decade as a boy, joined the Navy as a 'cadet'.
- Used my four summer holidays during secondary school for work experience on Bretonian battleships.
- 3 months Freelancer work, flying a Sunburst freighter.
Motivation for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces:
"My father was an Armed Forces Captain, and was KIA. I admired him and his company - who were like family to me - and wanted to follow in his footsteps."
Short biography:
"As a boy, I lived on Cambridge with my parents. We lived a middle-class life, on the outskirts of the city and away from the wealthy districts. I went to a good school, and spent my youth in the Air Scouts. But, when I was around 17, my father was reported KIA during a skirmish. His ship was torn to shreds by battleship lasers, they said. I refused to leave the house for a month, barely scraping through the rest of school. My mother was inconsolable, eventually... Voluntarily moving on from this world after the money ran dry. The pension my father had been able to raise had run out weeks before her passing, so I had to start looking for alternatives. In this time, I completed a Bachelor's in Engineering and began looking for a proper job with a mining firm. But the loss of my mother... I couldn't. Not anymore, there was nothing left to work for. All I have is my nation now, and I wish to preserve it however I can."
