Testing?, I think it works, that's good, I need someone at least to know what the hell happened in this place away from the light of Celestia.

I am the head of security of the research center in the Selene system, on the planet St´a Brana, initially, the research body was made up of more than 5,000 brave citizens of the UEG, all from the central planets, almost one of all species, to be honest, it was an honor to have been part of this.

Even Princess Twilight herself told us about the mission in person

We were sent to this place with the mission of discovering the origin of strange signals that came from this sector, possibly an alien civilization.

Each of us was selected for our strong connection to harmony, in case we made contact, was to be with the best we had to offer, 5 colonial class ships, and 15 Shining class combat ships, in case of problems, but more for security by pirates.

We managed to get safely to the sector, at first it did not seem promising, 4 planets in orbit around an Equus-like sun, lifeless, desert.

The 4 planets are Aers, Marian, Core, and St´a Brana.

But the best was by far St'a Brana, named after the daughter of the commander-in-chief of the operation, quite awful if you ask me.

The planet always had two parts, one in an eternal day and the other part in an eternal night, a terrible place for life, that's why we left it at the end, and boy was it surprising.

There was a huge ship, parked in perfect sync over the planet's atmosphere, 200 kilometers long and 40 kilometers in diameter, it looked like a huge cone of ice cream in space.

As a precaution I ordered the fleet to remain on the dark side of the planet, something of that size was terrifying, and even more so if it was hostile, so I sent patrollers to explore the surroundings.

The reports detailed its structure, clearly alien, of a super-dense pure metal material, if we tried to scan with the equipment, the ship will attack with an electromagnetic pulse that can left the ship adrift, we almost lost one equip, but thanks to the others ships that were nearby were saved.

But while the crew was terrified, a unicorn had the idea to scan with a spell, which surprisingly worked.

The other raids started using the magic equipment.

It took several days, but at last, we had managed to find a place to enter, close to the half of the ship, I was the captain of the expedition, and what I saw still amazes me.

Using teleportation, we entered through what we thought was the hangar door, since a door the size of a 5km colonial ship left nothing more to the imagination, and we were not mistaken.

Ships similar in design to the huge titan, but in different shapes and sizes, everything was well lit and clean, frankly, we were expecting dark and dusty corridors.

The inactivity of the ship towards us in the previous days made us suspect that the ship was abandoned, but something kept it operational, we do not know how long this ship has been in this state, but at least 125 years, since it was the first time that the signal had been detected.

We managed to explore for a few hours, until we found what we identified as caretakers, at first we thought they were the crew, perhaps a robotic civilization, but they never paid attention to us, and always fulfilled a specific function, about all maintenance, also defense, that we discovered accidentally by a malfunction battery.

These caretakers have a certain intelligence, and if they can, they avoid any conflict, they do not attack if you do not attack, and they never do it with the intention of killing, only to stun or disable, or so we thought.

We managed to put a colonial research city in the dark part of the planet, while we found a way to study the ship, if we could unravel its secrets, we could do much for the life of everyone, even our scientists discovered that the ship was adapting to us. , creating our atmosphere to be able to breathe inside, since before it didn't even have it.

So 5 long years passed, we never managed to explore the entire ship, but we managed to get to the huge dome, and it was like coming home, it had trees similar to those of home, water, rivers, even lakes and waterfalls, a few mountains, it was like seeing a of a planet, even a day and night cycle.

But then we got the news of the colonial war, we don't know what happened, but what caused it.

Colonial systems were divided from the UEG, they wanted independence, all diplomatic channels failed when the ambassadors' ships were shot down, beheaded embassers, entire families of the nobility massacred in their homes.

Some planets could have more population of pegasus, unicorns or earth ponies, even other species.

I had never imagined that this could cause a separation.

With barbarism that had not been seen since unification, the UEG was fighting 4 new powers at once.

When the information came, no one could believe it, we thought we were safe, even the princess promised that she would erase the data about us, although the mission was classified, to which very few had information, they could still wish for the power of this huge ship for their purposes.

We thought that the horror would not reach us, the images we received of pegasi with wings cut on planets like Aegis, or decapitated earth ponies floating in the lakes of the planet Aquarius, even unicorns with their horns plucked and stabbed with them, it was just too much.

I prohibited the circulation of this information, but as it was always filtered, it started with bad faces, slight cases of insults, we did not last a month.

I swear by Luna that I tried, stop them, make them see that is useless.

Then a damn pegasus killed an earth pony by dropping it from the sky, just above the communal dome.

The madness started then, supposedly they were a couple, and the mare had tricked him, I never knew if it was true.

Everyone wanted to take control of the colony and the ship, we couldn't let that happen, I don't think that even the combined power of the princesses and the entire defense fleet could be enough to destroy the ship, we still don't know how to control the ship, but the little technology we managed to decipher was enough to make a difference.

I, along with 950 brave creatures who were still on the side of harmony can't let them share the position of the research center.

About two hours ago, they launched a large-scale assault to take control of the last colonial ship in orbit that had not been dismantled, in taking the communication towers.

My team managed to detonate the colonial ship before it could drop the hands of the new "Pegasus empire", but it would not be enough.

There are several rules in this place, that even at this moment nobody would dare to break, do not attack the ship.

That thing is harmless, but it defends itself with the same intensity with which you attack.

I sent a missile with a megaspell straight to it, undetectable to the ship, but it would cause response from some devastating.

That will gives me nightmares for the rest of my life, that warhead was given to us in case of a preemptive strike in case of the worst-case scenario, but even that thing wasn't enough to damage the ship, or at least I don't think so.

Blue light rain bombarded the facilities, I thank to the harmony that we did not have children or pregnants, the devastation that was immense, the bunkers were barely able to bear, all the colonial cities on the planet were destroyed, I barely managed to save a few entering in the bunker.

I managed just before the fire destroyed the station, just to send a small message to the UEG.

DO NOT COME FOR US

Along with some images of the situation and a slight panoramic photo of a satellite in orbit just before being destroyed by the spacecraft.

At least I hope this is enough.

I have to work, the metallic taste tells me that we have radiation leaks, without the communication antennas I do not know if this message is even being transmitted, but I hope you are not as stupid as we are, that it will serve as a lesson.

The ship seems to have entered combat mode, now it shoots at everything, so if you don't want to die, don't come to this place, you will only find death.

Good luck and goodbye.

and sorry princess.
