New York System

The New York system is the capital of Liberty space and one of the most traversed systems in all of the Sirius Sector. The system contains two settled planets (of which one has a uninhabited moon) and eleven bases. It also hosts five major corporations and four criminal organizations. There are Jump Gates and -Holes to five different systems, and the system orbits a single medium-sized white star. It is located near the center of Sirius and acts as a semi "crossroads" between the remaining lawful houses.

Pittsburgh Debris Field

A cloud of abandoned ships, parts, and other scrap pulled into Pittsburgh's gravity well from the Baltimore Shipyard over the centuries. The Pittsburgh Debris Field is frequently used as cover by Rogues who like to attack traffic in and out of Pittsburgh. The moon "Maine" is also located in the debris field.

Officially a classified Liberty Navy testing site. All information concerning Zone 21 is top-secret and the area is protected by a minefield to prevent trespassing. Any unauthorized ships attempting to breach the Zone 21 minefield or enter Zone 21 itself will be terminated without exception or exemption.

Notable events

The Manhattan Protest March

Often cited by critics of the Libertonian police and Navy, the Manhattan Protest March was a demonstration against Libertonian police brutality and fascism under the lead of Simon Reynolds. A convoy of civilians in trading vessels gathered in the nearby Connecticut System, their shields and weapons deactivated and stored on New Haven as a sign of their peaceful intentions, and began heading towards Manhattan, where they intended to block access to Manhattan's docking rings. Shortly after their arrival in the ecumenopolis's orbit however, they were halted by Liberty Navy officers, who accused Reynolds of being a traitor and everyone following him a criminal. When the Navy consecutively opened fire upon the protesters, at least 6 civilian vessels were confirmed to have been shot down; Simon Reynolds is believed to be still alive, and Samantha Fisher, his former first officer, is now wanted by the Libertonian government (which went as far as setting a bounty on her head) as they think she may possess knowledge regarding his current location.
