Junkers...

[carlabrams]

Junkers are everyone's friends.
And everyone's enemy.

Anyone can attack a Junker and justify it somehow within RP.

Bounty hunter kills Junker, he may not be very welcome on Junker bases from then on.
Pirate kills Junker, he may not be very welcome on Junker bases from then on.

Essentially it's this. Junkers are power players in a sense. If a small group or individual attacks the Junkers, they can steamroll him by making him unwelcome nearly everywhere or just attack him.
If a larger group does it, they have an issue.
Junkers are semi-lawful. That means lawful and unlawful, mixed. You can attack them from any side but beware of the Roleplay consequences.

I'm sorry, I had to laugh at that. Bounty Hunters aren't welcome at ANY Junker bases, regardless of the circumstances. By the time you get the basic Bounty Hunter IFF, you're already red to Junkers. I think a large part of that has to do with the 'history' of most Bounty Hunters, because many Hunters have come from ... less than stellar backgrounds, is the polite way of phrasing it.
