Will you a daring smuggler ferrying contraband around the houses for credits? Will you loot credits and cargo from unfortunates outside of house space away from lawful eyes? Are you an intrepid Xenos or Hogosha hunter? Or will you incorporate all four playstyles into your roleplay?
One of the biggest benefits of being a Junker is your quasi-lawful status. You have an extremely generous set of diplomatic relations, which gives the Junker ID a lot of freedom within the houses. Your only real enemies are Hogosha and Xenos, which you can actually hunt EVERYWHERE in Sirius when you feel like it. Aside from that, it'll be rare for you to find enemies within Liberty, Bretonia and Rheinland. Kusari dislikes Junkers, due to the large Hogosha influence within the house. If you venture to Kusari as a Junker, you'll most likely get asked to leave. In Gallia you don't have many enemies, but not many friends either.
But you don't always have to play by the book. Snitching on non-Junker ID'd smugglers or involving yourself in blackmailing others are also fun Junker activities. The Junker ID allows for a lot of experimentation with your roleplay.
Still, you could scratch all that and simply play a Junker trader hauling ore and legal goods. Not the most interesting way to play the ID, but it's your choice. Personally I don't encourage it.
