We present a complete set of generators for the rank 5 special unitary group, SU(6), to unify strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions. The unification is realized through the breaking pattern of SU(6)→SU(3)C⊗SU(3)H⊗U(1)C followed by SU(3)H→SU(2)L⊗U(1)B. All known elementary particles and its quantum numbers are well accommodated in its {6} and {15} multiplets. These multiplets require a new neutral fermion which should be assigned as the heavy Majorana neutrino to realize the seesaw mechanism naturally.
