Dogtown

Dogtown is a Combat Zone in Night City. It is an upcoming location in.

Overview
Dogtown is a walled-off area located east of the Pacifica subdistricts of Coastview and West Wind Estate. It is divided into three subdistricts, all controlled by the Barghest.

Creation
At some point after the Time of the Red, investors funded the Pacifica district to become a wealthy touristic destination. Unfortunately, the Unification War (2069 - 2070) halted Pacifica's success in its tracks. As fears mounted that the New United States would invade Night City from Southern California and Pacifica would then become a battlefield, corporations and other investors raced to withdraw their fundings from the district's ongoing projects. It was during the war when NUSA Colonel Kurt Hansen's strategic decision allowed him to take control of a portion of it, eventually becoming some sort of military tyrant.

With Night City's economy already on a downturn, the effect on Pacifica was disastrous and much of the district was left incomplete and lawless. Construction work was put on permanent hold, leaving most buildings as unfinished hulks of concrete and steel. Not long after, gangs and the homeless moved in. The worst areas of the district became a Combat Zone, and at some point was walled off from the rest of Pacifica. Although it was originally simply known as the Combat Zone, Hansen would rename it to Dogtown.

2077
By 2077, Dogtown was still under the leadership of Colonel Hansen and his Barghest militia, who ruled it with an iron fist. It was still the most dangerous area of Night City, and rumors abounded that it was used by the NCPD as a place to dispose of cyberpsychos and other dangerous criminals. Around this time, NUSA President Myers's Space Force One was struck down above Night City, and crash-landed somewhere within Dogtown.
