Everyone was in shock at the sight and sound of Krakens hologram.
"Who art thou?!" Luna demanded
"I just said I am Kraken of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. I've been watching your species for some time now."
Celestia stood up
"You must forgive my sister for her outburst; she can be a bit rash."
"I am not offended. Most organics are easily surprised."
Luna looked mildly insulted but shrugged it off.
"What are your intentions?" Celestia asked
Kraken raised his hand as if to begin speaking but was interrupted when the door suddenly opened behind the 2 and a small (by dragon standards), Blue Dragon walked in. The Dragon's scaly hide was a light blue color, and it had a long tail with a spade like shape on the end, and wings on its back. On its head it had darker blue spines and horns, and its face was long and thin at the muzzle, and it had orange-red eyes.
"Hello everyone." The Dragon said
"Identify yourself" Kraken's holographic form demanded
"Me? I'm Dragon Lord Ember, leader of the Dragons!"
Kraken accepted this and prepared to state his intentions.
"Your Identity has been logged. As I was preparing to state before, my intentions are to rebuild my forces utilizing your planet's resources."
"Rebuild? What happened to them?" Twilight asked
"We were engaged in battle against our opponent the newly formed Galactic Empire, formerly known as the Galactic Republic."
"Engaged in battle? So, you are at war?!" Twilight said in shock.
Everyone except Ember's face displayed a Look of both shock and horror.
"War is a terrible atrocity, how can one bring another to commit such actions against another living thing?" Celestia asked
"According to my programming, we are fighting for freedom from tyranny and oppressive government, known as the Galactic Republic."
"But how can you bring yourself to commit such violence? Are you not fighting living beings?!"
"Negative, the lives of my enemies and those who stand in the way of freedom of the Confederacy do not matter. I am not programmed to feel pity for my enemies."
"Thats horrible!" Celestia exclaimed "how can one not feel any remorse for any death?"
"I am not programmed to feel. I am not like you."
Celestia sighed, she was beginning to see that trying to reason with this war machine to abandon its violent ways was futile. It had been built with those ideas in mind, and it was loyal to them.
"Sometimes war is necessary for one to defend their freedom and harmony…" Luna reasoned
"Yes sister, but the methods described by this machine, Kraken, are not within those parameters. They are outright atrocious and merciless." Celestia replied "They go against our very standing."
"It is our primary function, our reason for existing. It's natural for organics to go to war with one another."
"Not here!" Yelled Rainbow Dash, floating up and pointing in Krakens holographic face
"Silence! I was not finished!" Kraken ordered "Our enemy utilizes an army of replicated individuals known as Clones. They are bred for combat and are nothing more than disposable individuals. Slaves, fighting for a government they have no rights in. Even so, I have not been programmed to feel sympathy for my enemy's, if they will not surrender, they will be terminated."
"I'm sorry, but we simply cannot allow the support of acts of war here in Equestria" said Celestia. "We have maintained a state of peace and harmony for thousands of years, and we will not sacrifice it by allowing you to mine our homes resources for such destructive purposes."
"You must cooperate, this planet is under Confederate authority now. Your planet and its resources belong to us."
"Nay! Our home is not under Thou's control!" Luna shouted
"If you will not allow our operation to commence peacefully, you will be made to cooperate!"
"Art, thou threatening the lives of our subjects?!" Luna yelled
"ENOUGH!" Celestia shouted in her royal Canterlot voice.
The room fell silent.
"I will not support your war by allowing you to use our home! Leave at once!"
"Negative. I do not take commands from you!" Kraken said, pointing at Celestia and Luna.
"I am Celestia, leader of Equestria and Goddess of the Sun! You will leave our home at once before your violence taints it!"
"Negative. Our operation had already begun. If you interfere, you will be eliminated like the Dragon who already has."
"You killed a Dragon?!" Ember shouted, outraged
"That is correct," Kraken confirmed "it interfered and had to be terminated."
"You have just declared war with the Dragons!"
"And by refusing to leave peacefully, and now engaging in violence, I, Princess Celestia and my subjects must now deal with you personally to restore harmony"
"You will regret not joining the Confederacy." Kraken said simply before closing the message, leaving OOM-340 and his guards alone with the angered ponies and Dragons. He saw no point staying around if negotiations had failed.
"Um… hi girls? I'll just be going now!" He said nervously
I still think that the ponies and ember made a pure dumbass mistake!
Because the unnecessary deaths will be on their HOOVES!!!!!!! They should have leave the Droids to their devices.
Eventually, the Galactic Empire/Imperial Empire will probably show up here, with no good intentions as well.
And believe me, they are WAY WORSE than the CIS/Separatists Droids in here. Because we all know the Imperial Empire is very xenophobic.
The Ponies, Dragons, and everybody else will soon regret joining the Confederacy/Separatists, when the Imperial Empire does show up.
Because, they will face two fronts of powerful space-faring armies at once!!!!
Celestia, you are so naive.
The planet of Equus will not win. I'd say that in terms of pop. vs droids, it is equal right now. But the droids have a numerus advantage.
Power, fighter/bombers, space capital ships that can destroy a planet, tanks and the likes.
The planets only true defense is dragons and magic plus the local wildlife.
Why did I not mention the other species? Cause they have nothing that can do damage (other than melee), but if I actually missed something, do tell.
If the villains' side with the Confederacy, the fall of Equus is much faster. If they also betray them, I give each one a few months, Tirek less so, cause at that point he's just a kaiju. (Cozy will just fall over or something.) Again, prove me wrong if I'm missing something.
"but the methods described by this machine, Kraken, are not within those parameters"
What methods? All he said at that point was that he was fighting and he didn't feel remorse for his enemy's.
Uh here we go, hypocrisy of the confederacy that claims they are fighting for freedom.
Luna can literally smack their fleet with her Moon!
Celestia will not use mere dragon fire level of heat to melt them...

Is it just me, or are B1 Commanders better at resolving situations peacefully?
I swear, you can't help but feel bad for B1s... They always draw the short end.

That could got the planet too
