Star City

History
Colonel Jeb Star founded the territory of Fort Plymouth in the year 1797. In the early half of the 19th century, Fort Plymouth grew into a prosperous trading community luring prospectors all the way from Canada to ply their trades. With the establishment of the continental railroad system in the 1860s, Fort Plymouth developed into a thriving cattle town with large ranches, slaughterhouses, and stockyards.

1897 was the year of the "Great Fire". It earned this appellation when a stockyard smokehouse was set ablaze, burning most of Fort Plymouth to the ground. Developers and architects rebuilt the city into a living symbol of modernism and named it after it's founding father, Jeb Star.

In the modern era, Star City has become known as the base of operations of the Emerald Archer, Green Arrow.

Green Arrow worked out of Star City for many years, struggling to disable a network of corrupt corporate bureaucrats. He initially worked alongside his teen partner, Speedy (now known as adult hero Arsenal), and again later with his paramour, Black Canary.

In recent years, Star City has become the scene of two major upheavals. The first took place when an amateur occultist named Albert Davis inadvertently summoned a legion of demonic entities that swept across the city. The neighborhoods erupted into chaos, and Green Arrow managed to unite the criminal underworld and the embittered Star City police department in a coordinated effort to stop the demons.

More recently, Star City became the setting for a game of cat and mouse between Green Arrow and the archer known as Merlyn. Merlyn himself was merely the pawn of latter day Green Arrow foe, Dr. Arthur Light. The feud resulted in Merlyn setting off multiple bombs across the city. Green Arrow and the new Speedy were critically injured during the catastrophe and the city nearly collapsed.

In the wake of devastation, a wall was built around several surviving neighborhoods cutting the midtown district off from the more densely populated ghettos.

Currently, Star City exists as a volatile demilitarized zone. Oliver Queen continues to fulfill his duties in Star City as its Mayor.
