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:
“1st Murderer. Where’s thy conscience now?...
2nd Murderer. I’ll not meddle with it. It makes a man a coward.... It fills a man full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance I found. It beggars any man that keeps it. It is turned out of towns and cities for a dangerous thing, and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
