Walking down the brightly lite hallway, Commander General couldn't help but wince at the signs of Cerberus.

It was everywhere. Hell, even on the doorknobs. He couldn't help but shake his head at it. Were they spending all the bits just to paint this symbols? He ended up at a reception desk, where a deskpony ask him to wait in the waiting room. He nodded his thanks at the deskpony and sat down in the comfy chair with a good view of the color changing star. He couldn't help but growled at this group, he didn't not like the way things run here, but he knew how things work in real life. Here, in Cerberus, the innocent souls of Equestria was introduced to the the sins of the galaxy's underworld.

"General?" a buxom brunette wearing skin tight clothing that left nothing to the imagination called to him. He didn't like her, she felt...unnatural. "The Illusive Man will see you now." He nodded his head and began to followed her.

Already his patience was at a peak when he saw the room, now he was just pissed. All this empty space in the room with a single chair...and for what? A clear view of the star? He kept his temper in check, at least for now.

"Thank you Miss Lawson." The Illusive Man said, smoking his cigar with little care of who stood behind him.

"I didn't come here to see you." Commander General said, his arms crossed, looking somewhat upset. "Where is Discord?"

"I am sorry to say that my chaotic boss is not here at the moment, but I can pass the information to him, Mr. Ramirez." The Illusive Man said in a bored tone, that was until an unimaginable pressure fell over him, causing him to gasp.

"Listen here, Mr Harper." Commander General said, his voice even, "Simply because you survived the the First Contact and that Discord holds you in high regard. Doesn't give you the right to call me by name. I survived far worse. Do you understand, Jack?" He turn to find Miss Lawson leveling a sub machine gun at him, but was sweating like mad.

"Gah! Yes, I understand! Stand down Miranda." Illusive Man breathed out. Commander General leaned forward.

"Call Discord."

-Several Hour Later-

Discord stood before Commander General, wearing a tropical T-shirt and holding a fruity drink. He also looked irritated at the man before him. They were in his office for privacy.

"You know, the one time I take a vacation is the time you and Tia decided to bother me. I mean, I was on Terra Nova, on the beaches of Melena enjoying the sun." he pouted. Commander General did not look like he cared, but only pulled out a scroll and handed it to him.

"Look at this." Commander General said. Discord grabbed the scroll and began to read. His eyes becoming narrow as the information was relayed to him. He looked up at Commander General with some signs of anger.

"How? How can this happen?" Discord growled, throwing the scroll on his desk.

"That is what we are wondering. These people are disappearing from our view."

"Wait...these are the inner systems colonies..." Discord said, looking over the data again, his eyes becoming wide, "Even on Equestria!"

"Which is why I brought it to you...Is it possible that-"

"NO." Discord said, "The Council and Terminus Systems cannot access our relays without setting off dozen of alarms. They have access to outer systems, but are forbidden to enter the inner ones."

"Discord..." Commander General softly spoke up. "This means that it is someone on the inside...on our side."

Discord sat down, eyes looking more tired. "I know..."

"And there is only one group that has the capabilities of pulling this off."

"Cerberus..." Discord said, "No...I know my people. They understand how the galaxy works, yes, but they would never..."

"Discord?"

"If this information is correct...this has been going on for years..." Discord lowered his head into his paws, slowly rubbing his temples. "I... I will check...I will try to find them. If it is a rouge group...I will take care of it." Commander General nodded his head, before getting up and leaving. Both unaware of someone else looking into their conversation.

-TIM office-

Slowly putting out the cigar, The Illusive Man watched and listen to the scene on the screen.

"Miranda."

"Yes Sir?"

"Make sure all of our data on our cells are secured." Miranda nodded her head. "And Miranda?"

"Yes?"

"If there are any loose ends...Make it disappear."

"Right away." Miranda walk out of the office. The Illusive Man sighed, reaching down and petting one of the heads of the young Cerberus at his side.

"I'm sorry leader...but the galaxy holds many secrets...and those secrets are keys to our survival..." He raised his glass to the star outside.

"For Equestria."

-Alpha Shipyard-

Quarians walked around the frame of the ship to insure that their was no cracks or weakness, Diamond dogs inspecting the metals before giving their go ahead to the Unicorns to start the adding runes to it. Minotaurs carrying large supplies on their shoulders to the humans and griffons that were carefully welding additional frames.

Celestia and Luna stood in the office with a clear window watching their people work.

"Amazing design Luna."

"Thank you sister." Luna beamed. "She is going to be the first of her class."

"Yes...A true stealth frigate. It pains me that we may need one, but reports of STG and Spectres trying to make their way into the Inner Colonies is troublesome."

"Any attempt to apprehend them has failed. Even when the ship are truly invisible to the naked eye, they still spot us." Luna huffed, "Thankfully, the Quarians pointed out the problem."

"Heat." Celestia mused "I don't think that would have been a problem, but there are things the Council are better at." Luna simply turn her nose up at that statement. Celestia turn her head to Luna.

"What is this fine ship's name going to be?" Luna thought for a moment.

"Normandy." She said after a few minutes

"Normandy?" Celestia asked?

"It was in the few books that I read from old Earth." Luna clarified. "A battle that the humans waged. Thousands of souls perished to take the beach of Normandy. The beginning steps to stop a mad man from taking over their world. They sacrificed so much just to take it from the enemy. Now, this ship will be remembered for their sacrifice. I know Estevan will appreciate it. " She blushed at the comment.

"Oh?" Celestia prodded

"Yes." Luna looked down, her smile looking more sad. "His grandfathers were there. His grandfather on his father side died there. While his other lost an arm and barely survived. Estevan said that his grandfather had PTSD and didn't understand why he acted that way when he was younger. Now he knows."

"I see." Celestia said, placing a wing on Luna's back. "I know the General will love this."

"He will." Luna said, "Now we must find a pilot."

"I believe I know which might be good for her." Celestia smiled. "He is quite the joker this one."

Codex Entry: Ponies

Ponies are natural born citizens of Equestria and vary between themselves. There are three classes:

'Earth' Ponies

Pegasus

Unicorns

Earth Ponies are the working class and the most inventive of the group. They lack any means of magic nor do they posses passive magic. Their magic is inert and is used for their cutie marks. They are the strongest of all three classes, though there are exceptions to this. On the fields of battle, they are the heavy weapons and supply runners.

Pegasus ponies are the weather class and jack of trades group. Their own form of magic is passive and limited to controlling the weather. Few can actually call it forward, in the form of a sonic boom when going fast enough. On the fields of battle, they are winged supply 'runners', weather assaults, flight assaults, and snipers.

Unicorn are the mage class and the mind focus of the group. They actively use magic and use it for many different things. They are also hold the smallest numbers of all the group. All unicorns can tap into a form that boost their magic for a limited time, whether through pain, anger, or mediation. It is also the most dangerous when in use due to the backlash on the body. On the fields of battle, they are the artillery and Boosters to the troops.

Codex Entry: Griffons

Griffons are natural born citizens of Equestria. Their ability to fly give them an advantage over many species of the galaxy. While not on par with pegasus and their weather manipulation, they make up for it for their keen eyes and their ability to fight. Fierce and strong, they make the back bone of flight groups due their ability to use their claws to either hold weapons or use them on the enemy.

Sadly, since the First Contact, griffons were to be found to be a delicacy to several species, along with the ponies. Mostly to the batarians, many STG and Spectres found the remains of several capture SA species on their ships and eaten.

Codex Entry: Minotaurs

Minotaurs are natural born citizens of Equestria. Standing over 9 feet on average, these beings are the tallest of any recorded bipedal species to date. They are strong and can endure many blows like a krogan. They are the heavy weapons experts of the SA.

They only have small numbers, but a majority of them are enlisted into Alliance. Many stories circulating the Extranet stated that they can flip tanks with some effort and take on a Ymir mech head on.

Codex Entry: Zebras

Zebras are natural born citizens of Equestria. Zebras have some form of magic, but only limited to the use of potions and poisons, making them more effective. Most Zebras in the Alliance are medics and have help create Medi-gel for the greater galaxy, with the help of the Quarians. Several STG members had asked for Zebra's help into finding cures and antidotes for poisons and cancers due to the Zebras natural talent in medicine.

Codex Entry: Dragons

Draogns are natural born citizens of Equestria. Massive in size and strength, fighting a dragon was akin to fighting a thresher maw. The only difference was that one dug under ground and can be only limited to one place when it came up, the other can fly...and breathe fire.

Natural scales that are diamond hard, powerful jaws that can crush said diamond, and wings powerful enough to flip a tank over, dragons are practically living gunships. And the Alliance capitalized on it. Alliance dragons are able to carry troops, weapons, and tanks into battle. Deck out in heavy armor and guns on their forearms, dragons are especially dangerous to go against. Younger dragons in the Alliance have the same training that regular troops go through before they get too big and are train with other, larger dragons.

Codex Entry: Diamond Dogs

Diamond Dogs are natural born citizens of Equestria. Diamond dogs status were like those of the vorcha to the rest of the galaxy. However, when the humans appeared and took note of them. They took it upon themselves to better them. Today, Diamond Dogs are head of the business sectors of the Alliance due to their shrewdness and have been butting heads with the volus for sometime.

Diamond Dogs metal and ceramic works are on all ships, weapons, and armor. Their ability to see and test for brittleness and impurities have been an big asset to the Alliance.

Codex Entry: Cross Species Relationships

Cross species relationships are nothing new in the Alliance. With recent new species added in this just gave the Alliance new diversity. It took the humans about 2 centuries before they finally became open with their relations with their new neighbors. This was due to the fact that the ponies were nothing but animals back were they were from.

Today, it is not odd to see an Earth Stallion dating a human woman nor a Human man dating a young female dragon. For the rest of the galaxy, it was the Asari found themselves to be actually pushed back when trying to date humans as they are uncomfortable with them. Mostly due to the rumors of that they are promiscuous beings.

Codex Entry Update: Old Earth

Old Earth, termed by the humans, is a radiological disaster of a planet due to the number of nuclear missiles launched during the Armageddon War. However, when information came forward about Earth that was found by wandering traders. The Council began to ask questions.

The answer they received stunned them.

Humans, while citizens of Earth, were not from this realm of reality, but a far different one. While some may dismiss this claim, it was verified by the Asari Councilor Tevos with a volunteer Melding with Commander General.

Their world dying and survived with few nuclear ships sailing the radiated waters. They began the construction of a device that will take them away from their world. In that time, hundreds died while it was being constructed. Incomplete and desperate, they fired the device. They soon found themselves in the world of Equestria and their salvation.

While some demand to see the device, Councilor Tevos stamp that idea out. The device was dangerous, and the humans were lucky enough to land in Equestria. Even if Tevos were to give them the plans, as Commander General was there the entire time to see it. It would not benefit them, as they have no way of knowing where they were going. When asked about the device, Commander General stated it was put away and under lock and key.

Name: Estevan Ramirez

Age: 1057

Occupation: Commander General of the System Alliance/Teacher/ Trainer

A picture comes into view. Clear blue sky in the background with nothing but desert surrounding the area. A single, ancient human armor vehicle with a large gun on top is sitting behind the human.

A human with body armor and ancient weapon stands looking off in the distance, tense and ready to fight. This is one of the few surviving pictures of Old Earth before the missiles rain down on the earth.

This is also the only picture of Commander General before taking up the cloak he now wears.
