CDPR being CDPR: dropping information on in-lore historical events once and then never bringing it up again. Now we have a brainrot anchor for the events of December '71 a.k.a. the Burning December. Although the text keeps it rather vague, it seems plausible to assume that this particular period of time was the peak of tensions between Barghest and every other fraction involved after Kurt's My Little Pony club goes rogue in summer 2070. There is an NPC conversation that mentions Myers™ dropping bombs on the district during the same time period, but given how salty Hansen is over being dumped by his ex corps, you can easily imagine him whining about the NUSA over comms, while a regular citizen in the area probably wouldn't be bothered to distinguish between Arasaka/Militech/else missile, because whatever it is, it is flying at them right there, right that second. This event also supports the "recruitment" of Jago in 2072 rather nicely. After 2~ years of spending everything Barghest had from Militech, it would be a high-time to hire someone with a powerful trade braincell and start looking for profits. Especially so with the wall shielding the district from the rest of the world and giving the "insiders" a much closer supervision of what goes in and out of the area. Which also makes it more so impressive that Barghest somehow managed to build the wall (holding myself back from orange man jokes) after they had lost Militech's backing. One could theorize the wall was built back in 2070 when the Unification War was still going on, but everything points back to the Midnight Storm being a proceed-at-all-costs offensive op — not defensive. Building up fortifications of such scale would simply be inefficient for the task, although there surely could've been some smaller structures that were built up upon later. And last, but not least: it is quite intriguing that NCPD had the gut to poke the beast too, even with all the NC's funding (since it wasn't transferred to private ownership until 2076).
