Clashing Stars, the slaver who's mother was a Starkatteri zebra, seeks one thing in life in the Equestrian Wasteland. Caps. Slaves equal caps, returned slaves for resale make even more caps. But when she finds two others after losing five of her friends to a skirmish outside of Los Pegasus, she must do the unthinkable and rely on the ones she has enslaved for help, both for her sake and theirs, and possibly the entire eastern region of the Equestrian Wasteland from Vanhoover to Los Pegasus and possibly further north.
