Wing Commander & Pony's

I've always loved old Video Games. I just started replaying Wing Commander III (I've played them all. Its an old favorite series) and then it hit me. What if the Kilrathi found the Pony's? Would these giant 8-foot tall Cats huinted Pony's for Sport? Lunch? Would the Terran Confederation have aided talking quadropeds? And after would the Pony's have joined the Terran Confederation and flown Hellcats and Thunderbolts and Excalibur's vs Dralthis and Strakhas?

Real fun is I just learned Star Citizen will have a Bengal Carrier. Nice little shout out that.
