Detroit or the Greater Detroit Metropolitan Complex is located in the state of Michigan, in the UCAS. Site of the global headquarters for Ares Macrotechnology, parent company of Knight Errant Security Services, Detroit is prosperous and one of the safest cities in the UCAS. It is held up as a model of balanced civic and corporate governance, with a mere two percent unemployment rate according to the 2070 census.[1]

History[]

After the formation of the UCAS, the formerly Canadian city of Windsor became a district of the Detroit metroplex in 2032.[2]

In 2046 Ares sponsored a citywide celebration for the 150th anniversary of automobile manufacturing in Detroit, commemorating the completion of the Ford Quadricycle, the first experimental motor car built by Henry Ford in 1896.[3][4][5]

In 2081 Ares plans to move its Global HQ to the CAS.
