The New York system is the capital of [[Liberty|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.

Planetary Bodies

Planet Manhattan Location: D/4 Founded in the year 1 A.S., Manhattan was the first human colony established in the Sirius Sector. Over the last eight centuries it has grown into a teeming world of over 2.1 billion people who live and work in a number of large metropolises that dot the planet's surface. It still remains a bustling tourist destination, however, with many gorgeous sandy beaches and crowded shopping promenades. Diameter: 12,753 km. Mass: 5.98 x 10e24 kg. Terrain: Terrestrial Temperature: -46°C to 43°C Escape Velocity: 11.27 km/sec	Planet Manhattan
Planet Pittsburgh Location: F/2 Pittsburgh is covered by a single vast desert, broken only by large rocky outcroppings that were big enough to escape being swallowed up by the sand. Without any ice asteroids in close proximity, the planet was not considered a good candidate for terraforming and remained sparsely populated until a full-scale mineral survey in 650 A.S. pinpointed enormous deposits of Boron in the form of borax salts deep within the Corridera Plateau. A large scale mining operation was established on the planet in 660 A.S. by Deep Space Engineering to exploit these deposits, and it is now one of the only raw material extraction facility left within Liberty space. Diameter: 6,485 km. Mass: 4.73 x 10e24 kg. Terrain: Desert Temperature: -38°C to 69°C Escape Velocity: 9.04 km/sec	Planet Pittsburgh
Maine Location: F/2 Surveyed in 1 A.S. along with the rest of the New York system, Maine has never had any resources worth the effort to extract them, or enough atmosphere to allow any effective colonisation effort. Deep Space Engineering, who own the rights to Maine, sometimes lease it out to the Liberty Navy and Detroit Munitions, in order for them to conduct weapons testing on the planet.

Nebula and Asteroids

Badlands Location: D/6 >>>WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD<<< The Badlands is a particulate cloud filled with asteroids and subject to intense electrical activity that renders most scanners inoperable. Two government research stations, Bedford and Ithaca, were constructed here to study these unique environmental phenomena. However, the Badlands also provides a natural refuge for all types of criminal elements. The Battleship Missouri has since been deployed to protect Liberty interests in the area and deter pirate attacks against nearby Trade Lanes.	Badlands
Zone-21 Location: G/5 >>>WARNING: RESTRICTED AREA<<< All information concerning Zone 21 is CLASSIFIED by the Liberty Navy and the area protected by a minefield. Any unauthorized ships attempting to breach the Zone 21 minefield or enter Zone 21 itself will be nullified WITHOUT EXCEPTION OR EXEMPTION.	File:Zone-21.jpg Zone-21
Detroit Debris Field Location: C/5 An industrial dumping ground left over from early expansion efforts, it is now frequented by Junkers and Rogues.	Detroit Debris Field
Jersey Debris Field Location: C/3 A floating junkyard, the byproduct of orbital development around Manhattan. Some criminal activity is present, chiefly drug runners and smugglers, along with itinerant Junkers who comb the field looking for scrap and parts.	Jersey Debris Field
Pittsburgh Debris Field Location: F/3 A cloud of abandoned ships, parts, and other scrap pulled into the planet 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.	Pittsburgh Debris Field

Space Stations

Newark Station Location: C/4 Interspace Corporate was founded in 204 A.S. by Ageira and Deep Space Engineering, since they could pool the necessary capital in insurance and finance. Built in the same year, Newark Station is the local headquarters for the now renamed "Interspace Commerce" (IC), one of the largest financial concerns in the Sirius Sector. While Interspace was initially responsible for financing the construction of the vast Jump Gate and Trade Lane network that connects the various colonies, it was forced to divest itself of these holdings as a result of the Rheinland-Kusari Trade Embargo in 521 A.S. Class: Chasins Gravity: Complete Docking: Yes Amenities: Yes Population: 5K	Newark Station
Trenton Outpost Location: D/4 Trenton Outpost is the headquarters of Universal Shipping, one of the "Big Three" family of Liberty companies that also includes Ageira Technologies and Deep Space Engineering. Universal Shipping made its fortune by gambling on shipping silver from Colorado to California for use in terraforming Los Angeles, long before Jump Gates and Trade Lanes reduced the risk of transporting goods over such long distances. Universal then cemented its reputation as the premiere Liberty shipping company in 181 A.S. by signing a contract to handle all shipping between Ageira Technologies facilities and Deep Space Engineering construction sites. Class: Cochrane Gravity: Partial Docking: Yes Amenities: Yes Population: 1K	Trenton Outpost
Liberty Rogue Destroyer Location: F/3 The Liberty Rogue destroyer, dubbed the "Drunken Codger" by easily amused Liberty Rogue pilots who frequently use it to rearm and repair their vessels, was originally constructed at the Terre Haute Shipyard in the Cassini system in 812 A.S., with its primary function being the protection of the shipyard facilities there. Class: Scylla Gravity: Yes Docking: Yes Amenities: Yes Population: Unknown	File:Liberty Rogue Destroyer.jpg Liberty Rogue Destroyer
Battleship Missouri Location: F/5 The Battleship Missouri is the flagship of the Liberty Navy. Commissioned in 799 A.S., the Missouri has state-of-the-art weaponry and is constructed around a unique triple-hulled design that incorporates integrated armour plating. The armour plating is specially manufactured in the Norfolk Shipyards for the Liberty Navy using a classified, proprietary process. Class: Overlord Crew: CLASSIFIED Armament: CLASSIFIED	Battleship Missouri
Norfolk Shipyard Location: F/5 Class: Alabama Gravity: Partial Docking: Yes Amenities: Yes Population: 9K	Norfolk Shipyard
West Point Military Academy Location: C/5 Class: Military Gravity: CLASSIFIED Docking: CLASSIFIED Amenities: CLASSIFIED Population: CLASSIFIED	West Point Military Academy
Detroit Munitions Location: B/4 Detroit is the headquarters for Detroit Munitions, one of the oldest privately owned companies in Liberty. Detroit has been manufacturing small- and medium-sized arms since its founding by patriarch Ed Garner in 614 A.S. His name still graces the company's most popular line of blasters, despite the occasional attempt by an Ageira executive to have his own name imprinted onto a weapons line. Class: Ford Gravity: Partial Docking: Yes Amenities: No Population: 1K	Detroit Munitions
Fort Bush Location: E/3 Class: Goliath Gravity: Complete Docking: Yes Amenities: Yes Population: 5K	Fort Bush
Baltimore Shipyard Location: E/3 Baltimore Shipyard was originally constructed by Deep Space Engineering in 699 A.S., after they moved their headquarters to the planet Pittsburgh. The shipyard is known for its quality manufacturing processes on the construction of numerous vessels, including civilian liners and yachts, and even a number of smaller craft such as the "Chesapeake" class shuttle. Class: Delaware Gravity: Partial Docking: Yes Amenities: Yes Population: 9K	Baltimore Shipyard
Buffalo Base Location: E/7 The Rogues are a product of over two centuries of systematic lower-class cleansing that occurred on the Liberty planets of Manhattan, Denver, and Los Angeles. Relocated to the Texas prison system, many of them end up planetside on Houston upon release. Some stayed straight and joined the population scratching out a living. The rest returned to their life of crime, often ending up vaporized by a pursuing Liberty police patrol or back in prison for longer stretches, manning the prison factories that are the economic lifeblood of the Texas system. Class: Leviathan Gravity: Complete Docking: Yes Amenities: Limited Population: Unknown	File:Buffalo Base.jpg Buffalo Base
Rochester Base Location: D/3 Where there's junk, there are the Junkers. They've been around since the earliest days of the Trade Lanes. Descended from the working classes, they developed within the House systems as a sort of necessary evil, handling the dirty work that no one else would. They do well salvaging valuable materials from the ever-increasing debris fields throughout Sirius, with the notable exception of Kusari. To this day they remain held at bay by the Hogosha.

Mineable Commodities

Scrap Metal

Location: F/3, F/3, C/5, C/5, C/3

The rapid industrialization that followed the settlement of the Sirius Sector has resulted in large fields of Scrap Metal, the detritus resulting from extensive manufacturing and mining operations. These debris fields present both a navigational hazard and a potential second-stage resource, so a small cottage industry has sprung up among those who collect scrap metal and resell it at smelting plants.
