APPEARANCE:
The Editor in Chief is an average brown wookiee with well trimmed fur. Almost. He wears a suit at expensive events, cufflinks are not optional. His many staff come in a variety of styles, but usually look like you'd expect a reporter to look. Stupid, too clever for their own good, or just very involved and serious. Almost always carrying recording equipment on them. The editor himself often brings a datapad for legal purposes and for when, not if, he gets slapped with lawsuits. A shotgun is sometimes a good idea as well. He has a collection of hats, which receives a fair amount of mockery, mockery he enjoys roaring at.
BIOGRAPHY:
A small company called Vers started out at a particularly uninteresting workshed in D.A Vers backyard, their broadcasts originally rose to fame in exporting Feline Videos to the Holonet. Quickly these impressive species went viral, and broke their makeshift computer systems by receiving too much attention. Deciding to go with an AI as a choice to manage their facilities, it eventually went rogue and killed the two editors at the time, because it decided feline videos and felines in general were a threat to galactic stability. D and A vers, just became Vers, a popular holosite but a rather pointless one. Their mother took over. After news of this tragic event broke galaxy-wide Vers received a lot of sympathy, donations and further requests for Feline Videos. To the shock of her fanbase at the time, the mother of the Vers twins eventually started showing not only Feline videos but also the history and news of felines in the wider galaxy.
Thus the basis of the GNN was formed, shedding and breaking with its troubled past and the Vers name. The success with the vers-pets holosite empire financed Mrs. Vers to begin branch out, and expand into other areas. As she hired other reporters and expanded her operation, it went from a workshed operation to a small warehouse, to a large skyscraper, and now to an inter-galactic news agency. It was around the time of the expanding warehouse that LB MB Gator was put in charge, why is uncertain, he had been a security guard till that point. Often falling asleep at his front desk and failing to follow up reports on suspected break-ins, for all intents and purposes LB MB Gator is a terrible editor and not much of a wookiee either.
Yet under LB MB Gator, in modern times, the GNN have had a varied history around the galaxy. Covering the One Sith, The Galactic Alliance, as well as the Hutt Cartel's rise and fall. LB MB Gator is a rarely seen figure himself, often working under aliases that sound more important than they are. It's true the news can be dismissed easily, or just shot at if you prefer, however, there is an inherent advantage in having them on your side when it comes to public opinion. They do tend to remain neutral these days, unless shot at too much, giving them access to a wider variety of potential stories and interviews that previously.
Gator enjoys fancy parties, spending too much money and over indulging himself at every opportunity, known around the office as Thunder Fur for how often he's snoring asleep on the job. It goes without saying he lets his co workers handle most of the reporting, much of the writing, and most of everything. He does like the comic section and sometimes draws a holo-sketch.
The editor some suspect is, in fact, a few people working behind a desk, officially however he is a Wookiee, in a suit, that roars with decorum and style
SHIP:

KILLS:
Many a Career
BOUNTIES COLLECTED:
