The Republic of San Magnolia has been under siege by the Giadian Empire for a long time. The Republic developed autonomous drones in response, which they claim have eliminated casualties in the conflict. However, this is not entirely true.

They pilot the Republic's autonomous drones, stripped of their humanity and autonomy.
