The Hero Universe is the "official" setting for the line of role-playing games published by Hero Games. All setting books published by the company (with, to date, the sole exception of Psychic Wars) are a part of this timeline. The company's own PDF file (a free download) describing the universe gives a full description of the nature and timeline, the latter stretching from 100,000 BC to beyond AD 3000.
The major genre-based settings — that is, those whose setting books are supported by additional volumes — include (listed chronologically within the timeline) The Turakian Age for Fantasy Hero, Champions Universe for Champions, Hudson City for Dark Champions, and Terran Empire for Star Hero. Other settings for these and other adventure genres are also available (including The Valdorian Age and Tuala Morn for Fantasy Hero, Alien Wars for Star Hero, and others), and more are in various stages of planning.
The setting of the Hero Universe which contains modern-day superheroes is contained in the Champions Universe book. This setting includes Millennium City, Vibora Bay, and other cities and areas spanning the globe.

Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or universe:
“In a novel a hero can lay ten girls and marry a virgin for a finish. In a movie this is not allowed. The hero, as well as the heroine, has to be a virgin. The villain can lay anybody he wants, have as much fun as he wants cheating and stealing, getting rich and whipping the servants. But you have to shoot him in the end.”
—Herbert Mankiewicz (1897–1953)
“Imagination places the future world for us either above or below or in reincarnation. We dream of travels throughout the universe: is not the universe within us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. M The mysterious path leads within. In us, or nowhere, lies eternity with its worlds, the past and the future.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
