Equestria lost The Great War with the Changeling Hives, and subsequently its independence. Many ponies continued fighting the occupying forces for the next two years, but none more so than the founding mothers of the Equestrian Liberation Front- Startlight Glimmer and Trixie Lulamoon.

Luckily, there will be another war. There always is.
