UED Flagship Aleksander, high orbit over
an unknown planet; above Appleloosa

"Adjutant online. Good morning, Captain. Our long voyage from Earth is over, and we are holding a stationary position near the borders of Dominion Space. I trust that the effects from your long cold sleep have worn off by now. If not, the Med Officer can provide you with additional CryoStim supplements. Admiral DuGalle have issued a proclamation to the entire fleet via transmat, i'll patch it through to you now." The UED Adjutant has told UED Captain Jonathan Bravo about the proclamation. But when Jonathan looked through the window, he saw that they are not in the Koprulu Sector, instead a mysterious unnamed planet.

UED Admiral Gerard DuGalle was seen, beginning his speech. "Attention! Defenders of the United Earth Directorate, this is Admiral DuGalle. You were all briefed before we left Earth, so you know that we have come here to conquer this Sector in the name of Humanity. Should any of you have second thoughts about performing your assigned duties, be reminded that if we fail in our mission here, not one of us will be going on. We stand or fall together in this forsaken wasteland.

Serve the Directorate. Serve Humanity. All other priorities are secondary to victory! DuGalle out."

The Adjutant then again said, "Transmat completed. Receiving incoming transmission." The transmission turns out to be Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov.

"Good morning, Captain. I am Vice Admiral Stukov, tactical advisor to Admiral DuGalle. I see you already reviewed his proclamation. I hope it doesn't cover anything you weren't familiar with. Once you get to know the Admiral, you will know that he is quite personable.

At any rates, Captain, i do have orders for you. As we are about to begin our invasion of the Dominion, we will need access codes to datanet and weapons diagnostics. To this end, you are to assault the outlying planet of Braxis and take control of its capital city of Boralis. The Admiral will expect perfect results. Stukov out." Stukov's transmission stopped.

Captain Jonathan Bravo, was just sitting down, not ordering his forces. The adjutant again said, "Captain, Stukov have given orders to you. Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov will be forced to have you resigned." The Captain was looking out the window, now confused.

"Captain, what the hell are you doing there? You can't stay here to look outside the window!" Vice Admiral Stukov said angrily. "You better take a look at this, Vice Admiral." was the only word Jonathan said.

"That's it Captain, i will be forcing you to resign!" Stukov said but Jonathan said, "I said look at this planet!" Stukov then looked at the window noticing it wasn't Braxis, but instead an unnamed mysterious planet. Stukov, apparently shocked, believes what Jonathan saw.

"Attention, this is Stukov. We got a problem here. Instead were at high orbit over Braxis, we're in high orbit over an unnamed planet!" Admiral DuGalle hears what Stukov said. When he went to the bridge, he saw an unnamed planet.

"Jonathan, i am sorry i didn't know you were telling me about this unnamed planet. Still, send your forces down there and be careful about Dominion, protoss, or zerg forces there." Alexei apologizes and tells him to send their forces down there, on Appleloosa.

Objectives:
1. Investigate the surrounding area

At the landing zone, the UED forces were shocked to see no gems and a geyser. The SCVs begins harvesting what they can find. Jonathan, along with his friend Jordan Paulson, a UED Rear Admiral, begins to send a thirty-man team. "Say, Jordan. Why did you send a thirty-man team?" Jordan replied, "I sent them in case you're gonna send your forces."

"Man, i cannot BELIEVE what Jordan Paulson sent all of us! Good thing we still have our C-141 AC Gauss Rifles and C-150 Ronin Pistols." One of the smiths said.

When the team went to find any threats, they only discover that it was just desert but noticed a town. The marines then investigated but they saw ponies. "Hey Johnny, are those horses?" Pavlov asked him, but the scene cuts to Johnny's face. A My Little Pony theme was heard inside Jordan's mind, in which he loves My Little Pony.

"Uh, those are ponies. We don't have much time to shoot them." Johnny said, with Pavlov replying, "Ponies? How did you know? Johnny said, "I know." Pavlov replied, "You're not serious, aren't you?" And finally, Johnny said, "I'm serious, and don't call me Sherley." Dmitri Pavlov doesn't understand what Dave Johnny said. Admiral Jordan and Captain Jonathan Bravo then head towards the team.

"Soldiers, what's the situation here?" Jonathan asked them and Pavlov said, "We saw some ponies as said by Johnny. We are thinking they are Hostiles, but its unknown."

A group of Arclite-class siege tanks came in and deployed in a siege mode. The only thing they saw was Admiral Jordan, who was walking towards Appleloosa.

"Ah, it's a monster!" One of the Appleloosans said and started panicking but Jordan said, "It's okay! I won't attack, okay?" Jordan then throws his gun down and shows his hands means he does not do harm. Admiral DuGalle and Alexei Stukov were shocked to see Jordan showing the Appleloosans no harm. However, a gunfire was heard. Admiral Jordan grabbed his C-150 Ronin Pistol and went to find the source of the gunfire. He noticed ten Terran pirates and begins to shoot them down. Jordan fired his pistol, and one by one, the pirates were dead. Jordan stands up but was pinned down by another Appleloosan.

"Okay, who are you? Why did you shoot those pirates?" An Appleloosan sheriff asked Jordan and he replied, "My name is Jordan Paulson, I'm an Admiral. I was a member of the United Earth Directorate and I came in peace." Jordan said and two of his fingers means he came in peace. All the Appleloosans were confused about the UED.

"United Earth Directo-what now?" An Appleloosan said with Jordan replying, "United Earth Directorate, but you can call it the Earth-borne Directorate, Earth Directorate, and also, UED." The Appleloosans asked him if he were a monster but he corrected he was a terran. Then they saw a UED Captain and said, "Jordan, are you alright?" The voice was Jonathan Bravo.

"Yeah, I'm still alright. I introduced these ponies and i told them i came in peace. However, i show no harm but i heard the gunfire. I take out my pistol and shot the ten pirates in the head." Jordan said, making Jonathan confused. "Hey, what is that guy?" Jordan said that he is Jonathan Bravo, in a marine armor.

"Uh, what is this UED Marine?" Another Appleloosan asked Jordan and said that they can call some UED Marines as smiths. "So, i am Jordan Paulson, nice to meet you ponies."

However, another Appleloosan said, "Well howdy, Jordan! I'm Braeburn! And Welcome to Applelooooosa! And who is this friend of yours?" Jordan introduced his friend Jonathan Bravo to them. Jonathan then radios the DSS Aleksander and said, "See?! I told you this is our bad luck! You accidentally led us all the way from the Koprulu Sector to here!" Admiral DuGalle replied, "Sorry, Captain. I didn't know. I got used to this, this cold sleep." Jonathan then face palmed. "DuGalle you son of a bitch, YOU MADE US CAME ALL THE WAY UP TO HERE!" Jonathan yelled at him through the radio and the absurdly rant from Jonathan begins.

"Captain, please be thankful for what we have come here." Jordan told him.

"Jordan, this is one of our absurd destination. We shouldn't came here in the damn first place! Then were are we going to know?!" But Braeburn replied, "You better go see Ponyville, that's where mah sister lives!" However, the arrival of the DSS Aleksander caused the Appleloosans to think it was a UED invasion. Admiral DuGalle and Vice Admiral Stukov came via dropship.

"We are planning for the invasion of the Dominion and the capture of the Overmind in order to maintain survival for all of Humanity. But we did not know about Appleloosa and Ponyville." Admiral DuGalle said but Braeburn replied, "Well you came to the riiiiiiiiiiiight place! We got a train over there because we Appleloosans did have some friends and we will transport you all to Ponyville." UED personnel were confused, but Jordan said, "This is the first time i haven't ride in a train. Stukov, DuGalle, introduce yourselves, to them." Admiral Gerard DuGalle introduced himself first.

"Attention! Citizens of Appleloosa, i am Gerard DuGalle, UED Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the United Earth Directorate Expeditionary Fleet. My objectives is: to capture all the rogue terran colonies and capture Arcturus Mengsk, Emperor of the Terran Dominion; capture the Overmind with psychic and powerful drugs; and using the Overmind to pacify all the protoss within the Koprulu Sector." Alexei then introduces himself.

"I am Alexei Stukov, tactical advisor, Vice Admiral, and executive officer to Admiral DuGalle. I see you already introduced him. I know it doesn't cover anything you were familiar with. Once you get to know the Admiral, you may know he is quite personable.

At any rate, Appleloosans, i heard that you got a train. We already send the message back to the UED Council that we didn't came to the Koprulu Sector, but instead this planet. Gerard, we could use a train for now. I'll have Malmsteen to pilot the Aleksander and i contacted the fleet to head towards this "Ponyville" in high orbit."

"A request, Alexei? I am inclined to agree." Gerard DuGalle said. The four then head towards the train with a group of UED soldiers.

However, a stampede of buffaloes came, making the UED Forces to stand their ground. "I am Chief Thunderhooves, leader of the Buffalo Tribe, and you are?" Thunderhooves asked them.

"I am Gerard DuGalle, Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the United Earth Directorate." Gerard said; "I am Alexei Stukov, tactical advisor to Admiral DuGalle." Alexei introduced himself, along with Jordan and the Captain.

After a lot of explanation, Braeburn said, "Hurry up, folks! The train will be leeeeaving now!" This caused them to go inside the train, and head towards Ponyville, while under the protection of the UED's unknown class battlecruisers.


Internal Force
Dominion Flagship Leviathan, high orbit over
an unknown planet; above Stableside

The Dominion Expeditionary Fleet have arrived with the Dominion flagship Leviathan. "Adjutant online. Good morning, Commander. Our long voyage from Korhal is over, and we are holding a stationary position in the borders of the Koprulu Sector. I trusted that the effects from your long cold sleep have worn off by now. General Edmund Duke has issued a proclamation to the entire Fleet via transmat. I'll patch it through to you now." The Dominion Adjutant have told Dominion Commander Morgan Liberty.

General Edmund Duke prepared his speech. "Attention! Forces of the Terran Dominion, this is General Duke. You were all briefed before we left Korhal, so you know that we have come here to conquer this sector in the name of Mankind. Should any of you have second thoughts about performing your assigned duties, be reminded that if we fail in our mission here, not one of us will be going home. We stand or fall together in this forsaken wasteland.

Serve the Dominion. Serve Mankind. All other priorities are secondary to victory! Duke out." The proclamation was finished and the Dominion Adjutant said, "Transmat completed. Receiving incoming transmision."

General Horace Warfield appeared on the screen. "Good morning, Morgan. I am Lieutenant General Warfield, tactical advisor to General Duke. I see you already reviewed his proclamation. I hope it doesn't cover anything you were familiar with. Once you get to know the General, you may know that he is quite personable.

At any rate, Morgan, i do have orders for you. As we are about to take control of this planet, we will need to land our forces there. To this end, you are to assault the protoss-occupied planet and take control of it. The General will expect perfect results. Warfield out."

Commander Morgan and his forces were sent and begins the assault. They saw a town nearby and a sign says 'Stableside', they really thought the protoss named that town in English. However, they were wrong, as they saw horses there.

"Morgan, we saw some horses there. Should we engage?" A Dominion marine asked Morgan but another marine said they were ponies, much to the annoyance of the Dominion marines and Commander Morgan. However, they were only met by the citizens of Stableside, much to the Dominion forces' annoyance.

"Hello, welcome to Stableside. Come with me." A Stableside citizen said, while General Duke has ordered the DEF forces to begin the occupation. However, the Stableside citizens were in a widespread panic, and General Duke tells the citizens to call this town Dukeville and the Flag of Equestria was replaced by the Dominion flag. However, before he could proceed the killing of the escaping ponies, he saw Commander Morgan.

Morgan, with his C-14 Rifle, injured Duke. "Commander Morgan! Why are you doing this?!" Duke asked him. "It's not nice to kill those ponies. And i want YOU to de-occupy Stableside now." Morgan said and turns to the Dominion flag, then he lowered the flag down and placed the Flag of Equestria once again. "Duke, i do not WANT any of them killed. Besides, they are already part of this mysterious land."

"Welcome to Equestria, aliens." A Stableside citizen said but Morgan said, "We are terrans, not aliens."

"I am Morgan, Commander of the Dominion Strike Team and Dominion Commando Force. This is General Edmund Duke, leader of the Terran Dominion Expeditionary Fleet. This is Lieutenant General Horace Warfield, strategic advisor to General Duke. We came here to dominate this world for the betterment of mankind. But are you the responsible for colonizing this planet?" He asked them. One of the citizens said, "The Griffin Kingdom was controlled by the griffins; the earth ponies, along with the others, found Gildedale; the communist ponies controlled the Hooviet Union and all have found their own countries."

"We need to know more about the history of Equestria." Duke said and after hours of the history of Equestria, the Dominion forces understand but were told by some ponies to go to a place known as Ponyville. However, gunfire were heard and when they are heading towards the location. The Kimeran Pirates were seen attacking the town and they were forced to kill the pirates. During a battle against the pirates, the Dominion and the Stableside forces gained the upper hand, with Duke, Warfield, and Morgan praised as the ones who killed the pirates.

"I got one question: Why do were have to learn about friendship?" Duke asked them, with the Stableside Mayor said, "We need you and your men to learn about friendship. And if you don't we'll take......

Wait, i got a message from Appleloosa. That place were met by the UED......." The Dominion, who doesn't know about the UED, wants to know. "The United Earth Directorate Expeditionary Fleet just met with the Appleloosans and Rear Admiral Jordan Paulson killed ten pirates with only his 'pistol'. Jordan himself tells Gerard DuGalle, the Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the UED Expeditionary Fleet and his longtime friend, Alexei Stukov, to introduce themselves." General Duke asked the Mayor of Stableside, "Are there any military force within Equestria, Mayor?"

"The Equestrian Military was still in war against the Griffin Kingdom military. And they still afford the defense of Cloudsdale, were the home of the Pegasi. The griffins still attacked Cloudsdale, that have begins the Griffin invasion of Equestria by their king, Darkfeather. We tried to---" Mayor Isabelle said but was cut off by General Duke who said, "Then take us to Ponyville, we'll met with the UED Expeditionary Fleet and the officers there. We'll send our Wraith-type starfighters to end the Griffin assault on Cloudsdale. If the griffins attacked Equestria then the UEDEF and we are the best to do this conflict."

Mayor Isabelle then said, "I agreed with you, General Duke. Yet another day, i haven't saw griffin forces until defeated by the Terran Dominion and the UED. Alright, I'll bring you all to Ponyville." The Dominion General ordered the Fleet and his forces to move out, leaving a garrison to protect Stableside.
