.:j:. Junker Congress Recruitment

[JamesRobinson]

Name: Andreas Eriksson

Age: 33

Birthday and Birthplace: 8/27/793, Holman Outpost, Tau-31

Biography: I was born on Holman Outpost, to a family of Bretonian miners who chose to made their lives working security protecting miners from piracy. My mom was Freja, dad was Anders, our family were proud descendants of some of the few Nordic peoples to make the trip to Sirius. I was educated by the IMG so I don't have the best book smarts but I've been around for a long time. I was almost a jack of all trades for the IMG. Never really a combat pilot but I would haul things (legal and illegal) and salvage whatever wrecks we found.

Unfortunately for me, everything changed when the IMG came through. My parents were among the first IMG convoys hit. They just set through one day and my parents were gone.. a lot of our people were gone. I eked out an existence during the war. I held resupply alliance supply lines. I don't carry the same resentment as a lot of my fellow IMG peoples towards the Bretons for Aland. I blame the Gallics, they caused everything.

I finally left the IMG when I noticed the policies change and we started becoming more tolerant towards the Gallics, and I view their most recent announcements as pure political folly, not only a total betrayal of our people. I could not tolerate it anymore. I left. I made a few Junker contacts and started doing some hauling and salvage for them. The Junkers are my kind of people. Apolitical. I just want to do my work and not have to deal with other bullshit.

---

How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: Depends on how broken it is.

How good are you at selling Premium Scrap to a stranger?: I could sell ice to an Eskimo.

What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: If I'm not hauling contraband it's not getting caught. If I do haul contraband, I'm not stupid enough to use trade lanes. I learned all the backdoors into the systems. That being said, if I somehow do get caught by the law, I'll pay the fine and move on. I'm causing as little trouble as possible. If I get pirated sometimes you just gotta pay the piper to move on. Can't haul shit when you're dead.

What knowledge do you possess of the Puerto Rico system, if any?: I've always heard it's a place to be avoided. A cousin of mine got vaporized by the stellar matter stream there once.

What ships do you already own?: Right now I just have a Sunburst, I lost a lot when I left the IMG but I'm already working on better equipment.

[Junker Congress]

Andreas Eriksson,

You have been through hell and back, dealt with pain no one should have to suffer. Witnessed the tyranny of the Crown first hand. On top of that, you know your way around a transport, and your sales skills are top notch. Many in the congress disagreed with the IMG's actions at Aland, as always we kept our mouths silent.

Move on over to Puerto Rico and visit Arbiter Rick Tiltman at the Ruff Tuff bar on the Vieques Shipyard to get introduced to the rest of the family.

All the stuff we didn't use or got wrong was just set out in a pile, waiting to be scooped up by what I thought were red-necks that I've seen all my life roo-in and tootin. But shortly after I started is where I first met a Junker. He was quite kind and happy with what he did. we had a few drink that night after he decided to stay for a night. over drinks he told me stories of treasures and old military tech that he found, how stars shined when you're out among them. At 30 I was able to take to the stars myself. Found some other junkers, joined them and started on my way as a junker feller. Never did find that junker feller who started it all for me.

[Son_of_Megatron]

Name: Flynn Taggart

Age: 43

Birthday and Birthplace: June 13th, Born on Freeport 2

Biography:
Born on Freeport 2 the child of Smugglers, I grew up largely on ships. I worked on the station and on a number of ships before I eventually acquired a ship of my own, a "Pitbull" or "Pirate train" that had seen better days being more rust and welded patchwork than ship but it was capable of space flight after a bit of time and a lot of work. That ship became my home, my freedom and the start of career as a trader. I started running anything and everything to anywhere that was willing to pay me for the work. With some motivation from Lawfuls I eventually bought a more "acceptable" ship. I have flown a handful of ships since then trying to find something that feels right but nothing is the same as the train, I currently fly a "Nanga Parbat" That while not able to hold as much draws less attention. I have been running as a freelance trader for about 15 years now going wherever the credits call. I have had a number of interactions with Junkers in the past but until recently I had not given joining an organization much thought. Recently while flying with an independent junker named Burnie we ran into Rick who I have bumped into a few times in the past, after a bit of a chat I decided that maybe Being part of something more would not be such a bad thing if nothing else there is a comfort in knowing someone might have your back out there. That is the quick and sloppy break down of where I came from to where I am.

---

How fast can you repair a broken Salvager?: How much duct tape is on hand? Depending on whats broke and/or the danger to my life the time is somewhere between Right the hell now and does it really need to be fixed?

How good are you at selling Premium Scrap to a stranger?: I have sold a lot of things to a lot of people and can not imagine it is much different.

What would you do if you get caught smuggling by a member of law enforcement? What about if you're stopped by a bandit while smuggling?: Well one tries not to make a habit getting stopped doing what I do but a good lie or playing dumb has kept me flying in one piece so far.
For bandits it is not much different tho you know neither of you wants to be caught so a quick and smooth interaction is preferred.

What knowledge do you possess of the Puerto Rico systen, if any?: There are some bases and a shipyard there I have had dealings with in the past.

What ships do you already own?: Nanga Parbat But I am interested in going back to a Pitbull
