[[Sho]], the 28<sup>th</sup> King of Qin, personally appointed each member to freely wage war in his name as he aspired to conquer and rule over all of China and the central plains.

History
During the reign of the 28th Qin King Shou, the war-hungry monarch created this system as a means through which he would establish his rule over all of China. This allowed Qin to gain a high level of military intimidation and conquer vast territories. Qin was considered the most dangerous state in all of the central plains during the era of the War God and would cause enemies to lock their gates whenever one of their armies drew near. Some would simply open their gates and surrender rather than challenge the famous group of great generals. The Six Greats also fought many raging battles against Three Great Heavens of Zhao and Seven Fire Dragons of Wei.

The system was eventually restated by Ei Sei, the 31st Qin king, in the year of 234 B.C. Mou Bu, the first member and leader of the new generation, Tou, the second great, Ou Sen, the third great, Yo Tan Wa, the fourth great, and Kan Ki, the fifth great were elected to become the new members of the reborn system.

—Shou Hei Kun on the strengths of the Six Greats system and purpose. |
The greatest strength of the system is the caliber of the great generals chosen to be one of the six and the autonomy given to each in order to conduct separate wars on behalf of the Qin king, with the six acting as a strong independent force in the warring states. In addition to this, the skills and strengths of the chosen members helped spread the fame of Qin's military might to all. The previous generation' strength was considered on par with Zhao's Three Great Heavens, Wei's Seven Fire Dragons and the late "Military God" Gaku Ki of Yan. Ou Ki once commented that one would need to have experienced over hundred battles and have immense martial talent to be considered in the same class as the Six.
While Six Greats fought their battles independently, they always knew others had their backs, which allowed them to claim territory without pause or the fear of enemy counter attacks.
Weakness
Despite their strengths, the system has its weaknesses. The first being the risk of rebellion that came from handling thousands of soldiers over to a single individual to command. This was not seen as a problem during King Sho's reign due to the unshakeable "loyalty of iron" that existed between him and the great generals. However, while the current generation have shown themselves to be honorable, they are enigmatic figures with different personalities that may or may not conflict with the present King's morals.
The system also requires a constant resupply of soldiers and supplies which put a great strain on the state's economic resources and coffers. It was also stated that having more than six members would create unrest in the lower ranks and the edge the state would obtain by quick decision making would be lost.
