A diverse group, nominally working for the Guild. In practice, they're private enterpreneurs, mostly from Laputa, to whom the Guild leases space vessels (although some own alien ships, pic. Rhodelian). They work to pay off steep license fees, hoping to score big and either retire or move to another part of the Empire. Both the trading hub of Laputa and the Guild holdings in general need services like salvaging, search & rescue missions, open space maintenance, and sometimes personal errands for Guild bosses. We can conceivably find Junkers willing to salvage some space stuff for us, as well.
