De Bedroma

De Bedroma (simplified by the Americans from Dek Bedriah) is the capital city of The Democratic Republic Of Kluatau, located in the region of Rombulaco.

# Foundation

During the period of colonization, the Spaniards decided it was best to settle the capital nearest to the Oclian borders, as before the communist uprising, the British controlled Drighton, while the Spanish controlled Berusferg and Kluatau. They wanted to settle it as close as they could to the border, to strengthen ties between Spanish and British colonists. This would later cause problems. This city was the most developed in the country as it was used to trade between the Dutch in Ocli. Hence why most other towns are less populated and smaller.

# Structure

The architecture of De Bedroma consisted of many nineteenth century buildings, several apartment blocks, and towering government buildings, most of which were bombed during the invasion, with the outer city consisting of many smaller houses, supported by stilts.

The 19th century buildings were all left there when the Spanish left Kluatau in 1898. They decided to keep them there as there were tens of thousands of them, which removing all of them would be hard to do so. The apartment blocks and government buildings were all made by Kluatau post independence.

# Railway Amenities

## Main Terminal / Intro-City Railway Terminal

The Kluatau Railway Terminal is Kluatau's Terminus Station on the Drighton - Kluatau Railway. It serves as a passenger and freight line from **De Bedroma** to Grenner and services within the country itself, with a narrow-gauge line continuing towards Gesichter in Drighton. Before the Drighton - Kluatau causeway across the Straits of Apiatu was built, the railway in Kluatau was limited to the island. The construction of the causeway began in 1926, and it was opened to goods trains on 17 September 1927 and to passenger trains on 1 October 1927. Previously, passengers and goods, particularly to service the transportation of tin and rubber industry in Drighton were transferred at Apitau to a ferry to Drighton and the connecting train on the peninsula. Kluatau railway station was completed on 3 May 1928 and officially opened.

FDSR (Federal Drighton State Railways) runs six daily FDSR Intercity trains between Drighton and **De Bedroma**, and also ran several other trains between other parts of Peninsular Ocli, such as Bazinga state in the northeast. It also operates a shuttle service between Apiatu and Tubialo for commuters.

Outside the city in the outskirts sits the Outer-City railway station, which only holds services within Kluatau rather than continental.

## Concourse

The spacious concourse has a high ceiling and a large seating area, with the ticket counter being the centerpiece of the concourse. A hotel lays in the top levels of the concourse with the commanding officer's office in the highest level.

## Layout

The station is three tracked, with another two for headshunting and goods. The three main tracks were in between Platform 1 and 2, with Platform 3 serving the role of goods pickup for the two side tracks.

# Oclian Invasion

During the war, Oclian rocket bombs would drop on the city daily. On average, it would be about 40 per day. (deducting the 800 rocket bombs that fell on the first day of the invasion.) The rubble caused by the rocket bombs were too vast and destructive to be cleaned up, and since there were too much empty 19th century houses, the workers would just move their business to the other residency.

In the last years of the war, the capital was surrounded by Oclian troops, and being right next to the border, Kluatauan troops would have to hold out the best they could as if they were to lose the capital, they would lose the war.
