Pacifica was meant to be Night City's luxury resort, and the game's Database calls it a small copy of the city's whole history: it began with the promise of building a paradise and ended as a nightmare. On paper it was to be the classiest district in the city, a playground for corporate staff in the spirit of old Las Vegas, with luxury hotels, entertainment halls and sandy beaches. That Pacifica only ever existed in the blueprints drawn for wealthy investors. When the Unification War broke out, the investors pulled out every last coin, afraid of another war between corporations, and the half built district was left to rot. Everyone left except the local Haitian community, led and protected by the netrunner gang called the Voodoo Boys. The city has tried again and again to bring Pacifica back under its control and has failed every time. The district lives by its own rules, with its own language, its own goods, which are illegal in the rest of Night City, and its own independent Net. Its sub-districts are Coastview and West Wind Estate, with Dogtown walled off to the east. The Database ends with a warning to anyone who enters: beware.

Investors led by Militech poured billions into Pacifica in the 2050s and 2060s, building hotels, casinos, shopping centres and a stadium. The money ran out before the work was finished, and the half built district was taken over by the people living in it.

When the investors returned around 2070, the Voodoo Boys fought them off. Police raids turned into weeks of riots, and the city council cut off all public services. Pacifica has been a combat zone ever since.

Gangs

The Voodoo Boys are the main power in Pacifica, with the Animals and the Scavengers also active.

The Voodoo Boys are a mysterious gang of netrunners. They defend the independence of the district and lead its mostly Haitian community. Dark rumours surround them. The people who know the most about them are the city's netrunners, who can at least recognise a Voodoo Boys virus when it hits, and NetWatch, which has tried to destroy them for years without success.

The Animals have no fixed territory, but Pacifica is one of their favourite haunts. They are split into small packs led by independent alphas, pump their bodies full of hormones and their homemade drug, Juice, and love street fights. During the Voodoo Boys story they hold the Grand Imperial Mall.

The Scavengers also roam the ruins, looking for victims whose implants they can strip and sell.
