The Imperial Capital Burns
The Imperial Capital Burns is a prequel to the visual novel Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse, centering on Takamura Yui and her friends during their years as surface pilot cadets. Originally released as a bonus novel for fans who owned the Total Eclipse anime’s DVD/Blu-ray set, it was later adapted into a Steam game, inviting players to revisit the early days that forge the events of Total Eclipse.
Setting and cast: Kyoto, 1997. Yui enters Yamayuri Girls' Surface Pilot Academy as a new cadet, bearing the pride of a future pilot and training fiercely alongside her peers. One instructor-style rival stands out—Kazusa Yamashiro—whose talent and presence both inspires and unsettles Yui. The story follows their friendships, rivalries, and the personal growth that comes from dense training, harsh campaigns, and the weight of responsibility that comes with piloting cutting-edge machines.
The turning point: In 1998, the BETA—mysterious invaders of unknown origin—land on the Japanese mainland and push eastward toward Kyoto. The capital becomes a frontline, and the cadets are thrust from classroom drills into the realities of war. As Yui and her companions are drawn into combat, their choices test loyalty, courage, and the limits of what they’re willing to sacrifice for one another and for humanity’s survival.
World and context: The Muv-Luv universe centers on a decades-long struggle to stop the BETA from eradicating mankind. These extraterrestrial threats surge forward despite humanity’s attempts to hold them back. Humans respond with Tactical Surface Fighters (TSFs), humanoid weapons developed over decades to counter the invaders. By the era of Total Eclipse, 3rd-generation TSFs represent the pinnacle of technological advancement in the conflict.
What you get: The Imperial Capital Burns provides a focused, character-driven narrative that enriches the Total Eclipse storyline. It explores Yui’s backstory, the bonds formed in cadet life, and the events that shape her into the woman seen in the later chapters. The game combines coming‑of‑age drama with a world poised on the edge of perpetual warfare, delivered as a single‑player experience that invites players to experience the origins of a wider saga.
