	Known Heroes, Groups, & Organizations HEROES In addition to the missing Guardians, several independent heroes are known to operate in the US. These include, but are not limited to: The Canadian heroes Redline, Bluejay, and Firebird, as well as the UK based Cloudburst and Hurricane. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES & ORGANIZATIONS A.D.E.P.T. Advanced Developments and Experimental Projects Team "Improvise, Adapt, Overcome, and Dominate." ADEPT's stated purpose is to develop new technologies such as exotic metals, and advanced communications equipment. It's true purpose is exploiting alien technologies, mostly reverse engineered tech, for the benefit of the US military. Their acknowledged research facilities are located in California and Nevada, although it's believed, that there are several other secret test facilities at various other locations throughout the US. M.I.D.A.S. Multi-Use Integrated Digital Access System MIDAS is ADEPT's top secret computer database. It's where it's staff members catalog the information they've amassed on the projects they've developed over the years. Access to the system is primarily restricted to DOD and intelligence agency personnel, although some information is shared with key allies, such as the UK and Israel. Bureau of Special Investigations BSI The characters will primarily be dealing with the government, through the Dept. of Homeland Security's Bureau of Special Investigations, or BSI for short. BSI is the government agency responsible for dealing with superhumans, paranormal activity, and crimes/activities beyond the means of other federal law enforcement agencies. They have regional offices located in most major metropolitan areas. BSI's Empire City field office is one of the largest in the county, with well over 200 agents, and several hundred support staff working there. In addition to handling their own case loads, several agents are assigned to a joint BSI/ECPD task force. The office is headed by Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Natalie Wright. She was recently promoted to the position, after the former SAC, Joshua Litton, accepted a position as the Deputy Director for Training. While she may be new to the job, she's not new to the game. She's been with the agency for just over 10 years, and brings plenty of experience to the position. C.O.R.E. The Center for Observation, Research, and Exploration C.O.R.E. is an offshoot of NASA, primarily funded by the US Department of Defense, that is primarily concerned with the search for extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional life, as well as developing technologies that would allow us to make contact with them. Stone Mountain Correctional Center The first of the specially designed so-called "super prisons", built to specifically to hold the nation's large population of metahuman criminals. Overwatch Overwatch is the officially sanctioned US government super team. Unlike the Guardans, its members are all members of the US military, government contractors, or federal law enforcement officials. INTERNATIONAL TEAMS & GOVERNMENT AGENCIES Bureau 13 The 13eme Bureau du le Ministre de L’Interier, or "Le Bureau" as it's informally referred to by the general populance, is the French Republic's answer to what they have come to call "extra normal" incidents, on French soil. The Bureau's agents have powers similar to the the Gendarmerie Nationale, in that they are both a law enforcement agencies, with military duties. Dept. 88 Department 88, is Japan's answer to BSI. Their "Men in Black" ensure the safety of the Japanese homeland, against superhuman, alien, and paranormal threats. Japanese Special Defense Agency The Japanese Special Defense Agency (JSDA) is Dept. 88's parent organization, overseeing both Dept. 88 and the Japanese Special Defense Force. Japanese Special Defense Force A paramilitary organization created to handle threats such as alien invasions or repel attacks by one of the many Kaiju known to inhabit the islands and waters off the Japanese mainland. The SECURE Network The SECURE Network is a loose association of European intelligence, law enforcement, and security agencies, that share information on superhuman, paranormal, and supernatural threats. When it began, it was nothing more than a way for agencies to share information over the fledgling internet, and was primarily composed of Western European nations, but over the past few years, several former Eastern Bloc nations have joined.

	I haven't been reading this much since I am not getting involved but it really is excellent. I love the idea of the magazine for supers. "Capes". If we really did have Heroes and Villians( other than myself of course ) that magazine would have been out within the first year of their existence and be making a fortune.

	Just letting you guys know that I've added a little additional info, and reorganized a few items to make them easier to find & read. Also, I've having a bit of trouble coming up with names for EC's MLB and NFL teams. The baseball team would have been around forever, and I'm trying to come up with a name that would have fit them back in the 20's or 30's. The NFL team's been around since the 50's, but I'm stuck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

	For the baseball teams in the 20's and 30's. The majority of the teams picked a characteristic of the team or its team's owner. The Red Sox and White Socks both came from the clothing. The A's because they originally were an Atheletic Club. The Dodgers came about because in order to get to the Brooklyn team you have to cross Trolley tracks. So they were orginally referred to as the "Trolley Car Dodgers" and over time shorten to Dodgers today. Lastly the Giants and Yankees were also around. You could play off the sock motiff with Gray Socks or Blue Socks. You could decide where the stadium is and see if there is a historical landmark which could be played off - like the wharf or trade center or the first skyscraper was built.

Examples are the Raiders, Steelers, Patriots, Redskins, Browns (name of team owner), Oilers, and Vikings. They also choose names for animals linked to the region: Eagels, Cardinals, Bears, Colts, and Lions. Possible EC names could be Sentries, Sentinels, Watchmen, Guardsmen, Longshoremen, Hardhats, or Imperials.

	Sorry, not much of a sports fan, I certainly don't have the kind of trivia Cougar is throwing out there, so I'll leave it to the pro's. I do have a question, I'm reading through the original descriptions, and I'm having trouble identifying what has been updated. Is there any way you can identify updates? Maybe Italics or something? I just end up reading everything again, and some stuff seems new to me, but I'm not sure if I just didn't catch it the first time or if it's new. Either way, it's a good read.

If so, let me know.

Actually I like the name Imperials for their MLB team. It is very useable for MLB as well. In the same time period you had the Yankees and the Giants Here are the teams in 1920 There were 16 teams in MLB during the 1920s, eight in each league. American League: Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Athletics (now Oakland Athletics), Washington Nationals (now Minnesota Twins), Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, and St. Louis Browns (now Baltimore Orioles). National League: Boston Braves(now Atlanta Braves), New York Giants(now San Francisco Giants), Brooklyn Robins (now Los Angeles Dodgers), Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, and Cincinnati Reds. The Empire City Imperials fits very well.

	I have a question, the Guardians old HQ is it located in Empire City? If so...whats been done with it? You initial part of this thread says its been two weeks ago...but its said that for almost a year now... lol. How much time has actually passed with the Guardians gone? I'm still looking for Thunderbolt to ...make secure his own Headquarters... but game pace keeps that perpetually on the back burner. I don't think I've done anything worth an xp so advancement to spend invention points is still a distant option.

	As far as you, and the general public, are concerned, the Guardian's HQ is still abandoned. BSI has been VERY tight lipped about exactly what its status is, and what's been going on there. As far as how much time has passed since the Guardians left is still being left open, but you can safely figure a month to two weeks. On T-Bolt's XP, trust me when I say you'll be gaining some VERY shortly.

	I'm adding a quick update to cover some of the people you guys have run into so far. Anvil – Superpowered enforcer for the Leonetti Family Death Warrant (formerly Nemesis) – Professional assassin, currently working for the Jade Dragon Asian crime syndicate. The Servants of Set – An ancient Middle Eastern based cult, not seen in decades.

Inside Investigation A new investigative TV program that looks to "expose" "questionable activities of corrupt politicians, greedy corporations, etc. They've gotten into hot water with several of EC organized crime families as their investigations have shed light on some of their more low key criminal activities. You can be darn sure Stalker will be watching this show close

Will you be posting story of how the campaign unfolds? I for one would be interested in how this story plays out. I'll be posting "issue" summaries as the game progresses. I'm hoping to be able to kick this off next week. Did this ever happen, D? It would be an awesome tool to familiarize myself with the campaign. Unfortunately no, I got sidetracked, and never got back to it.

	DSumner, I wanted to take this opportunity to pass my thanks on to you for having posted your Empire City write-ups; my brothers and I started a new V&V campaign again last week - our first in about three or four years - and I rather unceremoniously ripped off the name of your campaign city as a place for us to situate ourselves (I decided I did not want to have Toronto as a place-setting again; I'd like to be able to wreak havoc on a city and not have it contradicted by the evening news). I'd briefly considered using M&M's Freedom City, but wanted to avoid any association with what ended up being a rather painful and unhappy gaming situation for us. As my working day extends to ten or twelve hours - not including volunteer work I do - your expansions on Empire City have provided a wonderful place for ideas to start germinating. I look forward to the eventual .pdf, and wish you all the best in your ongoing world-building. Sincerely, and with admiration, Tempest

	No worries, and trust me when I say I know all too well about long work days. I drive 45 minutes to work (if I don't get stuck in traffic, then work a 12.5 hour work day (plus we rotate every month, one month on days, one month on nights), I also work off duty, I'm in the Army National Guard, and have my kids every other weekend. In my spare time, I sleep. On a more serious note, feel free to grab whatever you want, as it's the reason I post this stuff.
