Defiance

Welcome to Defiance. This pamphlet will inform you of the current state of affairs within our little town.

Currently, at the time of printing, the town of Defiance is currently the center of a massive (And dangerous) case of transdimentional decoherence. Or in layponies terms: This particular part of our world is unstable. Only the unicorns, with their abilities to manipulate the magical fields of our world, can keep the 'rifts' (As we've come to call them) at bay.

'Rifts', as we've come to call them, open randomly on the badlands and tend to spit out either junk or useful technical artifacts. Several ponies, along with the 'aligned or unaligned' races go after these 'riftfalls' for profit. Even though the badlands contain many alien creatures, the danger is considered worth the potential risk of death.

Most of the time, they tend to be useless pieces of metal or probes of unknown origins, but sometimes they deliver other creatures. It is not unheard of that ponies, who were previously slaves to some unknown faction, have appeared after a rift. If you are one of these slave-ponies, please feel free to find your nearest Habitat Unification Bureau officer for information on Steel Will's free program called: 'Slave-A-Away: Becoming a free pony!' which is sponsored by the 'Defiance Civic program for new arrivals'.

When you first arrive at our fair town, you may notice that there are many races here, but do not be alarmed or afraid. H.U.B. Officers regularly police local new species and the lawkeeper, one alien species known as a 'human' called Nolan North will ensure your safety and security.

While all the local townsfolk are friendly and will easily answer any questions regarding places to eat or get a nights rest. Be aware of 'Rifthunters' can potentially be a rather angry and rough sort of pony and may not be entirely trustworthy.

That said, we, the civic program for new arrivals welcomes you to our town.

Welcome to Defiance.
