To be honest, the Gallic Junkers have simply taken advantage of the situation. Their biggest goal is to profiteer by any means necessary, which before Reunion, meant supporting the only pool of cash, the Government. But recently, with the Outcasts making their move into Gallia and other factions suddenly becoming interested in Gallia, there are a lot more ways to profiteer. My favorite example is the possibility of using Cardamine as a way of taking over the Gallic Black Market while showing their Unione Corse enemies who's boss. Of course, they can continue to support the crown, which is still profitable, but they face the social consequences of doing so.
They are one of the only factions that has the potential to have a diplomacy that makes them friendly to the Government and one of their enemies and it shouldn't just be re-purposed.
Since the Gallic Junkers do scrap mining and waste disposal and are friendly to the crown, the might see about aquiring docking with Gaians who have an NAP with the Royal Navy

That would actually be excellent. From there, they'd be able to strike at Bretonia and even warm up to the Corsairs and use Artifacts as an opposing force to the Corse.

Unione Corse already occasionally smuggle artifacts from Kusari, via their link with the Hogosha. In the past, Corse and Gaians have gotten along decently, too. There just hasn't been an active Gaian faction in about two years now
What would make more sense is GJ-Mollys. The Mollys are actually friends with the Gallic Crown/GRN, and so the GJ could theoretically work with them some
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."

Well, for strikes into Bretonia..they could already just dock on Planet Leeds or any base in the Leeds system, for that matter.

Hrm, good point, but I think I'd like to see a GJ-Outcast alliance, since Cardamine is the only thing that can combat the Nox trade.
Mollies would be fun to RP with, I believe the <gj> already did some RP about that...

Certainly not the most terrible idea ever, hmm.
Not disagreeing with either of those statements, Wulverine. In fact, I've been pushing for better GJ-Outcast relations for a while, with Torino as a good example
The Gallic quasi-/unlawful group needs a split anywway. If there's an active Gallic Junker group, they can side with the Gallic Crown and covertly with the Outcasts (as well as Solar Engineering) against the Maquis, Corse, and Council (Brigands would likely support the latter three, but might opt out altogether). Things could get quite interesting, and it would certainly promote activity within Gallia itself

Torino is a good example, actually. Had a look at the infocard today and thought about how they had a relationship the moment the Outcasts entered Gallia.
It'd be a really tedious style of Roleplay, which could cause a domino affect of activity. I do find the idea of Council/Corse/Maquis hunting the Junkers while being potentially hounded by the Navy, Police and Outcasts somewhat entertaining.
