CAMPAIGN CONNECTIONS


Necessary Evil in Freedom City Setting Background

Location of Freedom City within New Jersey

Set on the east coast of the United States - New Jersey - Freedom City's history dates back to colonial times when superhero first appeared there during the Revolutionary War. People with super-powers have existed throughout Earth’s history, but have become more prominent and numerous since the late 1930s. Freedom City is a particular epicenter for superhumans, but they are found in other cities and places around the world.

There have been several key events in Freedom City's history. Two are of particular worth of note.

  • 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.
    For Freedom to survive, she needs heroes...
  • The second became known as Star-Khan's Reign of the entire planet Earth!! It started just ten years later on January 1st, 2004. 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…
    The first ships appeared over every major city of the planet.
    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.
    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, aliens, 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.
    Earth began to worry.
