Fleet News Service
More actions
The Fleet News Service is the official name of the makeshift news service created by the handful of media reporters still alive in The Fleet.
The news service is comprised primarily of the large group of journalists that were aboard Colonial Heavy 798 for battlestar Galactica's decommissioning ceremony (Miniseries).
The news service attends press conferences held by President Laura Roslin aboard Colonial One or with Commander William Adama and his command staff aboard Galactica in the Pilot Ready Room. While President Laura Roslin tends to utilize them to her benefit at times and has a good relationship with the press corps (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II, Home, Part I), neither Commander Adama or Colonel Tigh are particularly good with managing the deep and candid questions that the press throws at them (Home, Part I).
FNS has been used for spreading information about known Cylon models throughout the Fleet (Litmus). The political commentary group, the "Colonial Gang," probably airs on Fleet News Service talk wireless broadcasts (Colonial Day).
D'anna Biers is a documentary reporter for the Fleet News Service (Final Cut).
