Ingram Ingram is the capital of Milites Empire in " Final Fantasy Type - 0 " and is where the White Peristylium and the Steelworks manufacturing plant are located . The White Peristylium is an organization that conducts research into the energy of the White Tiger Crystal led by Marshal Cid Aulstyne . The energy that powers the imperial teknology comes from the White Tiger Crystal , allowing Milites to build a city of such a grand scale as Ingram . Its different districts are numbered rather than named . Story . Jörg Paradis was a lowly lord in Azurr who encountered the White Tiger l ' Cie in 174 , three years before he crowned himself Emperor of Milites . His study in crystal - driven technology led to the invention of firearms . His subjugation of Azurr was swift and merciless , and out of the ashes rose Ingram in the north , the capital chosen to house the White Peristylium as Paradis made his formal declaration of empire . Ingram has served as the Militesi capital ever since . After Marshal Cid Aulstyne usurps the emperor , subjugates the White Tiger Crystal and launches an offensive on the rest of Orience in a bid for world dominion , the Dominion of Rubrum Central Command determines the empire ' s new magitek armor a significant threat to dominion strategy . The Consortium of Eight resolves to dispatch a special task force to Ingram and Class Zero receives orders to destroy the factory and R & D facility responsible for producing the new prototypes . The cadets infiltrate Steelworks with help from Dominion Intel in the form of Naghi Minatsuchi , and destroy the prototype magitek armor Brionac designed to deploy the Militesi Ultima Bomb . The White Tiger Primus l ' Cie Nimbus confronts the cadets but doesn ' t have the full power of the Crystal behind him , and fails to finish the cadets before a ceasefire is called . Queen Andoria of the Kingdom of Concordia and her convoy of dragons fly across the imperial city declaring the Fabula Pact and all fighting is to cease immediately . Class Zero ' s commanding officer , Kurasame Susaya , travels to Ingram as Chancellor Khalia Chival VI ' s aide , and negotiates for the cadets ' safety . The cadets disagree with the peace treaty , viewing Milites as the aggressor to the war , but meet with Queen Andoria personally who implores that peace is the Will of the Crystals . As the leaders of Orience ' s Crystal - States convene for armistice talks , the cadets are free to explore the city until their next mission , albeit they are under surveillance . Machina Kunagiri is called away to talk to the dominion commandant in private . The commandant manipulates Machina into becoming an informant on Arecia Al - Rashia , the Class Zero adoptive mother and benefactor , and leader of Sorcery Division of Akademeia , as well as the class ' s cadets , by claiming Arecia and the cadets were responsible for Machina ' s brother Izana ' s death . Outside King and Deuce talk to Aria , an orderly who had come to Ingram to support the class , who seems too shy to even open her mouth . As the two encourage her to express herself , Aria reveals a new side as a talkative girl who had repressed her true nature due to her mother ' s instruction to not get on people ' s nerves . As the cadets wander the streets they discover many of the imperial troops unhappy with the ceasefire , and shocked and appalled to find the infamous " red devils " are but teenagers , considering the concept of child soldiers barbaric . Deuce and Queen explore the city together and spot a Dominion Intel member in the city , becoming suspicious . After the cadets return to Armada Hotel Machina and Rem feel their powers fading , identifying it as the effect of the empire ' s crystal jammer . Everybody is alarmed as they realize they have walked into a trap , and Aria rushes into the room to warn the cadets . She is shot by a sniper and collapses on the floor . Rem wants to tend to her , but Machina urges everyone to scatter to avoid Aria ' s fate , and the cadets fight their way through to escape the city . It turns out Queen Andoria has been assassinated and Class Zero is blamed for it . Unable to contact Central Command , a possibility that they have been abandoned to fend for themselves is raised . After defeating Vajra , the magitek armor sent to destroy them , the cadets face off against Celestia , the queen ' s aide who , likewise , holds them culpable for the regicide . She sends her dragon at the cadets and defeats Machina and Rem , but Deuce stops the others from attacking it . Celestia calls the dragon away , and the cadets explain their side of the story . Celestia says the dragons believe them , and helps them escape the city to a deserted house in the Old Lorica Region . It is later learned that the Consortium of Eight determined the ceasefire over as soon as the news of Queen Andoria ' s assassination spread , and that war against the empire would resume immediately . Thus the chancellor and his entourage had retreated to the dominion on the first opportunity . The Concordian throne is inherited by a king who allies with the empire and hands the kingdom ' s Azure Dragon Crystal to the imperial " protection " sparking rumors of a conspiracy . The Militesi - Concordian coalition falls apart when Concordia capitulates to the dominion and the Militesi forces are obliterated by the Verboten Eidolon Alexander summoned by the Vermilion Bird Secundus l ' Cie Caetuna . As the dominion concentrates its forces on taking the empire , the Militesi towns surrounding Ingram fall one by one until the dominion legionaries march on Ingram . Aria was taken in by the Militesi General Qator Bashtar and nursed back to health . She is so grateful for his help she devotes herself to him and refuses to return to the dominion even on the eve of the final battle . Seeing the imperial surrender inevitable , a Militesi scientist fits General Qator Bashtar ' s magitek armor Gabriel with a prototype Ultima Bomb planning on wiping out the invading forces alongside Ingram . Realizing what is happening and not wanting to see Ingram destroyed , Bashtar flies Gabriel into the atmosphere where the bomb detonates clear of the city . As Cid Aulstyne flees the White Peristylium falls and Orience is united under the banner of the Vermilion Bird . Aria loses all memories of Bashtar and wanders the streets of Ingram clueless until she is shot by the remaining Militesi troops . The dominion ' s victory celebrations are short - lived as Tempus Finis commences and Rursan Reaver s lay waste to Orience . Locations . Steelworks .
