One romour that Dab put up shows that the Marqius have a trading relation with Gallic Junkers so I'm not inclined to put them as At War stance.
Gallic Junkers will not be allying with any Gallic Faction. Not now not in the future. They just are nice to Gallic Lawfulls and Corperations(nice to the Loyalist Corperations) but that doesn't mean that Gallic royal Navy has to act nice to them, they can and will hopefully will continue to act indifferently to them. (Nuetral) Thats why all other Gallic Factions will treat Gallic Junkers as a Nuetral party or worse which they all do. That doesn't dictate that I should. But does dictate alliances which Gallic Junkers have no allies, for which I will be planning to roleplay gaining some from a couple Sirian Factions that are likely to be beneficial to them, and not affect there current relations.
And about powergaming I know better. I'm not a fool. But I understan where you come from, but I will say this now when they do shoot us for sport we will shoot/pirate them for sport as is allowed by the ID.
