Beta-Sixdouze

Beta-Sixdouze is a visual novel set in a space opera story, with more than 10 hours of adventure and original anime artwork in its event CGs. It includes professional Japanese voice acting, mecha duels and characters with fluffy tails.

The threat of Consuelo

About 380,000 kilometers from Earth, a monstrous rose blooms beyond the night sky. Its silhouette glows in the moonlight, but no one knows when it will strike again, or its true name and intentions. Humanity calls it “Consuelo.”

Yosuke Hakone, a combat pilot in Earth’s military, receives an unlikely mission: travel into space aboard the legendary Battle-SHEEP Sura with his mysterious new copilot, Hanaco, and defeat humanity’s greatest threat. Hanaco’s regressions and Yosuke’s intergenerational inner demons stand in the way, while the question of who Hanaco really is remains unanswered.

The crew

Yosuke is the STX Space Force’s newest captain, with the rank of Silver Star. His selflessness led to his promotion as a Battle-SHEEP pilot, and he is ready to give his life for the mission and humankind. As the grandson of a notorious war criminal, however, he often responds to the past with misplaced shame and guilt; Hanaco helps him face those demons.

Hanaco is Yosuke’s new copilot, a Blue Star and a wunderkind at channeling vast amounts of pure sel. Honest, simple and pure of heart, she can struggle to read a room and often takes social cues and conversations at face value.

Yosuke’s personal SHEEP mechanic and closest friend is Jean Valjean, a neo-fennec known by number 24601. A jokester who brings life to a party, he is also quick to listen. He has a criminal record and, like many neos, is a devout animist.

Other characters

• Antoine de Sagan: A ’39 survivor and former STX-SF commander and pilot, originally from France. He has honey-wheat hair and sapphire eyes, and prefers the more masculine “Sagan” to “Antoine.”
• Wolf: An STX Space Force general and Blue Star military hero who holds the record for the most Consuelos defeated. He has withdrawn from the front lines to organize his Elites, and is Eliza’s closest confidant. His date and place of birth are unknown.
• Eliza: An “artificial goddess” android created by scientist Jean Regulus, with a mind uploaded from autonomous will first discovered in SHEEP. She oversees online mental care for the residents of Battleship Baobab as their foremost psychiatrist, and excels at loving conversations. She and Wolf are close companions; she literally has no heart.
• Origin: An enigmatic neo-fennec landlady to Yosuke and Jean Valjean. Her number and age are unknown, and she insists her slate-like black tablet is a notebook device.
• Lamune: The STX Space Force’s navigation AI and official mascot, and the most shared AR anim on Battleship Baobab. The military website offers him as a free download; his lamb-like charms and fluffy face enrich people’s lives.
• Lococo Nanaco: Neo-fennec number 655775, who works at a Hawaiian bar on Cosmic Oahu. Her strong “Adam blood”—a term for apparent traits from early neo-fennec ancestors—gives her unusually long arms.
• Jean Regulus: An altruistic, lion-hearted research scientist who works on genetic engineering alongside his main Monolith project. He is Sagan’s childhood friend and something of a big brother, and remains close to his old war buddy Ichizo Yodaka.
• Lunette: A neo-fennec doted on by Sagan, currently living the lab life at the STX-SF R&D Center. She likes cheese and salty blue boudin sausages.
• Ichizo Yodaka: An STX Space Force elite commander and Blue Star captain. He joined the STX with Regulus and is now Sagan’s superior officer. Despite his appearance, he has a sweet tooth and is Yosuke Hakone’s grandfather.

Beta-Sixdouze is the second entry in Dento Nanahoshi and Liar-soft’s STX-SF series, following ALPHA-NIGHTHAWK.
