The Reclaimed Perimeter was the name designated to refer to those settlements in the vicinity of Del Coronado Bay that were repopulated during the Time of the Red.[1]
History[]
2020s - 2030s[]
The chaos of Fourth Corporate War during the 2020s destroyed much of Night City and its surroundings, leaving many citizens homeless. With the suburbs of Night City overpopulated, a large number of refugees needed a place to live, and around 2026 they began to leave the ruined metropolis in search for a new home. Night City was a major regional hub in this part of California, as such, it neighbored many smaller towns and further away suburbs. Most of these settlements had been abandoned during the Collapse of the 1990s-2000s, as they were too far out to be protected from the roving gangs encountered in the area. With the support of the nomad population and private security, these refuges took it upon themselves to attempt and make new homes for displaced in many of these abandoned places.
Over the following years, these reclaimers started giving new life to former ghost towns, which soon became transited by all types of travellers, including nomad families, passing corporates, or other reclaimer groups. However, these areas were also dangerous due to the many road gangers sill infesting the wastes. Thanks to the nomad convoys connecting all reclaimed towns with themselves and the closest major hubs, it proved to be a successful effort, with a bunch new settlements appearing in the surroundings of Night City. With the same was happening in other places of North America, more people from all kinds of backgrounds began to populate these areas, especially nomads that decided to settle. In time, a few reclaimed cities would even establish their own CitiNets as well.[1]
2040s[]
By the 2040, few of these settlements had their own police forces and had to rely on hired muscle. Luckily for some, groups of lawmen had formed to aid the unprotected towns and highways. Similar to the range-riding Wyatt Earps of the Old West, these lawmen were hard riding and fast shooting.[1]
