Hello, I've noticed that this recruitment form is deeply outdated, so I tweaked/removed a few questions to make it up to date with today's state of Discovery.
Name: Alice Reyes.
Age: 31.
Birthday and Birthplace: 03-06-803, Leeds.
Biography: Half bretonian by mother and libertonian by father, Reyes was raised into a working-class family in one of the industrial suburbs of Leeds, and grew to become a prodigious yet temperamental woman. By the time the Royalist Gallia reached Leeds in their Grand Invasion of Bretonia, her father which was an engineer contractor for Bowex, got a visa approved for temporary relocation on New London, until the Reyes migrated to the newly established world of Sprague in 818.
Five years after settling on Sprague, Alice was offered a career degree fund by Bowex to work for the company, she ended accepting the offer after her father's persistence. Three years after that, she graduated on basic small craft flight, and another four years later she graduated on an engineering and maintenance degree for civilian-grade small craft. That same year however her father died on an accident in Leicester which allegedly was due to bad safety practice, Bowex offered her to solve the dispute through arbitration, Alice had no choice but to take it, and after a hefty compensation she resigned from her contract with the company, and became an independent escort and mechanic.
Eventually she finished having contacts with certain Junker figures on the Zoner freeports which were surprised by her skill repertoire, and eventually reached an agreement with the crew of Invergordon, she's been living on the Independent and Border Worlds ever since.
How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: No way. It took me almost a year to get a busted Prosec' running! And that was with two colleagues that helped me with tests and calibration, it'd be a waste of time to try to fix a frigate all by myself. Servicing a salvager requires a whole crew, let alone repairing it.
How good are you at selling scrap to a stranger?: I'm less on the business of bargains and more on the business of flying, shooting and repairing stuff, I'll let the haggling to the boys on land.
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: The right answer is that I never get caught, and I likely never will. However if I was caught the smartest thing to do is comply and take the loss, it's my fault for not doing my job better. Pirates however can be persuaded when you wave a few bucks their way.
What ships do you already own?: Refitted Prosecutor-class Very Heavy Fighter, and a Condor-class gunship... Whenever I have enough bucks to get the ship moving... I used to have CTE line escort ships but they either were damaged beyond repair or I sold them, I can fly most small stuff, within reason, of course.

Grew up following around my Dad who was a freelance Engine Mechanic taking contracts on Corpo stations jumping around Sirius from job to job. As a kid I used to apart components learning how they worked putting them back together. Tweaking things here and there as I grew into adolescence I kept modifying and tweaking powerplants for more and more speed. I struck out on my own getting a job maintaining Some Bowex Execs Arrow fleet traveling with him in on his lavish trips seeing most of the Border systems arm deep in grease making sure he finished first when he went out racing with his buddies. Until the accident...He lent one of my modified Arrows to his friend...He pushed it to hard. The reactor went Critical he atomized a Click from the finish line. My boss knew it wasn't my fault that his friend had too much to be flying. But he couldn't have me around anymore his friend was some big shot back in Bretonia with connections in the BHG. So he Dropped me off on Trafalgar with a new life I started fixing engines fixing old repairs on the cobbled together CSFs of the scrap fleet. Eventually I saved up enough to buy my own. Scrapping the wrecks of the Gallic war. Me and my compatriots eventually started a lucrative weapon trading business with the Dubliners Pulling together different hulls and some friends I we decided venture out in our cobbled together Salvager "The Wanderer" salvaging and smuggling until we ran across someone from the Congress. The Idea intrigued us an organization that could protect us as conflicts escalated around us ensuring greater prosperity for all Junkers.
We expect new recruits to already join with some basic piloting formation or training. However, flying a ship and being able to defend yourself in one are like day and night. Do you have combat experience in escort vessles or gunships?: I've been in a few Hairy situations in my time with the Junkers I have some hours in my Personal Recycler as Well as some Narrow Escapes on my Salvager
Space ops' aren't everything, we do have a place for those more inclined with public and business relations as well. Do you consider yourself a good haggler? Good with speeches?: I like to barter. I make sure no one feels burned by my deals I come away happy they do too. But I wont be rolled over.
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: I would try to grease the right palms call the right friends, If that doesn't work I'm leaving in one piece whether they do is their decision.
What ships do you already own?: Salvager "The Wanderer" and a Recycler

Birthday and Birthplace: A fog filled hamlet on Gran Canaria, or so the story goes.
Biography: Constance Montcroixe dwells in the shadows of time, haunting recent history, her story unfolds like a web forever entwined in the destiny of Sitius.
Constance's journey begins in a fog-veiled hamlet on the once beautiful planet of Gran Canaria, a place where the line between reality and myth blurred. It was whispered that she was the progeny of a forbidden union between an itinerant Sirian totter and a Gallic noblewoman, a harbinger of the convergence of cultures. Her parents, fearing for her safety, concealed her true nature from the world, nurturing her with love and compassion.
Her subsequent adventures upon reaching adulthood were driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure leading her on a journey across the universe, amassing a wealth of experience and wisdom. As Constance matured, she adopted a unique philosophy — a delicate balance between the light and the dark. Refusing to fall prey to the despots around every corner she embraced her striking persona and persuasive charms, using her abilities protected herself from the malevolent forces that lurked in space.
She has walked in shadows, thwarting the nefarious plots of rogues, villains, dandies and businessmen alike. Constance's allure and ethereal beauty often enticed her enemies into complacency, only to reveal her true strength when her adversaries least expected it. In the modern world, post Gran Canaria's troubles Constance has adapted to ever-changing times. Unnoticed by the masses, she used her skills in finance and technology to subtly influence her bank balances, ensuring that the life she has grown accustomed to has a long future.
Recently the ephemeral nature of many relationships have served as a constant reminder of her own mortality, maybe now is the time to set larger balls rolling, aim for larger changes in the often toxic world we find ourselves in.
We expect new recruits to already join with some basic piloting formation or training. However, flying a ship and being able to defend yourself in one are like day and night. Do you have combat experience in escort vessles or gunships?: I do not go looking for trouble preferring to use my charming personality but I am able to handle problems if they cross my salvagers flight path.
Space ops' aren't everything, we do have a place for those more inclined with public and business relations as well. Do you consider yourself a good haggler? Good with speeches?: Discussing terms and conditions is essential to help the world go round, doing it so all think they have a bargain has never posed a serious problem for my charm and outward demeanor.
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: In the unlikely event its, charm, charm, more charm and some good old fashioned bartering.
What ships do you already own?: Actively, all I need, a Junker Salvage Frigate (although I do have a Border Worlds Transport mothballed)

Birthday and Birthplace: Planet Manhattan i hope, Not sure my birthday but the orpanage says they found me in the 29th day of april year 794
Biography:
I was born on Planet Manhattan, one of the wealthiest and most influential planets in the Liberty sector, but my story took a different path. I’ve been an orphan for as long as I can remember, abandoned at a young age with no memories of my parents or what happened to them. The sprawling metropolis of Manhattan was my playground and my battleground, a place where the skyscrapers reach into the clouds, and the streets are teeming with the good, the bad, and everything in between.
The orphanage where I grew up was a staterun facility hidden away in a rough part of the city. Life there was hard; I quickly learned that nothing was ever given freely, and I had to fight for every scrap. As a child, I became a survivor, running with street gangs and hustling to get by. The other kids started calling me "KimiBoi," a name that stuck with me as I grew.
By the time I was a teenager, I had seen enough of Manhattan’s underbelly to know that my future wasn’t on the planet's surface. I yearned for the stars, for freedom, and for a chance to carve my own path. At first, I thought freelancing was the answer. I took whatever jobs I could find smuggling, courier work, even a bit of bounty hunting. But it wasn’t enough. The credits were low, the risks were high, and I felt like I was just another cog in a giant machine.
That’s when I started hearing about the Junkers Congress. A faction of salvagers, traders, and outcasts who made their living on the fringes of society, collecting scrap, trading on the black market, and finding value in what others discarded. They had their own code, their own way of doing things, and they were free from the rules of the great houses. It sounded like my kind of people.
So, I decided that freelancing wasn’t the way for me. I wanted something more, a place where I belonged, where I could make my mark and build something for myself. I’m working my way up now, hoping to earn my place among the Junkers Congress. It won’t be easy, but I know how to scrap, I know how to survive, and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.
One way or another, I’m going to find my place in this universe. And maybe, just maybe, the Junkers Congress is where I truly belong.
We expect new recruits to already join with some basic piloting formation or training. However, flying a ship and being able to defend yourself in one are like day and night. Do you have combat experience in escort vessles or gunships?:
My combat experience is mostly bounty hunting
Space ops' aren't everything, we do have a place for those more inclined with public and business relations as well. Do you consider yourself a good haggler? Good with speeches?:
not really good with words
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: If I get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement, I’d try to stay calm and play it smart. First, I’d gauge their intentions. Are they looking for a bribe, or are they strictly by the book? If they’re open to negotiation, I might offer them a cut of the profits or some other form of “incentive” to look the other way. If they seem like the type who won’t budge, I’d try to spin a story, maybe I’m just an honest trader who’s been set up, or I didn’t know what was in my cargo.
If I’m stopped by a bandit while smuggling, it depends on the situation. If they’re just looking for a quick score, I might be willing to hand over some goods to avoid a fight, better to lose a bit of profit than my life. But if they seem more intent on taking everything, including my ship, then I’d assess whether I can talk my way out of it or if it's time to put my combat skills to the test. I’d be ready to fight back if I think I’ve got the upper hand, but sometimes the best option is to cut my losses and run. After all, you can’t make credits if you’re dead.
What ships do you already own?: The Pilgrim Liner
