Author's Note

Equestrian space suits are just human astronaut suits but more advanced, and their ammunition is...it can just be like a gauss rifle, cause physics don't apply here.

Man I rushed this, but I haven't written anything recently and I felt like I had an obligation to do so.

Also for all the people who disliked this story, it is completely understandable, I mean, why would you even read this?

For The Republic

Eradicator: Galactic Republic

Equestrian Tech: Space Age

Anthro: Yes

Captain Twilight Sparkle of the HMS Glory sat on her pilot seat, the hourly cup of coffee in her hand. It was very tiring work being a ship captain, you have to feed or crew, train your crew, make sure you don't get betrayed by your crew, which ended up leading to hourly cups of coffee being made. The HMS Glory was smaller than the usual frigate, but larger than a fighter, making it excellent at surgical strikes. Aboard the ship was 5 five other ponies consisting of, Pinkamena Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy, each with their own job to maintain the ship. Everythign was goin perfectly fine, until a beeping came from her tablet, a red question mark signifying an emergency signal. Placing her coffee into the small holder made for it, she reached over to grab the tablet, opening it to discover the source of the signal. A distress signal opened, waiting to be played. Tapping it, Twilight listened to the signal.

Her ears were immediately bombarded with the sound of explosions and screams, both being very crackly in the background of the recording. "This is the Orbital Defence Station Sagitarius requesting immediate support. We have been engaged by unknown ships above Meinhoof. We have been unable to halt them and they are landing on the planet. any ships out there we need immedia-" The recording was suddenly cut off after one final explosion, ending it. Jumping up, Twilight immediately headed to the bunks, shouting to rouse the sleeping crew members and prepare them for a slipspace jump.

After a quick, argument about being able to sleep, they all managed to get up and head to their stations after realizing the gravity of the situation. Reaching for the slipspace button, she hesitated for only a moment before pressing it down, cuasing the ship to lurch forward at incredible speeds to their destination. The ship rocked as it slowly came out of slipspace, not alerting any of the crew as this was normal for such a small ship. Their calmness disappeared quickly however as they came out of slipspace into a graveyard.

Thousands of pieces of debris surrounded the Defence Platform, or what was left of it, most likely from the what seemed like hundreds of destroyed ships. Snapping out of her shock she swerved out of the way of a large chunk of ship, skillfully dogding many other offending chunks, before stopping in a small clearing to assess what they were seeing.

"It's gone." Twilight said, dumbfounded.

Her shock was not alone though, as the rest of the crew sat in their designated seats staring with jaws agape. If she remembered correctly the 7th Fleet had been stationed at Meinhoof for some time, explaining the utter death surrounding them. The 7th Fleet had consisted of about 50 ships, 3 being capital ships. And they had been wiped out, the bodies of the ponies aboard their crews now floating aimlessly in space. In fact, the only thing that seemed somewhat intact was the Defence Platform, despite it having lost a majority of it's mass.

They had to board it.

"You know the plan, we board it, reach the bridge and extract the records to find out what the tartarus took our ships out." Twilight said looking at the crew assembled before her, consisting of everyone except for Fluttershy, who would stay behind in the ship and try to contact the homeworld. Holstering her blaster, she signaled fluttershy to prepare the airlock as they approached it.

Equipment:

Twilight: Grav Boots, R-14 Pistol

Rainbow: P-45 Rocket Launcher, Grav Boots, D-12 Rifle

Rarity: Grav Boots, R-14 Pistol, First-Aid Kit

Applejack: Enhanced Suit that is stronger but slower than the usual suit, Grav Boots, EHMG(Equestrian Heavy Machine Gun), Engineer Kit(Includes small generator)

Pinkie Pie: Grav Boots, Jet Pack, SP-58 Shotgun.

After a quick depressurization, the party found themselves entering the destroyed hangar, devoid of fighters. Must have mobilized everything. Twilight thought, her worry growing by the minute at the foes they may face. They managed to cross the hangar with relative ease thanks to their grav boots, reaching the door leading out. As everyone was going through, Rainbow stopped for a minute, lowering herself down to the hinges.

"Captain, these hinges were blown off." She said, rubbing a protected hand against the ruined metal.

Rarity rolled her eyes at this, "Honestly darling, do you have to state the obvious all the time."

Rainbow scowled at her in response, before turning back to the hinges. "No, I mean they were targeted. Look at these scorch marks, they're too precise to be stray weapon fire."

Lowering herself down to Rainbow's level, Twilight saw that she was indeed right. Her sensors started rapidly beeping, signalling a hostile nearby, springing up she unholstered her blaster, pointing it at the entrance to the hangar. Glancing at her passive scanner, it was moving right for them. The others had clearly noticed this as well, as they were also readying their weapons and aiming them at the door. However as it neared their position it simply went overhead, causing them to aim up, only for them to find a barren roof.

Lowering their guns but not holstering them, they slowly continued on through the station, through the door, not saying anything for fear of being heard by the intruders above. As they walked through the hallways they found similar blast marks on all the doors, floating bodies with blast marks now occupying them. Regardless of the deaths of their fellow Equestrians they pressed forward, never once lowering their guard. After a couple of minutes they made it to an open elevator shaft. Of course the power was not on so the elevator was not on their level, leading to them deactivating their grav boots and floating upwards to the bridge, this being made easy with the zero gravity.

They soon made it to said bridge, to find a string of bodies floating, the lack of lights not coming from their helmets also adding to the horrific scene. After a short moment they reactivated their grav boots and walked through the bridge, everyone trying to ignore the carnage.

"Alright Applejack, get that generator set up and power up the console, we need to find out what the hell took them out. Rainbow and Pinkie Pie set up a perimeter, and Rarity assess the cause of death for the crew." Twilight said, pointing to each individual. Hopefully whatever killed them was long gone.

"Come again Glory, did you say wiped out?" A skeptical voice sounded from the other side of the comms said, causing Fluttershy to sigh in frustration.

"Yes they have been wiped out, and the Station has been mostly destroyed. The captain has taken a boarding party aboard what is left of the station to find out what happened. What Celestia damned, we need assistance incase whatever took them out comes back."

For a while there was only the silent crackling of the commlink, making Fluttershy frown. She opened her mouth to speak when something caught her eye. It was a large piece of metal except more brighter than the usual dull grey the Equestrians used. It also had a large strip of red going down the middle, while being in the shape of a strange triangle. And it was moving towards her. Not like it was floating, as in it was moving directly towards the ship.

She realized it too late, as a large blue laser shot from it's front, annihilating the small ship, taking Fluttershy with it...

"Cause of death seems to be from lack of oxygen, understandable really considering we are in space." Rarity said after inspecting the last of the dead bodies.

Twilight didn't get a chance to respond as a gleaming light suddenly came from the console, drawing her there to find a triumphant Applejack. "All set up and good to go captain." She said in pride.

Nodding her thanks, Twilight headed to the Console, moving to open the records. Her hand froze however as a small red blip had appeared on the planetary map, and began blinking rapidly as it started moving.

Right towards the Glory.

Reacting quickly, she immediately attempted to radio Fluttershy before a blue laser shot past her head, causing her to spin around while crouching while aiming her pistol at the offender. Nothing. Looking around the room, she saw everyone else aiming at the door leading to the bridge as well, each with their weapons drawn. Gulping she signalled for them to move toward the door...

"Have you traced the signal yet?"

"Yes commander."

"And what of the ponies on the station?"

"We have sent a squad to engage them commander."

"Good. Plot a course for Equis. Time to finish what we came here for..."

Twilight slowly moved toward the doorway, pistol drawn and at the ready, the members of her crew ready to fire on anything that came through. An orb was suddenly thrown through the door way, a red light beeping on it. Eyes widening, she moved to dive out of the way when a massive shock wave sent her flying, ripping her grav boots away from the ground and into a ruined wall, losing her grip on her gun. Eyes blurry from the shock, she looked toward the door while attempting to find her vision again.

White figures appeared from the doorway, shooting blue lasers from what appeared to be rifles. Planting her feet on the ground she reactivated her grav boots, diving behind the holo table. Looking to her right she spotted Rarity beside her, pistol in hand, firing at the attackers. Her heart stopped when a blue laser hit clean through Rarity's head, causing blood to coat the inside of the visor. The shocked didn't last long as she saw another white figure round the table, it's head turning towards her while raising it's weapon...

Admiral Armor sighed in boredom. Ever since the defeat of the Changeling Dominion the large fleet that Equestria owned was largely ceremonial, and with it, him. The only real interesting thing that happened was the recent distress call that had come in, although he suspected it was fake. Honestly, an entire fleet wiped out? He would have heard of it if such a thing happened. Completely, and utterly bizzar-

A large ship suddenly appeared in front of him, right in the middle of the fleet. Any comprehensible thoughts were gone, as large blue lasers shot out from it heading for the surrounding ships. Opening his mouth to issue orders, he was cut short as the ship shook from one of the blue lasers, causing a visible explosion at the front of his ship. Steadying himself he barked orders to return fire, and alert the rest of the fleet. Turning back to the glass shield that gave him view of what was happening, his eyes widened in horror, as the second largest ship in the fleet's thrusters powered down, and with it all the lights and weapons on it as a large laser hit the centre, eliciting a large explosion.

Thankfully though the ships soon opened fire, orange blasts coming from their weapons. Only to bounce off a materializing blue aura around the enemy ship. Knowing when he was beaten, he opened his mouth to give the order to retreat when a blast hit the bridge, silencing him forever...

"Half the ships have been destroyed commander."

"Good. Prepare the bombardment of the planet."

"As you wish commander."

There was no mercy.

The ship dubbed as the 'Destroyer' by the ponies hunted down and destroyed every Equestrian ship and planet, even eviscerating the homeworld. The homeworld fleet and armed forces fought fiercely, especially the royal sisters, yet they couldn't stand against the terrifying warrior that came down personally to dispatch them.

Of course, the name 'Destroyer' was not in use for long as it eventually lived up to it's name by wiping out the last remnants of ponykind on the planet Tarsonis.

And with that, they fell...
