District 6

"*Our hovercraft, our high-speed trains, and our cargo trains come to us from District 6. Ironically, the citizens here have little love for travel.*"
―Description from *The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide*[src]

**District 6** is one of the 13 districts of Panem, and its principal industry is transportation. It is hinted that morphling addiction may be an issue in the district; the victors who participated in the Third Quarter Quell were both addicted to the painkiller (so much so that Katniss Everdeen nicknamed them the "Morphlings"), which they probably took to forget what they had experienced in their previous Hunger Games.

District 6 seems to be one of the more rebellious districts; its victors helped keep Katniss and Peeta alive during the Quarter Quell. Plutarch Heavensbee mentioned that they had some knowledge of the planned breakout from the arena. District 6 was heavily bombed by the Capitol's Air Forces.
