Equestria is a nation seemingly untouched by war, but not all wars consist of traditional armies and sieges.   An attempt on Princess Luna's life was the opening salvo of a new covert conflict that threatens to shatter that peace that ponykind has enjoyed for 1000 years.  When two aliens are inadvertently brought to Equestria, they find themselves thrown into a conflict that all the players see them as crucial to either Equestria's salvation, or its destruction.

Note:  This is a complete rewrite from the previous incarnation.
