To address the topic: I have been away from Gelfiven VIII for almost 15 years, but I do remember it.
That is interesting Ms. Hegririn. I spent spent a good five years at the Native Freshfood school orbiting Gelfiven IX - IV. Though I never went planet side the whole time.
As for my home, I never really had one though there are several places that can fit the concept pretty well.
In short:
- The Veszith Wreathe-class trading ship: Cramped but I enjoyed being around my family.
- Hjoramold III Joint Harvest Station: Didn't spend too much consecutive time there but this is where my family goes often enough. The monthly parties are great, Half of the station is Ammarrian controlled though. No one goes to that side. (Closest thing to a stable home I had was here)
- Hrokkur VI-IX Vherokior Academy: Teachers there are strict and the station is not as well funded as the high-sec equivalent is but it was cheaper and I made friends there. GREAT RESTAURANT.
- Gelfivin IX-IV: The stations were nice but I spent most of my time huddled over paperwork and exams or in the docking bay which was nicely organized for my instruction. And later, all I ever really saw was my quarters for sleep.
Longer Explanation:
I was born in transit on a civilian Wreath class trading ship called The Veszith. Never really had parents as the one that bore me left on the next station that The Veszith docked at. To this day I still don't really know why she left or who she was but that's never bothered me, my family is my clan aboard the ship.
The crew of the The Veszith is ever changing but we mostly have crewed by members of the sister Vherokior clans: Grey, Greyjorrin, and Kaldagrey. (I've been told by both Kaldagrey and Grey clan members that each is the parent clan but I don't know the truth of it (Grey obviously  )) I was named Victalei in the same clan of the Captain: Torrin Grey. I spent most of my early childhood aboard The Veszith schooled by the the teacher aboard along with other family kids of the ship or were in transit between stations.
The Veszith was mostly employed in courier and trading jobs between stations with one of our biggest employers being Native Freshfoods. We didn't usually have enough to purchase enough for temp housing at the stations so even when docked, most of us stayed on the ship with the exception of the Joint Harvesting station at Hjoramold III where we have a block of station side quarters contracted out to the Veszith in the Republic district of the station so many trading trips ended here. We didn't spend too much time overall here but overall life there was pretty meh. There is still a pretty heavy Amarrian presence in Hjoramold in general but the Hjoramold III station has a pretty large Matari district including one of the East-side gardens. No one really went to the slaver side of the station and no slavers came over to our side so it's a little odd of a situation. There's a monthly celebration held. I think it's for the continued profit of those in employment or something. I don't know, everyone attends for the company and the drinks ^.^.
Anyway I spent most of my early childhood on The Veszith. Once I went through Voluval and got the Fjaikolj Point mark the captain started to tutor me in captaining a ship for about a couple years and served as the second-in-comand's assistant at which point my named changed to Victoria to honour my new path in following Captain Torrin's footsteps. After that I was accepted to start secondary schooling at the Vherokior Academy at Hrokkur VI -IX which was a quarter funded by the Grey clan and the rest by Native Freshfoods after I agreed to an employment term at the conclusion of my schooling.
From there I spent in study at Hrokkur VI-IX which had this AMAZING restaurant that served this seaweed dish (that I now make for the Hjoramold parties ^.^). Not too important, just thought I'd reccomend that resteraunt if you ever find yourselves in the area. Other than that I spent my off times serving on The Veszith so didn't really get a chance get used to living there before finishing my schooling at the Native Freshfoods under the capsuleer program under a Vherokior general scholarship recommendation from Miss Eng Hrelst. Didn't really know why she helped but it meant the relief of the financial burden was lifted off of the Grey clan. There I spent five more years in study at the school at Gelfiven IX-IV and five more years mainly in transit between the Gelfiven V Werehouse and the Gulfonodi Plantations under a tutorship/internship program so never really had a chance to settle into my Gelfiven IX-IV quarters. And from there there was just the graduation and capsuleer ceremonies and final classes at Matar.
Sorry for the long post but it's a little hard to separate what I would consider my childhood home(s) planet/station/ship and what they were like ^.^. I've never really been in one place for long. |

Compared to people that have posted so far anyway.
I would contest that no history is boring. Even in an otherwise unremarkable set of routines you will still find stories of friendships gained and lost, little hidey holes that no one else knows about, that day that you caught your first fish, or that one time that you slept in and got scolded by an adult for being late to whatever.
There's always something interesting about history and there's always a story to tell and someone to hear it :) |
