Danke for information, Herr Ivankov. There is just one last thing I want to ask. Because...well, to sum it up, Unioners let your ship dock and gave it several hours on their base, asking nothing in return, ja? Not a single credit or part of cargo. This sounds very...unusually, Herr Ivankov. Unless both parties have better than neutral relations. Or friendly relations actually.
For this reason, I would like to know details about what relation is between Unioners and Junker Marauders considering fact they not only didn´t pirate your ship to confiscate quite useful cargo, but they even allowed your ship to use their station without asking anything and then let it go freely.
Apologies for the long wait, a variety of matters have come up and it seems that the volume of them has resulted in certain transmission files being moved into the spam section mistakenly.
Quite frankly I cant really explain their reasoning. Of all the abilities I may possess, sadly being a psychic is not one of them. I would guess though relating to the cargo as I previously mentioned, the cargo was specifically designed for use on Junker installations and would be of little practical use to anyone else. Either that or none of their group thought much of stealing a damaged ship that couldnt even navigate properly on its own.
Our business in Rheinland mostly revolves around aiding ALG with salvage operations in Munich and as such we do not involve ourselves in any kind of material or financial assistance towards any group Rheinland has declared to be illegal. If I had to characterize our relationship with the Unioners, I would describe it as keep moving, dont make eye contact. While we have no outright hostility with them, all of our pilots are encouraged to associate with them as little as possible as their have been a few instances of them attacking our transports. Encounters with them showing hostility have and do happen. Thankfully instances of their success are low as our transports typically operate in groups to discourage this type of aggression. I'm just as happy as i'm sure you were to learn that our pilot had managed to leave at the helm of his ship and not floating in space as a corpse.
