Imperial Navy Personnel Record
From Emperor's Hammer Encyclopaedia Imperia
The Imperial Navy Personnel Record, colloqiually known and abbreviated as the INPR, is a short biography that each pilot in the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps fills out upon their joining. It serves as something of an outward facing profile of the pilot, a synopsis of their history and disposition.
Publically viewable to all pilots, the INPR miniature biography focuses on primarily two major parts of each pilot.
- First, the beginning questions of an INPR asks for details about the pilot's identity and history. Below are the first questions on the Imperial Navy Personnel Record that fall into this category and a brief explanation about each.
- Gender?
- This open-response question acknowledges the uniqueness of identity between individuals and species and asks to be filled out to prevent errors and awkward social blunders.
- Species?
- The galaxy is a wide place, and sometimes people might not have seen a certain type of organism before. In addition, it provides information if you are quickly trying to locate a pilot to introduce yourself for the first time.
- Date of Birth?
- How else could one hold a birthday party (or species/societal equivalent) without this information?
- Place of Birth?
- Homeworlds are things that sometimes pilots have in common and wouldn't know from first impression, especially if the planet plays host to several species. This knowledge helps build bonds and make connections.
- Marital Status?
- Respecting boundaries and clarifying availability of relationships helps maintain smooth social functions, critical for a highly effective military environment.
- Family?
- More opportunity for bonding and connection over similar experiences.
- Social Status?
- See above.
- Significant Events of Your Youth?
- Understanding someone's past helps you understand their motivations. This knoweldge of fundamental parts of their upbringing and past helps illustrate their character more than anything.
- Significant Events of Your Adulthood?
- See above.
- Tragedies in Your Life?
- See above.
- Previous Occupations?
- Pilots can pick up unique skillsets and abilities from a variety of other jobs, all of which help inform any reader of an INPR more about the pilot.
- Gender?
- After these more factual and biographical questions, the INPR turns to asking more about characteristics of the pilot, asking questions about outlooks, likes and dislikes. These can be viewed below.
- General Alignment and Attitude?
- Hobbies?
- Phobias and Allergies?
- Your View of the Empire and the Emperor's Hammer?
- Your Reason for Enlisting in the Emperor's Hammer?
The INPR then closes with an opportunity for other general comments, anything that wouldn't be caught in one of the previous questions that the autobiographical author deems important.
