  We discuss the low-energy physics which arises on stacks of squashed brane
solutions of $SU(N)$ ${\cal N}=4$ SYM, deformed by a cubic soft SUSY breaking
potential. A brane configuration is found which leads to a low-energy physics
similar to the standard model in the broken phase, assuming suitable VEV's of
the scalar zero modes. Due to the triple self-intersection of the branes, the
matter content includes that of the MSSM with precisely 3 generations and
right-handed neutrinos. No exotic quantum numbers arise, however there are
extra chiral superfields with the quantum numbers of the Higgs doublets, the
$W,Z$, $e_R$ and $u_R$, whose fate depends on the details of the rich Higgs
sector. The chiral low-energy sector is complemented by a heavy mirror sector
with the opposite chiralities, as well as super-massive Kaluza-Klein towers
completing the ${\cal N}=4$ multiplets. The sectors are protected by two gauged
global $U(1)$ symmetries.
