Junker Base Supplies

History
Martin Esteban was born and raised on Planet Crete. He is somewhat of the black sheep in his family as he became motivated for profit instead of battle and glory like most Corsairs. In his early years he knew of Zoners that regularly traded with the Corsiars, supplying food and buying wares to sell elsewhere but he never really gave them much thought. One day he ran into a Junker that was laid over for the night, waiting for a load of Alien Artifacts.

The Junker's name is lost in the fog of time but the crux of the conversation is not. Excitement, intrigue, danger, and profit all rolled up in the same job. The next morning Martin was at the spaceport waiting to join the crew. He had to talk hard and fast, as the Junker was reluctant to take a young Corsair off Crete. Martin sold himself by describing his skills as a fighter pilot, he had been spending hours both in simulators and in space, fighting off the Bounty Hunters that ventured into the Omicron Gamma system. Truth be told, Martin was actively being recruited by the Corsair Military Academy.

The Junker finally took him on but insisted that Martin hide in one of the many smuggling holds to avoid detection. Martin Esteban was on his way to glory still, but glory mixed with profit. He would not see home again for several years, after he made a name for himself.

Currently
Martin Esteban calls Puerto Rico home. His headquarters are on Arecibo Base where he controls a fleet of Junker ships and one cruiser to help secure the system from intrusion. His main business has become supplying bases with goods difficult to obtain for one reason or another. Whether the goods need to be smuggled from Gallia or one of the other houses doesn't matter to Junker Base Supplies, only the growing reputation that hard to procure goods can be had, for a price.

Mission Statement
Profit is what we're about. We supply goods and services that other companies are unable or unwilling to fulfill. We will also work the scrap fields often and, by doing so, provide a lawful and necessary service to keep the watchful eye of the law looking elsewhere.

Internal Company Policy

 * (Not published for outsiders to see)

If our members find out about a pirate or non-Junker smuggler that impedes on our business then we shall quietly inform the local Police agency about the crime in progress, improving our lawful portrait for the government agencies. We will never inform on another Junker. When we run contraband we will never use trade lanes. They are monitored and you will give our company a bad name. We will also avoid close contact with lawfuls. Delivering contraband to Planet Manhattan is greatly discouraged. Besides, we can easier profit delivering Cardamine to Allentown Base or Artifacts to Rochester Base. We will let the local clans handle distribution from their bases.

We do not have favorable relations with Malaysian Colonial Republic, so be wary. We should not have much issue with them while we haul legal cargo but they may prove difficult if they find us hauling contraband. Treat them as you would any house lawful: welcome them when hauling legal goods and avoid with extreme caution while smuggling. They must be brought to believe that we are lawful, despite their suspicions.

If absolutely necessary, separate us from other Junker clans in your negotiations. We are of the Puerto Rico clan and have no sway over what the other Junker clans do. No matter what, even under intense interrogation, we will never disclose any knowledge of another Junker's illegal activities.

ZOI
Anywhere profit takes us is where we will go. However, be wary of trying to enter Kusari. The Hogosha have been rather successful in keeping Junker influence from the Kusari government and Kusari space is still quite distrustful toward us. Avoid Kusari whenever possible. If you must go, be quick and get out as soon as possible.

Be very wary in some of the more distant Omicron systems where the Zoners seem to keep a strong influence, those systems are extremely dangerous.
