The DataNet

The DataNet continued the storyline of Allegiance. After every Zone Game a new DataNet post was created, where you could find the best players of the game and also the consequences of the game result to the storyline. These battle reports were interspersed with other reports; fleet movements, PR campaigns, and faction politics.

Somewhere between military secrecy, corporate shilling, and pirate anarchy lies the truth. The discovery and dissemination of such truths is the primary mission of the DataNet. Undercover DataNet "commando journalists" study press releases, track ship and troop movements, and even launch covert data raids to find the secrets of the various human factions. This information is inserted into existing data networks, acting like an old Earth computer virus. DataNet is the only unbiased news outlet available since Earth's destruction.

The DataNet is about delivering the truth, not serving deceit or propaganda.

That was the first and original posting of the DataNet. BETA testers and staff supplied the postings of major games, events and changes. If you are an old BETA tester or release player, you will recognize some names and events mentioned in the DataNet Volumes.
