Equestrian Space Force

Once the shuttle had docked on the space station, Thorax and Flurry Heart headed to a meeting room to begin designing the ships for the defense force.

"If we want to be able to neutralize any threats, then the weapons need to be powerful enough to destroy anything they hit.", said Thorax.

"I agree with you. The engines need to be powerful as well, in order for the ships to launch as fast as possible.", said Flurry.

After deciding that the ships would be boarded by having the pilots' seats lowered down and then pulled up once the pilot was seated, they began drawing up the designs for the wings and how the weapons would be stored. The wings would include panels that swiveled upward when in attack formation, and swivel back down when in general flight position. The weapons were designed to deploy from either inside the wings or from inside the ship's nose. Weapons ranged from various types of energy blasts to explosive shells that detonated on impact with their target.

"How will the ships be launched upon deployment from the space station?", asked Thorax.

"I have been thinking about that myself. I think if the hangar for the ships has rails on the floor and the ships are attached to the rails, they can zoom forward and out through the hatch into space.", said Flurry.

Thorax was wide-eyed. He knew how Flurry was creative enough to figure out how the airports functioned, but he had no clue in Equestria that she was creative enough to figure this out too. They contacted Twilight and told her the plans for building the ships and how they would launch. Twilight was pleased and told them to go forth.
