Co-authored with Gideon020 Big thanks for his help with this story!

Buried in the stone beneath Canterlot, an ancient secret is about to be uncovered. One that will forever change Equestrias view on the places beyond the stars

Going far from the Galaxy we call home.
A faint gleam of hope and a promise of knowledge.
Farewell, Equestria, farewell, beloved ones
Bearing the fate of the Elements.
These ponies fight and the romance burns high
Somepony has got to do this
If we are the ponies they count on...
Going far from the Galaxy to space unknown.
A faint gleam of hope
The Space Battleship Yamato

Now completed! (Comments may contain unmarked spoilers.)

A decade after Princess Celestia dies and names Twilight Sparkle her successor, Equestria splits along racial and partisan lines. Equestria's cities have declared independence and are at war.

The conflict engulfs Ponyville. Teenage Pound and Pumpkin Cake team up, using their talents of flight and magic to protect their loved ones. But the twins later join polar opposite factions of the war, and now their rivalry risks plunging all of Equestria into ruin...

The story complies with season 1-3 canon, but differs from the comics and season 4 onward.

Every year in the Nevada desert, an exerciese called Red Flag is held for the best fighter pilots in the world. Rainbow Dash and her F/A-18C squadron are participating this year, and they have one goal - to be the best!

Another tale from the Battleships Universe

Rainbow has worked hard to become an astronaut, and is shocked to learn that her friends have turned her first trip to space into a mere publicity stunt. When things go wrong, she must put her objections aside if any of them hope to make it home alive.

Rainbow is depressed after she is unable to join the Wonderbolts. Her friends get her a ticket to an air show on Earth to cheer her up. She unexpectedly falls in love with jets, and decides that she wants to be a pilot no matter what it takes. She'll need education, training, and more than a little luck.

It has been ten years since Luna was reformed, Equestria has since grown to be a thriving nation filled with artistic wonders. Yet, Luna’s age and experiences make it difficult to take intrest in such repetitive overdone activities. She has seen the latest in Modern Art, watched hundreds of movies and plays, and listened to enough mainstream music to drive one insane. She seeks some activity or hobby which would capture her passion, something new, something exciting, something powerful!

After searching, deep within herself and amongst Equestria, her choice was clear; metal.

So Luna dons her custom Ibanez electric guitar and embarks on an epic quest to be the greatest (and possibly only) metal musician in all of Equestria! With the help of four others, she will conquer the music scene through melodies never heard before, riffs that were never even thought of, and lyrics that would make Discord's eyes bug out!

This is a fun story I have been meaning to try, on the side. It will contain linked youtube videos for the music since lyrics are obviously restricted. You can find all the music here at my youtube channel. The videos will be added as Luna and her band plays them.

The idea for this is credited to Eagle (aka Callsign Eagle) and so is the pre-reading of this fic.

Editing is done by who is now being dubbed my lifetime editor, AuthorGenesis to which I am more than very thankful.

It is a dark time for Equestria. Evil in the form of the Changeling Empire has swept over the North Pole, capturing Santa Claus and all of his elven workers. To counter this evil, the Mane Six, led by the heroic Twilight Sparkle, are called upon by the wise and just Princess Celestia to infiltrate the changeling controlled North Pole to rescue Santa Claus and save Christmas once and for all.

Through vastly superior firepower.

A commission that is long overdue. I think you can guess just about how long.

Applejack had always dreamed of serving the Princesses and earning her citizenship- even if that desire required her enlistment in the Equestrian Military. When her friends put pen to paper on their own enlistment orders, her future was made even more clear.
Unfortunately for Applejack, nothing is as simple as it seems, and as Equestria is plunged into an interstellar war against a merciless foe, she will see just how far one needs to be willing to go in order to save everything they know and love.

In the aftermath of the Changeling incursion of Canterlot during the marriage of Shining Armour and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Equestria gears itself for war against the Changeling menace. Against a foe that can take the shape of anypony, assume their life, and undermine Equestria from within, the Royal Pony Sisters create a new institution to monitor their Royal Guard for any Changeling corruption, cowardice, and incompetence: the Commissariat. As total war rages across the land one hero stands out above the rest; Commissar Blueblood, Hero of Equestria. Or at least that's what the propaganda says. The truth, as ever, is far more complex, as the esteemed Blueblood is merely looking for an easy and sedate life. Unfortunately, fate has a habit of throwing him into increasingly dangerous and suicidal missions, which he must survive with a combination of self-preservation, lying, and sheer blind luck, even if doing so only fuels his soaring reputation!

Equine military fiction in the style of Ciaphas Cain and Flashman.

The protector, otherwise known as the Big Daddy, is often regarded as the ultimate killing machine of the underwater utopia known as Rapture. They are nearly indestructible, can endure the crushing pressures of the bottom of the ocean, and possess a variety of killing tools.

Through a completely unexpected sequence of events, a Big Daddy is sent to Equestria through a tear. Knowing the kind of havoc a Big Daddy can cause, Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth pursue the behemoth to get it back.

But they're too late.

Takes place in the BioShock: Infinite- Burial at Sea universe, in an alternate timeline. The events of the DLC Burial at Sea: Episode 1 do not happen. Booker and Elizabeth are not trying to find Sally. NONE of your favorite ponies are getting killed, I promise.
