It's been a long time since the nations around Equestria have signed a treaty, promising peace and open borders, resulting in the creation of the Commonwealth. That very peace is maintained, but not without consequences: organized crime runs rampant in the background, and the municipal police forces and even the Equestrian Royal Guard are helpless to stop it, resulting in the creation of the Bounty Hunters Collective to take down unsavory crime elements away from the gaze of the public eye.

But within the veteran ranks of the bounty hunters, there is a group... a secretive and selective task force, created under the order of Princess Luna: a group of agents, peacekeepers sworn to protect the innocent and serve the just, are the last line of defense against the Commonwealth's ever-increasing crime problem.

These select operatives, the Judicators, act as the final judge on behalf of the Princess of the Night, bringing the most dangerous criminals to justice, at any cost, dead or alive. Among them, a trio of Judicators working on a basic investigation on behalf of the Princess herself soon find themselves embroiled in a massive underground plan that threatens the stability of the Commonwealth itself.

At long last, the downtrodden will rise.

The battle begins.
