War of the Assembly

   Assembly all started many years ago by an Earth pony with a brilliant Idea. That idea was to unite all Changelings, Crytal, Griffions, Pegasi, Unicorns, Zebras, and Earth under one symbol. It actually took some time to convince Chrysalis to join the original Assembly Program, but her and rest of the changlings steadily got behind the idea of Assembly and eventually joined in on the project. The years that followed the newly formed Assembly produced prosperity, development, and what seemed like an everlasting peace for everypony. OR, atleast, that's what it seemed for a long time. Chrysalis had tried to get any information as she could on the Assembly Program, only with what little resources the program had the time. She had failed ultimately and gave up, accepting that Assembly would be best for her Changelings.

   Several big corporations rose under the growing Assembly Program. Corporations like: Equiero Aeromatics; a Griffion aircraft manufacturer, PlasLite; a Unicorn run research group, Titanite; an armor press group that made new royal gaurd armor, and lastly Uroara Shielding; A mixed group of smarts that developed shields for Assembly to test and use. Yet, all were proudly sponsored by Assembly. Under the guidence of that Earth pony led to the world's beginning of it's space age. Assembly started building Star Soarers, their apptly named spacecraft, after the passing of their founder. Titanite supplied the ships' plating. Equiero supplied the plans to build the ships. Assembly supplied their own thrusters for their ships. After all the hard work of their engineers, the first space faring vessel was born, named the 'Legacy,' in honor of the founder and set off with it's first space faring speices group. But then, something happened, Legacy was not only the first craft buildt by ponies, it was the first to make alien contact.

   They had the unfortunate end of meeting the Hawkers, and nasty race of infectious creatures with unknown origin or reason. They were bloodthirsty monsters that either killed or infected their victims. They would even infect machinery somehow, but only for a limited amount of time before it fell apart completely. After that, this encounter became know as the 'Legacy Incident' and rallied many to call out for their leaders to take action against their new threat. Assembly had to get involved in the conflict at hand, it was their ship that made the alien contact.

   Assembly called a summit with Celestia, Luna, an advisor from the Griffions, Chysalis, and a Zebra spokesman. During the summit, there were arguments of whether or not war should be declared. If it were to be decalred, who would fight it. The current Assembly CEO stayed nuetral, until he hatched a plan. He called proposition 'Orange Winter' for many reasons. The plan would allow Assembly to go from a program to a trained militia to fight for their homeworld, not one pony kind would be fighting one-on-one, but all would stand together, fight together, and if neccessary, fall together. This appealed to their leaders seein as it had no flaw.

   All resources were being pooled in Assembly, PlasLite started to produce weapons for Assembly usage. Equiero started building fighters. Titanite decided that they would train soldiers of all types. Assembly stepped into the stage of war, preparing themselves for the worst. They built many classes of star soarers anf launched them to colonize other planets and combat the Hawker menace. The years that followed this war seemed long, but Assembly was determined to win, no matter the impossibility of their foes. The Unicorns were always researching and eventually made a suit that could harness the elements around the user, a rifle that unicorns could use to make their magic more lethal against Hawkers, and a special defence for colonies.

   Now, the current status of the war seemed to be at an inevitable win for the Assembly. They built a facility that could be activated by a key, nopony knew what that key was. Two new Star Soarers arose as recent projects, a sister and brother. Theirs names were Tempest, the big sister, and Ark, the brother. Those who worked on either never saw the other leave for any reason, Tempest and Ark were always side-by-side for protection. But little do they know that the line of seccession for either of the ships run deep, each with their own plan.

  Now, on Tempest, there is a specialist group of three, one Changeling, one Griffion, and one Pegsus. Together, they were the best of friends, watching the other's back to the best of their ability, and doing a damn good job of it. Tempest and Ark were well on their way to a checkpoint colony for supplies, both ship ran off solar rays but needed to resupply after several months or more. The first Heavy Freighter Star Soarer along with the first Light Bombardment Star Soarer. Their story begins here, where the journey really starts.
