Dive into the Factions and Lore of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Understand the corporations, political groups, and the struggle for Coral on Rubicon 3.

Alright, let's get you up to speed on the world of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. It's a bit of a mess out there, but that's where you come in, right? This is your go-to for understanding who's who and what's what on Rubicon 3. ### The Big Picture: What's Happening? So, way back when, someone found a super valuable substance called Coral on Rubicon 3. Naturally, this led to a huge disaster. Fast forward a few decades, and guess what? Coral's back, and everyone wants a piece of it. This kicks off what they call the Coral War. You step into this chaos as Augmented Human C4-621, an independent mercenary. Your job? Sneak onto Rubicon 3 and make a profit off this whole mess. Easy peasy, right? Well, maybe not *easy*, but that's the gig. This whole situation is pretty intense, with a provisional rating of PEGI 16, and the game itself retails for $59.99. ### Who's Who: Characters and Factions The wiki breaks down the players into a few categories: * Characters: These are the individuals you'll interact with, though the main focus for you is usually your handler and the mission givers. * Factions: This is where things get interesting. You've got: * Corporations: These are the big players with the most resources and often the most questionable motives. Think of them as the mega-companies fighting for control of Coral. * Major Corporations: The heavy hitters you'll be dealing with most often. * Other Corporations: Smaller players, but don't underestimate them. * Political Organizations: Groups with their own agendas, often clashing with the corporations. * Resistance: Folks fighting against the corporate control. * Government: The official (or unofficial) powers that be. * Other Organizations: Groups that don't quite fit neatly into the other categories. ### Key Terms to Remember: * Coral: The super valuable, mysterious substance at the heart of the conflict on Rubicon 3. * Rubicon 3: The planet where all the action is happening. * Coral War: The ongoing conflict sparked by the resurgence of Coral. * Augmented Human C4-621: That's you! An independent mercenary pilot. Keep these terms in mind as you navigate the missions. Knowing who you're working for (or against) can make a big difference. Good luck out there, Mercenary!
