When all is about to fall, when darkness will descend and all will turn to dust, who then do you call in your final moments of peril? You call the ones who do not fear the grip of pain, the jaws of death, the command of the darkest forces ever assembled. When all other lines of defense fall, you call up your final defense. Your last line of defiance. And right now, Celestria has need of the rag-tag crew of seven that it calls The Lastliners. CELESTRIA PHASE: 2 Original art by Frederico Toscano, forever in humble admiration of his craft.

Rumors abound of experiments for creating the perfect soldiers, excavations for ancient relics, and the hoarding of fuel and supplies - deadly weapons included. Twenty strangers - the Elemorts to-be - from twenty different home planets visit Karomoz, each with their own reasons and motivations, and each armed with a unique elemental power.
