Quote:Hogosha keiretsu vessels licensed by Kusari local governments (daiymo's) as system inspectors are authorized to stop, scan and search any Junker (only) vessels in their licensed Kusari system (only) for contraband and to seize or destroy any suspicious cargo on said vessels. Additionally, Hogosha ships so authorized, may engage any Junker vessels firing, fleeing or refusing to surrender demanded cargo.
The reason for this would be to validate the rp that Junkers aren't welcome in Kusari and haven't been able to get established in Kusari without outright "banning" Junkers from Kusari space. It also explains the intense competition and enmity between Junkers and Hogosha. (In real life the Yakuza do things like this--especially in the past in smaller, traditional areas--and have often acted as an "auxilliary police force")
It makes sense that with the Bretonia conflict and Outcast/Corsair threat around Kusari, that the authorities would accept the 'help" of the Hogosha against an influence they don't wan in the first place without having to do it themselves.
My suggestion is that Hogosha can purchase an "inspector's license" that allows them to stop Junkers (only). Such licenses would be "per system"--i.e., one required for New Tokyo, a second for Kysushu, etc. Perhaps 5-10 million each?
Police would of course, not probe to closely into allegations of abuse by Junkers and would take a Hogosha inspector's word over a Junker's if there was no Kusari witness present and the Hogosha were licensed for that system.
Please consider it. I have rped this and it works really well. Typically, I have the Junkers drop any cargo they have in space and return "most" of it if it is legit though some will be mysteriously "vanish" (into my hold) as payment for my services.
So please give this consideration.
