Port Moresby

Port Moresby is located on the shores of the Gulf of Papua, on the southeast coast of the Papuan Peninsula, making it a prime target for Japanese invasion during WWII to block off Australia’s access to Southeast Asia and the Americas. The location saw significant action from both Australian and Japanese super-powered combatants. By 1942, the port became the staging ground for thousands of troops as the last remaining Allied bastion on the island.
After the war, the city came under the administration of the Australian government and became the focal point for public expansion. In 1975, Port Moresby became the capital of Papua New Guinea with an independent government. New public buildings were built while the older ones left from Australian administration were left derelict. Many of these building still stand, and are used by local gangs as headquarters and safe houses.
Port Moresby has no resident heroes, but is plagued by a number of low-powered villains that are attempting to run their own operations.
