Brighton was originally settled by miners looking to exploit the copper and silver ores on the world. These miners later joined the [[St. Ives Mercantile Association]], and later the Capellan Confederation. The Capellan industrial complex made good use of the refined ores from Brighton. Brighton's other claim to fame was that it is the site of the only official Capellan political prison.<ref name=HL150/>

In [[2998]], the Brighton militia held off superior [[AFFS]] forces for several weeks, long enough for [[Warrior House]] reinforcements to arrive. Though this was successful, the population suffered.<ref name=HL150/>

Brazen Heart is a satellite of Brighton.<ref name=HB:HLp82/> Frequently described as a world with fierce deserts, it was primarily used as a prison colony, featuring several copper mines where prisoners work.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 126</ref> The local flora is edible, but provides no nutritional value. Many escaped prisoners have been found dead from starvation with stomachs full of local plants.<ref name=hbhl125/>

[[Maximilian Liao]] was always worried that an uprising by the prisoners would take control of the moon. He ordered the creation of the ''[[Hong Lung]]'' Interdiction Station which was a space station designed to destroy any [[small craft|shuttles]] and [[DropShip]]s that might carry escaping prisoners.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 165</ref>

Prior to the [[Fourth Succession War]], the [[Capellan Confederation]] maintained Brazen Heart as a supposedly secret prison colony for political dissidents.<ref name=TlaL>''Think Like a Liao''</ref> However, there was an active network of dissidents throughout the Confederation who were able to travel from and to Brazen Heart even then.<ref name=TlaL/> [[Hanya No Cha]] was born on Brazen Heart to a commoner's family.
