What happens here in Star City determines whether the V'sori are defeated — or the reluctant fighters of Omega meet their final doom.So, why wasn't it destroyed by the invaders when all the other major cities of the world were left as smoking ruins? Nobody knows, but only some missles hit eastpoint, the rest of it was left untouched.[sblock=Northpoint]Northpoint is the much vilified home to many humans who have gone over to the V’sori in order to preserve their safety and way of life. Northpoint is comprised of a series of upper-class suburbs and gated communities.Since Perez and other community leaders are viewed as targets by human rebels and Omega, Northpoint is frequently patrolled by SOCorp Operatives. Anyone attempting to make trouble in Northpoint will have to deal with a number of SOCorp police vans screaming their way. Even superhumans have learned to fear SOCorp when they come in force.[/sblock][sblock=Beachhead]The V'sori base houses the K'tharen strike squads as well as a number of Warlords and Battle-Masters.Over 1000 drones are present and somewhere around 144 fins, depending on what’s going on at any given time.[/sblock][sblock=Eastpoint]The blue-collar workers who make up most of this section’s population quickly settled back into doing their jobs when the V’sori promised not to blast them and their families to atoms. Hatred fumes beneath their complacency, however, and is fanned constantly by Richard Lyons, the head of the so-called "Eastpoint Insurgents".It may seem peaceful to the V'sori but Eastpoint is a powder keg ready to blow into full scale revolt.[/sblock][sblock=Tempest]Tempest is a rough part of town — or so it appears. The gangs that cover this district are actually part of a very subtle neighborhood watch program run by Jenna Jakes — aka the Watcher.Jakes' power is one of seduction and manipulation, so she’s managed to pull together not only those gangers who might actually want to help, but those who are a bit more “reluctant” as well.[/sblock][sblock=Southpoint]Southpoint was a social experiment gone awry, the result of a prisoner relocation and release program that placed nonviolent, mainly drug-related offenders in government-funded tenements. Without proper supervision and follow-up programs, the one-time prisoners became easy pickings for the neighborhood's criminal element, and soon fell back into their old ways. Drugs are by far the neighborhood’s greatest problem, with perhaps half the adults in the community addicted to alcohol or some sort of narcotic.[/sblock][sblock=The Docks]A smuggler's haven.[/sblock][sblock=Westpoint]Westpoint is a massive sprawl of factories, water treatment plants, and electrical relays.Rumors abound that the V'sori can "listen" through the power lines and taint the water with drugs to make people docile.[/sblock][sblock=Prospect Point]This elevated point of land is the most secure place on the entire island for the V'sori. Here they are surrounded by large concentrations of their fellows, including a veritable army of drones, patrolling SOCorps, and a K'tharen strike team. High-security walls, auto-targeting lasers (for aerial threats), and hidden infrared sensors round out the community’s defenses from the occasional superbeings.[/sblock][sblock=Uptown]The rich and powerful of Star City still cling to the hope that the aliens will grow tired of the earth and leave. Those who pledged themselves to the V'sori try to maintain their lives as they were before the invasion. Those who refused, lost everything.[/sblock][sblock=Downtown]The Mag-Lev winds its way through the dark and dingy streets of Downtown Star City, providing a high-tech contrast to the dark stone and gothic architecture of this gloomy district. V’sori drone patrols often ride random trains, dissuading attacks on the line, and allowing for the efficient transport of the city's denizens to and from work and home.[/sblock][/sblock]</blockquote>
