Since the war was now over, the soldiers had only one thing left to do: Retire. 

Four years later, they built honorary museums to showcase the soldiers, and all of their arsenal. The soldiers from Regula, had to get away because it was becoming unstable. They found places prepared for them on Earth, after they evacuated. Along with the crew of the Lemurian Star, they restored their lead ship, and remade their uniforms. Putting them on realistically painted wax figures, they sealed the uniforms in glass display cases. All of the lead ships were placed in the hangar, alongside the Lemurian Star, since they purposely built the hangar much larger than necessary. Brandon, Stephen, Terrance, who was Brandon's brother, and Stephen's 2 brothers were broken because the system where their personal fleets were based, had been detroyed by Brandonia's destruction. They remembered them forever, until they would die. Brandon, Colin, Stephen, and Link remained somewhat active with Equestria, going in to help whenever they were needed. They received a call at one point, saying that their presence was needed at Flurry Heart and Pound Cake's wedding. They excitedly agreed, and got ready to fly. Their personal ships were not placed in the hangar; they were remaining in use until they died. They arrived 4 weeks in advance, and began to get everything ready. This was going to be a royal wedding, similar to that of Cadence and Shining Armor. It would be held in Canterlot, and Link would be leading it. According to the plan, this wedding would be grand. Rarity helped design Flurry Heart's dress, and those for her bridesmaids. Brandon volunteered to be the ringbearer. He handcrafted them with skill, and great precision. They looked beautiful when he was finished. They geared up with everything they had, until the big day arrived. Flurry Heart was nervous, but she quickly got over it, knowing that she was not completely seperated from her parents.
