War has divided Equestria into two factions fighting for total control. The established Solar Empire with the full force of the Solar Armed Forces commanded by Princess Celestia herself, aiming to regain stability and lead Equestria into it's next great leap forward. The newly founded New Lunar Republic fighting for total freedom from their perceived oppression, led by the night princess. In the middle of this conflict, one stallion fulfills his goal of joining the Solar Army Air Corps to live a life of fame and glory as an aviator. At least, that is what Bright Eyes believes. However, warfare is much more chaotic and morally ambiguous than he had ever realized. Will Bright Eyes be able to withstand the impact of his choices? That remains to be seen, for the war ain't no place, for no hero.
