Morro Bay

Morro Bay was a small town in San Luis Obispo County, on the Californian central coast of the United States of America. It was located due north of Los Osos. Ever since the mid-1990s, the area has been occupied by the metropolis of Night City.
==History==
===Morro Bay Massacre===
In the last decades of the 20th century, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo, and other nearby settlements such as Los Osos suffered long from a number of violent local biker gangs, especially from a group called Hell's Angels. This was mostly due to the small presence of law enforcements and the frequently travelled highways in the area. Additionally, the local Dynergy Power Plant shut down due the large economy crisis the United States was suffering from the upcoming Collapse, something that destroyed the local economy.
In late 1992, the San Luis Obispo police department and the Hell's Angels begun a turf war that extended over the surrounding towns. The Angels descended upon Morro Bay, and during a five-day rampage, the gang took over the township, looting and razing down many buildings, and with much of the ten thousand inhabitants either dead, maimed, or fleeing their hometown. It wasn't until the arrival of a force from a relatively nearby US military base known as Fort Ort that the gang members were finally destroyed. In a matter of days, Morro Bay and its surroundings had become a ghost town where no one intended to return, a dreadful event which would later be known as the Morro Bay Massacre.
===Night City===
Mere days or weeks after this event, a businessman known as Richard Night read an article from the San Francisco Chronicle that talked about the Morro Bay Massacre. Rather than seeing the location as where a post-holocaust horror had taken place, Night saw an opportunity to build the project of his life, and soon afterwards, due to its dark history, Night was able to buy the remains of Morro Bay for pennies on the dollar. Aided by a number of companies, whose joint effort became known as the Coronado Partnership, Night begun to prepare the terrain to build the metropolis of his dreams: Coronado City. These corporations included his own company, Night International, and others such as Petrochem, which had already taken over the local abandoned Dynergy Power Plant and was planning on setting up an offshore port and oil terminal; Merrill, Asukaga & Finch, which was hoping to turn the city into a new financial hub; and Arasaka, which was hired to clean out the gangs remaining in the vicinity.
To avoid the stigma of the Morro Bay Massacre, the Partnership renamed the large body of water to the west and the whole region as Del Coronado Bay. Over the next years, much of the original geology was changed, leveling hills and dumping them into the sea to create fill, while also reshaping the coast. By 1994, once the terrain had been rearranged, the construction of Coronado City begun. As an homage to the previous town, Night recreated much of the original Morro Bay core layout by building a small town-like, open-air environment reminiscent of a seaside village, which would become known as Old Downtown.
In 1998, after the assassination of Richard Night, Coronado City was renamed to Night City.
