Sins of Stark City
Welcome to Stark City, the Home of Heroes.
Stark City is wrestling with one of its greatest tragedies in recent history.
On Friday, October 12, 2012, the Stark City Police Department Annual Awards Gala at the Platinum Coast Events Center was engulfed in a series of crimson fireballs. The explosions were centered on the raised dais where the Stark City PD's senior leaders were dining.
No one seated at the table survived.
Over a third of the city's police force was in the room when it exploded. Most of them didn't make it out.
Months later, no arrests have been made in the Black Friday attack (as it was dubbed by the local media), but the investigation continues. Stark City PD is struggling to rebuild under the leadership of Jesus Ramirez, the new Chief of Police. The FBI has assigned a task force (under the leadership of Special Agent in Charge Henry Doorbinder), but they've had no more luck than the SCPD. The two organizations are officially cooperating on this issue-but unofficially, communications have broken down and each organization is pursuing separate lines of investigation.
This bold attack on Stark City's finest was an impetus for the Sentinel Foundation to revive Mayor Ullman's old initiative to bring heroes back to Stark City. With the brazen, unsolved attack on the city's police, the increasing power of the Mafia, the rising crime rate in Stark City (particularly metahuman crime), and rumors about the Teslacracy and the Gloriana Empire sending agents into our world, the Sentinel Foundation realized that they needed to carry on in the footsteps of the Sentinel lineage more directly and protect Stark City.
