“Are you sure about this honey?” Shining armor asked his wife.

Cadence nodded “I'm afraid it's the only way, you heard about what their doing to Equestria we can’t let that happen to the Crystal Empire.”

Shining Armor sighed, “I’ll let the troops know.”

Location: Everfree Imperial Base Conference Room

Time: 10:47AM

Admiral Cyrus walked into the Conference room of the Imperial base and pressed a few buttons on the holotable, multiple holograms of various high ranking Imperials, Darth Vader himself and the leader of the Empire, Emperor Palpatine.

“Admiral Cyrus reporting in.” Cyrus said to the other holograms.

“Director Krennic, reporting in.” Said a man with grayish hair.

“General Ziering, reporting in.” said an old man with white hair and a cybernetic left eye.

“Grand Admiral Thrawn, reporting in” said a male chiss.

“Good everyone is here, Admiral Cyrus what do you have to report?” Palpatine asked.

Cyrus cleared his throat and pulled up a hologram of the crystal Empire. “Our intel indicates that the nation known as the Crystal Empire is starting to rebel against the Empire, they are hoping that this is inspiring other nations including Equestria to fight back against the Empire, if they succeed all our hard work will be undone.”

The room was silent for a bit until Palpatine broke the silence “This Rebellion must be put down before it can begin and destroy all of our work, this planet is highly valuable to the Empire and I will not risk losing it”. Palpatine then turned to Darth Vader.

“Lord Vader, I have a mission for you.”

“What is thy bidding my master.” Vader responded.

“This Crystal Empire must be put down before it becomes a threat to our presence on that planet, Take a force of your best men and raze the Crystal Empire to the ground, show them the price of rebellion. Once the Crystal Empire has been decimated we can refocus our efforts on the Equestrians. The rest of you are to not interfere with Lord Vader's mission, this must be done by him personally”

“Understood, your majesty.”The other hologram leaders of the Empire said.

“I will leave at once my master.” Vader said as his hologram was cut.

“As for the rest of you, I trust that your plans are set and ready to commence once lord vader has dealt with the insurrection?” Palpatine asked.

“Yes your majesty, once Lord Vader defeats the Crystal Ponies, I will bring my fleet to reinforce our position for the planet. However I can only take half for now since the rest of my fleet is putting down a Rebellion on Mon Calamari, once the Rebellion there is put down I can bring in the full fleet” said Thrawn.

“My ground forces will wipe out any remnants of Rebellion and strengthen our grip on the planet and help secure our claims.” said Ziering.

“My assignments will begin once the necessary criteria is met.” said Krennic

Last but not least Cyrus said “And I am to Assist Grand Admiral Thrawn in whatever he needs. On another note your majesty, I believe I have some information that may interest you” said Cyrus.

“What is this information you have to tell me?” Palpatine asked.

“There is a group of ponies who are Equestria’s heroes, I believe that they will play a role in our presence here.” Cyrus said activating a hologram on the table of the Mane 6.

Palpatine was now interested in what Cyrus had to say,

“Go on Admiral.”

Location: Forward Imperial Outpost

CC-2489 ran behind a crate and fired his blaster at the charging Crystal Ponies. He watched as one of his fellow Stormtroopers had a diamond tipped spear thrown into his chest, killing the trooper. 2489 pulled out one of his  Thermal Detonators and threw it at a charging group of Crystal Ponies killing them.

“We need to get a distress signal sent to base!” An Imperial Officer yelled as he blasted another charging Crystal Pony with his pistol.

An Imperial Technician ran over to the Comn Station and started entering the distress message. “Agh! This is gonna take a few minutes to send, Keep those Ponies off me while I send the Message.”

“You heard him men, keep those Ponies away from him!” The officer yelled.

A Stormtrooper fired several blasts at a charging crystal pony killing it, however soon after, the said trooper’s head was cut clean off with a crystal battleaxe.

“What the kark?!” the officer yelled seeing the trooper get beheaded.

The source of the beheader revealed itself to be a brute of a Crystal Pony wearing heavy armor.

The Pony beheaded 3 more stormtroopers before it got a few several blaster bolts in the back scorching its armor and irritating the pony.

The brute turned around to face the source of the fire revealing a small squad of stormtroopers with the one in the front armed with a Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon. The Stormtrooper unleashed a wave of blaster fire into the Brute causing the armor to start wearing away from the intense firepower. Soon after a minute of constant fire, the armor broke and a hailfire of blaster went into the pony's body killing him.

The technician quickly finished his message and slammed his fist down on the transmit button. “There, the distress call has been sent!”

The Crystal Ponies attacking force sustained heavy losses and the Commander yelled for the Ponies to retreat back to the Crystal Empire.

The Stormtroopers raised their weapons in cheers as the ponies fled from the base. The Imperial officer wiped the sweat off his forehead, “That was a close one.”
