Chapter 1: The Collapse of the Solar Empire

Load Full Story Next Chapter

Not Long ago, the Solar Empire was a land of vast opportunity and promise, while the world burned in the flames of the Chrysalis campaigns.

Our ponies enjoyed decades of peace and prosperity beyond compare.

Due to incompetence, resource overruns and weariness of troops, the Solar Empire's intervention in the Changeling aggression was effectively paralyzed.

Then, a few months later, the citizens of Equestria would wake up with images of real troops marching through the streets of the crystalline capital of the Allied empire.

In the North, the war was over, but here Equestria, our misfortune had just begun.

When the dust settled, most of the north remained dominated by Chrysalis, and the rest by Trot-Skian and revanchist Unionists.

As a ruler, Celestia was truly alone.

With poverty, devastating the land of freedom, young and radical Pony's left their homelands to fight in the diverse civil wars that dominated much of the world, and when they returned and saw their hungry families and confiscated fields, they were eager to ignite the flames of discontent and anger at the government in fires of revolution.

With Union protests in various parts of the country and the inevitable crash of the economy, Celestia and the Senate saw no solution but to order Shinning Armor, the "Equestrian Sombra", in power.

These would be the last breaths for a doomed nation.

At the end of that year, Senator Filthy Rich, addressed the citizens of Equestria, and in a fervent radio speech, called the Solar Empire, a "Dead Nation".

Joining his cause, several states in the south rejected the dictates of our sovereign and senate, and formed an 'Equestrian Union State', promising to end the corrupt government that brought the nation to ruin.

This radical movement was followed by Trot-Skians and Revolutionaries in the north, who formed an 'Equestrian Workers Union', controlling the regions of the great lakes in the north around Fillydelphia.

Fearing that the conflict would take over, the Western Territories split and declared themselves the Pacific States of Equestria, with Chicoltgo as head of their 'real government', and marched their divisions east, to guard the borders and maintain the Status-quo in that region.

Almost overnight, one of the last beams of freedom in the world collapsed, in the revolutionary chaos that had dominated the Griffin Empire, Saddle Arabia and the Crystal Empire.

Brother took arms against brother

Fathers against their foals, and villages and cities across the nation have become blazing war zones.

Bitterest words have never been said in the history of Equestria.

The First Equestrian Civil War had begun.

The Shattered Solar Empire is now limited to cities encircled by militias and royal guards loyal to Celestia and Shinning Armor.

Surrounded on all sides, solar troops fight in a desperate retreat to safeguard their supply lines for loyal troops in the northeast, being attacked day and night in the ruins of the once proud nation's former glory.

Our cause seems long lost.

But if we go back to remembering decades ago.

In the war of unification.

Celestia's Royal Guards were swept by the mountains, only to return over the northern rivers and against all odds deliver a glorious victory in Canterlot!

Our descendants fought on beside her, and so shall we!

We will unite against these rebels and bring the law of order back to our great nation!

So salute the flag, friends and foals!

For our homes, for our families, For our future!

We will fight on! As our forefathers did!

We proclaim this sacred oath!

Down with traitors! Forward to the sun!

DOWN TO TRAITORS! FOWARD TO THE SUN!

Author's Notes:

I returned! (kind of)

This is one of my ideas that I put into practice, recently I joined the Kaiserreich community, and I had a blast with everything and was inspired to do a version in Equestria.

This is more for me to have some fun with the idea and for me to warm up my fervor of writing, I hope you like it!
