Welcome to the PROJECT VIGILANCE campaign wiki. This wiki site is a resource for a face-to-face tabletop superhero role-playing game using the M&M system called "PROJECT VIGILANCE". This site is a wiki which is a web page that can be editted by anyone with surfing the web! The goal of this wiki site is to form a repository of information about our game that is easily accessible and edittable to the entire game group. A "campaign series bible".

PROJECT VIGILANCE
The world of V&V Prime is very much like our own... with a heavy dose of DC/Marvel events thrown in. The U.S. government in the 1970's started sponsoring Super-Teams for different cities.
Project VIGILANCE The famous teams being used right now are the Crusaders (L.A.) and the Centurions (New York City). Recently, the L.A. team, the Crusaders have disappeared! You team is sent to find out what has happened to them…
It seems some previously unknown terrorist group, calling themselves FORCE is blackmailing the US government for 10 Billion dollars. If the ransom is not paid within 48 hours, their will release a Retro-Virus Super-Flu somewhere within the heartland of America. Your team is brought in to help out…

LOCATIONS OF INTEREST
the City of Seattle
- the Space Tether (formerly the Seattle City Center Space Needle): The tether at the top of the re-fit Space Needle isn't hooked to a station in geosynchronous orbit itself (traditionally anchored at the equator) but to a "statite" (stationary satellite) that uses solar sails to "hover" at a point directly above the Needle at all times. Passengers and cargo ride an elevator (called a climber) to the statite, where they can enjoy a meal, lounge around in micro-g, rent laboratory space, transfer to a docked spaceship, sabotage the solar power plant (if you're of the villainous mentality), or just enjoy the view! The whole system is run jointly by the Seattle Port Authority and Seattle City Light.
Although the instilation of the Space Tether in the Pacific Northwest was extreme (due to the need a more active drive system than a solar sail would provide to compensate for rotation, unlike ones positioned at the poles) the investment groups believed in the program and funded the project to great return.
Laws of physics would require the tether heading off no less than a 47 degree angle due south, however to maintain the clean skyline citizens of the Emerald City have grown accustomed to, the electric currents running through the tether have been engineered to use electro-dynamically to bind the structure to Earth's magnetic field. There's also plenty of solar energy to power ion thrusters to provide backup to the tether. This effect does unfortunately create a field following the tube of electro-dynamic energy dangerous to mechanical interferance and persons without proper insulation gear.
