Junker Congress

[Zelot]

The Talarca Cruiser is a rare ship built by one of the private ship-building companies of Kusari. Origins of the Talarca remains unknown; some say it's based upon an early Kusari gunboat prototype, some assume that it was constructed by ancient alien race. Classified between gunboats and cruisers, the Talarca is an efficient and cheap capital ship, often used by freelancers of both lawful and unlawful alignment.

This is the infocard for the Talarca, I have noted a couple of things in it. It is a rare ship, meaning it would not be sold to just anyone, if that was the case, it would not be rare. Second, it is built by one of the private ship building companies of Kusari. This is vague so lets look at where it is sold. The first is Planet Honshu, where it is very very very OORP for a Junker to dock, the second is Chigoku, a Blood Dragon base. The Blood Dragons are neutral to the Junkers, and in my estimation, barely neutral. The Blood Dragons dont really care for outsiders either, preferring to keep the Outcasts (their Allies) at arms length, so I would assume they would trust the Junkers even less, the only group with anything even close to the RP to buy ships from the Blood Dragons are the GC. Another thing to note is that it is thought to be based off of a Kusari Gunboat prototype, indicating some connection to the Military, which again is very Nationalist, and would not allow it's ships to become freely sold all throughout Sirius.



Finally I would like to compare this with the Tiger Shark infocard;

The Tiger Shark is one of the best fighter ships currently available for civilians in the Border Worlds. This light fighter is relatively expensive for its class, but its unmatched power, agility, and reliability are well enough to compensate the price. Built by Rheinland corporations, the Tiger Shark is a popular choice for rich freelancers from all Sirius houses.

This ship says much the same as the Talarca, although it says directly it is used all over Siruis, but the admins have clearly stated the only factions that should be using it are Rhienland factions, much the same way, the only factions and people who should be using the Talarca are Kusari factions.



Meaning no, a Junker should not be using this ship without posting in the Special RP section of the forums.
