It is an honor to present you with my services along with my crew and ship.
A few years back I had a small cruiser - was a bounty hunter with the core. Got blasted badly in a skirmish with Gallia, during the invasion of Leeds. I was working with the Brets at the time. Barely survived, limped back to the scrap fields. BHG had bigger problems than some unknown bounty hunter, so I was stranded and alone. Than this woman shows up, says: "it's a lifetime deal" - an old Salvager, supposed to be scrapped - no engines, barely working life support. I had a blasted cruiser - no life support, engines almost good as new. I thought: "why not?". We retrofitted the Salvager with the BHG engines, replaced mining arrays with my old turrets... The ship runs like a beauty now, all good as new. One problem though: the ID's. It seems the ship was in such a shape after a fight with the BHG over some damaged Order cruiser or something... Long story short - the ship is on the BHG's "most wanted" list and no ID changing makes up for it. That girl was the previous captain of the Croatoan - Lena Marylin, apparently she wasn't a junker per se - not a part of the Congress, and wanted to get Junker's attention by giving them the remains of that Order ship.
Anyway - that's where I stand. A good ship, a bounty on my head, a good partner to work with.
Joining the Congress presents me with an opportunity - to get a new life. One unbound by shackles of modern society. A life of a free man, not running after a bounty but a man who can sit back and enjoy life. That's what I want to do. If I can help the Congress by doing so - it's even better.
I'm currently looking for a sponsor and am looking forward to meeting more of you in the future.
If anybody is willing to help me join the congress, you are welcome to communicate with me by any means.
May the skies be safe for the junkers.
Ron Novak
former commander of the BHG Core, now unemployed.
