An Ark Mechanicus commanded by Arch Magos Cassius discover a world rich in resources and potential. The only issue is the inhabitants.
Cover art is from the game Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus.

EDIT: Inspiration
The original idea for this is actually from an unfinished comic on deviantart by someone called Telgin I found a few years ago. Basically I just kept thinking about what happened next and this is the result. If you read the comic then the first chapter you can probably see the similarities.
Also many characters have their parallels in the game Mechanicus as well.
i'm going to presume the "other" tag is because there's too many characters to list, and jump on in
Nice to see a story about cult of the machine. But few things are kinda off.
Mechanicus ships use plasma engines to maneuver thru space, not promethium.
Titans
That would actually bee princeps of the ruststalkers. As a rank. And yes i know it is a rank to high officers of titanicus but in the book "skitarius" Where Princeps Dekka commans his kill glaive of ruststalkers.
His rank would be Magos of Astrogation.
And ho is commanding skitarii forces? Ho is their alpha primus or Secutor?

Thank you. I actually didn’t notice those mistakes, or even know they were mistakes. I will try to avoid them going forward but I may slip up occasionally.
Ow nice a 40k cross this should be interesting
this unit found your story 96.12% logic tech priests can take command of skitarii units
9979311
I know that. What she’s mad about is that he took command of “her” Skitarii without asking.

aaaand of fuckin course a canon character dies
seems a wh40k crossover can't occur without murdering a canon character
oc only my ass
10041563
Not dead.
10041795
last point still stands
"oc only my ass" that was totally rainbow dash who got assaulted
the adeptus mechanicus dont kill they "acquire" specimens
10041903
Please direct me to the place I said “oc’s only” I plan for many other characters from the show appear in future chapters and would like to avoid confusion in the future.
10041937
Not all of them.
10041964
depand on the mechanicus sect if its a Xenarite they dont kill xenos. if its a Imperio-Cognisticians they kill xenos.
10041989
I know, that’s what I meant. For those curious most of the tech priests here lean closer to xenarite in one way or another but not all.
10042006
at list they are not dark mechanicus
10041960
story tags, dummy
10042175
Happy now? I’ll add more tags as the characters appear.
10042181
thank you for that

Your welcome.
The short description:
My responce.. "Oh.. this can either be good.. or very very bad, either way, lets see how many tech priests heads explode. Due to the ILLOGICAL_PINK_EQUINE!
Looking good already. I hope that we see whats happening on the pony end about all the disappearances.

i see you are an undead of Khemrin culture
10123568
You as well my good sir.
Ow shoot things are getting serious now

Just wait.
Hahaha ahh yes send radiation bleeding troopers to negotiate with you, what is little radiation poisoning if not a warmest of greetings. At least they cant blame them if they don't have knowledge of cancer or radiation sickness.
I mean they are vanguard after all, like codex says. "So much radiation bleeds out from a skitarii vanguard's wargear that foes in close proximity become weakened and fatigued; for non-skitarii to be stationed in the same barracks is a death sentence."
Sou using these in xenos negotiation is perfect choice, saves ammunition by the dozen.
Still not super thrilled RD got taken out immediately in a single chalter and is now being dismembered/dissected. Never been a fan of ponyhammer stories where one side always and absolutely dominates or incapacitates the other. Writing is decent so I’ll stick with it for bow but I just hope this doesn’t devolve into another ‘Warhammer wins all ponies die’ affair.

Unfortunately it IS going to be like that for a few chapters, but that is NOT how I currently plan on ending it.
10127835
I’ll stick with a little longer to see if this carries my interest further, shame cause I really liked how it was going until that point honestly and was excited for another.
10128234
Who knows, you might even like the ending I have planned after you get through the parts you don’t like.
welp... I feel sorry for the cog boys... pinky has them in her crosshairs and may have loaded dice
10128321
May have?

*srugs*
hmmm...both titles seem good...
So, it seems like the whole of this story is just the Mechanicus being grimdark dicks in Equestria. The writing is decent but I'm not sure I'm into these kind of stories.

They havent dissided yet.
They seem to balance between exterminatus and slave intergration.
Could go ehter way.

Did you expect social skills from machine cult members? This is a organisation that debated about a subject of how useful are such things like feelings.
10147125
Deus Ex Machanicus if I’m not mistaken.

Oy yes, got it from deluxe edition of mechanicus game.

“Access denied.” The thing spoke in a monotone voice.
“It’s my house!” Twilight demanded.
The thing looked annoyed, not that she could tell how they felt under those helmets of theirs. Did they have faces under? What did they look like?
“Access Denied.” It repeated in the same voice.

Once you reminded me of it in the last chapter. I knew I had to include it somewhere.
Kinda correct in a sense but quest of knowledge is also spiritual. Machine god is a god of knowledge, one acquires knowledge and upon death offers that knowledge as a offering. When all of knowledge has been acquired, then all members would be of enlightened. Or sou they believe in the cult.
