History

Behemoth Attack

Repelled the Endbringer with manageable damage

Golden Morning

New York’s forcefields went up slightly too early, and were knocked down by Scion's attack. A third of the city was destroyed, with 2.2 million estimated deaths<ref name="27.2">Extinction 27.2</ref>. This was largly laid at Saint's feet for not activating the force-fields correctly.

Known residents

• The New York Protectorate Team
  • Legend (former leader)<ref>Legend – Leader of the Protectorate. Runs the team based in New York. Is one of the best, if not the best ‘flying artillery’ capes, with flight and unsurpassed versatility and power from the lasers he can emanate from his body. Among other things, his lasers can turn corners, fork into multiple lasers, pass through walls and freeze or ignite his targets. He has recently left the Protectorate’s Triumvirate. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
  • Chevalier (leader)<ref>Weaver spoke up, “I noted Shatterbirds and Burnscars leaving, some Damsels, bunch of others I didn’t catch, but they had weapons and I’m thinking Winter or Crimson. There were some I parsed as hostages, but it’s only in retrospect that I’m thinking they were Nice Guys.”
    
    “The second group made their way to New York.”
    
    “Bonesaw and a captive Nilbog that’s apparently rigged to create things on demand,” Weaver said. “Crawlers, Breeds and a handful of others I didn’t identify.”
    
    Chevalier reacted to that, flinching.
    
    His city, Golem thought. - Excerpt from Interlude 26a</ref><ref name="prism2"/>
  • Prism<ref>Prism and Battery went after Mannequin. Prism split into three copies of herself, complete with fireproof suit, closing in as Battery used her power to cross the distance and trade blows. I was only peripherally aware of Prism, given how she was based in New York, but seeing her in action reminded me of how she operated. - Excerpt from Prey 14.6</ref> (second in command)<ref name="prism2">“In the lead, we have Prism, second in command of the New York team,” Defiant told me.
    
    Prism’s lips flattened into a tight line as she looked at me. We’d met, at the Mayor’s house. She’d been one of Legend’s people. I supposed that Chevalier would have wanted someone who knew the city and the routines as his second in command. - Excerpt from Drone 23.1</ref>
  • Adamant (formerly)<ref>I studied Adamant and Sere while I waited. Adamant, naturally, wore a metallic costume, featuring metal bands and panels that were loosely linked together by chains, fit over a black bodysuit. He’d been at the fight against Leviathan, if I remembered right. He was a member of Legend’s team in New York. Or he had been. Legend was gone now. - Excerpt from Chrysalis 20.2</ref>
  • Astrologer<ref>He faked a high society woman’s laugh, where the laugh was said as much as it was uttered. A cape nearby, one I recognized as Astrologer from the New York team, shot us a dirty look, before she returned to calling down projectiles from the sky. - Excerpt from Scourge 19.7</ref>
  • Cache<ref>Cache – A New York cape working under Legend, Cache wears a black costume, and can force objects into an extradimensional space, or remove them from one. - Cast</ref>
  • Ursa Aurora<ref>Ursa Aurora – A member of the New York Protectorate, Ursa Aurora creates animated forcefields in the rough shape of bears. - Cast</ref>

• Wards
  • Jouster<ref>“You may recognize some of the captains of the respective Wards teams. Jouster from New York, Vantage from Los Angeles, Tecton from Chicago and Hoyden from Austin. You know Clockblocker.” - Excerpt from Drone 23.1</ref>
  • Shelter<ref>Jouster shook his head. “It’s the job. They grumble, sure, but it’s a few years at most before they get to do the bike thing.”
    
    “I’m guessing you’re one of the ‘lancers’,” I said.
    
    Jouster gave me a dirty look, “What of it?”
    
    “Nothing,” I said. “Just made sense.”
    
    “Flechette was one too,” he said. “She was going to lead the squad when I moved up to the Protectorate, with Shelter taking over as Wards captain.”
    
    “I believe it,” I said. - Excerpt from Drone 23.1</ref>
  • Flechette (formerly)<ref>Flechette, Lily – A crossbow-wielding cape that originally hailed from New York, joining the Brockton Bay Wards as a temporary member in the wake of recent disasters. A Japanese-American girl, she wears a deep purple costume with a visor, quiver, and narrow, platinum-white armor panels that flare out at the upper edges and taper at the bottom – mimicking the vague shape of an arrow or darts. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
• The Adepts<ref>“We do what we’re doing with the Cauldron capes, run her by our thinkers,” Dispatch said. “We can get a more concrete assessment of her now, with a field exercise, than by any amount of talking. If I’m remembering right, a notice went out, didn’t it? A New York group of villains is poaching Wards and Protectorate members?”
  
  “The Adepts,” Revel said. - Excerpt from Drone 23.1</ref>
• The Elite<ref>"I'm not sure what I need. The Elite moved in as a response to the PRT setting up here. The other gangs are already reacting, except for maybe Tuurngait, the only real non-international gang here. I'm not sure what they're thinking. With Alaska, they'd have eyes and assets all along the West coast."
  
  "They've also got a cell here in New York. One of their leaders, Uppercrust, is dying. Same medical problem that led to his trigger event. He was the easiest to work with - one of our contractors for the large-scale force fields at sensitive port locations. His failing health was a small factor in why Brockton Bay was hit as hard as it was. Can't get around to his work sites. Now you've got splinter factions vying for his seat."</ref>
• The Teeth<ref>Once a gang in Brockton Bay, they were nearly wiped out by the Slaughterhouse Nine. They re-established themselves as cells in New York and Boston, and have since rebuilt, though turnover has proved high enough that no original members remain – only the name survives. Savage, reckless, willing to do anything for a profit, they aim to oust the Undersiders and use violence to carve out a territory. - Cast (In Depth)</ref>
• Bakuda (formerly)<ref>Armsmaster nodded, “Not surprising. She’s new. What we know about her is limited. She made her first appearance and demonstration of her powers by way of a drawn out terrorism campaign against Cornell University. Lung apparently recruited her and brought her to Brockton Bay after her plans were foiled by the New York Protectorate. This is… something of a concern.” - Excerpt from Gestation 1.6</ref>
• Hookwolf (formerly, rumored)<ref>Rumor had it that Hookwolf, back in the day, had been one of the top fighters in a parahuman fighting ring in New York. He’d grown greedy, killed the man that ran it for access to the vault with the night’s earnings, and had made a good number of enemies in the process. It had been a group of white supremacists local to that area that had given him shelter and support, happy to side with him because the man he’d killed had been an ‘acceptable target’. Maybe the ideology was real for Hookwolf from day one, maybe it was an act that had become reality when he found he enjoyed having people celebrate him for enacting his most twisted impulses and racking up a body count. Either way, I suspected that there were few things he wouldn’t do for his ‘Empire’ nowadays. - Excerpt from Buzz 7.7</ref>
• March<ref name="nemesis">Foil is 17 and a senior. She triggered 3 years prior to her appearance, as part of a group trigger in New York. One of her old nemeses, March, was another part of that group trigger. - Private message by Wildbow, posted on Spacebattles.</ref><ref>“Another pattern we will be exploring is the apparent effect of multiple trigger events occurring in the same time and place. There is a very strong correlation between coinciding trigger events and individuals displaying three or more powers rather than one or two predominant ones.”
  
  “Hey, Flechette,” Kid Win called across the room, “You’ve got a bunch of powers, right?”
  
  She turned in her seat, “Sure.”
  
  “Anyone else get powers at the same time you did?”
  
  “Not that I know of.”
  
  “Could someone nearby have gotten their powers, without you knowing? Way things played out? Did any capes show up around the same time as you?”
  
  Flechette frowned, “Yeah. A rather persistent villain.”
  
  “Worth thinking about.” - Excerpt from Sentinel 9.3</ref>

Trivia

• The Travelers visited New York at one point, and were likely involved with forty individuals disappearing overnight.<ref>“I don’t know. Could they? Yes. And that possibility is too dangerous, especially given what Regent can do. The Undersiders do not pull their punches. The Travelers, oddly enough, are more moderate, but they do have sixteen kills under their belt, due in large part to the sheer power at their disposal.”
  
  “Let’s not forget the incident in New York,” Legend said. “Forty individuals disappeared in one night. Investigation confirmed the Travelers were occupying a nearby location. Chances are good that they were involved.” - Excerpt from Interlude 13</ref><ref>Tattletale spoke up, “The Travelers have two other members who don’t see much action. Oliver handles their day-to-day stuff. Finds and prepares places for them to settle down, gets food, looks after Noelle. Noelle…”
  
  “New York,” Miss Militia interrupted. “She’s the one that’s responsible for the disappearance of those forty people?”
  
  “I wouldn’t be surprised,” Tattletale said. - Excerpt from Queen 18.3</ref>
• The commonly used system of power classifications was originally created by PRT ground-patrol and response teams in New York.<ref>◈ CLASSIFICATIONS
  The classification system was initially created by the PRT ground-patrol and response teams in New York as a means of quickly identifying threats and adopting strategies. As many as thirty categories were added to accommodate other types of parahuman as the methodology spread, and these forms were later condensed as it was discovered that certain strategies were valid against parahumans of a broad type. - PRT Master Reference</ref>
