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/>
