Information communication at the mature stage of the Interstellar Voyage era was naturally very rapid. However as the region was truly too broad and the information being too voluminous, other than some mainstream Federation level or Milky Alliance news, most of the news would only stay within the surrounding star region.
Any piece of news that could spread throughout the main countries of Milky Way Alliance in a short period of time would mean that was a big incident!
If it was commercial news, one needed to pay even more information to it.
In the past when KING Company was successful in the Spatial project, the truth was the news just touched on it. The coverage on it also wasn't big. This was because even if it could be transferred for civilian use, what would it be used on? It was also unknown how far it could be applied.
