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:
“In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
