JUNKERS: TOO MUCH TRASH? -- KREUZBERG -- The scavengers of Sirius who make their home in New Berlin are complaining that just because they are called Junkers doesn't mean that they will take anything. "People are bringing us their garbage and expecting us to trade for it," Otto Schumann reported. Apparently Rheinland's economic woes are affecting everyone, even the criminals. "I can't sell it to ALG like Scrap Metal, and these people are expecting me to trade them Food and Consumer Goods for it," Schumann later added.
Rumors[]
"I can't keep all the bad guys straight here, personally. The Bundshuh are elitist Berlin University types who are trying to change the world -- go figure. The Unioners have it in for Republican Shipping, while the Red Hessians aim more at Daumann. The LWB prefers to prey on Synth Foods. Of course, a lot of them will just knock over a passing ship if it's an easy mark."
"We'd like to supply Liberty with Artifacts and Cardamine from our Yanagi base using the Unioners as couriers, but they won't bite. They've got principles, they say. Diamond smuggling is perfectly legitimate in their eyes, I guess."
"Hans just brought in some Artifacts and Cardamine from Yanagi. He had a clase call in Hamburg with some Bounty Hunters, but otherwise it was a quiet trip. Sigma-13 is a new area for us Junkers. We've had to improve our shielding and general weaponry a lot just to survive out there in GMG country. It's a long run from there, so you'd make some good money."
"A lot of the local thugs use our depot as their bed for the night. They make raids out into the Lanes, then retreat to the comforts of home. Nothing like a nice big stein Kreuzberg Weissbier after a hard day's work blasting Synth Foods transports into oblivion."
"There's daily ship that make the trip to Berlin with Diamonds that the Hessians bring in from Dresden and the Border Worlds. We usually stock up on Side Arms and Engine Components, which are tough to come for most of the criminals that frequent our little depot."
"The Hessians don't like our tolerating the Corsairs in Sigma-13. They're locked in some death struggle for control of the southern Edge Worlds. Word is that the Hessians are winning because of all the fresh recruits they can find in Rheinland to send into the meat grinder."
"You'll want to be careful in the northern areas of the Ruhr. There are some nasty pockets of radiation that'll cook your ship pretty fast. The Jump Hole to Hamburg is there too."
"Good Scrap is getting difficult to find around here. There are still some good pockets, but they're in the radioactive areas, so that's no good. At least it's cheap paying off the police in Rheinland. Makes it much easier to do business."
"There are multiple dead ships floating in a radiation pocket of the Ruhrfeld. They are most likely Unioners, maybe a Red Hessian or two. Most of them have been stripped clean, but there may still be a few with one or two weapons left on them."
"If you want to risk it, we need Cardamine and Artifacts run into New Berlin. The police could care less about the Diamond trade, but they don't budge on drugs and trinkets. Verboten. End of discussion."
"There's a raiding party leaving shortly for the Dortmund-Bonn Lane. Someone heard a Junker talking about a Synth Foods transport coming in from hamburg with Fertilizers. They don't guard them as well as the Food shipments, especially Luxury Foods."
"If you're looking to help our cause, haul some supplies up to Darmstadt. That's our base in the Ostnebel in Stuttgart. We often buy them in Vogtland, but they are much more expensive there."
"Synth Foods blames us for the food shortages in Berlin. The truth is, most of their food is bound for Liberty, where they can make much higher profits. Whether Rheinland starves or not is none of their concern."
"We've been helping the LWB a bit. They let us use their base in the Ostnebel in Stuttgart. They aren't up to Hessian standards as far as combat skill and equipement levels, but they are fast learners."
"The Hessians are always looking for able-bodied pilots who like a bit of a fight, especially if you hate Corsairs like we do. We always need supplies up in Vogtland. That's our headquarters in Dresden, through the Hole in the Saarfeld."
"I've just come in from the Freital base in Omega-11 with some Diamonds mined from the Von Rohe Belt. You're on the edge of nowhere out there -- Corsair country to the south and west. We've got a little war with them going in Omega-5, if you want some action."
"This is a good stop-over point for our forays into Hamburg. Not really our territory up there. We just make runs on the prison occasionally, mostly, when they capture a senior pilot or someone else valuable to our cause."
"It's kind of nice to see a sun again. I've been trapped on Vogtland for months, repairing ships damaged in the Omega-5 battles. They let me have a little rest and recreation in Berlin. So I'm out popping Bounty Hunters and Daumann escort ships. I find it very therapeutic."
"If you want to make friends with a Hessian, start shoooting up some Daumann or Kruger ships. We mount many of our attacks in Berlin right out of this base. You've got Kruger's base at Essen, and the Trade Lanes to Hamburg and Stuttgart. Plenty of choices, just depends what mood you're in."
"We make our living smuggling Diamonds from here to Pacifica. Unioners carry them all they way to Dawson, where they are sold to the Rogues, who smuggle them past the Xenos in Hudson and Texas and across the final stretch in New York."
"The Junkers have approached us with a proposal to smuggle Artifacts and Cardamine into Dawson. We have not accepted, although it would be very lucrative and give us much more money to buy ships and weapons. If the Unioners became drug addicts and smugglers like the Rogues, then we would deserve to be called common criminals."
"We use this base to attack the republican Shipping imperialists within New Berlin. It's also a convenient place to purchase proper Rheinland Side Arms at a good price. Most of our brothers in arms are in Hamburg, waiting in the asteroid fields for any opportunities that may present themselves."
