The Republic of San Magnolia manufactures an unmanned combat drone engine known as the “Juggernaut.” They did so in reaction to an attack by the Giad Empire’s “Legion,” an autonomous robotic drone.
However, unmanned drones exist only in a technical sense. They were actually piloted by 86. They were people who were deemed lower to humans in the Republic of San Magnolia and were treated as though they were just tools.
Shin, the captain of the Spearhead Squadron, which consists of the Eighty-six, is motivated to fulfill his own secret purpose. As a result, he continues to fight in vain on the battlefield, where only death awaits him.
On the other side, Vladilena Milize or Major Lena were among the few persons who cared about the Eighty-Six and treated them as humans.
