Welkred Communications
Founded by Janoos Welkred during the Terran Republic, Welkred Communications was the first interstellar media firm. Funded by Welkred and other Republic patriots as an effort to counter the intense propaganda and disinformation campaigns of Veltrane Fres Volon and his Confederation Party, the Corp quickly evolved into a trusted and popular source of news among the burgeoning Imperial Home Worlds.
The firm was an early adopter of the Hagurin Character Set and many cite its usage as a key factor in [Sedren Tawmerik](/macropedia/sedren-tawmerik)’s decision to make it the official written language of the Imperium. Welkred Communications was the primary media outlet for the majority of Imperium citizens until well into the Dabrian Dynasty.
