Six Nations

The Six Nations are the leading lawful faction on Planet Aquamarine at the beginning of Edition 1.0 (including **Ch 1**).

## History

The Six Nations were formed during the Old Era war that predates "The Legendary Mechanic" and Edition 1.0 of Galaxy.

Before the "Battle of Andrea", there was a widespread war that lead to the rapid expansion of the Six Nations, while consuming the Old Era Nations. The process led to a lot of chaos and the displacement of millions of people (many of whom became "Wanderers").

The Battle of Andrea is a proxy war that occurred on the Continent of Andrea, and involved all the six nations warring against each other. The battle was inconclusive as none emerged superior to the others, however, the end result was the Legitimization of the Six Nations.

## Stardragon

### Introduction

*Stardragon—one of the Six Nations. The majority of Stardragon’s population was comprised of yellow people, and its national symbol was a celestial dragon.*

*The bad blood between Stardragon and the Germinal Organization can be traced back to the Battle of Andrea, where the Germinal Organization had colluded with other enemies of Stardragon to launch large-scale assaults on its cities during the crucial period of the war. Casualties numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and Stardragon had been forced to recall all its forces. Back then, it had severely weakened their status as one of the Six Nations. -* **Ch 20**

### Overview

Stardragon was located in the Southern Continent, and was the first country that Han Xiao enters (after his escape from Germinal). It is also the weakest of the Six Nations.

The geographical distribution is unknown, but it is a very large country (it took Han Xiao 3 days to travel from somewhere in its middle, to the Western Capital, by train). The main power systems in Stardragon are the Pugilist and Mechanic classes.

### Division 13

Division 13 is the intelligence arm of the Stardragon government, and is responsible for covert-ops (as well as weapons R&D). Han Xiao (then called Zero) joined Division 13 as an informant and an operative, and used the resources of Division 13 to further his strength as a mechanic.

Division 13 was involved in the attacks on Germinal bases, including the Dark Crow Valley attack, and the battle against Germinal's retreating forces when the militaries of Stardragon and Hesla coordinated to attack the Germinal forces of the Southern Continent (as they evacuated to Andrea by sea).

## Hesla

### Introduction

*Hesla and Stardragon belonged to the same continent. The more liberal culture on Hesla was perhaps due to the hot and humid climate. Even outside of the beaches, bikini girls and topless guys could be seen walking on the streets.* - **Ch 72**

*Hesla had the strongest maritime force among the Six Nations - it focused on developing its navy to protect its numerous coastal cities. There were four continents on Aquamarine. They were separated from one another by the massive oceans. -* **Ch 89**

### Overview

Hesla has a backseat role in the events of "The Legendary Mechanic", and is only active twice: during the attack on the Dark Crow Valley Base, and the battle against the evacuating Germinal troops at one of the rivers of the Southern Continent.

Hesla is shown to be antagonistic to Stardragon (with a history of wars in the past), and their agent Winna, attacks Han Xiao in the hallway of their intelligence bureau building to try and use scare tactics on him. However, his response instead scares her. During the actual battle, Col Carl (commander of the Hesla army) tried to kill Han Xiao and his team (using an "accidental" missile strike), however, they managed to survive. Later, Han Xiao kills Col Carl (a sniper shot through the head).

other members of their organization include victor...

### Blood Pact Society

The Blood Pact Society was an international organisation of assasins on Planet Aquamarine, it was an agency of the Dark Net, and carried out covert operations for the Black Market. One of it's branches was in the "Hotel Victoria" hotel in Morning Wing City (on the 23rd - 25th floors).

Han Xiao is able to join the Blood Pact Society (and the DarkNet by extension) through this branch. He later becomes a legendary figure on Planet Aquamarine, and the top ranked assassin on the Dark Net, becoming the poster-boy of the Blood Pact Society (which had been waning before he joined).

## Maple

### Introduction

*Some agents chuckled to themselves. Maple was known for its inflexible system. Apparently when the Shanuks from Theseus and Maple collaborated to wipe out the Vagrant Warlords, the short-tempered Shanuks were so frustrated with the elaborate reporting procedures of Maple that they almost fought with the officials at the Maple Intelligence Unit’s Caroma headquarters.* - **Ch 72**

*The country of Maple felt lifeless. Its rigid political system, uneven wealth distribution, and resources were all tightly controlled by politicians, and the low class had very limited opportunities to improve their life. ‘Barely living and just waiting to die’ was the best phrase to describe civilians in Maple.*

*Walking on the street, long-faced pedestrians passed by him. Han Xiao rubbed his face. He felt that such a confident and handsome face did not fit in with the state of the people on the street.* - **Ch 178**

### Overview

Maple is generally shown as a strict authoritarian government, with an unhappy populace (with limited power to revolt).

### Louis Research Institute

The Louis Research Institute was a research and development organisation based in the Kaylos City of Maples. It primarily dealt with mutated plants and animals and developed highly dangerous drugs and serums (such as the Death Virus Enhancement Agent, Green Lizard Potion, Wild Bull Steroid, Thunder Claw Extraction, Stone Plaque Pathogen).

In his previous life, the Louis Research Institute had been a source of drug agents, and repeatable quests for the players. In his current life, Han Xiao sought out the Louis Research Institute for the Death Virus Enhancement Agent. However, after discovering that they had tricked some hapless heroes into doing some dangerous tasks for them, Han Xiao robs them, and reveals their deceit to the heroes.

## Trivia

* In **CH 32,** DarkStar is mentioned for the first time by Han Xiao, as a way to convince the Star Dragon Intelligence Bureau (Division 13), that his intelligence is authentic: he insinuates that Germinal has been able to contact DarkStar, this is high-grade intelligence that only Gu Hui (Division 13 Head) could understand. However, this information is, in fact, false; in the current timeline, Germinal never contacted DarkStar (in Han Xiao's previous timeline, the event occurs much later, in Edition 2.0).
* "Shattered Star Ring - Colton Star Cluster - Garton Galaxy - ninth star system - Planet Aquamarine": Is the official coordinates of Planet Aquamarine in interstellar star maps.
