I call it the DRAGONBALL FACTOR

Lightning Dawn: "We are a race of humanoid ponies known as The Space Alicorns

Equestrian: "Space Alicorns?"

Starla Shine: "Yes. If you wish to know more, please hear me out. First off: Our powers and abilities are much stronger than that of the Equestrians. In fact: Even just one of our weakest warriors would easily be able to topple the entire Equestrian Empire without much effort."

--A non-canon version of how the Space Ponies are superior to the Equestrians.

Making this blog for a quick explanation to avoid typing it so much.

My Space Ponies are equipped with, what I call, "The Dragonball Factor" meaning: their powers and abilities are similar to those from the DRAGONBALL franchise.

Even the strongest Equestria trying to attack Lightning or the enemies is like Hercule VS Cell.

Equestrians and other creatures NOT equipped with the Dragonball Factor don't have a chance, to have a chance, to even GET a chance against these guys.

Twilight's magic is ineffective against Lightning (Even without his armor) because Lightning's body is so tough and solid, the magic can't get in (Much like how germs can't go through your skin without an open wound) She cannot levitate him, teleport him, transform him, paralyze him... or anything. She isn't strong enough.

Applejack's most powerful Buck-kick to his stomach... it's like punching a steel wall-- Applejack will only hurt herself, and Lightning won't even flicker.

Rainbow Dash dive bombs at Lightning like when she destroyed Applejack's old barn (LESSON ZERO)

1: Lightning will just stick out his arms, pushing against Rainbow's head, stopping her dead in midair, preventing her from finishing the attack.

2: He'll just stand there, get caught in the explosion... he may end up and little dusty, but there won't even be a scratch on him.

Lightning could circumnavigate the entire planet 100 times before Rainbow finishes ONE LAP (That's just a fraction of how fast the space ponies are with the DBF)

Holding back their physical strengths is essential, because just even simple taps (Like in the vid) can do a lot of damage)

(Non-Canon Starla to Applejack) "I couldn't hit as weak as you if I tried."

And yes... this also grants them the power to lift heavy loads, far easier than when Big Mac pulled that house along (HEARTS AND HOOVES)

Why just look at little Krysta,

She's only 5 inches tall or so, and even though she IS equipped with the DBF, even without it, she was already strong enough to lift over 750 pounds (Warping Fairies are able to lift 3000 times their own weight)

This DBF also applies to the enemies that Starfleet faces (Or when I revive an Equestrian enemy, they too are equipped with it) making them much stronger and far too dangerous for The Equestrians to handle.

Without Starfleet training (Without the Dragonball Factor) they don't have a chance, like how Hercule never had a chance against Cell.

That's pretty much just the basics of it.
