Hello my name is Captain R. Fang and am from the distant world of Gran Canaria.
I grew up on the border worlds with my mom and dad. When I was just 17, my dad's convoy had been ambushed by an invading Outcast fleet. At that point I thought he was dead. Our planet was under severe bombardment and became a fighter pilot to protect my planet. While amidst a huge space battle I had come into contact with another ace, who I was able to kill after a lengthy battle, but found out later it was my father who had been trained in the ways of the Outcast. From there I joined a deep space reconnaissance group who would patrol the edge worlds. Now, I have a large explorer ship, the K-41. It currently has 27 crew members.
My idea of what the guild does is to bring prosperity to those who deserve it the most. To those who dedicate themselves to working in the harsh environments in asteroid fields. Therefore I think it is crucial to find new fields and exploit them for their minerals.
To the IMG, I can bring my ship and my expertise of the edge worlds, Tau;Omicron;Sigma;Omega, and be a reliable source for finding new mine-able areas that will prove extremely lucrative to our profession.

Greetings IMG my name is Jacob Hanson and I am an ex-DSE employee who was recently laid off with a number of workers due to rising costs in the business. I currently have no family connection and I am single with only a single Starflier in my control. I use to be a miner for the DSE usually heading out into the debris fields around Pittsburgh but sometimes heading into Colorado to mine for silver and trade supplies. With little money and needing assistance I turn to you for employment. I hope to here from you shortly.
A few Details:
Name: Jacob Hanson
Age: 27
Occupation: Ex-Miner

SUBJECT: Miner looking to join IMG
Hello.
As the message stats, I am Erik Wyvern and I am looking to join the Independent Miners Guild. Allow me to give you a little about myself and reasons I am looking to become a member of IMG.
I was born on the GMG station Naha in the Sigma 13 system. My father; Erik Wyvern Senior was Rheinland citizen who, like his father went to work for GMG as a miner. They primarily worked on collectors but were also cross trained in refinery work. However both times war broke out; my grandfather and my father answered the Fatherlands call, joining the Rheinland military.
I respected my father; he took me under his wing and taught me the mining trade. The problem is I do not see myself as a Rheinlander, I was born on a GMG space station in the Border Worlds. I never even set foot on a Rheinland world. So my Father packed up to leave for the most recent war I told him that I would have no part in it. I packed up the few belongings I owned and purchased a ticket on the first transport away from GMG and Rheinland space. I have landed on the planet Pittsburg and am having trouble finding employment.
I am not one to take handouts and that is why I am turning to IMG. I have seven years of experience in the mining profession and to be honest mining is in my blood. I however lack the funds to purchase my own mining vessel and would gladly work one of your; possible operator to own program.
All I want to do is find a place to lay down roots and make a living away from the Houses. If I am lucky maybe meet a nice girl and start a family. I was told you stand up for the little guy and want to work claims which others have over looked. Your goals match up in this aspect and I think will come out ahead in a partnership.
Thank you for taking the time to review my submission.
Erik Wyvern

I am seeking membership into the IMG. I have spent most of my life under mountains on various planets across Liberty, mining resources for slave like rates. I finally saved up enough money to buy my own ship, so I quit my job and headed out to see what the stars(more like the asteroids) could do for me. I've a knack for fixing things and a lust for exploration. Plus I've got years of mining experience, so I feel I can at the very least pull my own weight in the IMG. I know what it's like to be a wage slave and I've heard great things about the way the IMG treats people, all people. I hope to be a part of that in the near future. Oh and the 5 mil. signing bonus isn't a bad draw as well.....
From: Tam Dunbar, Aboard the mining vessel Albiorix
To: Director Claude Foster.
Greetngs,
I would like to offer my services to the guild. A native of Leeds, I have for some years been operating the mining vessel Albiorix as an independent extractor. I can now see the benefit of becoming part of the IMG as we seem to share the same principles.
As I already have the Albiorix all fitted out, I would not require any funding for a vessel. I would, however, be keen to recieve extra training and information on efficient extraction from the most profitable fields.
I am glad you are taking your time to read my application, I am a man from the planet Cambridge, I have much experiance with fighters and Gunboats controls expecially with my IMG Spatial that is heavy equiped, The IMG Gunboat is from my long lost father, and I also have a Mining Ship, Equiped with Mining Lasers and is stationed in the Gold Fields in Dublin not far of our Battleship ::HOOD::. My IMG Gunboat is part of the IMG Guard and is ready to defend against the most tricky and Violent foe. I also have a IMG Bomber soon to be loaded out with the best of everything, Its not in service or ready to fly yet but in a few Wekks it will be ready. My Mining ship isn't enough to be worth long journets because of its 2700 cargo so i am saving for a IMG Transport with 5000 Units i belive. I have now got the AVD.Viper (name is unknown) Its kitted out with amazing wepons and hardware, Its awaiting orders at Java station in Tau-23 along with my GunBoat, Bomber, MiningShip and my Spatial is at Tau-31.
As you can see and I am very wealthy and have got many types of vessels I understand t5hat only a few of these can begin but i hopfully will be ranked up quickly to gain the others into the Guild. It was only last week when a old friend joined the BMM and he tryed to make me do as well, i refused and now he as tryed to send letters to make me still join. I have seen the BMM for what they really are, they arn't Miners only Men with wips forcing others to work.
I Would really like to know the best mining areas and where to sell the product for, The 5million creits would be nice as well, My ship name is Independant.Miner..

Mr Foster i am miner, a rookie one at that since i am new to this trade and having only worked in this sector for less than a month but while trying to make a go of it myself around Dublin, Cardiff and more recently Omega 7 i have not come into much profit and instead have to make countless repairs from various radioation and pirates which is making me lose more money than i can gain on my own so i humble request to join your admirable organisation within the Mining division.
i believe working alongside other miners that not only will my profit's soar but also gain protection from pirates and also access to the rich Niobium fields within the Tau's and i look forward from hearing from you shortly
Claude Foster walked into his office on Falkland. Looking around he noticed a large stack of documents - larger than he was used to! It appeared many people were suddenly wanting to join the IMG. He began to write a memo to send to these people.
Greetings future guildmembers!
Unfortunately, I have been greatly inundated with paperwork all of a sudden. I am a simple miner, so I'm not used to that; please bear with me while I get back to you all.
From: Elrohir Sirfalas
To: IMG Human Resources Director
Sir,
I have extensive experience in shipping vessels, but due to the current economic crisis I have been made redundant from my post as a 'self employed' shipping contractor at Stokes Mining Station.
Although my background is in shipping rather than mining, my time before getting command of a trading vessel was spent as a Weapons & Sensors officer onboard a Heavy Tanker. I feel that this experience would allow me to be of value to the IMG given that judicious use of sensors (for detecting either minable deposits or hostiles) and precise mining laser targeting are a big part of successful mining operations.
Regrettably, economic circumstances mean that I may not be able to fund a full-size Mining Ship, however I could possibly make a contribution in the lower millions of credits towards whatever role the IMG assigns me.
Sincerely,
Elrohir Sirfalas
