Well I was scrappin' as usual today when I had the pleasure of strikin' up a conversation with the captain of the ship known as the Salvage. Apparently he's a Congressman. Our little rag-chewin' got me thinkin' I oughtta throw my hat in the ring to do my civic duty and advance the Junker cause and what have you.
He said he'd be amenable to endorsin' my application so you can go ahead and ask 'im if you're so inclined.
A bit about m'self...
My crew and I pilot a Salvage Frigate. We generally make a livin' from hauling scrap to the Corsairs. I recently expanded my business by purchasing a transport ship and hiring a pilot to run missions in Liberty and Rheinland. But the only ship I'm interested in identifying with the Congress at the moment is the one that I myself pilot, the Salvage Frigate known as Savage.Salvage.
My crew and I mostly haul scrap but have extensive experience in hauling goods both legal and otherwise, harvesting Nomads, running diversions, and have dabbled in VIP and base protection. We maintain positive, working relationships with both the Red Hessians and the Corsairs, and are not currently wanted by any faction.
If you want the longer story, here it is:
My second in command and I are veterans of the right but losing side of a certain conflict which is best left unnamed. Well, we didn't feel like stickin' around and dyin' so we headed for the nearest Junker base, lookin' for work for whoever would take us.
We linked up with an old Junker pilot who made a livin' haulin' scrap on his ev'n-more-beat-up-'n-normal Frigate, and he taught us the basics of scrappin'. Sadly, all those years of radioactive waste caught up with 'im 'n' he started down the road to kick-the-bucket town. Now we understood that the usual way of things in such a situation is for the old man to pass down the ship to his progeny. But the poor ol' man didn't have any kids, we reckon on account o' the radiation killin' 'is 'nads before he even got married (his wife had died of liver failure from drinkin' many years before we met 'im). He told us he wanted us to have the ship, so long as we promised to guard it with our lives. After all, we knew it's ins 'n' outs better 'n anyone else and like most Frigates it has ins 'n' outs unique to that ship. So ever since the old man died we've been running missions, haulin' scrap, and generally just tryin' to make a living out in the edge worlds. I hope that as a Congressman I can protect the interests of my fellow Junkers.
