Golden Oakes Library
Basement

Dan couldn't help but notice that Rals' footsteps didn't make much noise. Hardly any noise at all, really, as the two walked down the stairs to the basement. A bit hastily constructed out of necessity, the stairs to the basement of the library were made from leftover wood from the renovations, meaning they creaked a lot. Dan had built them himself, so they were sturdy, if a bit unrefined. They creaked with every step he took on them. Not when Rals did.

One key difference between the Federation and its evil, alternate dimension counterpart, the Terran Empire, has to do with the types of ships they field. Outwardly, the Federation and Terran Starfleets look very similar, aside from a few changes in paintjobs and maybe the color of phasers, but they possess many fundamental similarities. Their designs are practical, and despite different morals, values and core philosophies, their vessels seem to easily reflect what both sides want to exude:

Beyond heroes, myths and legends, there are the icons. Icons are those that stand out so much, their very names become synonymous with their deeds and the age they lived in. An icon transcends simple stories to tell between friends at a bar, or tales told of days gone past. Icons are symbolic, even celebrated depending on how they became iconic. To build a franchise properly, you need a hero or two to become an icon, to symbolize all you're wanting to tell. But to build a universe, you need a

It took a lot of persuading to finally convince Dan to allow human volunteers into the Sparkle Guard. A lot of persuading, bribery and finally, Chrys just shut him up for a couple of hours with the only way she knew how. And thus, the ranks of Twilight Sparkle's personal guard was expanded to include a few dozen carefully selected candidates from those remaining from previous incursions. Despite their random nature for being and even arriving in Equestria, Dan put them through a rigorous

I'm strongly considering skipping the next two episodes and going straight to episode 25. Episode 26 is the final episode of Season 1, but it's more of an epilogue than an episode. Still, it's going to be good if I do it right, and I hope you all do enjoy it.

Dan is disappointed that he isn't a playable character in Super Smash Bros. In any of the games. And yeah, it's a bit weird, considering Dan has never really owned any game consoles and really, he doesn't really play video games much at all. Mario Kart sure, but everybody's played that at parties or at a friend's house or somewhere else.

With the development and mass production of knockoff gunships, as well as the rise of new foes threatening Equestria, new tools are needed to defend our world. My personal craft's already powerful weapons must be further augmented if they are to assist Dan and friends combat the coming crisis. The invasion rapidly approaches, and every advantage is needed. Dan may not speak of it much, but he knows he needs all the friends he can get. The threats out there are numerous and powerful...

The resurrection of Equestria had many consequences. The first case, or at least an extremely rare case of a planet being completely destroyed and then reborn so rapidly drew the eyes of many. Some, like the Federation and Jedi, simply wish to learn. Others, like the Sith, seek to plunder. But it's not simply a duality; destruction takes on many forms. There are those that see Equestria's influence as a different opportunity, one not to cooperate with or control, but to corrupt.

It's unspoken, but a generally well-known fact that most of Equestria's neighbor nations, allies and rivals alike, harbor some degree of envy of the princesses' ability to control celestial bodies. In one way or another, most of the other kingdoms, countries and tribes are tied someway to the stars. With Celestia and Luna having claimed the closest stellar objects, most others stake out their own claims based on historical and cultural significance. From the donkeys to the zebras and even the
