Channel 1, also known as Channel One, served as a dedicated HoloNet channel for the New Republic's governmental use.
During critical situations or for important announcements, the Ruling Council, the President, or the Fleet High Command possessed the authority to activate Channel 1. This activation would transmit their message across all HoloNet nodes and channels, effectively overriding any pre-existing scheduled content.
Nil Spaar orchestrated a successful Yevethan hack of Channel 1's transmission, enabling the broadcast of a speech throughout the New Republic. This speech cautioned potential invaders against aggression and condemned President Leia Organa Solo, threatening war as a consequence. Turat Il Feen, the second-shift supervisor, was unable to prevent the signal piracy and abandoned his post in dismay, understanding the potential for demotion to grid installation duties.
