Galactic News Network



The Galactic News Network (GNN) is essentially a ominous robot that reports the news to the known galaxy about events the nine races undertake.

Description
The GNN Robot broadcasts from a unknown location, and proclaims to have the most powerful transmitter in the galaxy. Despite the nine races only recently taking to the stars, GNN will very quickly report on their progress, as well as starting several shows based around examining these races. GNN hosts three prominent programs, they are:

Racial Profiling
In this segment GNN will detail a very basic, and superficial, overview of one of the nine races before interviewing the leaders of said race. GNN will go from praising some races for their odds of "winning, such as praising the Vulfar Imperium on their potential, to outright ridiculing other races, such as dismissing the United Federation as a organization run by egotistical and corrupt space apes.

War Segment
Another popular segment, GNN will detail any wars that occur in the galaxy between the major powers. GNN will list out the aggressor (whoever initiated the war) before seeking out a comment from the aggressor on their reasons for starting the war.

Elimination!
Whenever a race is conquered or exterminated by another race, GNN will run a special segment informing the galaxy of their elimination, GNN's thoughts on the demise of that race, as well as reminding the viewer of how many races remain in the galaxy.

Ulterior Motive
!SPOILERS!

If the player is able to enter the wormhole and defeat the Master, a unexpected GNN segment will play with GNN congratulating the players empire on successfully entering the wormhole and defeating the Master. Then GNN will address the galaxy and admit that it, GNN, was responsible for giving all nine races the Stardrive. Stating that it used its extremely powerful transmitter over long periods of time to watch for suitable races, and once that race was on the zenith of reaching the stars that GNN would secretly give that race the Stardrive, all in the hope of them being able to fight and defeat the Master.

GNN will then sign off, telling the remaining races that their destiny's are now their own to forge.
