Junkers' Capital Ships?

[Tenacity]

Or maybe there was a junker contest to see who could rebuild the biggest ship?

But more seriously the Hogoblablabla (it is funnier that way XD ) could potentially be seen as a threat, they do have a few capships, being the uber rich mafia of Kusari. Maybe the Junkers wanted something that could stand up to one?

Xenos are a far closer - and far larger - threat than the hogosha. hogosha dont attack junkers outside of kusari space, and as long as junkers dont go into kusari space they're not a threat.

Xenos are trying to take over the junker's turf in liberty though, and that pisses junkers off. Xenos have lots of fighters, and it's more cost-effective to build one capship than it is to build a dozen fighters for base defense.
