Quote:502352 - (Bourg-en-Bresse Space Port Infocard, Junker) The largest Junker installation in Gallia, Bourg-en-Bresse is often considered the center of their operations in Gallia and even in all known space of Sirius. It's only partially true, since Junker leaders prefer to stay on New Paris in luxury and safety. However, this space port is the largest Junker installation currently in existence, and certainly serves as the headquarters for all their activities in the Gallic Border Worlds. Built in 688-690 A.S,. after their previous base in Burgundy, Bourbon, was overtaken by Unione Corse, Bourg-en-Bresse has tough armor and advanced weapon systems, but enjoy relative safety since all factions in Gallia, lawful and unlawful, prefer to maintain neutral relations with the Junkers. Only exception are the Maquis, who were most probably encouraged to start a war against Junkers by the Council after the High Command became aware of the Junkers' espionage network established in Liberty, Bretonia, and Rheinland.
Quote:504933 - (Junker) We have somewhat complicated relationships with the other criminal groups. The war with the Corse is long over, and we do business in some areas, but we hardly ever operate together. Our relations with the Maquis has helped us to establish a profitable partnership with The Council who have since come to rely on the supplies which we smuggle through the Royal Navy blockades.
Yeah, I don't think some of these infocards were thought out well. But considering "If someone is suspected of actively working for the Crown- even so much as organizing aid packages for soldiers- they could be targeted by the Maquis." - taken from the wiki - and also, unlawful groups being aware of Junkers' spying work, I think it would be fair to say the Maquis don't like Junkers at all.
But yeah, shooting those up sneakily is fair game of course - as long as you keep them guessing (iRP) as to who's done that*, so that you wouldn't face another Bourbon Base scenario.
I wish you much luck with this, the Gallic Junkers might just bring some more life and another dimension to Gallia. And I hope my random thoughts on the matter helped at least a tiny bit.
*like I said, Junkers are a diverse species and Corse/Brigands probably wouldn't retaliate on a bigger scale as long as the incidents aren't too many and too organised. The second you start hunting anyone openly is when the real trouble would start. IMO
