DIGITAL RENEGADES STRUCTURE

Physically, the only territory publicly claimed by the Digital Renegades in the Combat Zone is the odd apartment building facing Moreno Street at the Southeast corner of The Cauldron right next to the southern wall of the Zone.  But the Renegades do not measure turf by physical barriers.  They are a  gang of netrunners, masters of the digital realm, and their territory is infinite.  Still the location helps, it allows people to physically make contact, and gives them a place to store their equipment, house some of their people, and broadcast their pirate radio station.  It is headquarters and hangout in the very loosest definition of the term, since many members of the Digital Renegades have never been within a mile of the location.  But by locating it there, it makes it relatively safe from government intervention, and adds to their notoriety by being classified as a Combat Zone gang.

There is no real hierarchy in the Renegades, skill and reputation will of course make some members more respected and recognized than others within the gang, but in most situations, the initiator of a project will retain command of the project, and either recruit others to their aid, or pass it off to more capable and willing hands if they are not up to the task.

At any given moment there are between 20 and 30 members of the Renegades living in the building, with the rest of the apartments sitting empty or being taken up by civilians.  Most of the Renegades who do live on site are younger beginner level Netrunners, and the operators of  the radio station.  These people all have minimal Police records and are usually simply too poor to leave the zone or lacking legal registration.  While there are many Renegades wanted by police who flee to the Zone, no one who is actively wanted by the Police is allowed to set foot in the building, they are required to find their own lodging elsewhere in the zone.

There are estimated to only be about 20-30 members of the Digital Renegades living in the Combat zone with around another 100-150 living in Night City proper, and at least 20 members outside the city, perhaps scattered across the country or the world.  However they have lots of friends, and the amount of support they can receive from each of the various individuals contacts is nigh endless. 

There are no set weapon or vehicle types, nor any remotely uniform set of dress codes.  The same can be said for cybernetics, though by necessity virually all members are possessed of at least a Neural Processor and Interface jacks.  Offline a Digital Renegade is virtually faceless and impossible to spot, unless they choose to display their tag, usually as a pin somewhere easily concealable on their clothes.
