Princess Twilight Sparkle was a forward scout of the Equestrian Federation. Darting from star to star in the fastest vessel ever built, she was tasked with exploring the unknown. She spent every waking moment visiting new stars and planets, as she journeyed toward the galactic center.

A decade and thousands of light years into her mission, Twilight received an order to return home and refused it. She’s too committed to her quest; she has invested far too much time and hope to abandon it.

Now a fugitive for disobeying her orders, Twilight warps into a new star system. She has just moments to breathe before her pursuers catch up again. With no choice but to go onward, she takes the time to continue her exploration, before returning to her quest toward the galactic center.

A crossover based loosely off of the premise of No Man's Sky

As keepers of celestial bodies, the two royal sisters must have thorough knowledge of orbital mechanics. Celestia has studied many things, but unfortunately those things don’t include math and physics. This makes managing an object that obeys only the laws of math and physics rather difficult.

Celestia is struggling with her astrodynamics assignment, when Luna comes in. She finds that she has trouble with more than just her assignment.
