What is Last Exile?
#

Set in a world reminiscent of the 19th century but equipped with anti-gravity devices, Last Exile is a sweeping tale of adventure and drama. The story follows Claus and Lavie, a pilot and co-pilot duo who operate a Vanship as couriers. Their lives take a dramatic turn when they rescue a young girl from a mysterious, star-shaped killing machine. This act leads them to a high-stakes mission and eventually earns them a place as fighter pilots aboard the legendary mercenary ship, the Sylvana.

If you are a fan of detailed world-building and unique aesthetics, you can buy Last Exile merchandise to bring a piece of this steampunk world into your home.
