Your story is, sadly, one shared by a lot of our youth. Although unlike most, you've made the brave choice of walking on the path of war. Your dedication and ability in fighters will serve us well. You've been ACCEPTED into His majesty's navy at the rank of Maître, owing to your youth, previous experience and university qualifications. Congratulations.
Jean Soult,
Your name is, indeed, known to the Marine Royale thanks to your actions in the field and your experience has shown to be a valuable asset thus far. We are pleased that you elected to request transfer to the vanguard of the Roi's forces.
However, a slight issue remains. Several elements of your application have been copy-pasted from some of our previous applicants. That you had access to those in a first place is a distressing notion. That you elected to plagiarise them thinking it wouldn't be noticed is unseemly. Your application is PENDING until you amend your initial post. Don't miss this opportunity : the Roi's armies await you.

Questionnaire
On a scale to ten, how would you rate your piloting ability?: 9, changes due dailybases
What are your skills?: good snub pilot, decent bomber pilot, decent in gunboats and smaller capital vessels.
Describe the Kingdom's primary enemies:
The "Council". They are terrorists, a lot of people still remembers the Bourgon-Jallieu disaster, they deserve to be erradicated to show the rest of the peasants that le roi is a good person, but unforgiving against terrorists.
House Bretonia. They are proving to be very determined to resist, still, this ancestral enemy of our house will be punished and brought to his knees.
House Liberty. This "republic" has infiltrated everywhere to preserve his benefits and is proving to be extremely corrupt, le roi is right that they must be eliminated completely and that their secrets must be ours.
The Crayter Republic. Annoying pariahs, even the rest of the houses of sirius barely tolerates them.
Anyone who stands against the Crown of Gallia.
While on patrol, you encounter a small wing of Council fighters. They spot you, and begin threatening your life unless you disable your craft and surrender to their cause. You are outgunned and the nearest friendly patrol that would bring the tide to your favour is ten minutes away from you. What will you do?:
- A soldier does not fear death, fighting till the end it shall be, rather death than any information to the enemy.
During one of your flights, you encounter an escape pod or a malfunctioning ship. The person inside is speaking in Sirian tongue and is asking for immediate help. If you wait any longer, the pilot will perish horribly. What will you do?:
- Hard question though, it could be a valid source of intel on the other hand it could be a civilian who doesn't know anything about strategical positions within his colony. There is also the chance it could be a spy from houses we're at war with, however in both cases taking the pod with me would result in a interrogation and the possibility to gain intel. Maybe the survivor is thankfull enough to maybe stay in Gallia to start a new life. However I would take the pod with me.
What is your S.K.Y.P.E. ID?:xx1klasxx or Wasser#3786 for Discord
Will you always remain rational and calm, follow orders, even if the situation could not be worse?: Yes
Your services to the previous incarnation of the Marine Royale are well documented. You are known to be a reliable a dedicated fighter pilot, and this is precisely the kind of officer we need to lead our wings into battle at the moment and in the months to come. Your request to transfer to the MRG has been ACCEPTED . Given your length of your service, you've been assigned a rank above your previous one and will sign as an Enseigne de vaisseau, which comes with the title of lieutenant. Perform adequately and you will rise further.

Applicant Description
Biography:
Eloi Leclerc born the son of a shipwright and an engineer on the planet Orleans. Eloi from an early age was frequently exposed to the Gallic Royal Navy from the local planet-side Observatory viewing the various Gallic Royal Navy ships birthed from the Maintenon Shipyards in orbit. Along with his father working the shipyard, the boy became enamored with the Gallic Royal Navy and the idea of military service. Originally wanting to serve much like his parents as an engineer for the Navy he later found an unexpected joy in flying the old space shuttles during his teenage years, this convinced him to later sign up in the Gallic Royal Navy Flight school at the age of 18.
Soft spoken with a friendly attitude, Eloi does not express the usual bravado and overt eagerness common in young recruits. Nevertheless he shows a silent determination to prove himself during his service with a strong loyalty to the Crown.
Motivations: The tip of the spear, the vanguard, this is how I would describe la Marine Royale Gauloise. Of all the Gallic Royal Navy fleets the MRG has distinguished itself as being the best of the best, I would be immensely honored to be able to serve Le Royaume de Gallia under such a fleet.
Questionnaire
On a scale to ten, how would you rate your piloting ability?:
4. Passed flight school but extremely green in any sort of combat situations. Further instruction from veteran pilots is necessary.
What are your skills?:
As the son of a shipwright I am a skilled mechanic and am capable of maintenance and repair of spacecraft. Although such tasks are usually related to the ground crew, it is always useful out in the field or merely at base when an extra pair of hands are needed.
Describe the Kingdom's primary enemies:
-The Council; Despite their claims otherwise they are nothing more than Terrorists that seek to destabilize Gallia and undermine Gallic authority.
- The Maquis; Yet another group of terrorists, at least they have the decency to label themselves as such.
- Bretonia and Liberty; They oppose the crown's goal of bringing all of Sirius under the banner of Le Royaume de Gallia. Nevertheless they are worthy adversaries for Gallia.
-Brigands, Pirates, and Terrorists; It also is the goal of the Royal Navy to protect her citizens from all manor of unlawful activities and their practicers.
While on patrol, you encounter a small wing of Council fighters. They spot you, and begin threatening your life unless you disable your craft and surrender to their cause. You are outgunned and the nearest friendly patrol that would bring the tide to your favour is ten minutes away from you. What will you do?:
I am outnumbered and outgunned, engaging head on would accomplish nothing. Surrender is not an option. I feel my best option would be to try buy those 10 minuntes for reinforcements to arrive. Evasive maneuvers, harass or keep an eye on the Council forces and relay information. If the worse comes to be I understand it is my duty to scuttle the ship and prevent myself and my ship from falling into Council hands.
During one of your flights, you encounter an escape pod or a malfunctioning ship. The person inside is speaking in Sirian tongue and is asking for immediate help. If you wait any longer, the pilot will perish horribly. What will you do?:
It is the duty of any pilot to help another stranded spacer regardless of nationality, although one should always be wary of a potential ambush. What would happen to the indivual is up to my superiors when I have returned to base and submitted him for processing.
What is your S.K.Y.P.E. ID?:
MrNentendo, Same for discord.
Will you always remain rational and calm, follow orders, even if the situation could not be worse?:
I would like to imagine I am able to be calm under fire; however I would be a fool to believe myself to be able to when I have never been in such a situation first hand.
Your application struck us as that of an even-tempered and loyal citizen of His majesty. Being eager to single-handedly take over Sirius and punch stars into the face of our enemies has never been a prerequisite to enlist. As such, your soft dispositions, technical skills and enthusiasm to serve are all precious qualities to the Marine. We're happy to ACCEPT you in our service. The quality of your application and qualifications have earned you a place among the officers : you'll be started off at the cadet rank of Aspirant. This will allow us to train you further and bring out your full potential.
Official Communique from the Lyon Household of Bordeleaux
Greetings.
My name is Chevalier Madeline Sabine de Bordeleaux, third of my name, Dame of Bordeleaux, and daughter to the late Margrave of Lyon, my father, Sir Alain de Bordeleaux, who fell at Leeds among the ranks of the Marine Royal Galouise.
For three generations our family has given His Majesty's fleets officers, delegates, ambassadors and marines in the defense of the realm. When my father, then head of the Household of Bordeleaux, died just before the eve of the successful taking of Leeds from the enemy, an age-old decree of our family was raised - that the successor and head to our proud but modest family, should serve in the Gallic Royal Navy as representative of our House.
My father died serving the GRN. Allow me to take his place and serve my king, my country and my family.

Applicant Name:Chevalier Madeline Sabine de Bordeleux
Applicant Gender: <Homme (male)/Femme (female)>
Applicant Age: <24 standard human years / 801 A.S.>
Health
Applicant Height: Approx. 165 centimeters
Applicant HealthPassed / Special / Failure
Notes: Candidate has clean bill of health, but blood pressure dipped towards lower end of normal range as observed over an 8-week period during final trials.
Applicant Fitness (underline the correct):Passed / Requires Training / Failure
Notes: All psychological tests point to a closet high-functioning sociopath. Physical fitness exam results are acceptable for a cadet, but unremarkable compared to more gifted students with regard to physical vitality. Strangely however, she exhibited minimal during G-Force tests at the academy considering her frail body type, showing remarkable acclimation to shifting G-forces.
Associate doctors and academy clinicians have noted her mastery of controlled, isometric breathing to counter the effects of G-force pressure. Background checks have shown a childhood predilection for diving during the pubescent years.
I would like to better serve my country and my king. I feel that as dame and director of my household on Lyon, I have done all I can for the planet - the rest is up to the economy and the other minor nobles in their respective regions. I would like to represent His Majesty's Marine Royal as a proud Galouise officer serving in the Border System of Lyonnais, fronting the Kishiri System which faces us with the borders of Kusari Space and the partisan threat of organized crime - the savage and barbarous legacies of the Sirius systems.
Questionnaire
On a scale to ten, how would you rate your piloting ability?:<2>
What are your skills?:
I specialize in the proper execution and successful carrying out of convoy operations across disputed/war zones. I am also capable of carrying out raids against convoys and orchestrating pirate operations where necessary. I am also capable of managing in-system security operations and working in tandem with planetary personnel and the Gallic Royal Police in maintaining the peace, stability and security of the Lyonnais System.
Furthermore, I possess an understanding of Sirian customs and culture and believe I can function well as an emissary, diplomat or ambassador attached to a GRN group, particularly in Kusari and Rheinland. I am capable of speaking fluent Rheinlander.
Describe the Kingdom's primary enemies:
Any and all entities who would seek to deny the Kingdom its rightful claim to the disputed territories in what is currently known as Liberty and Bretonnian space, any and all entities who would seek to undermine the authority of the DeFrance Monarchy and His Majesty, otherwise known as curs and plebs.
While on patrol, you encounter a small wing of Council fighters. They spot you, and begin threatening your life unless you disable your craft and surrender to their cause. You are outgunned and the nearest friendly patrol that would bring the tide to your favour is ten minutes away from you. What will you do?:
If only minor-ly outgunned, will cry merde and attempt a breakout or tactical retreat in the direction of said nearest friendly patrol. If majorly outgunned, will feign negotiation but stall to buy time until support arrives.
During one of your flights, you encounter an escape pod or a malfunctioning ship. The person inside is speaking in Sirian tongue and is asking for immediate help. If you wait any longer, the pilot will perish horribly. What will you do?:
The pilot will be tractored in and brought to the nearest Gallic station for immediate processing and interrogation (a la truth serum). If the pilot is found to be a pirate, privateer, brigand or free-booter, he/she will be sent back to sovereign Gallic space to work in the mines or asteroid fields. If the pilot is a military officer or of noble descent, Lady de Bordeleaux has a game:
Any and all prisoners of war not sent back to the mines for forced labor aboard the vessel are incentivised to cooperate or at the very least, behave appropriately and not cause trouble. Qualifiers will be sent back home to the territory of their state via drop-off at a neutral zone. This is a Machiavellian ploy of Sabine's, meant to turn PoW's against one another, since failure to 'qualify' means being jettisoned out the airlock without a suit.
Subtle methods of psychological warfare are also used, although this warrants a separate discussion entirely.
What is your S.K.Y.P.E. ID?:[None. Discord ID is HongKong97#2037]
Will you always remain rational and calm, follow orders, even if the situation could not be worse?:
Panicking is the stuff of lower class rabble. The truly cultured do not break formation - they only curse and yell elitist profanity at the presented threat.

Applicant Name: Marcel Broussard
Applicant Gender: Homme
Applicant Age: 5 novembre, 710 AGS
Health
Please go through your medical/fitness review and allow your reviewing doctor/instructor to fill this out for you.
Applicant Height: 181 cm.
Applicant Health (underline the correct):Passed / Special / Failure
Notes: There is evidence of past injuries consistent with repeated beatings and other abuse. These injuries appear consistent with the abuse Mr. Broussard reports to have suffered at the hands of his father.
Applicant Fitness (underline the correct):Passed / Requires Training / Failure
Notes: He's in good shape in spite of his past injuries. They are long since healed and will have no impact on his ability to serve. Mental examinations also came up clean. He appears to have moved on from his past and suffers no ill effects.
Applicant Description
Biography: Marcel Broussard was born in 710 AGS on New Paris. His mother died while he was young, leaving him to be raised by his alcoholic father. Because his father worked as an itinerant laborer, Marcel moved from place to place and did not receive a consistent education, nor make any lasting friendships. When his father passed away shortly after Marcel's 16th birthday, Marcel took up his father's job as an itinerant laborer, though he did manage to complete his secondary education.
Motivations: I'm mostly looking for good-paying permanent employment and better prospects for the future. I lack the qualifications for better paying, more technical work and the MRG is the best chance I have to make a better life for myself and any future children I might have.
Questionnaire
On a scale to ten, how would you rate your piloting ability?: 3
What are your skills?: No special skills, but my intelligence has been rated as slightly above average.
Describe the Kingdom's primary enemies:
Our Kingdom is in a war for its very survival against betrayers both outside Gallia and, even worse, within our own nation. Whether Sirian or Gallian, they threaten the survival of Gallia and its people, and it's up to all of us to do our part in the defense of our people, our nation, and His Majesty.
While on patrol, you encounter a small wing of Council fighters. They spot you, and begin threatening your life unless you disable your craft and surrender to their cause. You are outgunned and the nearest friendly patrol that would bring the tide to your favour is ten minutes away from you. What will you do?:
Evade to buy time until reinforcements arrived, then join the counterattack if I am able.
During one of your flights, you encounter an escape pod or a malfunctioning ship. The person inside is speaking in Sirian tongue and is asking for immediate help. If you wait any longer, the pilot will perish horribly. What will you do?:
Provide assistance and turn them over to my superiors at the earliest available opportunity. Fair treatment of enemy POWs will encourage our enemies to reciprocate and treat our own pilots fairly. Also, killing helpless or surrendering enemies encourages their comrades to fight to the death, making it that much harder (and bloodier) for us to achieve our objectives.
What is your S.K.Y.P.E. ID?:
glenn.thacker
Will you always remain rational and calm, follow orders, even if the situation could not be worse?:
Yes, without hesitation.
Your track record certainly is impressive for one so young. While this raised initial concerns during your background check, we've established it to be the mark of quality upbringing, something for which your late father should be commended. The extent of your skills and knowledge is also quite impressive. Rest assured that each and everyone of your claims will be thoroughly tested in the field. The Marine, including its 5G and Gendarmerie units, has great need of adaptable and resourceful elements such as yourself, but has little patience for idle boasters. Should you prove to be as useful as you claimed, a great and glorious career is ahead of you, one that will see you make a difference, bring glory to your name and justice to your father's. Dame Madeline, you have been ACCEPTED in the Marine Royale Gauloise as an Aspirant. Follow our procedures, illustrate yourself in the name of the Roi, perform good deeds and serve as an example, and your path will take you to the furthest heights.
Marcel Broussard,
You have done well to knock at our door. You have our sympathty and respect for enduring such a taxing upbringing and staying on the right side of the law. Several discrepancies have been reported during your background check, but nothing extraordinary for one with an errant past such as yourself. Your real life starts now : we hereby ACCEPT you in the ranks of the Marine, wherein you'll find a family, purpose and training. The good will, hard work and dedication you bring with you will be generously paid back in due time. Never forget : in Gallia, all will get what they deserve.

Applicant Description
Biography: I was born on planet Orleans. Papa et Maman farmed pigs. I went to school and failed my brevet. So enrolled in to Académie Militaire.
Motivations: The teachers said I should become a pig farmer or a soldier. I have a bad back and that's no good for farming pigs or marching. So I became a pilote bombardier. I like being a pilote because I can fly instead of walk. And I also like that I don't have to decide anything and just do what mon Commandant tells me.
Questionnaire
On a scale to ten, how would you rate your piloting ability?: 8
What are your skills?: I am a good single seat pilote de chasse et bombardier. Mon Commandant always said that others should follow commands as good as me. But nobody wants to be in a ship with me so I only fly snubs.
Describe the Kingdom's primary enemies:
Everyone who doesn't do what the King says is an enemy. They are marked red in my targeting computer so I know who to shoot. But the commands of mon Commandant are more important than the targeting computer!
While on patrol, you encounter a small wing of Council fighters. They spot you, and begin threatening your life unless you disable your craft and surrender to their cause. You are outgunned and the nearest friendly patrol that would bring the tide to your favour is ten minutes away from you. What will you do?:
I do what mon Commandant says. If there is no Commandant, I shoot the red marked ships. If there are no red marked ships I go look for mon Commandant so he can tell me what to do.
During one of your flights, you encounter an escape pod or a malfunctioning ship. The person inside is speaking in Sirian tongue and is asking for immediate help. If you wait any longer, the pilot will perish horribly. What will you do?:
I do what mon Commandant says. If I'm alone I tractor the pod and ask mon Commandant what to do when I see him.
What is your S.K.Y.P.E. ID?: Karlotta.Engel
Will you always remain rational and calm, follow orders, even if the situation could not be worse?: I will do what mon Commandant tells me!
