| '''Galnet''' is a galactic data network and information aggregator [[corporation]] owned by the [[Pilots Federation]]. It has a near monopoly on market information, galactic news, and communication and data management systems for [[ships]] and [[station]]s.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Galnet provides the latest information on important [[galaxy|galactic]] news and [[Powerplay]] activity.<ref name=":1" /> Galnet systems are fitted as standard on nearly all independent ships and even some belonging to militaries.<ref name=":2">Tourist Beacon 0249, "Pilots Federation's Near Monopoly"</ref>

| == Background ==
| |
| {{quote|Originally a star chart, ship data and bounty management system, Galnet has evolved into an effective galactic infrastructure providing news, market pricing and acts as a communication system for pilots.|Official Description}}
| |
| The [[Pilots Federation]] derives the bulk of its wealth from the Galnet data network. Originally a system of ship, bounty and star-chart data, it evolved into an interstellar aggregator of market information and galactic news. By 3300, the Pilots Federation was not only the dominant provider of this information, it's also the main manufacturer of the hardware and software serving this data. Today, Pilots Federation systems are fitted as standard on virtually all independent starships and some militaries.<ref name=":0">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/579b28f89657ba0d4c598970 Galnet: The Origin of the Pilots Federation]</ref> Thus the Pilots Federation's Galnet system has a near monopoly on all shipboard and station embedded systems. The trusted nature and politically neutral stance of the Pilots Federation means there's little resistance to it.<ref name=":2" /> Over the centuries this allowed the Pilots Federation to grow into one of the dominant financial superpowers of the [[galaxy]].<ref name=":1">[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=f72c0f91b2 ''Elite Dangerous'' Newsletter #22]</ref>

| Galnet Audio is an option in the right [[HUD]] panel that allows Galnet reports to be automatically read aloud while a pilot is flying their [[Ships|ship]]. Selecting the "play" button will cause Galnet Audio to begin with the most recent report and progress backwards through the available reports. Alternatively, specific stories can be selected and queued for Galnet Audio through the original Galnet interfance.<ref name=":3">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/401255-Content-Recap-Beyond-Chapter-One-Livestream-(23-01-2018)-Part-3-Recap Content Recap - Beyond Chapter One Livestream (23.01.2018) - Part 3 Recap]</ref>
| |
| | |
| Galnet Audio will automatically pause and then resume during certain situations, such as combat or when initiating a jump to hyperspace.<ref name=":3" />
| |
| | |
| ==Notes==
| |
| *Local Galnet reports are occasionally interrupted or hacked by third parties, resulting in [[Compromised Carrier Signal]]s. These can be deciphered to receive secret messages.
| |
| *The Galnet Audio function was added with ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' Chapter One.
| |
| *On August 7, 2019, Community Manager Stephen Benedetti announced that Frontier Developments would be altering the format of Galnet going forward. The number of Galnet reports published would be reduced, with the remaining reports focused on in-game activities and significant narrative developments. The intent of this change was to eliminate Galnet's reliance on "off-camera" narratives which, although they provided a wider understanding of life in the ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' universe, had little or no relevance to gameplay.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/galnet-changes.519008/ Frontier Forums: Galnet changes]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/galnet-changes.519008/page-14#post-7949883 Frontier Forums: Galnet changes, post #262]</ref> This resulted in Galnet going on hiatus from January 15, 2020 to September 10, 2020, during which time Frontier Developments devised a new multi-arc narrative for Galnet that would extend into 2022.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/narrative-additions-and-dev-diary-faq.554346/ Frontier Forums: Narrative additions and Dev Diary FAQ]</ref>
