===Notable areas, landmarks, institutions and businesses=== '''Freedom City''' Located on the east coast of the United States, New Jersey - Freedom City's history dates back to colonial times when super heroes first appeared there during the Revolutionary War. People with super-powers have existed throughout Earth’s history, but have become more prominent and numerous in the waning years of the 20th Century. Catastrophic events have always befallen Freedom City, in the past it's heroes protected it from conquerors such as the extra-dimensional tyrant known as Omega, who has launched invasion attempts on the city in the past but has yet to maintain a beachead. No one had, until the alien traitors came to earth! * [[A Necessary Evil VISITOR'S GUIDE to Freedom City]]: ''(working)'' * [[Necessary Evil in Freedom City ENCYCLOPEDIA]]: ''(working)'' There have been several key events in Freedom City's history. Two are of particular worth of note. [[Image:Hr Freedom-City--New-Jersey.jpg|frame|Location of [[Freedom_City_Map|Freedom City]] within [[Wikipedia:New Jersey|New Jersey]] <br> [http://64.17.155.164/files/FreedomCityMap.pdf Freedom City MAP 1st Edition] <br> [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Freedom_City_Map Freedom City MAP 2nd Edition] ]] * The first occured during what became known as '''the [[Terminus Invasion]]'''. The extra-dimensional tyrant known as [[Omega]] launched an invasion of the city, resulting in vast destruction and the deaths of several superheroes; including [[Centurion]]. The largest alliance of heroes ever seen united to repel the invaders. [[Mayor O’Connor]] repeals the [[Moore Act]], making superheroes legal in Freedom City once again. A grateful city welcomes their return with open arms. But Freedom City and the world mourn the loss of their greatest hero. <br> For Freedom to survive, she needs heroes...<br> * The second became known as '''[[Star-Khan]]'s Reign''' of the entire planet Earth!! It started just eleven years later on January 1st, 2005. The prospering Freedom League had just built a satellite headquarters dubbed “[[the Lighthouse]]” and greatly expanded its ranks to act as guardians of the entire world. [[Freedom Hall]] would become the team’s local outpost in Freedom City. And then… <br> The first ships appeared over every major city of the planet. <br> There was no prelude and no demands. The aliens just attacked. They were an amphibious protean, shape-shifting species from the dark planet [[Grue Prime]] that combined the nastiest aspects of sharks and crocodiles with an aggression matched by neither. They were the stuff of nightmares to most. People called them "[[Fins]]” with an entire [[Grue Unity]] made up of a number of client races ruled by the Grue with an iron fist and the aid of legions of soldier drones. The Unity’s technology, advanced, but largely stolen or mimicked from other civilizations they have assimilated. New York became a war zone, Tokyo burned, and even sunken [[Atlantis]] was rubbled and its ruler—the legendary the [[Sea King]]—slain. <br> Earth’s superheroes fought back immediately. The Fins were terrifying, but no one ever doubted the heroes would win out in the end. After all - the [[Grue]], other aliens, meglomaniacal masterminds, even [[Omega]] Lord of Terminus had tried to invade Earth many times before, and earth’s defenders had always emerged triumphant. The [[Freedom League]] and its allies—including numerous reserve and inactive members—manage to hold off the alien fleet. But the Fins possessed advanced technology and savage bloodlust, so the losses were heavy. <br> Earth began to worry.<br> ====Neighborhoods & Boroughs of Freedom City==== * '''[[DOWNTOWN]]''' ** [[The Waterfront]]: Humans connection to the outside world.
