This amazing island was created some time ago by a being of god-like power called the Outsider in 1955. The United States of America annexed Star Island after the Outsider was defeated and began a very expensive and high-profile scientific study of the island and its amazing ability to spawn superhumans. Two years of study at the taxpayers’ expense found no particularly useful results so it was sold off in parcels to the highest bidder.
Exactly why the Outsider created the island Star City now sits on, why so many superpowered beings are spawned here, is a mystery your team may unravel.
Star City is home to around six million citizens, and growing by the numbers, as more and more people come to the city of wonders.
Star City lies two miles off the coast of the eastern seaboard of the United States of America, about halfway between Boston and New York City (New York), and is roughly six times the size of Manhattan (180 square miles). Other than the fact that Star City is home to an inordinate number of superbeings, the island seems completely normal.
Star City is in fact shaped like an eight-pointed star. Four large points alternate with four smaller points surrounding the large central sections called Uptown and Downtown. Each of the points forms a subsection of the city. The large points are known by their compass counterparts: Northpoint, Eastpoint, Southpoint, and Westpoint. The small points have the more colloquial names of Bright Beach, Tempest (SE), the Docks (SW), and Prospect Point (NW). The central area of the city is divided into two subsections: the aforementioned Uptown to the north and Downtown to the south.
Star City connects to the Eastern seaboard of the United States of America via an amazing bridge, also built by the Outsider. Christened the Sea Bridge, this miraculous two-mile span has weathered powerful Atlantic currents, high winds, and even two super-powered terrorist attacks.
