Today isn't Saturday. Accidentally published the next chapter of Dan Vs. today. Sorry about that. Expect the next update tomorrow at the usual time. My mistake.
Not all of the groups vying for a slice of Equestria are interested in trying to study or plunder the world. Some folks are just visitors, refugees, entrepreneurs, smugglers, various others from all walks of life. Many are alone, or travel in small groups but a few have organized under larger banners. One of the largest ones is simply known as the Free Spacers Group.
Barro: So, for the folks at home, why don't you start with your name?
Kent: Kenentan Etikorem Krace. People usually just abbreviate it to "Kent."
Barro: Heh... you know, your initials spells out KEK, right?

A history of conquest, subjugation and murderous scheming has led them to refine their methods as well as their tools, making the Empire itself a very dangerous opponent for Dan and friends. With Equestria firmly in their sights, the First Expansionary Starfleet of the Terran Empire is dispatched, an armada of veteran ships
Revenge is an art, a science and a passion for Dan. He truly does enjoy and love getting even with those who cause him transgressions, so it's not surprising he keeps mementos of his various victories in vengeance.
