Story Description:
Verdant Aurora, a pegasus scientist and inventor from Canterlot, is sent to the far south to investigate reports of strange atmospheric disturbances. Aboard his airship, the Australis, he fights his way through the nomadic pirates who call the skies of southern Equestria their home, only to end up picking up a passenger. Literally falling from the sky in the middle of a battle between Verdant and a small pirate vessel, the frisky and mildly bipolar mare finds herself far away from her home on the moon, and they both quickly find themselves involved in something much bigger than skypirates...
