<br> | <br> | ||
| + | There have been several key events in Freedom City's history. Two are of particular worth of note. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | * 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> | ||
| + | [[Image:Hr Freedom-City--New-Jersey.jpg|frame|Location of [[Freedom_City_Map|Freedom City]] within [[Wikipedia:New Jersey|New Jersey]] ]] | ||
| + | * 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> | ||
