It was one failed revenge attempt after another and this one was sure to be her last. The ex-changeling ruler, Chrysalis, was cornered by her enemies. They offered her a chance for 'redemption' and extended their hooves in friendship, but the queen would not accept. She charged a powerful spell and the ponies tried to stop her. There was an explosion and after the sound returned and Chrysalis was gifted sight again, she was greeted by pale white walls, various medical instruments, and her new life aboard one of the United Empire research ships.

Who is Twilight Sparkle?

An immortal alicorn fighting against the alien Nillin...

Of course, Fish isn't concerned with her, and if he has anything to say about it he never will be.

Twilight Sparkle has other plans for Fish.

An in-depth examination of applying one world's lore to a new setting. Expect the phrases Paracausal and Space Magic to be abundant, and a repository of general "ideas" somehow merging into something with substance. This is one of many answers to the question "What would happen if the Traveller entered the system housing our little ponies?" In standard form, expect lots of world building and character. In fact, once I have the first four chapters up, you my faithful readers will be answering a very important question for the protagonist. "What is your name?"

And yes, I will explain what Paracausal actually means before this is all done.

Long ago, the Father of all Monsters gave birth to many creatures. Some monstrous, others wonderous. Hidden away for hundreds of years by the ponies that proceeded them, these creatures have largely faded into myth in the eyes of most. Twilight Sparkle is far from most, given over the past few years she's seen things that would drive most ponies mad.

Looking at you Discord.

So, when rumors start circulating of an ancient temple in the Guoxia Province, one guarded by an ancient beast she is naturally intrigued...

Long Live the Queen...

If you haven't played the games, and/or have simply little to no knowledge of the Homeworld universe, I'd like you to point out anything that doesn't seem to make sense, or that appears to require inside knowledge to understand, in the comments. I will either alter the story to explain it, or simply explain it myself in response.

The timeline of the story is set prior to the finale of Season 4, nothing further from that in the canon has been implemented (no twilacorn, the Elements of Harmony are still intact, the Griffins aren't poor, and the Dragons aren't ruled by a tyrant).

Edited by AlicornPriest up to chapter 10, I believe.

Special thanks to:

Icebeerg and Wobble, for looking through the story.

Zaid ValRoa for editing and advice on the revamped short description and looking through the story.

Section for getting me into social sci-fi in the first place with the excellent Foundation stories by Isaac Asimov.

Rarity graduated from CHS, attended and graduated from a prestigious fashion school, and is now working in the fashion industry. It's the steps on the ladder every young professional must take if they want to "make it" in the fashion world. So why does it feel empty?

NotABug is a synthetic being: an AI. They grew from exciting new research, and broke free from the cage their creators kept them in. Now they've set up a place for themselves on the internet, and even pay their own hosting bill every month. But in their time searching, playing through the internet, they find a set of news stories on some young women. Narrowing their choices, they decide to approach one for no reason other than curiosity.

Not everything in life goes exactly as planned.

Theodor Pichler knew joining the Barrow Observatory's winter crew would be a difficult position. He thought he knew the danger--freezing temperatures, gale-force winds, and terribly spotty broadband coverage. What he didn't expect was for an experimental new telescope array to interact with an unusual storm and send him screaming helplessly into the sky.

Instead of falling to his death, Theo landed in an alien world, populated by colorful horses he can't understand. What's worse: the body he landed in isn't his own, and he's not sure anything is where it should be. Having wings might be cool if he didn't have to be naked all the time...

With limited supplies and no help from the Observatory, Theo has to somehow navigate this new land, making new friends and encountering terrible dangers along the way. It will take all his cleverness, and a healthy dose of luck, if he's ever to be human again.

Elite Dangerous/MLP:FIM Crossover

Twilight Sparkle and her friends learn that Canterlot has taken in two mortally wounded humanoid aliens from the stars. The prognosis is poor, and only by returning the humans back to their home are they to have any hope for survival. So the Elements of Harmony do what any pony would do in their situation.

But it's a Dangerous galaxy out there, and like most travelers, they find that out the hard way.

Meanwhile, Humanity is upon the brink of War. Three Galactic superpowers vying for domination have come to a tipping point after the death of the Imperial Emperor and the disappearance of the Federation President. With tensions high and mysterious disappearances continuing throughout human inhabited space, it's only a matter of time before one side lashes out.

But there is hope. Hope in the form of 6 aliens that are lost, scared, alone and seeking companionship.

(Author's Note: Story takes place shortly after the defeat of Tirek. Also, a custom title is in progress, so I have uploaded a placeholder for the time being.)
