junker background?

very good points, all of you. i guess junkers are one of the few npc factions that are a blank page for players to make what they want then huh? i like that, add's a bit more freedom than other faction.

Random ideas:

- Junkers who can trace their clan lineage back multiple generations
- Junkers who are fugitives seeking a new identity in a new house
- Junkers who work planetside under one of many shell corporations handling urban sanitation, allowing space Junkers an excuse to land on said planet
- Junkers who were simple wannabe space-faring pilots who had defaulted on a loan and were captured and put to work in a comms-stripped and homing-beaconed CSV as a last chance, and earned their freedom and a place in the organization

Sky's the limit. One of the good parts of the faction.

I've always seen the Junkers as one of the most tight knit groups in the game. They're like gypsie clans - you're either a Junker or you're not. Perhaps you could marry into them and two or three generations later your children could be thought of as Junkers.

There's a really cool news story in Sigma 13 about the Junkers holding a congress to welcome adolescent children into the clan as adults. That's a dynamic no other faction really has - the Zomers don't even come close, as a decentralized pseudo-anarchic movement. No Junker would ever betray another Junker.
