Signal-GK is an abbreviation for Gashimeku Kaalariin, Vilani for vessel in distress.
Description (Specifications)
The code signal GK originated on Vland as a distress signal in maritime and aviation activity. The code was later extended to spaceflight and even later to starflight.
History & Background (Dossier)
Signal-GK was one of the standard communications codes of the Vilani Imperium. When the Second Imperium succeeded it, signal GK was retained as a distress code co-equal with the Terran SOS and Mayday signals.
The Imperial Navigation Act of 103 requires all vessels, whether military or [[civilian], to respond to the GK, SOS, or Mayday signals, provided such response does not endanger the ship and crew of the responding vessel.
