Bruh Capital, also known as Bruh Prime, is the capital world of the Bruh Alliance.

Bruh Capital is a highly urbanized world, with more than 50% of the planet covered by urban sprawl. During its peak before the Great Orbital War, shipments from 20 agricultural worlds were required to provide daily sustenance for the population residing on the planet.

Bruh Capital is the home of the Bruh Senate, and a political nexus for all 24 sectors that make up the Bruh Alliance of Independent Systems. Bruh Capital has hosted various political summits and cultural events simply due to its highly diverse political environment. The administrative center for the Bruh Sector is also located in the bureaucratic district of Bruh Capital, and the members of the Bruh High Council reside on planet during the seasons in which the Bruh Senate is operating.

Bruh Capital is also an economic hub, with the huge population and its role as a political center providing a prime location for business operations. More than 100 of the largest corporations within the Bruh Alliance have placed their headquarters in the economic district on Bruh Prime.

In addition to being a center of political and economic activity, Bruh Capital is also one of the largest manufacturing worlds within the Bruh polity. The foundry district on Bruh Capital provide more than 30% of the alloys produced by the entire Bruh Alliance. A large amount of alloys produced by Bruh Capital are also shipped daily to Bruh Orbital for the construction of fleets, and the manufactories on Bruh Prime contribute significantly to the military power of the Bruh Alliance.

Many historians believe that the role of Bruh Capital as a crucial political, economic, and military hub heavily contributed to its attack and eventual fall in the Great Orbital War.

## Bombing During the Great Orbital War

*See also: Bombing of Bruh Capital*

Bruh Capital fell under siege by Joe forces during the peak of the Great Orbital War. The Joe forces launched the Joe Superweapon against the densest population center on Bruh Capital in order to inflict the maximum amount of damage to the economic and production capacities of the Bruh polity. While the planetary defenses of Bruh Capital were able to destroy most of the warheads, one of them landed in the bureaucratic district.

The initial explosion caused a huge amount of casualties, but Bruh forces were unaware of the extremely powerful electronic interferences capabilities of the Joe Superweapon. Computer systems responsible for the running of transport and habitation systems across the entirety of Bruh Capital collapsed within several minutes of the exploding Joe Superweapon warhead. It is believed that the subsequent disruption caused far more causalities than the initial explosion of the warhead itself.

What is more, the nature of the Joe Superweapon, when detonated within the atmosphere of a planet with the densest electronic systems distribution in the galaxy, resulted in a chain reaction that caused the release of large volumes of EMP clouds that covered the entirety of Bruh Capital. All electronic systems that came within the atmosphere of Bruh Capital and therefore the EMP cloud would be rendered inoperable. Mass evacuation of the civilians were no longer feasible as all spaceships broke down, and the citizens of Bruh Capital were sealed in their fate.

The release of the EMP cloud in the aftermath of the Joe Superweapon signaled the final breath of Bruh Capital, and the destruction of the last population hub of the dying Bruh Alliance, as society on the planet broke down into primitivism and anarchy.

What was not known to the Joe Empire was the group of the brightest scientists, engineers and military leaders who were evacuated by the Bruh High Command before the warhead landed. This group of people would be secretly smuggled to the far edges of the galaxy as part of the Fifteen Decade Plan, and they would eventually become the founders of the Bruh Navy.

## The Era of Darkness

The failure of all electronic systems, as well as the incapability for the food and necessities to be shipped onto Bruh Capital, resulted in an almost immediate breakdown of all civilization on Bruh Capital. Mass famines and deaths were widespread throughout the planet, diseases and injuries went untreated, and it is estimated that massive percentage of civilians perished to the cold alone. This era was commonly referred to as **The Era of Darkness** by inhabitants of Bruh Capital at that time.

The Joe Empire attempted in many ways to impose their administration on the collapsing society on Bruh Capital, but to no avail. Simply landing on the EMP-ridden planet required heavy and expensive usage of EMP shielding technologies, and many times the ships would still succumb to the EMP clouds, unable to take off. The Joe forces also found it impossible to set up administrative and power systems throughout the entirety of the capital, as all technology must be heavily shielded (and the EMP shielding themselves must also be powered, causing an exponential expenditure in energy). All efforts to take over control of Bruh Capital by the Joe Empire was completely halted by 65 JOD, and the Joe High Command deemed Bruh Capital a dead planet, to be discarded and ignored. From that point onwards, only the far-reaching patrols of the Joe Empire ever laid eyes on the desolate planet.

Through death, famine and bloodshed, the population on Bruh Capital eventually stabilized. However, food and water was still the most important and scarce resource, and warlords, tribal leaders and clans rose up around the control of what little food and water sources were left on Bruh Capital. Civilians were swept up in the endless wars and conflicts between the warlords as they competed for control over the essential resources.
