Brak (sometimes written Biraq or Birak) (Arabic: براك‎) is a town in the Wadi al Shatii District in west-central Libya. It is the administrative center of the district.

Overview

The town has a population of 39,444 (As of 2004) and is home to a technical college of Sabha University. Much of the new development in the town is occurring to the north of the old town center, which features gardens and forts from the Italian and Ottoman eras.

The technical college "Faculty of Engineering and Technology", now a college of Sebha University, was previously known as the "Higher Institute of Technology", and it is this college that gives much value to the town, as it is a well-known research and academic organization. The college comprises six distinct departments; three of which are specialized in the engineering arm of the college, namely: Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The other arm, the technical arm, has similarly has three departments: Department of Medical Lab Technology, Department of Food Science Technology, and Department of Environmental Science. Graduates of this college are considered the best in the country, as the academic and technical rank of this college is both prestigious and well-known. There are plans to expand this college more to accommodate more students and staff and to have more departments and specialties.

Brak is a supervillain on the 1966 Hanna-Barbera animated series Space Ghost, portrayed as a catlike alien space pirate trying to conquer the galaxy. Brak appeared alongside his twin brother Sisto in such episodes as "The Lure" and "The Looters", and was also a member of the Council of Doom (an organization of Space Ghost villains which originally consisted of Zorak, Moltar, Metallus, Creature King, Black Widow, and himself). In the 1990s the Brak character re-appeared on Cartoon Network's adult-oriented talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and then became the main character in its spin-off The Brak Show also on Cartoon Network. The last two incarnations of Brak's character changed from an evil genius supervillain into a childlike simpleton. It was confirmed in Cartoon Planet that Brak is a dunce because he suffered brain damage after being thrown into a swarm of Pirranamyte in the Space Ghost episode "The Lure".

Brak's voice was provided by Keye Luke in the original 1966 animated series and Sisto's voice was provided by Don Messick.

In all appearances after that episode, Brak has been voiced by Andy Merrill.
