Bureau of Swordmancers
The Bureau of Swordmancers (also known as Hongshan Swordmancers or HS.Swords) is an important research and production institution directly managed by the Hongshan Academy of Sciences (HAS). The Bureau is responsible for the research, development, and production of high-quality light and heavy equipment and weaponry for HAS and the entirety of the Civilization Band. While managing production at various regional branches under HAS, the Bureau is also in charge of auditing and distributing production blueprints, as well as conducting final quality verification and validation of the equipment it produces.
The Bureau of Swordmancers was founded to address humanity's severe disadvantage during the First Aggeloi War after losing the Cosmic Gate of Talos-II. The Bureau then focused its research efforts on developing weapons and equipment that can effectively counter the Aggeloid threat. This laid the foundation upon which the Bureau produced equipment with a wide range of specifications capable of fulfilling the needs of military personnel from various Terran nations. To this day, many pieces of old equipment manufactured during the War still bear these inscriptions: Manufactured by the Bureau of Swordmancers.
Even now, weapons and equipment manufactured by the Bureau of Swordmancers remain the first choice of HAS personnel. Products of the Bureau are still very well received by the market of the Civilization Band.
