Alba
The Alba are the silver-haired majority in the 86 -Eighty-Six- franchise who hold privilege in the Republic of San Magnolia. The republic’s systematic dehumanisation of the Eighty-Six—Colorata minorities—allows the Alba to maintain the fiction of a “war without casualties” whilst the Colorata fight and die in the Eighty-Sixth Sector. Handler Lena is Alba; the Para-RAID forces her to confront the humanity of the pilots she commands.
