Overview

Praetoria as seen in the CoH: Going Rogue trailer

Praetoria, also known as Praetorian Earth, is a utopian alternate Earth, under the rule of Emperor Cole, who is known to the heroes of Primal Earth as Tyrant.

Praetoria is, in fact, a "mirror universe", where, unlike on our Earth, the most famous superbeings are twisted and evil, having given in to their darker sides. The Praetorian Archvillains are not as strong as their Paragon City counterparts, but they still prove a challenge to all but the most powerful of heroes.

In-Game References

The Portal Corporation refers to this dimension as Upsilon Beta 9-6, with the name Praetorian Earth assigned by Portal Corp techicians. This dimension was first discovered by Tina Macintyre due to invading forces by Anti-Matter. Several missions assigned by Tina Macintyre and Maria Jenkins take place there, and it is also the locale for the upcoming City of Heroes expansion: Going Rogue. The early press releases for the expansion were the first to refer to it as Praetoria.

Praetorian Enemies

The Praetorian archvillains are:

Mirrored Factions

As heroes are turned into villains on this mirror world, some enemy groups are turned into heroic organizations - if they have not already been oppressed by the might of the Praetorians.

Known groups are:

  • Carnival of Light - the counterparts of Carnival of Shadows, they are a group of heroic freedom fighters.
  • Blue and Silver Clockwork - the counterparts of Clockwork, they were created by Anti-Matter and Neuron. It is not known if there is a Praetorian Clockwork King. Additionally, new Praetorian Clockwork were introduced during Hero Con 2009 as passive servant-class robotic humanoids who do maintenance work and generally repair and rebuild the city as required. They will only attack players if players attack them first.

Additional Notes

Sadly, none of the Praetorians have goatees (barring Malaise, but this opens up a new can of beans, see profile).
