Traction Cities
Some traction cities of the traction era bear present day names, but some such as Airhaven and Motoropolis are invented. Cities consist of several ‘tiers’ fixed to a huge hull containing engine rooms, storage hangars and a large ‘gut’ where captured towns are dismantled. At the sides are enormous tracks or wheels and huge hydraulic ‘jaws’ at the bows are used to capture smaller towns for prey.

Famous quotes containing the word cities:
“How far men go for the material of their houses! The inhabitants of the most civilized cities, in all ages, send into far, primitive forests, beyond the bounds of their civilization, where the moose and bear and savage dwell, for their pine boards for ordinary use. And, on the other hand, the savage soon receives from cities iron arrow-points, hatchets, and guns, to point his savageness with.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
