86

The Republic claims it has defeated the Empire’s Legion without losing a single soldier, but the official account hides the truth. Beyond its 85 recognized districts lies the supposedly nonexistent 86th District, where young people known as the Eighty-Six fight the Legion in unmanned machines. Shinn directs these young fighters on the battlefield, while Lena commands their unit from a distant rear position as its Handler, using special communications. Their story begins amid the harsh and sorrowful struggle of the Eighty-Six.
