Celestia is dead, while there is no evidence to back up the theory. Though, there have been wild allegations of foul play.

The Lunar Movement, a faction headed by Princess Luna herself advocating for the now empty throne, is hammering at Equestria from all sides, openly protesting and calling for reform. The Rising Sun, a zealot group of Celestia worshippers have taken to the streets, openly rioting and confronting any LMrs (Lunar Movement) And the icing on the proverbial cake is a message found in the murdered Sun Monarch's room cryptically referring to something called 'the Dawn Protocol'.

It's a bloodbath. And Commander In Chief Twilight Sparkle is up the creak without a paddle. So it's time to reassemble a group of some of the finest mares and stallions the nation has ever had the honor of dishonorably discharging.
