Greetings, Congress.

I am interested in joining the Junkers Congress. For far too long, I've sat and watched as my own people in Alberta and Ontario shift from side to side, scrounging at the scraps left by the Liberty Navy and Xenos. My own parents fell victim to the poverty the Alberta System faces...forced to settle on Freeport 14. I cannot abide this any longer. The stigma we as Junkers face is unfounded; as forces mount on every front, we find solace and contempt with no alliance on any side besides our own. And justly so! The Hogosha claim to be "protectors" of the Kusari people when in reality, they are thugs under hire by the "Big Industry" of Kusari space. That's the farce of the situation. It's too blended.

Our cause defines what it means to be a space-farer. We survive by our means, by what we excel at. We've turned surviving in space into a profitable enterprise; not because what we do pushes boundaries, but because we as Junkers understand the boundaries better than any other. While the blue-suits in Liberty Space consider us opportunistic salvage buzzards, we consider ourselves hardened survivors of what we've been given.

Cold hard steel floating is more to us than just that; it's life.

...and as a Junker for life, I think you appreciate this as much as I do.

Y. Zero
