A biography of you:
Born and raised on planet New Tokyo by father Katsuo and mother Mayu, Makoto had an average childhood, after elementary and high school, he enlisted into Kusari Naval Forces pilot academy. After finishing fighter and bomber training, he underwent capital simulations, where he proved to be a capable captain for a "Takeda" -class destroyer. After all Makoto was fascinated by this ship and wanted to fly it ever since he joined the academy. Unfortunately for him all of the destroyers in service were already under command by capable and experienced captains, which meant Makoto had a long way to go before he could achieve his goal.
When the war with Bretonia broke out in 814 A.S. he was stationed as an assault wing. After Gallia had cut Kusari's front into two, he saw many horrors that Gallia brought, he saw many of his wing mates die in front of his eyes, what has left a mark on him forever. After Kusari had withdrawn from the war and Gallia's influence on the new Goverment established, Makoto could not watch GRN freely fly past him. Once his anger for Gallia was noticed by his commanding officer he was transfered to planet Kyushu to serve as a soldier in one of the many bases, to make sure no incidents happen.
With not knowing what to do, he remembered one person, his close friend Minoru Jiro who he meet on the academy and served with ever since, who got cut off when Gallia attacked and joined the Exiles. The two got in contact, although in secret. When Makoto learned of IKN's plan from his friend to finally push deeper into Kyushu system and to capture the planet, he decided that this was the perfect chance for him to finally get back to fighting Gallia and it's grip on Kusari. When the invading troops started landing he opened some of the doors to the base he served in, making it easier for them to clear it and capture it. He then surrendered to them calling out that he was friendly and wants to help. Once Kyushu got captured and everything settled he joined the IKN to put his skills to good use once more.

A biography of you:
On Planet Honshu, Hiroshige was born and raised in a middle-class family. He was interested in fishing at first, as there were always enough jobs for it as well, but fishing was not exactly lucrative. He was educated, and thus, got engaged in the optronics industry for a couple of years. He found this work to be kind of underwhelming as well.
It was after he left his work in the industry that he realized he could go out there, into space, and fight for the house of Kusari. He proved to be a quick-learning pilot and advanced through the ranks up, until he commanded a small gunboat. It was around that time that the house of Gallia made itself known. With his abilities, he was assigned to a fleet that was to defend Kusarian borders. The Gauls committed a lot of assaults against both Bretonia and Kusari, and his hate towards the new house grew by the day. One day, the forces outside of mainland Kusari was ordered to retreat, but the fleet he was in was trapped with no means to return.
This was a turning point in his life, as he soon realized things have changed in Kusari. Things that he and a lot of others did not like. Thus, he became a part of the 'Kusari Exiles', which he wholeheartedly supported. Today, he still fights against the Gauls, helping the Imperial Navy hold against the Republican forces.
It is good to hear that you have experience with our cause prior to applying here, the 343rd will surely become a stronger force with experienced pilots. You ar hereby accpeted into the 343rd Naval Space Group.
Why you want to join our cause:I've fought for the Imperial Navy before. I'm just glad I got this transmission after hiding away since we all got seperated. My loyalty has not faltered and I won't go back to the life of a Rouroni again.
Specific skills or traits:While not the most skilled fighter, I can focus and stay calm even in the most dire situations. I also practice the Hiten-Mitsurugi style for as long as I can remember, giving me a better oversight when multiple foes are to be disposed of.
A biography of you:
As I said, I lost my memory. I do not remember family or friends, home or vacation. I only know I once woke up in a medical bay on Sapporo Station in Hokkaido. Apparently I got ambushed by gallic forces and a hull breach knocked me into the wall, ridding all of my memories. From there on I sold the last scrap parts of my ship and worked to afford another, looking for my past. Needless to say, I failed. But I did manage to find something to fight for. Many times I was assaulted in space, and many times the Naval Forces just watched, betting on who would deal the killing blow. I've lost all faith and trust in the Naval Forces, which was not the case for the 343rd. Again I was assaulted, but the Imperial Navy came and assisted me. I talked to them, thanked them, and promised them that I would help, whenever I could. And so I did, eventually acquiring a place in the ranks of the 343rd. When we all had to go into hiding, however, as we were overwhelmed from all sides, there was nothing left. No message from the Dai, no signs of life from former friends. But now that I see this, I have purpose again. I will do everything in my might to not let the same catastrophy occur to the Imperial Navy again.
I will rid myself of this hide-and-seek Naval Forces Gunboat if you give me the order to, and I will proudly fly the Imperial Navy's colors once more.
it is a shame that you got disrespected by the Naval Forces that much and that you lost your memory. Since I, myself, need to learn much about leading a group dedicated like this, I am glad to hear that we offered you shelter before, I am very glad to do you this favor again. You are accepted in the 343rd.
Why you want to join our cause:To uphold and restore the honor of our emperor, and by extension,
the Empire of Kusari.
Specific skills or traits:I have led many a strike force through the Tau's, both before the war with Bretonia, during, and after, fighting Outcasts and now Gauls. I can hold my own using a variety of snubcraft, pack a punch in a bomber or even fly a capital ship, if the need be. Versatility and perseverance are key strategies for fighting a larger foe, much like how we fight to protect our home against the influences of Gallia.
A biography of you:
I was born and raised, like many in my family over the generations, on a military base. In my case, this was Matsue Base in Hiroshima. I was enrolled in various schools from a young age to teach me every skill a modern pilot and commander would need in this day and age. When I came of age, I enlisted in the Naval Fores, and worked my way up the ranks. I fought in the Hydrogen Clouds of the Sigma's and the Rocky fields of the Tau's, outcasts everywhere, among other scum and pirates. Before long, Bretonia started making unsubstantiated claims over territory that was rightfully property of the Kusari Empire. Eventually, war broke out and my squadron, well experienced in fighting through the domain of the Tau's, stood strong at the front of every assault, until we had almost reached Planet Leeds itself. However, just as my squadron was pulled back from the Smog Clouds, the Gallic Navy appeared behind our supply lines. The fighting was hard, harder than the Bretonians, and our lines started to break. The politicians back in New Tokyo may have given up on our Emperor, but I and my squadron never will. The Empire has lost it's way, and only by removing the Gallic influence and restoring honor to Kusari can we return the Empire to its former glory.
Why you want to join our cause:I am currently without direction. My leader is gone, my brothers slain, and my honor lost. To avenge the deaths of countless ronin, I must rejoin the great Imperial Kusari Fleet
Specific skills or traits:Kaigun-Daisa of 141st Infiltration Wing, Heir of Noble Clan Izay
A biography of you:
Born to workers of Samura, we lived in quiet comfort until my will to join the Imperial Kusari Forces, at the time the main defending fleet for Kusari. My first deployment was the troubled Tau regions, serving as a scout for the shadow wing into Bretonia. After saving my shogunate from capture by Bretonian hands, I was bestowed the commander's role within the wing. The day the Gallic Royal Navy invaded the Taus was the day I became ronin with my brothers. Unable to defend my honorable emperor, I was shot down in battle with the Gallic threat. Our battle turned onto the Gallic attackers, and the Imperial Fleet joined Bretonia against the new invaders. We turned to our House, hoping for the glimmer of hope to end the war on Bretonia, only to find they have turned their backs on us, throwing their honor away. Unable to return to Kusari knowing the dishonor currently on my name, I remained in the Taus, slowly trying to regain the honor of Clan Izay by defeating 1000 Gallic invaders and 10000 more traitors of once-glorious House Kusari for every brother lost by the so called Republic of Kusari. The 343rd fights on, however, to hold on to the last of Kusari's honor, and I wish to fight alongside them once more, to save Kusari.
I am glad to see both of you wishing to join, Sasashi-san, your loyalty to the Tenno will surely prove that you are a capable warrior and thus you are accepted into the cause. Okita-san, you know our ways and I am glad you wish to join the 343rd, you are accepted as well.
