The 6th Airborne Division is an airborne infantry division of the Lucis Army during the Second Europan War. Despite its name, the 6th was actually the second of two airborne divisions raised by the Lucis Army during the war, the other being the 1st Airborne Division. The 6th Airborne Division was formed in the Second Europan War, in mid-1941, and was commanded by Major-General George C. Hale The division consisted of the 3rd and 5th Parachute Brigades along with the 6th Airlanding Brigade and supporting units.
Following the war, the 6th Airborne Division was classified as an elite formation specializing in airborne raids and landings. It often worked closely with the Special Air Service. Since EWII, it has served in a lot of conflicts, including the Imperial Crisis.
