  An incursion team led by Solo Morgan Blackhand and Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand attempt to steal/destroy the Arasaka Secure Database in the Arasaka Towers faclity. During the assault, a nuclear device is detonated, which destroys much of central Night City.
  Over a half million people are killed. Another quarter million die in the resulting aftermath.
  The twin Arasaka Towers were 140 floors tall, making them the tallest buildings existent at the time. They were joined by a high bridge around the 60th floor mark. The Nuke was detonated at floor 120 (1200 feet), in Kei’s apartments where the Soulkiller lab was located.
  The blast pretty much obliterated the twin towers, splitting them in half and causing them to collapse outward. The entire center of the city became rubble in seconds. Most people in the area died instantly A lot of Night City was built on fill, because the original elevation was only sixteen feet above sea level. So, the Arasaka nuke caused a minor earthquake that liquefied parts of the fill and flooded the inner city.
(align: "==>")[{[[Backstory2<-Next]]}]
(align: "=><=")[What follows are rumours]
  U.S. President Kress blamed the Night City attack on Arasaka, although she was soon able to determine that the actual weapon used had been supplied by a Militech strike team. The Big Lie was that Arasaka blew up the Corporate Center in an area denial attack to stop Militech from seizing the Arasaka’s Night City office. In point of fact, Arasaka did actually have a much larger thermonuclear device buried in the foundations of the Towers for just that reason, but the explosion of the Militech pocket nuke rendered this plan inoperable.
  With the exact location of the Arasaka master database unknown, Militech decided the best course of action was to use a pocket nuke (carried by a hand–picked black ops team) to level the entire structure.
  The Militech team didn’t really care about the (text-color: "red")[loss of life], as they had already written the City off as a loss to Arasaka months earlier in the War.
  The bomb triggered in the Arasaka Towers was roughly twenty–five percent as powerful as the bomb at Hiroshima. A tactical nuke a bit larger than a “suitcase bomb.” It was designed to utterly demolish the master database and make it unusable in any way to a rival Megacorp. The Nuke was prematurely detonated at floor 120 (1200 feet), in Kei’s apartments where the Soulkiller lab was located.

(align: "=><=")[Deeper down the rabbit hole]
  No one knows where the Arasaka Bomb actually wound up after the Fall of the Towers, and since only a few of the upper echelon of the zaibatsu (such as Kei and his father Saburo) even knew about this fallback, the knowledge of the Arasaka weapon has since passed into the realm of legend.
  In the realm of conspiracy and rumor very few people knew anything about the Militech–backed strike team or its composition. Rumor has it that the veteran Solo, Morgan Blackhand, operating as a hidden government asset, passed the information about the failed raid onto President Elizabeth Kress independently; this is still only in the realm of legend, as no one has seen Morgan Blackhand or his corpse since the Fall of the Towers.
  In any case, Kress used this (and the reactivation of General Lundee’s commission) to gain leverage over Militech, bringing it to heel and nationalizing its assets as part of a resurgent US Government. Bringing the full force of her military and propaganda resources to bear, Kress painted a lurid picture of Arasaka as an evil foreign Megacorp run by a madman, who wantonly destroyed an American city in the pursuit of personal power.

(align: "=><=")[The fall of Arasaka]
  Arasaka’s charters to operate in the United States were immediately revoked, its members and board declared terrorists, and its assets either seized or driven offshore.
  Later, rumours gain voice again, the streets started to look with other eyes at the whole story, thanks to Trace Santiago's revelations, driving the Night City to realign itself with Arasaka rather than Militech and the New United States.
  Trace Santiago is a former solo, who was part of the assault team that attacked the Arasaka Towers. He swears that they weren't the ones who set the bomb off.
  Word is that Arasaka started to operate again in the Night City, from the shadows this time, and the first sign of this rumour is that the gang Iron Sights once funded by Arasaka, now have a again a benefactor.

  V, our character, in a mission to loot a shady unknown corpo transport, got her hands on a chip heavily guarded by Iron Sights members. As soon as she inserted the chip in her head, she got a annoying friend for life.
  V currently resides in one of the luxury suites of Altus Hotel, tallest building on the planet. Building where usually conferences and diplomatic events occur.
  V is recorded there as a luxury escort of one Nigerian Lord that doesn't exist. Through hacking and conning skills she got herself that status and suite.
  New buildings get so tall that it makes it harder and harder for last floor residents to breathe, if they stay on the balcony. But V's suite is so high, that the air pressure is dangerously low. Which in her view, it makes it even more exciting to live in that suite.
