The Junkers don't need you, they buy the artifacts from Corsairs directly. The only reason Hogosha and Corsairs ever needed a middleman is because they never had a good place to trade merchandise - neither faction used to have holdings in the Sigmas. That is why they used the GMG, and when those became inconvenient, they switched to OSC. But now times have changes, and both Hogosha and Corsairs have plenty of bases to move artifacts directly between one another. OSC is redundant now.
Also, the suggestion of the Bundschuh (rabid enemies of Corsairs' Rheinland ally and artifact fencers, the Unioners) and LWB as potential alternatives make me wonder if you've ever read a single infocard in this game.
