"City of Industry... City of Smoke."

Geography

Industry Mile

Industry Mile is, as the name implies, the Industrial Centre of Bishop City.

All manufactured goods are produced within the area by Summers Industrials, with various specialised factories dominating the landscape. It is also home to low-rent housing for the workers that live near it. The working conditions in the factories are largely sub-standard with the workers also being paid very little for their jobs. Each factory is overseen by a Summers Family Enforcer, who also manages the illegal activities that the Summers Family also indulges in.

Health facilities are sorely lacking in the area, but they are present. The subpar Bishop Bay General Hospital is located near the docklands, but it is typically visited as a move of desperation rather than a first line of intervention, as it is currently sorely underfunded.

The East Docklands of Bishop City are also located in this area, with shipping connections to other states along the Eastern Seaboard and worldwide.

Crime is rife in Industrial Mile, both organised and petty, as a result of the sheer deprivation in the area. Health problems, mostly connected to respiratory issues, are also higher in this area of the city, simply as a result of the smokestacks and lack of environmental control in the area.

Notable Heroes

Blackflight: Blackflight was Bishop City's original protector and possibly most well-known one. Regarded as an Urban Myth both in his original career and much after it, he operated predominantly in secrecy. Using an advanced arsenal of technology and highly trained Martial arts skills, Blackflight rooted out much of Bishop City's organised crime throughout the 1980s, only to disappear in the year following the Battle of Detroit. Blackflight, to the very few that met him, was cold and detached, focused only on the goal. In a fight, criminals feared him for his overt aggression and mind-games through his lack of speech and noise. Many apprehended criminals also developed symptoms of PTSD in his earlier years after encounters with him.

Recently, Blackflight his resurfaced in Bishop City again, with theories suggesting that it is due to the increased Sideshow Syndicate activity throughout the country.

What no one knows is that Blackflight is, in reality, John Summers, wealthy businessman of the Summers family and Bishop City socialite.
