Name: Kashiwagi Chikaze Birth Date: 22.09.798 Position being applied for: Researcher/Retainer Criminal Record: Clear, numerous administrative violations due to parking failure Nationality: Kusari
Konnichiwa!
My name is Kashiwagi Chikaze, I am a software engineer. I have three years of experience in Mabuchi Technologies, a small company of my family's friends. Mabuchi Technologies is one of the many tiny contractors for Kishiro Technologies at Honshu.
Sadly Mabuchi is not able to provide me with the ability to implement the passion project of mine. I have been working on it offtime for all these years and I think I am getting closer to the final stages. I am developing software solutions for remote control of the spaceships as well as having a very early prototype of code for the recon drone.
Just like any other software solution, this has no chance to work without the hardware, and here's where I ran into the stonewall and hoping for your help. If you could provide engineers to install the receiver and provide the testing ship I could make a lot of progress. I don't mind you owning the intellectual rights on this software, my goal is to just make it work.
If you decide to help and the first tests will run well and you will consider this project worth further investment, I then wish to become a full-time employer.
Please give me a chance!
I hereby acknowledge that I understand the requirements and responsibilities of the position being applied for.
This is to notify you that your application has been accepted and you will be granted the funding for your project. Our team of engineers is not big but we can contact you with the engineers from Tenmei University to assist you on the project. Our belief is that your drone project can assist with the exploration of Sigma-63 system that is currently being observed for perspectives of colonisation.
To increase the efficiency of cooperation, we advise you to file a request with specifications regarding your project, namely the amount of money needed for its development, as well as the type of the ship needed and other requirements if there are any. The Clan will offer you tentative financial support regardless until further success in your project with the resources allocated.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and wish you success in your endeavour.
Name: Kakuzu Masaru Birth Date: 25.5.766 Position being applied for: Retainer 陪侍 Criminal Record: Clean Nationality: Kusarian
Place of birth: Planet Kyushu in the Kyushu system. Education: Bachelor's degree of Computer Sciences at University of Kyushu Post education: Kusari State Police
Career:
Kusari State Police (791 - 821)
My first two years were spent at Administration Bureau 総務部. In 793 I've received training for domestic Very Heavy Fighters, Heavy Fighters and Light Fighters and was therefore transferred to Public Security Bureau 公安部. Nothing special occurred in the first 5 years of my flight experiences apart from catching few lowlife smugglers and criminals. In 798, KSP Command assigned me for 5 years to New Tokyo's Narita Outpost, where my hands were full of smugglers, slavers and general criminals. Around 803 I had enough experience to volunteer to secure the outskirts of a local Research Complex in Kyushu system that was often under attack by the Blood Dragons.
In 810 the KSP Command transferred me to Organized Crime Control Bureau 組織犯罪対策部 in Kyushu and my work field became Ohka Dust Field, which is well known to contain Golden Chrysanthemums, Blood Dragons and Cardamine smugglers. Until 821, my operations mostly included taking into custody any ships considered banned or their cargo illegal, larger threats were reported to KNF for containment.
Retirement (821 - 826)
After reaching 30 years of service for Kusari State Police, KSP Command transferred me to Personnel and Training Bureau 警務部 after I declined retirement.
Nowadays (827)
While speaking with some of my former colleagues, your clan was mentioned with its ideologies, this caught my attention to contact you. Personally, I'm looking for a change in life and perhaps a more peaceful work environment. As a part of an apolitical structure for 35 years, my views are mostly parallel with yours, an inward development and more peaceful applications are what I believe Kusari needs. My computer and combat experiences will be at your disposal.
Skills:
- Bachelor's degree of Computer Sciences
- 2 years in KSP Administration Bureau 総務部
- 18 years in KSP Public Security Bureau 公安部
- 10 years in KSP Organized Crime Control Bureau 組織犯罪対策部
- 5 years as a KSP Instructor at Personnel and Training Bureau 警務部
I hereby acknowledge that I understand the requirements and responsibilities of the position being applied for.
This is to notify you that your application has been accepted and you are hereby admitted into the ranks of the retainers of the Shimamori Clan. Your extensive list of service, experience, and acquired expertise in our view will certainly benefit the clan's endeavours and safety. We are pleased to see you share the ideals of the Clan and hope that your service while adhering to those ideals will not be contradicting your convictions.
As a member of the clan, you are now entitled to all the benefits of the clan: salary, residence, legal representation, pension, etc. Please, arrive to Shimamori Castle on Haneda island, planet Honshu for further directions. Allow us once again to welcome you to the clan and wish you good service.
Name: Yury Bolotin Birth Date: 11.07.800 Position being applied for: Security Officer Criminal Record: Clean Nationality: Liberty
Greetings to the Shimamori Clan!
My name is Yury Bolotin. I'm an ex-military, currently a bounty hunter. I'm new to Kusari, but the successes of your Clan have already attracted my attention, that is why I would like to work for you as a security officer.
I was born on planet Manhattan in a family of a space-miner and a teacher in 800 A.S.; I am not a professionally trained military man, but I hope that my track record will convince you that I am competent enough.
In 826 A.S. I started as a convoy escort in Apex Co - a small Bretonian traiding corporation, which grew so fast that they hired almost anyone. There I got experience in convoy defence - one of the main things I suppose I'll be doing for Shimamori Clan - flying back and forth through the unsafety Omegas. During the construction of the headquarters, the corporation took on more than it could pull, and declared bankruptcy. After that, I met interesting people, more often adventurers, or you can call them explorers, which worked closely with the Zoner community.
Same year I joined militarized branch of Zoners - the Velvet, under the callsign "Jade". There I gained invaluable combat experience, because I was fighting with the greatest enemy of mankind - the Nomads. I have also undergone special therapy that can slightly reduce the hypnotic influence of Nomads, which is enough to retreat. I can't say that the service there made me an ace pilot, but I definitely won't have thoughts about abandoning my employer in the face of several pirates. I've seen worse threats and on a larger scale. Unfortunately, intrigues among the leadership of the Zoners caused the disbandment of Velvet. I was abandoned during a temporary assignment on Freeport 6, in Tau-29. I had two options: to go to Bretonia or to Kusari. And I chose the latter.
In 827 A.S., after a break, I went back to what I knew best - space combat. I registered as a bounty hunter for Samura Heavy Industries and Kusari Empire, officially scoring 6 destroyed targets. No doubt I could increase this score, and I get paid well, but this earnings are fickle, and I'm never sure if I'll get paid next time. I'm looking for a more reliable option and chose your Clan. I'm looking forward to your answer. Sayōnara.
I hereby acknowledge that I understand the requirements and responsibilities of the position being applied for.
Yury Bolotin

Clan Shimamori has no prejudice regarding the employment of foreigners in Kusari. We have recently employed as a retainer another Libertarian, albeit of Kusari origin. However, we do have to duly inform you that certain positions such as honour guards have special cultural value in Kusari and are generally reserved for the subjects of the Empire of Kusari. If this does not discourage you and you would like to proceed with your employment we are happy to announce that you have been accepted into the ranks of the Clan's security officers as a space armed escort pilot.
Your experience of rendering escort support to vessels will be most welcome and of great value given how many civilian VIPs, mostly scientists and Shimamori family members require armed escorts. From time to time the Marquess also ventures deeper into the Omicrons and Sigmas for stellar observations and there your Omegas experience will be of crucial importance. All in all, we would be glad to have you in our ranks.
On a side note, when free from escorting duty you are free to track and hunt the targets from official Kusari bounty boards. Clan Shimamori encourages any contribution to fighting crime and promoting stability in Kusari and would pay you appropriate premiums for taking the unlawful targets down. You are also free to carry out any other task from our own job board on HSE.
Please, visit the Clan's headquarters in Nakashibetsu, Haneda island, planet Honshu for your new residence and to get the necessary equipment and documents. You are also free to choose any other place of residence not far from the HQ where you will be carrying out your services. Please, do not hesitate to contact us or the Clan's secretariat if you have any requests or questions.
We welcome you to Clan Shimamori and wish you luck and success in the course of your new employment!
