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.
