Acclimatisation will not take long judging by your military record.

► Brief biography: Born on Planet Hamburg in 794 AS, Rochus Seidler grew up amidst the economic struggle of Hamburg and all the issues it came with it. Instability, crime rates skyrocketing, alternative means of procuring goods and other less shining examples. Having experienced a fair share of it first hand, he knows full well how a life can be ruined early on if not turned around or at least somewhat steered into the right direction.
A harsh but fair instructor, Rochus ensures his experiences do not become those of generations following him. Dedicating his own endeavours towards a future of teaching and betterment. Molded by a difficult past himself, he knows very well how perspective and passion can drastically alter the outlook on a future.
Determined to offer those who are in need and with no alternatives the chance to experience less problematic years growing up on Hamburg, Rochus etablished a nowadays locally funded education center and has been busy fixing at least some of the youth's most problematic indiviuals on the troubled planet. Imparting knowledge on how to operate and service civilian spacecraft mainly. A drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things, but every little bit helps ... or so they say. Hamburg's police department took notice and regularly checks on the most promising candidates for possible apprenticeships. Rumor has it some of Rochus' best students made it into the ranks of the Rheinwehr after some years, wishing to take the lessons in protecting others they have learned to an entirely different level.
With a properly trained staff ready to take the reigns, Rochus sets his own ambitions towards something greater.

It is time to step up. I've spent most of my life teaching and preparing troubled youth for a chance at a better life for themselves. Some of them went to places i would have never expected them to see in. Look at them go, ha! Now i feel the need again to be out there with them, as i see what happens not just on Hamburg but in all of Rheinland.

► Brief biography: Klaus Schwartz was born to a middle-class family in Planet New Berlin on February 2, 784 AS to Heidi Schwartz (née Friedman) and Friedrich Schwartz. At the young age of nine, Friedrich Schwartz, his father, was killed when his gunboat, the RNC Schwarz, was destroyed by Hessian bombers while en route to Dresden. Determined to carry on his father's legacy, he enrolled at a military academy in the southern part of New Berlin in 797 AS and soon graduated with excellence in piloting. After finishing his education at the age of twenty-five, he joined the secondary fleet as the captain of the RNC Wodan.
His first assignment in the secondary fleet was to secure Dresden from Hessian attacks. During this time, he was determined not to repeat the fate of his father. He successfully destroyed two Hessian bombers single-handedly and a Hessian gunboat when the rest of his squad was lost to a coordinated attack. But in 814 AS, Liberty went to war with Rheinland. He was reassigned to take part in an offensive in Texas, where he destroyed many Liberty Navy ships. After the war, Schwartz continued serving the Rheinland Military, mainly focusing on domestic threats. But when relations with Kusari deteriorated into open war, he once again proved his worth. Later, when it became apparent that civil war would break out in Rheinland, he remained loyal to the government in New Berlin.
With the recent rise of the Corsair threat, he was assigned mainly to the Munich theater. There, Schwartz ensured victory after victory for Rheinland, and after the events in Frankfurt that led to the destruction of illegal bases by the Rheinwehr, he finally made the decision to transfer to the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr, to ensure that his commitment to Rheinland will stay in his heritage.
► Age: 45
► Remarkable encounters as part of the Rheinwehr: As captain of the Wodan, Klaus Schwartz has proven his contribution to Rheinland in repelling attacks from Corsair groups such as the Deterrence in Munich and even launching attacks in Omicron Xi. He has also dealt with other issues, such as helping Rheinland destroy the illegal bases in Frankfurt and countering their defenses.
Reasons for joining the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr
Klaus Schwartz has always been a capable gunboat pilot of the secondary fleet, with two decades of experience. By giving the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr an asset, he is fulfilling his lifelong dedication to serving Rheinland's interests and to uphold Rheinland sovereignty.
OOC:
► German knowledge level will not affect your application): Minimal.
► Can you speak english in a level high enough for a RP server?: Yes. Still needs refinement though.
► Are you familiarized with the current conflicts in Rheinland? Outline them (copy/paste will mean immediate and permanent rejection): Although Rheinland has emerged as an Empire after the bloody civil war a few years ago, there are still some threats left for Rheinland to fight against. The Unioners, although treated more tolerably after the war, still has some members who actively support the Corsairs and hence pose a threat to Rheinland. The Corsairs remain a problem though, and have invaded Munich and Frankfurt several times, but the Military has kept them on check. Socialist elements, such as the Red Hessians and the Coalition, are equal threats, and have proven to be capable even against trained Military assets. They still present a major obstacle towards retaking Dresden. Lastly, piracy still remains an issue, however, they are kept easily in check by the Military.
House tensions are somewhat troublesome, but diplomatic efforts with Bretonia have proven to be successful in easing tensions within the Omegas, but tensions between Liberty remain over the Hudson system.
► Link to your reports: None.
► Reason for joining: To provide the Rheinland Military with the finest prowess it has to deal with all kinds of threats.

► Full name: Manfred Gerichtshofen
► Brief biography: Manfred Gerichtshofen was born in 804 A.S on New Berlin into a family with a proud history in the military so he was destined to join the rheinland military some day. He was trained by his father since his childhood, facing new challenges each day, getting slowly molded into someone who would not question orders, but this strict and disciplined upbringing hasn't passed without leaving deep marks.
He sees everything that threatens rheinland as something that has to be eliminated with extreme prejudice. All he wants to do is to serve his home and foremost proof to his father that he is worthy to continue the family legacy.
► Age: 26
► Remarkable encounters as part of the Rheinwehr: Helped to attack a coalition convoy with the fightercraft "Gruen-7".

Beeing born into a family with a proud military tradition, it was just a matter of time before Manfred would join the ranks of rheinlands finest fighting force. There is alternative for him, the military is his life and he is ready to die for it.

Meanwhile rheinland faces multiple threats, as the red hessians still fiercly contest the Omegas, the Unioners are still not happy even though most of them have been pardoned by the new government, so they still ravage in rheinland. The intellectual Bundschuh are also still kicking around and one can never forget the corsairs that launch raiding parties to pirate as many targets as they can.

Tension persists between Rhineland and Liberty in Hudson after Rhineland became an Empire.
Thanks to the diligent efforts of diplomats, the Omega system can again be flown ``safely`` to Bretonie
gmg spread between Kusari and Rhineland
alongside the political conflicts of the major nations, pirates are a constant problem
Unfortunately, the Unioners have successfully established themselves in Hamburg so far.
the Red Hessians continue to cause major problems in Dresden, where the military is currently holding them in check.
and the cosars are constantly invading the Rhineland via the Sigma systems.
Smuggling is a pervasive problem that the police are slowly getting to grips with thanks to the military.

Martin Kaiser.
The Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr sees you as a pilot with very high future potential. We however feel you might need to gather some experience in the regular Rheinwehr before joining our ranks. We are for now denying your application. Do not despair, however. We expect you to show your skills as part of the regular Rheinland Military, fly alongside Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr units, and re-apply after at least a week has passed after you have experienced notable remarkable encounters as part of the Rheinwehr.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Alexander Arnold

Niklas Schulz.
The Dresden situation is indeed pitiful. Although the resources are not economical to mine anymore our failure to control the system is a stain on Rheinwehr's reputation if you ask me.
To your application, however. We are conditionally denying your application to join the Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr. Having said that, Lt. Gunter Kunrad has volunteered to be your guide and to fly alongside you on your regular Rheinwehr duties. You are to be trained and observed by him and will be accepted into der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr without the need to re-apply when Leutnant Gunter Kunrad deems you ready. Please make sure the call signs of your vessels bare your name so we can recognise you.
Good luck, and make sure to impress the Leutnant and follow his orders and tutelage.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Alexander Arnold
Admiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
