Combat Zone (RED)

The Combat Zones of the Time of the Red were the most dangerous and lawless areas of Night City at that time - the only justice here was from the barrel of a gun. These zones grew out of the original Combat Zone in the wake of the Fourth Corporate War.

Overview
Gangs were the absolute rulers of the Combat Zones. Moving between the slums, tenements, and ruins of abandoned city blocks, these gangs and their allies divided up their territories, controlled the limited resources in the area, and killed anyone or anything that got in their way. During this timespan, there were no reconstruction projects going on in the Combat Zone, although sometimes corporate forces or the NCPD dropped down on the area like a ton of ferrobrix and started killing the gangers wholesale, a process the city compared to trimming back kudzu.

Since Night City was far too chaotic post-War to have a centralized City government, the Night City Council was made up of City Managers from the different districts and neighborhoods of NC, including the Combat Zones; though they had effectively no control over the gangs there.

The City Council considered this area to have a threat level of "Combat", which basically meant it was one of the worst places in the city, where people died, and no one cleaned it up afterwards.
