What they say:
The Republic of San Magnolia has been at war with the Empire of Giad for 9 years. Initially, the Empire had the upper hand with their autonomous Legion machines. After a while, the Republic developed their own machines called Juggernauts. The Juggernauts are overseen by Handlers and are piloted by humans known as the 86, those born without silver hair like the Alba population. Stripped of all rights afforded to the Alba, the 86 continue to fight on without public knowledge of their deaths. When Alba Major Vladilena “Lena” Mirizé assumes command of the 86 squadron Spearhead, things begin to change.
