Synopsis:
The SBC was made in 818 A.S. to first provide insight and knowledge into the discovery of the state of Gallia, but was quickly pushed aside by the larger House corporations, who were as perplexed as the rest of the Sirius Sector. The founding member, Phillip L. Jackson, set out to find out the truth behind everything. He gathered his credits, bought a wide-band broadcasting system, and left for the story of a lifetime. The Sirius Broadcasting Corporation resides in almost anywhere that can accept a few cameras, but chose New London as a primary HQ. The SBC has sent ships far and wide to find the best stories and the best information for all to know, after all, knowledge is power.

Space-Grade Craft:
While we do not have a strict system for ships, anything 'civilian' will do. A small list of suggestions follow:
CLI-11000 "Arrow"

The Arrow is a well known light interceptor known for their speed and agility. They are less known for the fact that they can have their Human occupant replaced with an artificial intelligence that is capable of identifying other vessels and capture video. These are used to capture audio and visual recordings cheaply and without risk to human users.

CTE-6000 "Eagle"

The mainstream fightercraft in all of Sirius will not be ignored for an upcoming news corporation. The Eagle is a solid craft capable of defense and offence from pirates and not-so-kind entities, and can hold a reporter-cameraman pair with all their gear comfortably. These are the craft of choice for reporters who need to report things fast without ending up as debris.

CTE-19000 "Roc"

The 'Roc' bomber, while less preferred to the Eagle, still maintains a reputation as a popular and sturdy attack and defense craft for reporters and broadcasting centers alike. Featuring the additions of two Torpedo-Grade weapon systems, reporters within the Roc can easily go to places they are not as welcome to and get out with the story.

CTE-19000 "Spatial"

Used as a scout for mining convoys, the SBC deploy this craft to explore environmental hazard areas, such as radiation fields and station wrecks. The reinforced structure on the Spatial guarantees its survival as well as the survival of its occupants and equipment. These craft are capable of hosting a news team of five for long deployments such as war reporting and disaster cleanup.

CTE-F-1050-A "Kestrel"

The Krestal is a preferred choice for extended stays in lowly populated systems due to the extended cargo bays and reserve power capacity. The Krestal will fit a news team and transmission equipment easily and is more than capable of defending against the occasional foe or beast. They are usually deployed for inter-house interviews and stories.

Armored Transport "Pelican"

For the absolute safety and security of staff, reporters, patrons, and representatives, there is the Pelican. A low-cost alternative to large and inefficient Liners, the Armored Transport can haul an entire base population in relative ease, as well as an entire news sector. The low cost shows no shortcuts, as it it highly armed and armored, capable of taking a hit as well as giving one in return. Vessels of this size are not commonplace within the Sirius Broadcasting Corporation, but they are worth having when, mass evacuations or emergencies are happening.

CT-53 "Heron"

To serve the logistical need of the SBC, the Heron was added to the ship showcase. Sporting a voluminous cargo bay of 3000 units, the Heron spares no expense for the safety of its goods, and six transport-grade turrets will deter any hostile craft that comes into contact with it. These Herons are sent out to collect supplies to fuel the needs of the SBC when they cannot find it within their own area of effect.

"Corvo" Deep Space Explorer A.K.A. 'In.Amber.Clad'

The flagship of the Sirius Broadcasting Corporation, the 'Amber' as most of the crew designates it, is a small mobile news station that serves as the hub for all other reporters and broadcasters and relays all processed information to the Broadcasting center for transmission through Sirius. While having a small fleet to gather information and reports, the Amber goes out to seek the news as it breaks as well, traveling to the places that the other ships cannot survive in to get the story as it 'rolls off the press.' The Amber is eventually set to be replaced, but no date has been set.

ooRP/OOC Area and Nonsense:
The SBC is the most recent idea of the sick mind that brought you the concept of 'space.' No, not Morgan Freelancer, but I would so be him. Basically, the SBC is trying to give the most truthful and unbiased news available, although it may need to do a slander job or two in order to pay their employees. We are as close to Zoners as one might think, save for the fact that we are not Zoners. We will go anywhere that our ships will be able to get into and get a story from it. After report compiling from all the field reporters, I will bundle the mass into one news post. As a member of the SBC, you are out for a story, not to start a fight. Defend yourself if you must, but don't go attacking some indie because they looked at you funny. I actually plan on taking the reports that you as a playerbase give me and actually make a news episode from it, or something close to it. Something that will let someone that wasn't there know what happened.

Well, what did I do wrong this time? Tell me!
