Fallout: Equestria- Secrets of the Divide

Once Upon a Time, in the Magical Land of Equestria…

War.

War never changes...

Or so they say.

As the fighting between ponies and zebras drew on, the need for more hooves on the front line became apparently clear as our armies were dwindled down to almost nothing. To remedy this solution, the Equestrian Army began to look into the scientific research of both the Ministry of Wartime Technology and the Ministry of Arcane Sciences. One of these investigations led to the usage of virtual reality pods built by the Ministry of Wartime Technology. These pods would train Army recruits in basic weapons usage while testing them on their combat prowess by using a virtual representation of a major victory from earlier in the war; Operation: Spearpoint. However, this new form of rapid training was short-lived, due to the scorching balefire that rained down upon the land on what was to become known as The Last Day.

On that day, when the balefire missiles struck, the power grid across Equestria was lost, due to the balefire that had washed across the land. Of the places that relied on the power grid the most was Fort Talon, the center for the Virtual Training Program, and home of the 81st Steel Rangers Battalion, just outside of Applewood. On that day, hundreds of Initiates undergoing their training were trapped within the pods, forced to live in the world of Operation: Spearpoint for years on end while life support talismans rigged to the pods kept them alive on the outside world.

That is until one day, one of the pods short circuited during the programming, releasing the soldier within from his false reality, birthing him into The Great Applewood Divide...
