The only 'friendly' entrance to gallia is on the opposite end of Sirius from ALG's home space. Yes, you may operate in all four houses doing waste cleanup and shipping, but are you really going to drag your ships through 3 warzones (liberty vs rheinland, bretonia vs kusari, and gallia) trying to transport goods that really arent going to make you any more profit than routes that are much safer for your corporation?
Further, you cant go past council space (i.e. languedoc) - the GRN are shooting any Sirius craft on Sight with the exception of Junkers.
The council might be willing to deal with you, but you probably should not mention the junkers, our two groups dont exactly get along. We work for them occasionally but most of the council and gallic unlawfuls view junkers as royalists in gallia.

When I look at real life examples, it often happens that companies are bound to some kind of contract, which leads them through dangerous areas. And as you mentioned: Gallia is on the opposite side of Sirius, so why should we transport goods from there, which fit in our company motto when they drop nearly the same or less profit than safer routes? Because it would be inRP to do so. What is more realistic: an ALG Heavy Mover hauling Prometheum, Cryocubes, ... or some smugglers with their crappy Pirate Transports?
Please keep in mind, that I don't want to discuss the profit of those goods here. That's not what ALG is about. It's about to fit into the entire context with appropriate behaviour. And in my opinion some commodities fit perfectly.

Languedoc is enough. The Lodeve Base is near the jump hole and the chance to be blown up by Gallic Royal Forces is rather low. For now there is no need to travel any further into Gallic space. R?union is even in the Orkney system and sells Prometheum, which the Rheinland intelligence service needs, so why shouldn't we get it there?

Well, this is the first statement which claims that ALG and Junkers have some cheesy relationship. In my opinion our factions have some kind of 'functional marriage' due to the situation in Sigma 13. But this discussion isn't about the relationship. If I looked at it from a wrong point, then thanks for correcting me.
I don't know what Junkers factions think about ALG in Junkers base in Galia.
Since probably everyone knows about Gallia and Junkers there, I think every Junker knows about their bases there.
ALG has positive feelings among Junkers, so you could buy an information about Junkers base in Gallia from an independent Junker.
If you want to go there, just go, it is your risk and your life...
Okay, I went to Lodeve Base several times and transported Cryocubes to some destination point. It's a good profit, if you ignore the transport time. (Like I do.)
