Perhaps the most important commodity of all within Charted Space has always been and continues to remain: Information.
- The News Services of Charted Space are controlled and/or regulated by many different actors on the interstellar relations stage: polities, megacorporations, varies sophont races, and vast array of interest groups.
- All of these different actors hold different values, relationships with data, and priorities.
- A few of these actors believe in traditional values of bringing the facts to the people to prepare them to make their own decisions.
Description (Specifications)
Even in a galaxy where FTL star travel is a way of life, information travels relatively slowly throughout Charted Space. Instantaneous communication, a long-held dream, has never been achieved by any known race. Thus communication is usually limited to the speed of packets, couriers, and message-laden starships. Lesser frequented spaceways might only receive mail transmissions, physical mail packages or letters, and other communications once every few weeks. While the more frequented trade routes most often receive messages several times a subjective Terran-standard 24-hour period (day).
Regardless, the great stretches of Charted Space are vast, and it can take months or even years for information to pass from one end of civilization to the other.
