Editing World of Project VIGILANCE (section)

==Setting Notes of the World==
* '''The ‘Vigilance’ Act of 1971''' – passed under the Nixon Administration, this Act was in response to increased Metahuman activities across the U.S., both costumed vigilantes and villains. The act created two federal agencies; the ''Federal Office of Metahuman Control'' (FOMC) and the ''Federal Investigations and Security Headquarters'' (FISH), who were tasked with creating a coordinated response from so-called ‘masked heroes’. FISH would sponsor teams of superheroes in major cities around the country. In agreeing to responding U.S. government requests for aid (if available and capable), FISH would provide these semi-independent teams with money for a base of operation and equipment (basically the ‘team’ will get so many Equipment Points for free that could be spend on a Headquarters, Vehicles, and minor equipment like communicators, night goggles, etc). FISH would also then provide these team legal representation and insures to cover any expenses they might incur while acting on the governments behalf. Team members are allowed to maintain a secret identity, only need to file their ‘supers’ name with the government. Those metahumans who do not register with the government in this way are subject to fines, incarceration, revelations of their true identities if apprehended and are denied access to government faculties and resources in all cases.  

* '''FOMC''' – Federal Office of Metahuman Control is based out of Washington DC and coordinates metahuman laws and legal issues. They present detailed reports every quarter to a Senate Subcommittee on Metahuman Activity over the last quarter, budget issues for themselves and FISH, and response and research any laws or bills dealing with metahumans.

* '''FISH''' – Federal Investigations and Security Headquarters is the elite federal agency that deals mostly with the metahuman community most directly. Their operate off of one of three Super-Flying Carriers code-named ''Hammerheads'' (think of them as Marvel’s SHIELD, and the Flying Fortresses). Headed by General Marcus Hammer, the agency projects stability to the general population of the U.S. in controlling (or at least containing) the metahuman population (and they also run the various federal metahuman prisons in the U.S.). They also have offices in Washington DC and every city where there is a Project VIGINANCE sponsored team. They can provide access to federal databases and files on known meta-villains, along with agent support in cases of emergency. They run the six Meta-Human Prisons spread around the country and also the Super-Max Meta-Prison located at Area 51 on the salt flats of NV.
