The Watson Development
Demographics
Those of Asian descent congregate heavily in both Watson and Kabuki.
Government
Controlled by city manager Lucius Rhyne, elected by popular vote to his seat on the Night City Council.
History
The region where Watson stands was originally the military city of North Oak, including some parts of the neighboring Westbrook. By 2045 the renamed Watson was a developing district in which megabuildings and arcologies were built to house the thousands of homeless from the Fourth Corporate War. Much of Night City's Asian population moved to the Watson neighborhood colloquially known as Kabuki - including those of the Old Japantown.
Points of interest
- City Police Precinct #3: A large, well-armed police precinct. The egos of some cops here took a bruising when they were unable to break up the labor strike.
- . Petrochem Offices: Petrochem's offices are located across the street from their bitter corporate rival, SovOil. Aside from a small museum where you can learn about the storied history of petroleum and a gift shop, the compound is heavily defended and inaccessible to the public.
- SovOil Offices: SovOil's offices are located across the street from their bitter Corporate rival, Petrochem. While entirely inaccessible to the public, just beyond the gates of the compound, a variety of gaudy gilded statues and monoliths can be seen.
- Trauma Team Tower: The Trauma Team Tower contains its own hospital exclusively for Trauma Team Executive clients, an AV-4 repair bay, and an air traffic control tower to manage the logistical chaos of it all.
- HTown: A tent city built outside the walls of a gated community. Tensions are high.
- Petrochem & SovOil Joint Temporary Housing Solution: In a twist of irony, both Petrochem and SovOil provide employee housing in the same building. No one is happy about it.
- Red Oktober: A Soviet-themed bar built into an old subway station.
- Redline: Home of the most thrilling bloodsport in Night City and the Wild Things, a gang dedicated to organized competitive violence.
- Sakura’s: A Night City interpretation of an izakaya, an informal bar.
