There are very nice rumors about Junkers in Gallia.
Police:
Quote:The Junkers are not exactly pirates, although they are heavily involved in the Gallic black market. Neither the government officials nor the pirates trust them completely, but their intermediate position grants them many benefits that they could never gain if they were allied with any one particular side.
EFL:
Quote:The Junkers sometimes help us against other pirate groups, for example, warning us about an ambush. I was once flying on a transport and saw our captain handing over a case to a Junker representative. Then we changed course. I don't even want to think what could have happened if the Junker wasn't there to warn us.
Brigands:
Quote:The Junkers are shady characters with whom we sometimes trade and also occasionally kill for sport. Still, they have no choice but to trade with us. No one else has the capability to smuggle goods into the dangerous areas of Gallia like we do.
Council :
Quote:The Junkers are a faction trusted by no one, yet needed by everyone. By lawfuls, to gain information on pirates; by pirates, to gain information and goods from lawfuls; and even by us, to support our economy that has become an integral part of the Gallic black market.
Quote:We never had much information about what was happening outside Gallia to begin with. We could only buy the occasional pieces of data delivered by Junker agents, for a very high price. Our knowledge of the other Houses is very patchy and incomplete at best, while our government knows considerably more, as they can afford the high prices the Junkers demand for their information.
They all make business with Junkers, so Junkers can land on their bases.
Maguis:
Quote:I hear rumours that the Junkers proved to be traitors who sold information on Sirius to our government. I'm not surprised at all. The Junkers are scum who should have been exterminated a long time ago.
