Equestria has long been a world of peace and harmony. The many races, though once at war, now are united in a magical industrial revolution, thanks to two discoveries: The magical leylines that form a grid around their world and supply them with a constant stream of magic, and a mystical metal called Arcanium, which is almost indestructible due to its magical nature. Thanks to these two discoveries, production of many new conveniences, like giant machines that harvest the magic energy from the leylines to use for other new inventions, is in full swing, and leylines and Arcanium deposits are dug up every day. However, one day, a simple mining operation leaves an entire city destroyed, laid to waste by an ancient race of hyper-adaptive, territorial, hive-born creatures called Slivers. With the new enemy emerged from it's ancient slumber, the world of Equestria must unite against this powerful, indestructible menace. Now, 5 years after that fateful event, Equestria is in turmoil, with only a handful of sanctuaries remaining for the collective races of Equestria, and resources are scarce, snatched away by the Slivers. Now, a handful of soldiers are on a mission from the Princesses themselves: Find the central hive, and destroy it. But when the enemy is using their own weapons against them, how much will they sacrifice for a mission that's doomed to fail?
