''3130 MGMT - GalCop begins a programme of retrofitting out-of-date communications equipment on older vessels. At the same time, satellite and comms buoys are upgraded.''<br><br />

And communications companies popped up like mushrooms, offering dubious and sometimes very expensive services,<br />
each trying to grab the biggest slice of this new market, swept up by a goldrush fever. Only a handful of news agencies survived the ensuing 'War of Information' - an orgy of mergers, acquisitions, lawsuits and the occasional little bit of terrorism and sabotage - to create today's stable news market that we know and love.<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
And Snoopers brings them to you. Directly onto your screen, through your eyeballs and into your brain.<br />

We snoop, it's what we do best. Every rumour, every unbelievable tale from every corner of every chart. We collect, collate, dismiss as guff or reveal as unimaginable truth. If you haven't yet heard the one about Raxxla, then visit our pages: ooo.snoopers.gal<br />

'''Galactic News Network'''<br />
[[Image:Snoopers_GNN.png|right|GNN - Official GalCoop Network]]<br />
Up to the minute live commentary on the issues that matter across all eight charts. Voted best Serious News Channel for three consecutive cycles. Unparalleled access to the upper echelons of The Galactic Cooperative and the Galactic Navy. We don't start rumours, we don't report rumours, just the news, the truth, without spin or compromise.<br />

Didn't 'vape that embarrassing nano-storage crystal properly? Is that fly on the wall really just a fly? Here at Rooters we rely on the fact that corrupt people surround themselves with other like-minded people. Like-minded people who are usually less well paid/bribed than their superiors and not above taking a tongue loosening bung from one of our highly unscrupulous reporters. We're here to reveal the truth and we're not above paying for it, stealing it or intercepting it before it goes to the trash compactor. No matter how well buried you think the truth is, we will dig it up.<br />

'''The Tionisla Chronicle'''[[Image:Snoopers_TC.png|right|The Tionisla Chronicle - THE network]]<br />
<br />
Affectionately known as the 'Chronic', and considered by many to inhabit the trashy end of the news market, nevertheless the Tionisla Chronicle is one of the most widely read news feeds broadcasting around the galaxy with advertising revenues in excess of five million credits per year. Its blend of populist articles, local news, hyperbole and scant regard for complete factual accuracy, aimed squarely at the impecunious yet entreprenurial small-time trader, endears it to many.<br />
<br />
It is one of the longest-running news networks, with an unbroken line of editors stretching back to 2781. The current editor-in-chief, Anna Mereso, worked her way up through the ranks as a reporter, finally clinching the top job by being in the right place at the right time to cover the 'Lave Blockade' of 3125 as featured in the closing chapters of [[Status Quo]]. The origin of its famous catchphrase, "Truth is, we don't know!", has unfortunately been lost in the mists of time. <br />
<br />
The Chronicle operates from its base at Tionisla, transmitting from the Chronicle Array, on wideband channel 385.2.<br />

<br></div>Daddyhoggyhttps://wiki.alioth.net/index.php?title=User:Daddyhoggy&diff=13178User:Daddyhoggy2009-05-20T17:44:19Z<p>Daddyhoggy: Back-story for DaddyHoggy</p>
<hr />
<div>Hailing originally from Soreisbe in Chart 2, DaddyHoggy reveals that you too would be described as ''fierce'' if you spent the first few minutes of any new meeting justifying why you are not in fact ''bug-eyed'', despite what was written (in error and stands uncorrected despite many official and unofficial protests) in the "Guide" installed by default in every ship based navigation system.<br />
<br />
DaddyHoggy strongly believes that the original author of the guide simply took umbrage with his Soreisbian hosts when he was cleaned out during a particularly high stake game of Teonanian Hold'em (hosted at Raseac's Palace). The Soreisbian's were accused of cheating, a claim which they strongly refute. "After all," notes DaddyHoggy, "the record clearly states that the human author of the Guide brought his own packs of playing cards with him, fancying himself as a bit of a card-shark."<br />
<br />
However, when pressed, DaddyHoggy refuses to be drawn on claims that an improved spectral response of a Soreisbian eye renders the playing card material of choice for most (humanoid dominated) Hoopy Casinos completely transparent. Although this, he concedes, while unproven, may go some way to explain the rather unflattering "bug-eye" label.<br />
<br />
Details of DaddyHoggy's early years are somewhat sketchy, although it is known that he lost both parents to a goat attack when he was barely a fledgling. He won't be drawn on precisely how he first made it into space, but does not deny the possibility that he won the ticket onto his first jump-capable passenger liner in a card game. [Note: it would appear that this liner was lost after a freak asteroid strike, but DaddyHoggy refuses to name either the ship or the company involved after agreeing to a non-disclosure out-of-court settlement from the ship's owners]<br />
<br />
It would seem that even the name DaddyHoggy is somewhat of a ''nom de plume'', derived, incorrectly, notes DaddyHoggy, from his rather exuberant native greeting of ''D-dd-aa-aa-dd-dd-ee-ee-hooooooooo-keeeeeeeeeeeee'' - which roughly translated simply means ''beautiful plumage'' (a highly regarded Soreisbian compliment).<br />
<br />
It cannot be denied though, that in recent years, DaddyHoggy's love of gambling and eye for the more unusual (he prefers "striking") colour scheme has lead to several Ad-X commissions from many Big-name brands that adorn the highly popular (and aptly named) ''Constores'' where it is said DaddyHoggy prefers to "hang his hat" as the card playing (and money making opportunities) are more abundant.<br />
<br />
His biggest Commissions to-date, however, are the extremely high profile, soon to be launched, racing teams of Magma Racing, Hatchling Racing and Ayr Thistle where his true exuberance for use-of-colour will not go unnoticed amongst the racing and gambling public.<br />
<br />
DaddyHoggy is currently without a ship of his own having sold his 50% stake in a rather run-down (but perfectly serviceable) Cobra MkIII to the ship's pilot a large (ok, fat) avian from Inisza. He took the crushing of his co-pilots seat (and along with it his mealworm in jelly dessert, DaddyHoggy is quick to point out) from a split support beam as a "sign" that it was time to hang up, for the time being, his space-wings.<br />
<br />
He says he misses the ''Lazari'' but not enough to want her back.</div>Daddyhoggy
