I'm wondering if we can give the Junkers more of an edge. In addition to 'just' clearing debris fields to build ships and stations ... how about them finding a way to build scrappy jump gates and buggy trade lanes from old, discarded materials. Obviously these things won't look and work nearly as perfect as those from Ageira, but at least they would work in some capacity. Such a move turns the Junkers into true technology manufacturers for spaces and factions that Ageira won't deal with for all sorts of reasons.
