Freedom Galactic News operated from deep space, and was based aboard the Hearst, a modified Class VI freighter. The headstrong attitudes of the team members often resulted in clashes in the confined environment of the ship, and the old ship's limited power output meant that she could not broadcast while under way—a drawback for a team whose motto was Be Where The Story Is Happening. Nevertheless, in a short time, the agency became one of the best-known in the Galaxy, renowned for its coverage of events on the Outer Rim.
