Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon - Previous Titles and History

The verdict day, proclaiming the “end”.

Skirmishes broke out across the globe as the Three Forces struggled for world domination.

Army numbers swelled, and the once-proud mercenaries found themselves ostracized for refusing to take sides. The world had come back from the brink of destruction.

But the fighting only grew fiercer.

It was the eve of what would come to be known as the Verdict War. This is the forgotten tale of a lone mercenary.

A city whose former name has been forgotten and is now simply called “The City”.

The “FATHER”, the leader of the city, established a dictatorial rule system with a strict isolation policy and vanished countless people from the city, forcing them to live in the underground slums.

FATHER’s lieutenant, Jack Batty, united other rebels to join the Resistance and attempted to overthrow FATHER’s authority.

However, the plan was exposed ahead of time, and the coup ended in failure.
The resistance, having suffered a crushing blow, was forced to retreat once more.

A year has passed.

The resistance group left behind by its leader was inherited by his own daughter.

Unmanned suicide weapons ravaged the world.

Corporations that used to fight one another lost everything in the aftermath.

Instead of trying to rebuild individually, they joined forces to form “Alliance”.

The organization got off to a rocky start. Months went by before things were running smoothly.

A new world order was ushered in, one ruled by Alliance.

But a rebel group known as “Vertex” vowed to overthrow them.

A war between the two groups broke out and quickly escalated into chaos.

Now Vertex has issued a declaration.

Their final attack launches in 24 hours.

Shortly after the fall of the Layered’s machine-run society, humanity has begun the journey back to the surface. In search of a new world, humanity dispatched reconnaissance teams to investigate the surface and look for areas for them to return to.

After a few years, during a survey of an unexplored area, a huge crater was discovered.
It turns out that it is an area that shows traces of humankind’s past and has a distinct management mechanism from the past.

In order to pursue the path to restoration, the world organization intensified its development operations, resulting in conflicts such as resource ownership and numerous rights disputes.

Thus, the world was once again descending into chaos.

One entity ruled the world – it was simply called “The Controller”.

The Controller handled the major decisions of everyone’s life.

People took it for granted that The Controller would handle every aspect of their lives for them.

Under the rule of The Controller, people lived safe, yet uninspired lives of a promised prosperity.

As time went on, several powerful factors known as “Corporations” came on the scene.

In their separate struggles to gain absolute power, the Corporations waged war upon each other.

The Controller even manipulated the Corporation’s war.

All was going according to the plans of The Controller, but somehow, the forces of chaos began to rise.

More than ten years have passed since the National Dismantlement War.

A League of Corporations has taken control of the world. To escape the pollution that poisons the surface of the planet, they have built massive floating platforms called Cradles.

Only there, 7000 meters above the ground, is the air clean and safe. Already, half of mankind lives in the skies. The planet’s surface has become a battlefield, where armies fight to control the resource plants that feed the Cradles.

As the war came to a close, giant humanoid weapons called Armored Core NEXTs enabled the League to firmly establish their rule of the planet. Their pilots are called Lynx.

Fearing the power and independence of these NEXTs, the League left them behind on the surface. The Lynx now work as mercenaries for an organization called Collared. While the League armies derive their power from massive Arms Forts, the once-mighty NEXTs are consigned to the poisoned Earth, serving as foot soldiers in the never-ending Economic War.

The world was terminally ill, and nation-state governments were losing their power to rule.

Finally, the six giant corporate groups, which were the dominant authority, abandoned the government’s preservation of order and launched an all-out war to create a new order of their own.

A large-scale coup unprecedented in human history was overwhelmingly settled in a very short amount of time, and once the war ended, a new system was built to maintain order.
People moved to colonies, which are groups of settlements where they are assured food in exchange for their labor.

After five years of corporate governance, the new order remained stable.

People enthusiastically welcome the competition of unmanned and AI-controlled robots, “Armored Core”, as a new form of entertainment.The careful customization enables a robot to keep its ideal balance of speed and power.

Furthermore, power produced by a generator is transmitted to every part of the robot, and the AI is constructed to choose the most appropriate action for every situation.

People are fascinated by a world that requires high knowledge and strategy, and they engage in quiet and hot battles every day.

Only those whom Athena favors can get the glory of victory.

A long time have passed since the incident at the Silent Line, and organizations known as “Corporations” have constructed, moved, and dominated the world.

In order to expand their dominion, each corporation was selfishly developing frontiers on a massive scale while claiming to expand the living area of humankind.

Navis, a new company that discovered an entirely new resource, emerged.

A silent battle over the “new resources” has begun between Navis and other corporations.

Eventually, the megacorporation Mirage launched its forces against Navis and the world is at war once again.

Several years have passed since Leos Clyne’s coup d’etat on Mars. Following the turmoil on Mars, the Earth’s government was compelled to commit significant resources to rebuild.

Above all, strong leadership was required to restore and maintain order on Mars, which had lost influential power institutions, and military power would inevitably be strengthened for that purpose.

The corporate organizations, on the other hand, felt a tremendous sense of crisis for their own existence in response to the government’s rapid expansion in military power and secretly strengthened their own weapons of war.

Relations between the government and corporations deteriorated gradually, and the situation deepened into turmoil.

Earth Year 223.In the wake of the final war known as the Great Destruction, mankind was forced underground.

But with the discovery of the pre-war Mars Immigration Project, the human race would again prosper and flourish.

The age of conflict in the subterranean world was finally over and the newly established government made restoration of the devastated environment its priority.

Emigration to Mars was encouraged, but this influx of settlers posed a threat to law and order on the Red Planet.

Corporations that were all-powerful during the subterranean era lost their foothold when the government was created.

But with a new planet, ripe for exploration, they discovered opportunities to regain their strength.

The main character gets involved in large-scale terrorism and loses his family as a result.The main character then became a Raven in order to find and avenge his family.

The chase has finally ended, but it seems like someone is behind this suspicious meeting.

“Infiltrate the underground urban complex “Amber Crown”.
After accepting the mission, he meets a female Raven named “Sumika Juutilainen”.
Sumika Juutilainen was captured by the Doomsday Organization and was due to be a test subject for Project Phantasma, but she escaped just in time.
What will come at the end of the deadly battle against the “Irregular” Raven called “Stinger” who stands in the way of the main character as he carries out his mission…

A newcomer, Raven, accepts missions as a way to survive in a corrupt society. Escort, sabotage, terrorism suppression… Even in the face of unexpected crises, they completed their missions as if they were natural.

Then, one day, he learns of the existence of a power even greater than the two major corporations, Chrome and Murakumo Millennium.

Whatever the Raven saw remains unknown.
