Background Born into a military family, Rachel entered the LSF at the age of 17. Her Father was the commander of a Dreadnought class Battleship, her mother was a politician that gave everything to end the nomad war,with a victory of course. Life hasn´t been easy, but it was a good life. She didn´t hear much from her parents since she joined the LSF, only the monthly money transferes let her new that her parents are good. Rachel didn´t have many friends, but the ones she had, were like brothers and sisters to her. The LSF provided a good training, even though she wasn´t the fastest when it came to learning. Nearly 2 years went over just like this, when the money transferes for her education stopped,so even the last bit of contact to her parents broke up. No matter who she asked, nobody could tell her what happened...until she found an audio log in a box of cargo she had to transport to Outpost Trenton. It was from her parents, they told her to leave the LSF as soon as possible,because parts of the military leadership are said to be under nomad influence. They secretly joined Battlegroup Harmony, to fight against the infestation. That seemed like the perfect opportunity to meet her parents again after years. She left the LSF after some days and tried to get contact to Battlegroup Harmony.
Background Born in Bretonia, Allison and her adoptive father moved to Liberty in the early spring of 816 A.S. After the bombings at Fort Bush, the turmoil enticed her to enlist in the Liberty Navy, going the route of officer training fresh off the boat. Graduating from West Point near the top of her class, she was assigned to the Third Fleet and, though the years of war with both Rheinland and Gallia, she raised to the rank of Commander. Pending Captain promotion, she was held back by her CO's desire to remain in command, effectively halting her advancement. Nearing her wit's end, she was approached by the division's XO, a fellow cooperator with Harmony, and was provided leaflets of the transmission listing the misguidance of the Navy. She reached out to Harmony, being brought in alongside her new post aboard the L.N.S. (now S.N.S.) Shamrock Bay to liberate Liberty from the threat within.

Background As a child of two Navy officers it was clear that Ashley enlisted as soon as she was old enough. During her training she showed dedication and a good understanding of space combat. After her basic training, when she turned 20, she was assigned to a small wing of recruits to prove herself in space. Ashley never wanted to raise up in the rank, she was a grunt, a soldier that followed orders, not someone who gives orders. She valued the opinion of her superiors and did not question them.
Due to her exceptional ability to track down enemies, she was given the codename 'Hawkeye' which soon became her callsign.
When the Battlegroup Harmony was reformed in 822 A.S. she was reassigned to fight alongside the Battlegroup. There she continued to as a fighter pilot and followed orders of the Battlegroups Commanding officer.
During the events in Alaska she was severely wounded as she backed up the Harmony forces and helped them escape. She was lucky to retreat last second and reach allied forces before her ship blew up. She did manage to survive the rest of the trip the harmony took.
Even though she managed to survive, the outcome of her medical situation looked grim. She was recovered out of her pod in a coma that lasted a whole year. When she finally woke up again she still was injured and had to recover quite a bit longer. During the year 824 she took the time to recover from the remaining wounds and injuries. Both physical and psychological. Her physical recovery was quick and her psychological recovery was promising but she still wasn't allowed to fight until she got the word.
A whole year passed until everything was cleared and her medical records passed as being ready to fly again. Now she's seeking to get into battle again, to help the Battlegroup fight the traitorous government.

Note:
Background My life have begun in Gallic sovereign space, system Lyonnais, in orphanage of one of the major cities on sole settled planet in the system, Lyon. 'Graduating' it when we - me and my slightly older sister along with me - have turned eighteen - we've been politely asked to get out, orphanage could not afford to care about us anymore; and it was it - 'adult' life at it's best, despite the fact we've encountered the trouble of lack of literally everything and unability to set some confidence into our future due to the lack of skills necessary for the jobs at the board. And the one that - in pure theory - had the least requirements was the military academy,
where we would continue improving with certain skills while having the minimal necessary level for living in the modern world.
Attending it took five more years of spare time and given us the hope for the future as a part of Royal Navy - an ability to make career and ensure the better future for both of us.
Still, not everything went as smooth as we expected.
Actually, the trouble was so close that we missed to notice this - something right in front of our noses before they were actually blown up and caught everyone's attention. The isolation that have existed for centuries was breached, and it turned out that there, behind the minefields - the whole sector inhabited with four different civilisations based off on the cultures that other Sleeper Ships carried onboard.
This was one of the shameful pages in the history of Gallia. They knew this all along and lied to us, preparing to throw the invasion when the time comes.
Of course, not everyone liked the obvious lies. Discontent were growing exponentionally, many pilots took their ships, left their bases of deployment and never turned back, vanishing in the darkness of Sirius - so did me and my sister, Amelie. Through, our paths separated pretty fast - she knew for sure what she was looking after, seeminly settled somewhere around Liberty space, and me, still uncertain and calculating opportunities while residenting in border worlds, far from the places i can encounter any acting Royal Navy officers.
Meanwhile, i have considered finding a way of investing additional funds into my life. A contract with Kruger gave me everything -
the ship, the business to do, the credits income... and a new cause to go for.
This happened when i suddenly encountered some unsual capital ship on my usual ore route to Denver. I was tempted to drop a line of greeting to it's captain, which resulted in both nice dialogue - and some flashbacks of the time when i tried myself with incompetent Liberty Navy dorks, actually leaving them few weeks after they eventually accepted me in rank of ensign. That kind of cause wasn't the one i was looking for to follow.
And the information provided by Harmony's captain - makes their cause much more attractive to fight and, maybe - even to die for.
So here i am, as was proposed - signing to the ranks of Battlegroup Harmony.
Gender: Female Date of birth: 802 Place of birth: Beaumont Base, Texas System, Liberty
Origin group: Junkers Join Date: Moved into active duty on 825.07.06
Certifications: Basic space flight, rudimentary combat.
Note:
Background While it is generally rare that Junkers should find any other purpose beyond profiting from the rich debris fields around Sirius, there are a few such as Carson Dorne, who'll answer the call of duty, where it may be argued that most of her kind would not. She was found by one of the Battlegroup's covert operatives in the bar on Planet Houston, where the young Dorne had just arrived for a drink after mining for premium scrap deep in Pequena Negra. Born on Beaumont Base located in the North Dallas Debris field and toughened by the rough lifestyle of the Junkers of Liberty, she was a choice aspirant for recruitment.
Ultimately, it was the Liberty Authorities' harsh treatment of the Junkers that pushed her to apply as a pilot for Battlegroup Harmony. Between both Navy and Policy brutality towards the salvagers, scrappers and miners of the debris fields increasing, and heightened ambushes from the Xeno Alliance, Carson found reason in the Battlegroup's ideals, and possibly, a purpose higher than just mining for scraps across Liberty - a chance to fight for the freedom to do it.
And although Dorne possesses no professional qualifications in combat or flying, character references have cited her competency as a pilot - often playing defensively over leaping into the gun-sights of both pirates and police. Recordings of her activities in the North Dallas Debris Field and Pequena Negra suggest that she'd learn very quickly from additional training, and her ingenuity with ship repair and maintenance acquired from the Junkers would be able to serve Harmony as well when not in combat.
When queried about her intentions for enlisting for Battlegroup Harmony, she replied that she believed that the Harmony Separatists had the right of way in this conflict, in that they seldom attacked civilian targets or even Junkers, while the authorities who claimed legitimacy bullied and battled to no end; that with Harmony, Texas, if not all of Liberty, would finally find peace.
She does not appear to be privy to intelligence on Nomad activity or infection within Liberty Space yet.

Background Yann Blackwings was born on Planet Manhattan, ten years before the Nomad War. He grew up in a wealthy family. The father was officer on the Battleship Unity and the mother was in the nuclear research. The little Yann showed a great admiration for the Navy and he developed good capacities in the steering of vessel. Yann had very shocked by the death of his father when the Unity was destroyed by the LNS-Chicago of Marcus Walker.
Despite this tragedy his vocation for the military was still present and strong. At 18 years old he started his formation to West Point Military Academy to become officer. After results at the examens very promising, he named in a squadron of Guardian fighter in the interior front against the pirates and Rogues. He became captain of a Liberty gunboat “Defiant” class just before the beginning of the Rheinland War. During this conflict, he showed a great efficiency but he was injured in a battle with a Donau cruiser. This war was finished for him. However for his services he became in 822 AS the captain of the new Liberty Siege cruiser, LNS-Arctique and was transferred on the Gallic Front. He has participated at many major battles and helped the Bretonian during the Nomads invasion of New London in 824 AS. Yann tried a new tactic against the invincible Valors battleship; use the forward gun at stay at distance of their mains guns. With ten Valors destroyed in total including an Admiral Valor ship, the Arctique was surnamed "The Valors hunter" in the Navy which earned him the admiration of the High Command.
The crew and the Captain Yann in recompense received a special cloak disruptor technology and the access to the main secret station in Alaska and Virginia. In 825 AS, everything changed. Yann discovered in the Kodiak research station in Alaska experiences on Nomads remains, the creation by the Navy and the LSF of adapted Nomad weapons for fighters ships and capitals ships. Furthermore he heard many things about the Harmony battlegroup and the Nomads inside the Navy. With many risks and with the agreement of the crew, he contacted Harmony battlegroup to know the reasons of the fight between them and Liberty. Everything being kept secret on this battlegroup in the Navy and LSF. The Admiral of Harmony, Victoria Knight showed at the Arctique all the true, the Nomads who infect the Liberty Navy and LSF, and the treason odious that suffered Harmony battlegroup. Yann and this crew could only go to the obvious, Liberty betrayed them, they lived in the lie and in the corruption. Arctique asked to Victoria if a help can be possible.
The Admiral accepted the help and authorized the enter in the Separatists with the cruiser and with the crew. Since this event, captain Blackwings served the Separatists and Harmony with a great energy and has participated or leaded many majors operations outside the Separatists House.
Background Athena was living a rough life since the day she decided to exchange living with her strict mother with living at her father's. Her father's job was managing a security department at the local spaceport. It was a less controlled place and fighting was frequent. But her father didn't pay her much attention. Her free time was used well as she got into trouble frequently and later joined up with one of the gangs. That was when she began to learn the basics of piloting a ship. One of the local Rogue members had a thing for her and would show off his 'ship'. A real hunk of junk.
As it happened, he eventually wouldn't return, finally being caught as a pirate. The following combination of teenage drama and alcohol would get her father in trouble after which he sent her back right away to her mother. Not willing to grant her the satisfaction and suffer her style of life she did the only reasonable thing: Joining the Navy.
The Navy managed to give her life structure and she slowly managed, had to, get her life together. But her superiors certainly didn't recon her to be a diamond in the rough. And after passing all courses she was 'urged' to reconsider her career in the Navy. With no place to go to willingly, she signed up with the Bounty Hunters Guild.
A few years later she'd be forced to witness the madness that was the Separatist struggle. At first she'd deemed them just a bunch of traitors- targets like the Legion or other defectors. Not even the Separatist' propaganda effort would change her mind. It was only when she saw Navy vessels suddenly open fire on civilians and their comrades that she began to doubt the situation. It'd take a few more months until she docked with Freeport 2 and made her way to the Separatist offices on the station.

Background I was born in 801 A.S on Planet Los Angeles. My parents died two years after as far as I know during a pirate attack. I grew up alone and I didn’t have any choice to make do by myself. I developed some skills to the fighter control. Thus, I decided to join the Navy when I was 18 years old. I fought on the Gallic Front and I have been engaged in the Liberty Expeditionary Force in Bretonia. Nonetheless, I didn’t find myself in the Navy and I left with the rank of Lieutenant-Commander. In 823 A.S, I lived being a Freelancer in the Independent Worlds. I went in the Omicrons and I made a friend. Once we returned in Liberty in 825 A.S we were escorting an Iridium convoy. However, we have suffered an attack from some pirates and to avoid the destruction, we have been forced to fly near Zone-21. This had as consequences to be engaged by the Navy forces. As result, my friend died. I heard many things about Battlegroup Harmony and about your actions against the infected marine. That’s why I decide to join you. In order to have a future and to take my revenge against this Navy.

Background Jonas Michaels was born on Freeport 2, and spent his childhood in the same manner that many Zoners on the station did, contributing to the continued existence of the whole. Taught to pilot starships from a young age, Jonas longed for the freedom of space, and spent every waking moment dreaming of the next flight.
Developing an independent streak at a young age, Jonas soon developed an authority problem, mainly with the people in charge. In a surprising twist of fate, he ran away from the Zoner station and its regulations, to sign up with the Liberty Navy. Already capable of flying starships of various sizes, he was enrolled for further training as a strike craft pilot, and passed with above average grades.
Assigned to the Harmony, Jonas clashed multiple times with the chain of command, the only thing stopping him from being dishonorably discharged being the Battlegroups defection. Suddenly a valuable asset in limited trained pilots, Michaels authority issues were waved under the rug, and he was assigned taskings that kept him, and his squad, as far away from conventional command as possible, while allowing the maverick to operate at his best.

Background Born in Liberty, and entirely unmotivated to study further, Dunn found himself reluctantly signing up for the navy when he came of age. Expecting the life of discipline and routine to be chafing, Dunn took great delight in avoiding as many regulations as he could without getting caught.
Eventually finding dodging duties, or trading them away too dull for his tastes, he began expanding his "entrepreneurial" services, and quickly earned a rumored reputation of being able to get hold of any military gear that money could buy. Faced with an investigation and trial after a buy turned out to be a well disguised sting, Dunn jumped ship by joining with the renegade Battlegroup Harmony.
Still known for swindling comrades and finding forgotten gear, Dunn has found himself assigned to remote tasking, to prevent the loss of valuable equipment, while still allowing the scavenger to entertain himself with relieving his squadmates of their money.
