The Traktionstadtsgesellschaft (roughly translatable as Association of Traction Cities) is an organization of German cities in the novel A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve. Originally, it was a group of twelve German traction cities who joined together to resist the advance of the Green Storm in destroying all traction cities. The Green Storm were seeming to win until many more cities joined the Traktionstadtsgesellschaft. This led to a stalemate with neither side willing to give. Cities who did not join the Traktionstadtsgellschaft often sent money or supplies to help in the war, and also profited from selling the alliance weapons. The cities agreed not prey on each other (see Municipal Darwinism) until the war was over. The Traktionstadtsgesellschaft's symbol is that of a wheeled and armoured fist. Members frequently used airships known as Cosgrave Super-Gnats as fighter bombers to support their movements on the ground. This was their reply to the variety of airships deployed by the Green Storm to bomb traction cities and to drop stalkers onto the walkways of the Traktionstadtsgesellschaft members.
