This article is about the location in Cyberpunk 2020. For the location in Cyberpunk RED, see South Night City (RED).South Night City (also known as South City District)[2] was an industrial port district and suburb of Central Night City. It would continue to exist during the Time of the Red as a lawless combat zone.
Overview[]
Like any other modern American metropolis, Night City needed a place to house industry, power plants, an airport, sewage plants, and more. No one wanted these places in their backyard, so they were usually shoved into areas were either no one lived, or simply no one cared; places where it wouldn't blight the view of the wealthy and the elite. South Night City was where the dirty infrastructure of the metropolis was placed. This district was basically a heavily industrialized port zone with one of the last oil refinery terminals in the area, the Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant, the Metropolitan Airport, the region's largest employer being the San Morro Bay Cargo & Container Port, and miles and miles of cheap, shabby housing constructed at the turn of the century by Mob-controlled contractors.[3][1][4] Moreover, a significant chunk of real estate in South Night City was occupied by the infamous Combat Zone.[3]
This section of Night City was especially known to be a dangerous place. If you were not waylaid and dragged in a dark alley by one of the many gangs that roamed the urban sprawl, it was quite likely you'd be shot by some trigger-happy local mistaking you for a member of one the aforementioned groups. As such, it was always a good idea to travel here during the day, as at night the fireworks started, and usually ambulances didn't come until the next morning. Security in the South City District varied by location; some places were literal fortresses (with heavy firepower protecting them), while others just sealed themselves in behind thick doors.[1][4]
NCTC bus connections to Central Night City, as well as NCART connections with the metropolitan area were available.[1]
