Yeah, but I am not agreeing to that. Assuming Keyguy does not force on me it will never happen.

Warning: Wall of Equine related text incoming. If you do not want to see, please skip over this post. Just thought Id post what I wrote so far(I am to much of optimist, and that is why I even began writing it in the first place) and see if it change's anyone's minds. Name of nation: The Union of Equestria, in informal speech simply referred to as Equestria or the Equestrian Union. Species: The Union of Equestria comprises many species, most of which come from Equiis, the capital and homeworld of Equestria. A few however have joined the Equestria ever since it ascended into space, spreading further the massive cultural influence of Equestria. Most of Equestria’s species also have magic. *Ponies* are the first of the many species that comprise Equestria. One of the most prominent do to their rather large population and there huge influence on Equestria. Ponies eyes, fur, and mane, and tail can be of any color, creating some rather weird displays that seem out of place to most normal species. The ponies consist of five different subtypes, each with different traits and abilities. The first and most populous of these is the Earth Ponies, with their magical abilities centering around connections to planets and animals, as well as being able to tend crops much better than other subtypes can, as well as having increased strength over the other subtypes. Earth ponies tend to become farmers, laborers, factory workers, and frontline soldiers, however there has been prominent Earth pony philosophers and scientists in the past. The next pony subtype are the Pegasi, the posses wings on their body and are capable of flight, and can also manipulate the weather and a few can fly so fast as to go into faster then sound speeds, although pegasi with that level of speed are rarely born. They tend to be soldiers, and the more unique job of weather control specialists. The next type are the Unicorns, with of course a horn-like protrusion coming off of their head, they are one of the two subtypes capable of tapping directly into magic. Unicorns tend to be the scientists, doctors, philosophers, and other high leveled management positions that require a lot of skill. The next to last of the subtypes are the bat ponies, which are pretty much the same as the pegasi except they have fangs and bat-like wings. They exclusively make up the Lunar Guard. The final subtype are the alicorns, who are a combination of all the subtypes with a exception of the bat ponies. They have greatly increased magical power, and are biologically immortal. Alicorns are chosen to become one by their deeds and service to Equestria, there is currently four, and they are referred to as Princes or Princesses.. The next of the species that make up Equestria vast and varied population are the *Griffons*. Along with ponies they seem to make up most of Equestria do to their prominence. Griffons look much like they do in the tales of Earth’s past, however they have a few extra colorings. There wings do not allow for as fast or as long flight as the Pegasi, but it is a advantage none the less. There magical abilities are centered around increased strength and agility. They are very much a warrior race, and have produced some of the best strategists of Equestria. A lot of the military is comprised of Griffons due to their nature, as well as the High Command of the military, leading many to believe that they hold absolute control over Equestria’s miliary, although with the ultimate authority of the Alicorns this is not the case. *Dragons* are the third species of Equestria, with the smallest being the size of small sheds(although rarely herald Dragons as they are known are born and they are smaller than ponies)and the largest reaching the size of a small mountain, although dragons that large rarely do arise and even then due to their size spend most of their time sleeping and dreaming. Magical abilities of Dragons center around their unique magical fire, and long uninterrupted flight, although they can not fly that fast. The fourth species are the *Zebras*, a rather secretive and hidden race. They tend to not involve themselves in the larger political machine of Equestria, keeping to their own communities and devices. Zebra’s do however make extremely good potion brewers, being able to easily and effectively memorize ingredients and potion combinations. For that reason a majority of Zebras that live outside of the communities they built work in magical research labs, developing new and effective potions everyday. The fifth species in the Equestrian Union and the last of which originated from Equiis are the *Buffalo*. Buffalo are rather strong, stronger than even Earth Ponies, and this is really their only talent. Buffalo are not particularly intelligent, and thus make up a majority the working class labourers and factory workers. They do not often participate in politics, and thus have very little influence over Equestria’s political future. They are often the most forgotten of all the species of Equestria. The sixth species of Equestria are the *Saraphram*, a rather peaceful and happy humanoid species. They have a sort of whitish blue skin, with most of them having long light green flowing hair. They were granted magic when they joined the Equestrian Union, and while they are able to tap into it directly it is noted that they are much better with nature and healing spells over others. However despite the peacefulness of the culture and Equestrians they joined Equestria via war rather than peaceful cultural assimilation as the Equestrians would have prefered. They were previously enslaved by the much more violent and aggressive Tygochan, and since Equestrian culture depicts slavery as a brutal and violent act that they say cries out to Faust for vengeance they initiated a war to free the Saraphram. With the Royal Family murdered the Saraphram gladly joined their liberators, happily living in peace after being enslaved for so long. The seventh and final species of Equestria are the *Tygochan*. The Tygochan are a mammalian race, although lack hair on most of their bodies. Their skin is very rough, and is usually dark colors. They are very strong, and violent. They as mentioned had war declared on them for their enslavement of the Saraphram and their rather violent nature. They were not granted magic, as they have not been considered trustworthy enough for it due to their past actions of slavery and their government, which has been in history books depicted as evil and tyrannical. Tygochan Nationalists have recently become a problem for the Equestrian Government, often causing riots and fights with the police. However before Equestria can land boots on the ground and stop them Tygochan loyalists have come in and fought with them, leaving the military to arrive at a rather bloody scene. Due to the free speech policies of Equestria Nationalists keep on vilifying the Equestrian government, and have used the Tygochan’s lack of magic despite being in the Union of Equestria to get many Loyalists to become Nationalists.

> Its cool you planned it with key.....but im and were not Key, how else were we supposed to find out? Ultimately this. You're at war with half the galaxy, with yet another race about to strike an alliance with the Septonians and enter the conflict. Rather than atart an entire new war to get rid of the Iscandarians, lets just press the ones we have.

You're at war with half the galaxy, with yet another race about to strike an alliance with the Septonians and enter the conflict. Rather than atart an entire new war to get rid of the Iscandarians, **lets just press the ones we have**. That was exactly what was going to happen.

Fair enough Also, that poll seems to have an unusual amount of responses considering how many people are in the RP Note, I voted twice, so please disregard one of the "I don't care" votes. I voted, then realised my reasoning behind saying "I don't care" was more in line with a Yes (The reasoning being that in a Sandbox RP with close to total freedom, my personal feelings towards magical space ponies are completely irrelevant on whether, under our own previously used rules and standarss, he should be allowed to apply with them. I'm not going to fiddle the standards just because of my personal opinions on magical space ponies)

People in Andromeda were given a right to voye as well since the two RPs will be merged sooner or later. Plus I know there is people floating around and observing the thread who voted but are not posting.

Edit:Poll Over. This poll is in regards to how magic should be balanced, if you already voted over in Andromeda, do not vote here. This does say Andromeda, but by Keyguy's word the result will effect both RPs. Oh, and the Equestrian poll is over, ponies won.

I couldn't resist :c

Really Wilson? You interrupted a serious battle for a little joke?

You bet.

Still looking for more nations?

Its the final battle!!! and yea monkey were still lookin

> Still looking for more nations? Always accepting, I can not wait to be zerg rushed :D.

woot for music inspired lore posts

I don't see how going on patrol, screaming at a recruit, and then shooting a scorpion makes the connection to the song. Dunno if it's just me or no.

Maybe I didnt put enough detail into the post............. its a classic Vietnam song, so I thought patrolling through the jungle would bring that out. Ill take it down though if no one gets it, it just feels dumb.

It's fine, it's just that I don't listen to much older music. *shrug*

Well its down anyway, failed attempt 1

Apollo I managed to read the post before. Destroying all members of a hostile species(assuming it was non-sentient) would be disastrous. You could be wiping out a potential predator of a smaller species, leaving it to breed without having any predators and spread rapidly. This sucks up the natural resources and causes problems for all other species. And you would not just be wiping out one predator, you be wiping out quite a few different species. You could also end up considering territorial species as aggressive, thus leading to you killing them. Basically, your completely fucking the eco-system of the entire world before you have even colonized it. If this is really what the Septonians have done that each and every one of their colonies and planets will be going through terrible ecological disasters.

@Duck They are killing the mutated remnants of past civilizations ( see my CS), they are barely sentient and feral. Its not like one big hunting trip, they know the difference between territorial and hostile. These creatures/feral beings seek them out and try to kill them because they see them as invaders. What they are doing would be like removing humans from the top of the food chain, the rest of the ecosystem remains intact while the changes made from removing the prime predator are acceptable.
