NIGHT CITY BANS EDGERUNNING

#news #4cw N54 August 2021, Fated, Faithful, Fatal

After fierce debates within the NC Council, Arasaka has used its +veto[1] power to pass legislation forbidding mercenary work within the borders of Night City. Many in the public space have criticized this move, calling it a "weak display of corporate power".

Picking up a #gig can, under the current law, lead to up to 3 years in maximum security prisons. Despite this ruling, Edgerunners have continued to operate freely, claiming that the NCPD cannot arrest all of them.

NCPD's NETSEC division has called for intervention from authorized personnel since it has detected an increase in violent calls to action in the local Cyberspace.


  1. In a New City Democratic Mayorality, founding Members have a "+veto", meaning that they can force the implementation of a law instead of stopping it, as long as no other founding Member votes against it. ↩︎
