Junkers....

[Rudo]

One would like to know what response should be taken when a Junker (guard) IDed cruiser encounters a Hogosha in a Big Dragon (or whatever it's called now). Is the Hogosha considered a "trader" or a "hostile"?

A trader. You do NOT attack trade ships in anything bigger than a gunboat. No exceptions whatsoever.

As a Junker I've gotten into my good share of fights. You just have to know where to find the right sort of trouble.

A Junker Cruiser wrecking the place is a bad idea in any way, shape or form though. We had a couple cruisers in the Congress, and got rid of most (maybe all) of them when it became clear there was just no use for the things considering what we do. It also sets a bad example for every other Junker out there.


About Junkers and piracy: we do pirate. The fact that people don't hear much about it is testament to how rarely we do it, and how subtly it's done when we do.
