New York City

New York City
Archaic Pre-Rock name for Rocket City. Rocket City historians (such as there are) maintain that New York City was once called New Amsterdam and was at some point a participant in a union known as the United States of America. Most scholars agree that New York City was a cosmopolitan place consisting of large alien communities. This being the case, it is often assumed that natives of the planets Amsterdam and York alternately dominated public life. Though this is the preeminent theory, all real evidence known to exist is held in time-lock by the Guardians of Humanity, and investigative methods are limited mainly to speculation.
