I tend to agree with the highlighted portion here.
But, if the Junkers are such great scrappers, and (though they ARE the Mafia) in theory spend all this time cleaning up battlefields, How is it they couldn't cobble together a psuedo-battlecruiser?
Much like the Salvager is a GB/Transport mix - couldn't Junkers make a Transport/BC mix?
Maybe something that is used for salvaging and defending larger wrecks?
Like a larger Salvager that could mount, say half the compliment of ordnance that a normal BC would?
I've always imagined something like a horseshoe crab, that hovered over large wrecks with cranes and claw-arms dangling down below to tear apart wrecks, and big enough guns on the top to ward off predators.
And a bit of armor too - something the Junker ships are woefully short on, yet they salvage megatons of it daily.
