I Defected just yesterday because french trads for ranking wasnt right ( not saying wich item i'll unlock after 4 weeks ) and i thought FD dismissed special PP items....
So... i applied for Torval, then a friend told me his english version of the game was annoucing items back and That Torval would give a mining laser ( as said in beta notes ).
I just lost 1 week and 1 day in Torval, great.... So to answer your question, 5 mins after i defected, i got chased by one of Torval's Python. i Killed him and got 200Cr bounty reward....
I'm getting interdicted by Torval's ships 2 or 3 times a days. just about the same rate that Pirate NPC when trading. I had Python, Eagle, and small stuff, never met any conda.
