|description = 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 [[Maine|uninhabited moon]]) and eleven bases. It also hosts five major corporations and four criminal organizations. There are [[Jump Gate|Jump Gates]] and [[Jump Hole|-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.

"The Badlands" is the nickname for a particular dark matter cloud filled with asteroids and subject to intense electrical activity that renders most scanners inoperable. Two government research stations, [[Benford Research Station|Benford]] and [[Ithaca Research Station|Ithaca]], were constructed there to study these unique environmental phenomena. However, the Badlands also provide a natural refuge for all types of [[Liberty Rogues|criminal elements]]. The [[Battleship Missouri]] has since been deployed to protect Liberty interests in the area and deter pirate attacks against nearby [[Trade Lanes]].

Originally a Jump Gate connecting the New York system to the [[Magellan]] system, this gate was deemed to unstable by [[Ageira]] and abandoned soon afterwords. In early 817 [[A.S.]], it was towed to it's current location by the wreck of [[Ithaca Research Station]], where it was repaired and re-routed so it would end in the Pennsylvania system, which until recently had been mostly ignored by the Liberty government.

===The Manhattan Protest March===
 
−
Often cited by critics of the Libertonian [[Liberty Police Incorporated|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|Connecticut System]], their shields and weapons deactivated and stored on [[New Haven Station|New Haven]] as a sign of their peaceful intentions, and began heading towards Manhattan, where they intended to block access to [[Planet Manhattan|Manhattan's]] [[Docking Ring|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.

The New York system is the capital of House Liberty and one of the most populated areas of the entire Sirius Sector. Centered around a relatively cool G8-class star not unlike the sun of the Sol System are two fully habitable and colonized planets, Manhattan and Pittsburgh. The latter also features a moon, Maine. Further locations of interest include nine permanent space stations (of which one is home to the Liberty Rogues and another owned by the Junkers), two stationary capital-sized ships with full docking facilities, the mysterious Badlands and the enigmatic Zone 21.

The system's geography is dominated by the many scrap fields that arose from years of industrial exploitation. Named after the former States of Detroit and New Jersey and the City of Pittsburgh, they are frequented by corporate clean-up crews, self-employed salvagers as well as the occasional pirate or smuggler. The system's deep south is home to the already mentioned Badlands, a peculiar dark matter cloud which used to be home to two research stations, Benford and Ithaca, until external circumstances forced them to be abandoned by their crews.

New York is host to five major corporations and countless pirate outfits preying on them. There are jump gates and holes to four different systems. Located near the Sector Core, it is frequently used as central point of reference by map-makers across Sirian space, a fact which the Liberty Government is eager to promote.
