A unified SU(6) gauge theory of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions is presented. It requires eight quarks, six of which actually participate in the weak interactions, and eight leptons. The quarks and leptons belong to 15-plet and singlet representations, while gluons and leptoquark and weak vector bosons from a 35-plet representation. Three steps of Higgs mechanism are employed to split the masses of vector bosons, quarks, and leptons.
