Of course there are multiple ways to interpret junker RP.
Junkers are about Salvaging and smuggling.
The fact that some faction jump trades or build PoB for DSE miners or pirates everyone outside Liberty,Bretonia and Rheinland doesn't mean it is the role of Junkers. It is the role of those factions.
Congress in my eyes are like OSI now. Corporate Junkers. No longer the one described in lore. JM is closer to lore as they are pirating just like NPCs did. They also bring shady stuff when you pay them good money to do.
OSI is corporate Zoners who are no longer real Zoners, if they heavily rely on docking their 5kers to house space while maintaining indie IDed capital ships.
SIMPLE RP EXLANATION:
DSE mined out the crap out of those fields in Humboldt. They are exhausted just like ones in Colorado. DSE looked for other fields, found them in Vespucci.
It is that simple of explanation.
Congress still smuggles. We just do it smart. Congress still operates as pirates in Kusari. Just because we do not wish to pirate the miners that makes us tons of credits and purchases our wares, does not mean we no longer pirate. Other mining factions have mined ore fields far more and a lot longer than we had access to the ore fields around Saltese. I do not see any other ore fields being hit here. This is directed only at us, as usual.
