86 EIGHTY-SIX

Referred to as Juggernauts, these formidable unmanned combat drones stand as the Republic of San Magnolia's response to the autonomous drone onslaught from the neighboring Empire of Giad—the Legion. Yet they are unmanned only in name; in truth they are piloted by the Eighty-Six, a group deemed subhuman and treated as mere tools of war. Driven by a secret agenda of his own, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron—made up entirely of Eighty-Sixers—continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where death seems the only certain outcome.
