Westbrook (2020)

Westbrook was a residential community located in the Greater Night City Area, as well as a suburb of Central Night City. It would eventually become New Westbrook.
==Overview==
Westbrook was constructed as fortified, yet genteel and well-manicured residential area on a naturally occurring set of hills overlooking Night City from across the bay and with North Oak below. Many of the wealthiest people in the metropolitan area had expensive homes here, and their contract with Arasaka services guaranteed that nothing disturbed them. Most of the executives working for the largest corporations in Night City lived here, including VPs and executives from Arasaka, EBM, or Petrochem, as well as many prominent Night City personalities, such as Eran Malour or Isabel Vargas. Admission to Westbrook was only limited in one way, you had to be able to pay for it. In short, only the very rich people could afford to live here.
There were at least three checkpoints on the road into the hills and several surface-to-air missile sites that made sure all aircrafts also had the proper IFF codes. All traffic was heavily monitored; it was nearly impossible to bypass the security of any location, and trespassers had to go through the guarded checkpoints before reaching the residential compound. Anyone trying to go overland had to deal with the Apex systems that doted the countryside, and even the walking paths were guarded. The computer system was programmed by security to allow only identity card holders to pass safely by. These cards were given to residents of Westbrook, and were keyed to specific biomonitors, as such they became useless if separated from the issued holder by a space of more than 3 meters or 10 feet. If you were unlucky enough to loose the card while jogging on the hills, you had a ten second delay before the guns cut in. Nevertheless, residents usually kept a close eye on their cards. For this reason, a large number implanted the identity chips into their skin.
In addition, Westbrook was well-known as a very safe place for corporations to place their high extraction-risk employees. There was only one extraction attempt in Westbrook's history, which left three AV-4s destroyed and 24 Militech soldiers dead; it was the first—and last—attempted extraction at Westbrook through the entire 2010s. Some said that this incident was what had started the long-running rivalry between the Night City branches of Arasaka and Militech.
The hills around Westbrook and North Oak were filled with trails and parks. Protected by Apex systems, these areas advertised as a secure and safe setting to peacefully enjoy nature. Other parts of these hills had some of hunting grounds, offering plenty of sport for the city residents. Biotechnica had recently released their new Mule Deer 2000™.
NCART connections with the metropolitan area were available from Westbrook, as well as private corporate trains that reached the Night City Transit Center.
