Atlas (kingdom)

Atlas is a kingdom said to be part of some kind of region known as Mantle, in the world of Remnant.

It is first mentioned by Sun Wukong in Black and White, when he said that there was a large SDC shipment coming into Vale from there. It is the location of the Schnee Dust Company headquarters.

Technological Advances
The kingdom is known for its innovation and far-reaching technological achievements, having been the first to develop, and then gifted the Cross Continental Transmit system to the rest of the world after the Great War, allowing for communication between the four kingdoms.

Armed Forces
The kingdom's armed forces are made up of an organized body known as the Atlesian military, which has always supported the idea of the removal of men from the dangers of the battlefield, thus a large component of their forces is made up of cybernetic soldiers, such as the Atlesian Knight-200, designed to replace the standard Atlesian Knight-130 security model used by Remnant for the past several years.

They do however understand that many situations still require a human presence, with human soldiers still serving among their forces, and in conjunction with the Schnee Dust Company have also introduced piloted mechanized battle-suits known as the Atlesian Paladin-290.

It was referenced once again in Welcome to Beacon in Remnant: The Game.

Trivia

 * Its name is likely a reference to the Titan Atlas, a being in Greek mythology that was punished for opposing the Olympians by being made to hold up the sky for all eternity. It could also be a reference to Atlas as a large map, similar in symbolism to other Academy names such as Beacon and Signal.
 * According to Welcome to Beacon, Ozpin said to James Ironwood "So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas? Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival." which indicated that Ironwood is the headmaster of an academy from Atlas.
 * The Schnee Dust Company has its main headquarters located in the Kingdom of Atlas.
