The Voodoo Boys: What We Know and What We Don't

 is a readable shard in Cyberpunk 2077.

[...]It comes as no great surprise that the Haitians of Night City consider Pacifica their territory; after all, they built it with their hands, blood and sweat. In the 2060s, corporations employed members of the Haitian diaspora as cheap labor to construct their hotels, amusement park rides, swimming pools and the various other attractions and luxuries that would establish Pacifica as the city's premier entertainment district. 2069 marks the year Haitians recognized Pacifica as their new home. The Unifications War scared off the investors who had been pumping money into the up-and-coming district, leaving the contract laborers without work, a safety net and any hope for a bright future. In a sense, the Haitian community had already endured such abandonment before, when the island nation had been devastated beyond livable means by natural disasters and none heeded their call for humanitarian aid. Pacifica has since become their island reborn: self-sufficient and cut off from the rest of the city.

[...]So little is known about the Voodoo Boys that the few shreds of information we do have are typically void of context and, more often than not, become the seeds of myth and factual distortion. Indeed, one such example is the widely held belief that the Voodoo Boys gang formed only after the Haitian diaspora transplanted itself into Night City; however, nothing could prove farther from the truth. The gang had existed in some form well before the catastrophe of 2062, though of course under a different name (hereafter, both the Night City and Haitian groups are referred to as the Voodoo Boys for the sake of clarity). Similarly, they performed a different role than they do now in Night City. In Haiti, the Voodoo Boys acted solely as a cadre of netrunners; whereas in Night City, they also fulfill a social function. In the city's Pacifica district, they establish the common law and likewise enforce it, ensuring the relative well-being of their fellow residents. The loyalty they hold for "their own" is as steadfast as their contempt for all those "from the city."
