Brahmin Beach: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:18, 4 January 2024

Brahmin Beach, a distinctive neighborhood in southeast New Orange City, is flanked by Summit to the north, Meijin Hills to the south, and Alfa Beach to the west. It sits above the bulk of the Neo-Lusus district. Above the neighborhood sits the Ring of Kefir megastructure, with three of its four legs firmly anchored within Brahmin Beach.

Its boundaries are defined by the Skylan Expressway to the west, Budapest River to the east and north, and the Atoms For Peace Highway to the south. The neighborhood derives its name from the feral population of mutated, two-headed Mooshroom Cows colloquially known as "Brahmin." It is speculated that these mutations are linked to the nearby Jimmy Nuclear Power Plant, situated in the heart of the neighborhood, though conclusive evidence is lacking. The area was previously occupied by the Dillman Farm, renowned for Mooshroom Cow milk production.

History

Founded on December 2, 1834, by Henry Dillman, the Dillman Farm operated independently until Jerry Dillman, Henry's grandson, sold the land to the city in May 1899. The construction of the Jimmy Nuclear Power Plant, initiated by the IronBat Corporation to meet growing demand, commenced in haste and was completed in 1974. While the plant operates as a private corporation, ShireWire manages the power grid. Post-plant completion, the remaining lots in the neighborhood were swiftly redeveloped.

Transportation

Brahmin Beach is well-connected, with access to Atoms for Peace Highway and Skylan Highway. Additionally, it is intricately linked to the Oranjestad canal system on two sides, and the Oranjestad Hyperloop has two stops within the neighborhood.

Behind the Scenes

This area features two build competition plots. The nuclear power plant was built by morris_h1997 and the beachfront farm and hut was built by Andrewpo.

Brahmin is a reference to the video game Fallout, which features two-headed cows.

Dillman Farm is a famous Indiana producer of jams and jellies, based out of Bloomington, IN.

Atoms for Peace highway is a reference to the Thom Yorke album of the same name (which itself is a reference to the 1953 speech delivered by President Eisenhower.)

-Brahmin Beach is a neighborhood in southeast [[Oranjestad]]. It is bordered by [[Summit]] to the north, [[Meijin]] Hills to the south, and [[Alfa Beach]] to the west. Its east side is bound by the [[Budapest]] River. The area is named after the feral population of freak, two-headed Mooshrooms that can occasionally be seen roaming the area. These beasts are known locally as “Brahmin”. It is widely believed that the mutations are a result of their close proximity to the Jimmy Nuclear Power Plant, though there is little evidence to support this. Prior to the construction of the power plant, the area had been occupied by the Dillman Farm, which specialized in Mooshroom milk production.
