Synopsis
The New York system is the capital of Liberty space and the largest system 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.
Areas of Interest
Detroit Debris Field
An industrial dumping ground left over from early expansion efforts, it is now frequented by Junkers and Rogues.
Jersey Debris Field
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.
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.
Zone 21
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.
The Badlands
"The Badlands" is the nickname for 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 provide 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.
Disabled Magellan Jump Gate
Deemed as too unstable for most ships due to construction errors, the Jump Gate connecting New York with the Magellan System was disabled shortly after it's construction, and has since been used only on rare occasions. Currently, it is rumored that Ageira has been silently working on the gate to reroute it's ending point.
