The Guild

The Guild are an organisation in Last Exile and Fam: The Silver Wing which once focused on building the Exile ships that allowed humanity to escape Earth, and on fixing Earth so that humanity could one day return. However, once they and their human passengers reached the planet Prestor, the Guild quickly lost their original purpose of serving humanity when they began manipulating supplies either side of the Grand Stream, forcing Anatoray and Prester to go to war.

Both sides, without realising that they were under Guild control, came to the Guild to seek help, and the Guild set up rules of engagement or "Chivalry", by which each side had to fight. The Guild had the ability to retract any ship's Clauia tanks (which they supplied to all ships on Prestor), causing the ships to crash at their will, thus giving the guil complete control over both sides.
