Many years we spent creating this ship, finally our sacrifice will be for something, we are bringing hope to the next generation of ponies by extending our empire to a new frontier. Now we will not be just spectators we are going to be the the protagonist of a new chapter of history books!
The words of Princess Twilight the same day were we finished our space program and expanded all ponykind to a better new frontier, sadly the Princess was killed the very same day by a terrorist.
