Junker Salvage Frigate

Built to harvest larger amounts of riches from the debris fields of Sirius with a dizzying array of tool arms, generous cargobay and powerful tug capable engines results in an unmatched ability to salvage even the largest parts from space while at the same time protecting them from anyone that might oppose them.

The hallmark of the most successful clans within the greater Junker community, the Salvage Frigate class, while built upon the same basic core philosophy, grows to be as varied as the families that crew them with each passing generation. As such the vessel is never seen outside of the hands of Junkers, as the ship is by no means sold, so much as it is almost grown through years of combing and love of their crews.

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review without version number

Review The Salvager is a workhorse vessel for any major Junker operation, be is smuggling or scrapping metal from a debris field, this transport can support itself very easily. Supporting six gunboat turrets, the only transport capable of doing so, it can mount devastating firepower to keep most lone pirates at bay. Having seen this vessel in almost all parts of House space, it's appearance is the paramount of Junker style sacrificing sleek and streamline appearing for workhorse capability. The details to equipment visible on the exterior of the ship range from the underside mounted grappling arm, to the crane directly on the dorsal side above. The front of this vessel has two primary arms on it's front end for collecting large debris and feeding it into the smaller arms within, much like some form of giant space crab. Having flown one of these ships for a long while, and successfully scrapped a large amount of ore and smuggled cargo all over Sirius without regret, this vessel will see any dedicated Junker through thick and thin, and back again. It's ability to fight off smaller ships is undeniable, having personally been assaulted within Liberty's borders by a pair of wild Rogues and being forced to limp my way to the nearest dock. Though I believe those Liberty Rogues ships are still floating somewhere in the Badlands, indeed they learned their lesson that a Salvager is no easy mark. As for defending from bombers, every transports nightmare is a skilled bomber pilot. Thankfully any skilled bomber pilot worth his ship won't be wasting time pirating smugglers, they'll go straight for House transports, where real money flies. Though as before, any lone ship will approach a Salvager with caution, or else they'll be added to the list of pirates and terrorists who've been taught that Junkers are exactly what they're about, making scrap out of their pretty ships. A small warning. Something this good has it's drawbacks. The Number 1 turret is front-firing only, and Number 6 is rear-firing only. Those usually end up mining laser turrets on scrapping Salvagers. I recommend this ship to anyone who's a Junker and wants a solid transport for legal, illegal, or scrap metal purposes. It's reliable and packs a punch worth it's whopping price. Just don't go anywhere near Kusari military routes, and you'll be a rich Junker in no time. Though you'll still smell like rusted metal and oil.
