Prologue

     The year is 2553 P.C. (Pony Civilization) where pony kind advanced in the Technological Era.  In1916 P.C. the population of ponies in Equestria grew, so ponies spread across the world of Trinity.  In 1981 P.C. the races of Trinity declared war against each other causing a world war.  In 2039 P.C. the races went into peace talks ending the war but not before they used a lot of resources of Trinity.  In 2041 P.C. the top races of Trinity (Ponies, Griffins, Dragons, and Changelings) formed a united government of Trinity called "Trin Gov."  In 2056 P.C. ponies and the other races have over populated Trinity threatening the planet's resources.  In 2057 P.C. the races began to depate of how to handle this new threat.  In 2058 P.C. the races finally decided on one solution "We can't spread on Trinity anymore, but we can spread in space."  Luna quoted, thus the Space Era began.  Through 2060-2500 P.C. ponies and the other races have populated hundreds of colonies and new religion was form after discovering an alien artifact and called them so self's "The Church".  Since then ponies and the other races have been searching for any signs of alien life during their time in space.  They unfortunately they found their answer.

Chapter One: Just another patrol.

     Deep in space a lone patrol ship and its crew are in warp jump to a colony planet called "Hoofeast 7" after the colony and a planet crasher ship went of the radar.  Their orders are to investigate both the colony and the planet crasher ship.  But they wouldn't even imagine what they will find when they reached their destination.

"Hey Flash."  A voice called out while Flash Sentry, an engineer was sleeping on the bridge.  "Hey Flash!"  Flash finally woke up after being yelled at by corporal Octimus.

"Jeez finally I thought you would never wake up."  Octimus said.  "Come on we're almost there."

Flash put his helmet on and sat in his designated seat.  Then the captai of the ship came, she is a female Griffin named Gilda.

"Alright everyone we're here."  Gilda said when the ship exited warp jump to come to a dead planet with asteroid debris surrounding the planet.

"So that's Hoofeast 7, still don't know why prospectors colonize that Celestria for sake planet."  A blue mare with a white mane said while looking out of the bridge window.

"It's a gold mine for resources oh 'Great & Powerful Trixie."  Gilda said.

"Yeah, the captain is right it holds; Coalium, Stalium, and Hoofinite."  Corporal Sentinel said to the blue mare.

Then the crew saw the planet crasher ship that they were to investigate.

"Wow that's the U.T.S. Fillymora!"  Octimus shouted.  "The biggest planet crasher out there."

"Wait a minute isn't Flash's fillyfriend stationed on the Fillymora."  Sentinel said.  "What's her name, uuummm oh Sunset Shimmer right?"  Flash nodded.

"Guss you're going see her very soon."  Trixie said.  "Well unless something bad happened."

"Oh come on Trixie, this is just another patrol."  Octimus said.  "Its most likely a malfunctioning in their deep space communication system."

"Alright corporal, take us in."  Gilda said.

"Roger that captain."  Sentinel said.

Their ship maneuvered through the debris without getting hit.  The ship was now getting closer to the planet crasher but then suddenly the Fillymora's rocket defense turrents activated and began shooting at their ship taking a couple of hits.

"What the buck!"  Gilda yelled.

"Engaging maneuvers!"  Sentinel said while trying to fly the ship without being shot by the turrents and without hitting any asteroids.   "Activating dummie drones!"

The patrol ship launched dozens of small drones that drew some of the Fillymora's turrents to shoot them instead.  "That got to get a breather."  Octimus said.

"Don't speak so soon."  Trixie said seeing heat seeking missiles.

"Aww shit!"  Sentinel cursed.  "Activating flares!"

The Fillymora now firing HSMs at them, while the patrol ship is launching flares.

"Dam most of the dummies we launch are destroyed!"  Trixie said.

The turrents now targeted the patrol ship again.

"Launching more dummies!"  Sentinel said.

After about five minutes even with all of the patrol ship's defenses it still got hit by 7 rockets and 3 missiles.  The patrol ship was now low on the defenses.

"Son of a-!"  Sentinel said while flying like there was no tomorrow.

"Status report!"  Gilda screamed at Sentinel.

"Kinectic shields are at 23%, damages are 79%, and we're running out of defense sure."  Sentinel said.

"Shit!"  Gilda cursed.  Then she began to think and came to a conclusion.  "We need to dock to the Fillymora!"

Everyone looked at her with expressions saying 'WHAT!'

"Look I now it's a bad idea but we have no choice or we'll all be dead."  Gilda said.  "Corporal take us in and put up the blast shields on the bridge!"

Sentinel just nodded then turned the ship towards Fillymora's docking bay.

"On my say, activate all flares and launch all dummie drones and put up the kinectic shields at full power."  Gilda said.

The patrol ship was now heading towards the docking bay while the Fillymora's turrents are firing at them taking a few critical hits.  Then a crew member spoke from a com from the gravity systems.

"Captain!"  The crew member said.

"What is it!"  Gilda said.

"It's the gravity systems, there going to overahhhh-!"  He shouted before dying in a blast.

"Everyone buckle up into your seats!"  Gilda shouted while she, Trixie, Flash Sentry, Octimus, and Sentinel doing what she said.

Then the gravity system overloaded, and any crew members that weren't quick enough were now flying all over the bridge.  They were being hit to the ground, sealing, walls, and any objects that got in their way.  Some of the electricle wires popped out of the walls and flung around the bridge electricuting some of the crew.  Flash saw one of the crew member being shock to death with his eye's blown up in a second.

The ship was getting closer to the docking bay when Gilda yelled.  "KNOW!"

The ship launched all of it's dummie drones and it's flares whiling busting up the kinectic shields.  Then Gilda gave one last order.

"HOLD ON!"
