1. What is your IGN? (In Game Name) : Field 2. What Regiment are you applying for? Nova 3. Why do you want to be a commander of this branch? I want to be a Vice Commander for Nova Troopers because I believe I have the capacity to do amazing work within Nova. I've been with the regiment for quite a good amount of time. I've been here for Nova through thick and thin, and I will always remain with Nova, as its the regiment I joined when I first came to the server. Nova has helped me learn the community, learn the rules, regulations, what is expected of a trooper among Gaminglight, and much more. When I first joined Nova, I was brought in as a private, and trusted to rise to the rank of Sergeant. From that moment on I made it my mission to uphold the expectations of Nova to its core. During my NCO period, Vice Commanders Suns and Kio helped me understand the expectations of Nova, and how they wanted to shape it in the future. They saw me capable enough to push me to officer, despite how reluctant I was. When I became an officer, I had very little idea as to what I was doing, what was expected of me, and so on. However they understood this, and instead of being strict, harsh and unforgiving, they understood and that personality, is one that I believe I obtained through them. I had a wonderful time growing through Nova and with its command. Seeing a position open, it makes me want to step into their shoes, and help create the next generation of Nova troopers. I was here from the start, when Nova was recovering from a very bad period, and as previously stated, I know what is expected of Nova. I want to carry on that plan that Suns, Kio, and Galaxy want to offer to this regiment, and let it truly prosper into what it was designed to be. 4. How much game time do you have on the server? 306 Hours, 64 Minutes. (At time of application) 5. What is the Main Purpose of a commander for a branch? The purpose of a commander is to oversee its regiment, make critical changes to its policy, and procedures, to ensure that all troopers are able to conduct themselves in a professional but entertaining manner. The position is to provide its regiment what expectations are, to be able to provide settlement to any conflict, and work among high command to create new pathways to success for their troopers. Commanders utilize mostly administration work, while administering command on the battlefield, and through passive moments aboard imperial destroyers, or planet side at imperial outposts, or operations facilities. They are there to create a fun environment for its personnel yet while continuing to create the best image for their regiment. Boiling down to what it is for Nova, its about making the final outcome, the best outcome. Nova has come a far length, and its all provided credit to how hard regimental command has fought for it. Change begins with troopers, but is carried out through Command. They are responsible for settling internal disputes, regimental disputes, ensuring the officers are doing their part to properly oversee and conduct Nova on the field yet on imperial territory as proficient, and to make the best possible surroundings and environment for new troopers to feel welcome, and willing to stay, put in the work and provide for the regiment. 6. Why should we trust you to be a commander? : I'd like to be entrusted with the Vice Commander position for a lengthy amount of reasons, one of which is due to the length of my time in Nova, which has spanned from the worst moments, into the best. I joined when it would only be myself, and maybe one or two NCO's, then all of Command. I had thoughts of leaving the regiment, however Command promised things would get better. I put in the work, the tryouts, the trainings, gave a lot of my time to Nova to see it prosper. And as promised, it did. We went from 1-3 Nova on at a time during peak activity periods, all the way between 7-12 Nova personnel on at a time before peak activity periods would even hit. We went from one or two trainees per tryout to around four to six. I find that an astonishing jump. As I stated in question 3, I have the motivation to see Nova through to the very end, to reach where others don't believe its capable of reaching. It's all due to my past experience with Command. I see command as an opportunity to grow as an individual, and provide for the regiment. It assists me with understanding what it takes, to be there for everybody. I see what Nova is capable of now, serving alongside them all the way to leading them through combat. They have potential and I'd like to be able to be trusted enough to provide more for the troopers, as that is only what they deserve. 7. How often can you be Online? : Most likely every day, if not every other day. 3-8 hours. I am always on-call (able to contact) through discord at almost every hour of the day. 8. Do you have any Warnings? (What for?) : I have no warnings, with intent on keeping it that way.

Officer Application You must be SFC+ to apply for Officer Officer Application What is your in game name? Field What is your SteamID? STEAM_0:0:172416049 What is your current rank? Master Sergeant How long have you been in Nova? Est. 02/15/2022 (Approx. 5 days) How will you assist command with this rank? I believe as a 2nd Lieutenant I can introduce a new aspect to being an Officer. One that approaches a more friendly attitude, and a more trustworthy figure towards lower enlisted. Many lower enlisted will often go to Non-Commissioned Officers who sometimes don't have the answers, or aren't confident in the response they get back, however don't want to bring the attention to a commissioned officer. My goal to help command as an officer is to bridge the gap between Officer and Enlisted in Nova Troopers. Out of the very short time I have been apart of GamingLight and Nova, I have been told I am a very approachable person. I like to use my attributes to benefit towards my future in the regiment, and I believe that with Nova growing from its ashes, it's imperative that there is an officer within the ranks who is relatable for the NCO's and enlisted. Why do you want to become an Officer? Becoming an Officer is something I have been looking forward to so I can be able to expand my view on leadership, and my capabilities in how I can help around the regiment. From what I've seen in my time in Nova, its rebirth means that it is in dire need of Officers, and gradually Non-Commissioned Officers. I would like to be one of the first in the wave of NCO's to reach officer to become a figure for incoming NCO's. Showing that seniority can be irrelevant as long as you prove you're determined enough and you hold the capabilities to operate in the rank you're provided an opportunity in. I see problems regarding moral as people gradually get promoted. When most people join a regiment they don't expect to hit Sergeant for a while inside the regiment. My primary objective is to help be an icon for lower enlisted, and NCO's. As well as being able to provide an opinion for the regiment as a whole to see its future become more prosperous. Overall the interest in the Officer position comes at the delight and success of others, and less for myself. Do you have any experience leading / being an Officer? Years ago I use to play on many smaller StarWarsRP servers, achieving High Command positions, my most notable were Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, and Shock Commander Fox. In terms of higher player count communities, my only experience in an officer position is with IcefuseNetworks. I stood at the position of 2nd Lieutenant, up for 1st Lieutenant before I got caught up in a purge that seen majority of the Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and two Command members completely removed and stripped of rank to Corporal. What is the purpose/duty of an Officer? The purpose and duties of a Commissioned Officer are to lead the soldiers in the proper direction, and to overview the bigger picture. They deal with the regiment as a whole, and oversee its success, failures and makes room for improvement among its personnel. What separates the positions between Non-Commissioned Officers and Commissioned Officers is that NCO's are present to insure one-on-one command with its personnel. In contrary, CO's are focused on the unit as a whole, instead of the one individual. Because there are less CO's than NCO's, the Commissioned Officers attention can not be diverted to one individual problem for too long, or else he/she will miss the bigger picture. Commissioned Officers pay attention to the overall performance of its personnel so Command may plan its future in operations, protocol, and regulations. Each position splits responsibility evenly among one another to be able to benefit everyone to perform at a maximum capacity with minimal burnout / risk. What qualifies you to be an officer? I believe what qualifies me to a Commissioned Officer position would be my clean record, and unbias views. An elaboration would be that I am so fresh to the community itself, that I have not met anyone to make any personal connections / ties with to be able to benefit one individual by being promoted. It opts out the possibility of corruption in nearly any attribute by terms of falsifying promotions, or recommendations. Another attribute that qualifies me is that I have a spotless record. I have no interventions with staff of being reported, I have only reported other players. I have never had a negative interaction with a gamemaster, moderator, administrator or standard player. No complaints have been submitted against my name ever since I joined the community, and apparently majority of the people I've spoken to and I'm aware of have nothing bad to say about me. This attribute doubles back to my response of 'Why do you want to become an Officer'. My spotless record only makes my beneficial situation more of an iconic reason to move up and motivate others to get promoted and advance their career into Non-Commissioned Officers and Commissioned Officers. It goes to show as physical evidence that despite who you are, as long as you keep your nose clean, you can achieve remarkable things. within a division and your possibilities don't end because you're new. My objective and what qualifies me is that I want to let others know that opportunities don't end, they just get limited to what you set it to. Do you understand you will be on a 1-2 week trial period? I do.
