'''Millennium City''' is a fictional setting in [[Champions (role-playing game)|Champions]], a game using the [[Hero System]] for [[role-playing game]]s. The city is built upon the remains of [[Detroit, Michigan]], much of which was destroyed in a battle between super powered heroes and villains in 1992. President [[George H. W. Bush]] called upon the citizens of Detroit and the [[United States]] to pull together in the wake of the tragedy and to move forward into the new millennium. The citizens used the speech as a mandate to reconstruct Detroit bigger and better than before and to do it before the turn of the century. In 1999 the mayor declared the Millennium Project a success. In 2003, the incorporated city of Detroit ceased to exist and was renamed Millennium City.

"Normal" cars are required to park at garages at the gateways and their owners commute or rent VCC-equipped vehicles to drive into the city.
