Junker Salvager

[SA_Scavenger]

I hope this doesn't come off as snarky (I've got a Junker character in a CSF), but if Junker pirates in Junker IDed gunboats start operating in earnest, how would the Congress deal with that? Assuming that those pirates follow server rules.

They already can operate gunboats if they like. Junkers can obtain other faction's gunboats and use them, facing obvious bounties that would come. By ID rules they are only allowed to pirate outside house space, Gallia and Kusari being the exceptions. Since the Congress is hunted in both Kusari and Gallia, Junkers pirates there wouldn't cause us more grief and others houses deal with it on a case by case basis. The Congress provide no protection to Junkers who decide to pirate, although we don't hand them over either unless the other side offer conclusive proof of their acts.

It's a balancing act really. The Congress itself frowns on piracy.

Edit: Should maybe add that this is my reasoning, Hawk might see it differently though and since he is head of the faction, it would obviously be his word that you should take.
