J Smugg,
Now, you sound like a man I'd like to sit and have a few rounds with at Rochester. With luck we will, make your way to Puerto Rico and we'll get your Salvager kitted out with all the newest bells and whistles you need as a Congressmen. Also, I am getting reports that of your own fruition you're already helping us over at Madrid. Damn the world needs more people like you.
Welcome to The Congress captain,
Move on over to Puerto Rico and visit Arbiter Rick Tiltman at the Ruff Tuff bar on the Vieques Shipyard to get your ship fitted with the proper equipment,
Julia.Karanfil.
At this time we most regrettably must deny your application, thank you for your efforts and stay safe out in those scrap fields.
Adam,
You're application is certainly intriguing, under perfectly normal circumstances we'd deny you on the principle that you don't have a last name and you called our ship a "Scavenger" not a "Salvager". However That being said You certainly seem to know your stuff. Further more I am receiving reports you have, of your own fruition, jumped in and aided us on the Madrid Project. Do don't find many people in this world like that, least of all in this line of work. Therefore I am proud to say:
Welcome to The Congress captain,
Move on over to Puerto Rico and visit Arbiter Rick Tiltman at the Ruff Tuff bar on the Vieques Shipyard to get your ship fitted with the proper equipment,
RE: .:j:. Junker Congress Recruitment - Jhorr - 07-18-2022
Name: Cornelius 'Case' Gibson
Age: 36
Birthday and Birthplace: Somewhere in 793 A.S. on the Salvager Count Zero
Biography: Born as the eldest son of Captain Abraham Gibson, I've been living on the Count Zero for nearly 16 years before I built my first ship. Apart from the technical skills, this also taught me to barter for the parts I needed. Bartering being anything from bribing, coercing, and negotiating to outright taking what I needed. At the age of 16 I was on and off ship to pursue my own goals in life while also fulfilling my obligations to my clan and crewmates. During these years I've learned to traverse and scavenge the asteroid fields and got quite skilled in evading law enforcement.
At the age of 21 I've scrounged up enough credits to obtain a CSF, the Monalisa Overdrive, which is still in use. As one of the fastest freighters aboard the Count Zero it's used mainly to get exotic cargo to dubious locales.
At age 27 I was contacted by some fellow Junkers to head for the Count Zero which was docked at Beaumont. Upon arrival I heard my father died in a Xeno attack while scavenging the Dallas Debris fields in Texas along with three other crewmates. It was then when I was asked to assume command of the Count Zero and lead the clan. This was nine years ago.
How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: The Count Zero is always in need of repairs, upgrades and expansions. The ship is about 80 years old, so I'd say... at least 80 years, maybe more.
How good are you at selling Premium Scrap to a stranger?: Very good. As I said, I'm pretty good at 'bartering'.
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: I make it a point to not get caught by law enforcement. The few times I did I got off by hinting at some dirty secret I knew, or just outright bribing my way out. Seems everyone has a price, monetary or otherwise.
What knowledge do you possess of the Puerto Rico system, if any?: I've been there a lot. Vieques is one of the few shipyards we can make repairs without prying eyes.
What ships do you already own?: The JSF-Count.Zero and CSF-Monalisa.Overdrive

I have a Falchion that i use as an escort vessel for anyone who pays.

Basti Legionnes,
It isn't everyday we get a Junker applying to Congress with such a pedigree, the Gallic Junkers have a long and storied history that I would love nothing more then to sit and have a drink and talk about. Well, we are always looking for capable pilots and you will find no Junker Family with a longer legacy in all of Sirius than the Congress. We may not have all the glitz and glamour of Ile-de-France, but our stations are cozy enough.
Welcome to The Congress captain,
Move on over to Puerto Rico and visit Arbiter Rick Tiltman at the Ruff Tuff bar on the Vieques Shipyard to get your ship fitted with the proper equipment,
Cornelius 'Case' Gibson
Your application is currently pending further contact if you are still interested please reach out to our Arbiter Rick Tiltman we very much apologize for the delay.
RE: .:j:. Junker Congress Recruitment - Elwyn - 01-01-2023
Age: 33
Birthday and Birthplace: 7/ 10/ 796, Trafalgar Station, New London
Biography:I was born on Trafalgar in New London, then relocated to Rhineland when I came of age. Wanted to cash in on what was left over from Rhineland's invasions during the Nomad War. I spent some time operating out of the former Augsberg colony, and I'm currently based in Ingolstadt Station. The loss of my extended family when Trafalgar fell is a sore spot, as is the fact that I was so far from home when it happened. I've mostly stuffed the grief down deep, and buried myself into my work.
How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: Depends. It can be done fast, right, or cheap. Pick any two.
How good are you at selling Premium Scrap to a stranger?: Strangers don't get the premium stuff. Only friends get the premium stuff. You a cop? You have to tell me if you're a cop.
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter-accusations. Alternatively, a little credit contribution never hurt anyone. We're all buddies here, right?
What knowledge do you possess of the Puerto Rico systen, if any?: I've visited it. Dropped in at the shipyard and the smelter. Not a place I'd like to spend much time, though. Radiation's too hot.
What ships do you already own?: Pilgrim

RE: .:j:. Junker Congress Recruitment - Vamp - 08-01-2023
Age: Yes I have one, but this is not a question ladies are usually asked.
Birthday and Birthplace: A fog filled hamlet on Gran Canaria, or so the story goes.
Biography: Constance Montcroixe dwells in the shadows of time, haunting recent history, her story unfolds like a web forever entwined in the destiny of Sitius.
Constance's journey begins in a fog-veiled hamlet on the once beautiful planet of Gran Canaria, a place where the line between reality and myth blurred. It was whispered that she was the progeny of a forbidden union between an itinerant Sirian totter and a Gallic noblewoman, a harbinger of the convergence of cultures. Her parents, fearing for her safety, concealed her true nature from the world, nurturing her with love and compassion.
Her subsequent adventures upon reaching adulthood were driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure leading her on a journey across the universe, amassing a wealth of experience and wisdom. As Constance matured, she adopted a unique philosophy — a delicate balance between the light and the dark. Refusing to fall prey to the despots around every corner she embraced her striking persona and persuasive charms, using her abilities protected herself from the malevolent forces that lurked in space.
She has walked in shadows, thwarting the nefarious plots of rogues, villains, dandies and businessmen alike. Constance's allure and ethereal beauty often enticed her enemies into complacency, only to reveal her true strength when her adversaries least expected it. In the modern world, post Gran Canaria's troubles Constance has adapted to ever-changing times. Unnoticed by the masses, she used her skills in finance and technology to subtly influence her bank balances, ensuring that the life she has grown accustomed to has a long future.
Recently the ephemeral nature of many relationships have served as a constant reminder of her own mortality, maybe now is the time to set larger balls rolling, aim for larger changes in the often toxic world we find ourselves in.
How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: As fast or slow as is needed, who pays the piper calls the tune.
How good are you at selling Premium Scrap to a stranger?: Darling, I can sell owls in Athens or for the more earthy, coals to Newcastle or even Blue Jillies to Stuttgart
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: In the unlikely event its, charm, charm, more charm and some good old fashioned bartering.
What knowledge do you possess of the Puerto Rico systen, if any?: Never been a great fan of Liberty and its periphery so apart from general location and the fact it seems to be the core source of salvager's, very little.
What ships do you already own?: Currently a Border Worlds Transport

Hey, long time no see, fellas. Its been a while. I recently got free after my military contract expired, was wondering if you could take me back? Could use some income in the company that isn't obsessed with obeying every rule possible just 'cuz they fine even for farting in wrong place.
RE: .:j:. Junker Congress Recruitment - /// Drake /// - 10-24-2023
Age: Old enough...
Birthday and Birthplace: Decades ago somewhere in the Manchester System.
Biography: After coming of age I moved to Planet New London, hoping to become a soldier. Pfft, I quickly decided against that. Then, hauled loads, picked on transports, did anything and everything. Travelled a lot too. Did a brief stint in a Junker crew causing nuisance in Kusari of all places. Long story short, my beloved Salvager got messed up pretty bad and I had to scuttle her. Been drowning my sorrows in Kreuzberg till now.
How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: A broken Salvager? Don't think I've ever heard of one... wait a minute there was talk of some scrapper who got their rig crushed by a bulkhead door on Invergordon. Apparently it got cut in half but the feller still flew it about for fun? Probably an old drunk's tale. Gimme a multi-spanner and I'll see what I can do.
How good are you at selling Premium Scrap to a stranger?: Well you know what they say; one man's junk is another man's treasure.
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: Lie, lie, and lie again.
What knowledge do you possess of the Puerto Rico systen, if any?: I used to get some R&R there after hauling scrap out of Texas. Those were the days... not been back since I lost my Salvager. The crews on Vieques took good care of her.
What ships do you already own?: None of note.

RE: .:j:. Junker Congress Recruitment - Drummernaught - 06-25-2024
Age: 45
Birthday and Birthplace: October 19th, 791A.S
Biography: Born on New London, to a family of scrappers. My younger days would usually consist of travelling from place-to-place looking for anything to sell for scrap value, just to get by.
Myself, personally? I'm a quiet man. I've always kept to myself over the years, finding odd jobs here and there. More recently I was working in waste disposal, anything to put food on the table, y'know?
As I got older I found myself hunting for old ship parts and repairing them as a hobby, sometimes I would sell them if the price was good.
Eventually I found an older model CSF and learned how to fly it properly. Which lead me to Trafalger Base, now I'm sitting here writing out an application to hopefully do what I did as a kid, but on a much bigger scale...
How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: A Salvager? I dunno yet, but I can fix most things quick enough. I hope.
How good are you at selling Premium Scrap to a stranger?: Pretty good!
What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: I've never smuggled before, but nobody's bothered me when carrying my scrap, I keep myself to myself.
What knowledge do you possess of the Puerto Rico systen, if any?: Absolutely none, but I'm always keen to learn.
What ships do you already own?: Just this restored, old CSF.
