The **Astral Express crew**, also known as the **Trailblazers**, is a group in *Honkai: Star Rail* which operates from the Astral Express. They follow the Path of The Trailblaze and are considered a subgroup of The Nameless.

## Overview

Long after The Nameless abandoned the Astral Express due to the star rail's deterioration at the hands of Stellarons, a young Himeko came across the train. After several years, she managed to repair it and began her journey across the universe. Along the way, she encountered and rescued Welt and his unnamed blonde companion, although the blonde man eventually left. Pom-Pom also appeared on the Astral Express at some point, although none of them know when that was — not even whether it appeared before or after Welt joined.

After Dan Heng was exiled from the Xianzhou Luofu, he attempted to escape from Blade by constantly traveling between different ships, although Blade constantly caught up and destroyed the vessels he was on. One day, after Dan Heng coincidentally saved a ship which the Astral Express was traveling alongside, Himeko went to thank him and invited him aboard the Express. Since then, he has been traveling with them as a guard and an archivist.

One day, while traveling across the galaxy, the Astral Express crew encountered a large chunk of six-phase ice containing a girl. After reeling in and thawing the ice, they found that the girl had complete amnesia. She took on the name March 7th, after the day she was discovered.

At the start of the *Honkai: Star Rail* story, Kafka leaves the Trailblazer to be discovered by the Astral Express crew. After fighting alongside March, Dan Heng, and Himeko, they eventually are left with no choice but to join the crew.

This is good news for the Alliance... but now that the Star Rail is clear, what action will be taken by the fiends and demons once stranded in that remote corner? ...Alas, another problem for another day.

## Trivia

* According to Himeko, the Express spends seven standard days at each stop and its passengers are allowed to do as they deem fit during that time.
