The Galactic News Service (or GNS) is an IC news system that provides information to the rest of the player base about certain events around the galaxy. There are two parts to it, the GNS Posts and the Flashnews.
GNS Posts
These are posts made by the players themselves. Only factions can post to the GNS, and then only from within a Capital ship or inside a powered facility. Must not be in Hyperspace if you wish to post a GNS post. Also, you must have the proper privileges from a faction in order to post in their behalf. Posts go through the process of review from the Galactic Government, who can accept a post or decline it. Those who do not wish their post to be reviewed by the GG, and also want to hide their location, can try to hack the GNS. Successfully hacking the GNS depends on one Theft/Deceit skill. If the skill check is positive, then the post will be hacked into the system and displayed without the permission of the GG.
Flashnews
