Space has been the final frontier for generations. Since the discovery of Elium, hidden beneath layers of Equestria, technology reached its complexity. This mineral formed the basis for Equestria’s economy until a sudden shortage crumbled it all. For years, The SS Pegasus has traveled, discovering and dismantling the precious minerals locked away in lifeless planets caked in rock; while Elium scarcely flowed. Most of Elium’s properties remained hidden under its crusty golden shine. Though, research began to delve further into this rock of gold, but research on this rock has been upheld, due to an explosion in the leading research ship: The Manehatten.
