Brush

Nice town. Known for its airfields. Capital of the BFTA.

The capital of the newly-formed Brush Free Trade Alliance, Brush, was a relatively small city of 100,000 people that lay on the western tip of the northern half of the Crescent, the enormous main continent of Ticondera. Brush had a history that spanned over 400 years, and had at one point been the most important city in northern Ticondera. The discovery of iron and other minerals in the northeastern Abdilene region about 200 years ago had shifted industry and commerce eastwards, causing Brush to stagnate and become a worn-out, aged city far past its prime. However, during the Kordridge administration, Arkady Nicholas' urban renewal drive had begun to turn the city around, and much of the crumbling infrastructure had been ripped out and rebuilt. Brush, the cradle of crude Ticonderan aviation some 75 years before, was selected as the staging ground for the new Ticonderan SkyForce, and massive airfields were constructed. As a result, the city attracted swarms of young Ticonderans, many freshly graduated from TTI, and at the time of the governmental collapse, it had one of the youngest populations in the Web. Brush had a strikingly modern skyline, and a vibrant, exciting nightlife. Brush was hip, Brush was happening, and Brush was now the center of the first free-market democracy in Ticonderan history.
