Quick Synopsis
On a desolate planet with scarce life, the main method of transporting vital supplies between isolated settlements is through large zeppelin-like airships. These airships, however, are vulnerable to attacks by sky pirates who hijack the cargo and kill the crews. To protect these flights, a group of skilled female pilots known as the Kotobuki Squadron—Kylie, Reona, Chika, Emma, Kate, and Zara—fly Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa fighters. In this dangerous environment where any mistake can be fatal, these pilots use their expertise to defend the airspace and ensure safe passage for the airships. This story, originally a TV series, is now adapted into a feature film that follows their high-stakes aerial battles.
