Message to all powers
"We do not have the ability to take a away magic! We were not aware of there loss of it, and the Triarians only say this to take advantage of us!"
Equestrian Outer World
Celestia ONE activates. The strikes quickly hit the beacons, taking them out. Bombers move into mop up the forces that managed to get in while fighters engage the ships responsible for launching the beacons. The fleet stays inside the shield, just unleashing fast firing weapons to prevent the Triarians from teleporting to dodge them.

((The wave is pure magic energy, you wouldn't be able to reproduce it electronically. That and the megaspell needs someone whos a magical being, which the Makudan factions now lack.))

Equiis-Collective conflict 001

The beacons are hit and destroyed, but not before they transmit back universal homing co-ordinates. There is a surge of energy, and then a massive 'Super Portal' opens in the sky, dropping a several mile tall triangular based tower into the surface of the planet, the ground shattering and a crater raising as this alien construct embeds it's self, about three quaters of a mile of it's bottom embedded into the ground. It's dark energy and hardlight weaponry comes alive and fires upon the Equestrian ships that are inside the shield, it's shield activates and it's form changes, it's resiliant alien materials opening up about two thirds of the way up, deploying gunships out into the open, which trace the bombers and speed after them, firing their warp cannons. A massive arc of dark energy shoots from it, heading towards the Dreadnought. Phase tanks exit in their phased mode, flying across the skies of the world and spreading around, and finally come dropships, forcing their way across the world to drop their forces, aerial synths and gunships acting as escourts.
The space ships vanish again, this time reappearing above the planet and pounding the shield with energy projectors, dark energy casters and plasma upon the enemy shielding, attempting to destroy it. The ships which are being engaged by fighters, turn their guns and fire, their point defences making short work of the enemy craft. Drones spew out of the larger craft that are within the shield, engaging the enemy bombers along with the gunships

[null123]

Equestrian Outer Colony
Balefire megaspells were authorized. The tower was in a field far away from cities, safe enough. 4 Balefire megaspells were deployed in a sequence against the tower. The Equestrian fighters and bombers had left the area. The Fleet in orbit started sacrificing energy to the shield to keep it stable, while deploying there own Balefire megaspells to stop the Triarian ships.

[darkwolf687]

Equiis-Collective Conflict, Incident 001

The first of the megaspells impacted with the tower, but it's shield held firm. The second smashed and the shield faded and died and the last two closed in... and then there was a flash and the megaspells vanished, before appearing again and impacting with the Equestrian World Shield. The Triarian ships continued to pelt the shield and the enemy ships with weaponry, and the Triarian fighter bomber craft continued to smash the planet... Then the Triarian ships vanished from the system, having withdrawn, though the tower continued it's fighting for much longer, and all the remaining forces still a match enough to cause devastation to the planet.

[null123]

Equestrian Colony World
Once the Triarian ships disappeared the battle turned in the favor of the Equestrians. Ground forces deployed as the structure was orbitally bombarded, with Archmages in hand ready to teleport around shells in case the Triarians tried that again. While this battle was almost over, a new conflict was rising, right on Equiis.

Canterlot Castle, Equiis
"My own sister would dare turn on me once again" said Celestia. The words echoed across the Throne Room. Twilight and Cadence had already retreated, preparing there supporters for the arrival of the Civil War. Luna and Celestia remained, and they held melee weapons with in there telekinetic grasp. They had both inflicted wounds on each other, and blood covered the once pure white marble floor. The two fought again, this time Celestia managed to strike Luna across the chest, and Celestia would have put her down there and then, if a certain somebody hadn't appeared at that moment.

The High Archmage fired a blast of pure magic energy at Celestia, knocking her out.

"Come Luna, we must prepared, the fighting has already begun" said Duck de Steelhorn. The two left the Throne room, preparing for the war ahead.

Equestrian Civil War
The Equestrian Civil War has begun. If nations didn't already know it was due to a ideological conflict between the Princesses and there various supporters. 4 distinct sides have erupted, with them all declaring them selves a new nations.

The Celestial Empire is headed by Celestia. She wants to maintain the old order.

The New Lunar Republic is headed by Luna, who wants to institute a lot of democracy.

The Workers Union of Equestria is headed by Twilight, who wants to establish a dictatorship on the dream to a communist Utopia.

Finally there is the Crystal Collective, headed by Cadence who wants to switch to a greater good doctrine.

It is unclear what side has the most support at the moment, but Luna did manage to grab most of the Pact Military's weapons and ships, along with research stations and the likes. Luna also has the High Archmage and a majority of the Archmages on her side. Celestia also falling into insanity had fired the Magical Removal spell again, stripping the former Pact Races of there magical abilities.

Treaty
A quickly thrown together treaty for the war with the Triarians will secede several Batarian and Turian worlds near Collective space to the Triarians. It gives compensation in the form of 10,000 tons of each of the basic metals.

[darkwolf687]

Equiis-Collective Conflict, Incident 001

The tower finally enacted it's self destruct, over charging it's dark energy reactors. The tower was completely destroyed, and a chunk the size of India was torn out of the planet where the Tower had been erected

Treaty

The Collective has sent back a counter proposal, which will not only cede the aforehere mentioned Batarian and Turian worlds, but also their inhabitants as well as several worlds of the Asari and their inhabitants. The Compensation remains the same and it states that the conflict will end immediately and that the Collective will not interfer militarily with the Equestrian civil war if the treaty is accepted

[null123]

Treaty
The treaty has been accepted, however only two low population Asari worlds were seceded.

Equestrian Civil War
Using designs from a Pact Research station the NLR has successfully deployed the first biotic soldiers, with implants and have a machine to determine who could survive dust form Eezo.. They have also managed to gain the only known Eezo reserves. The war is starting to heat up, with most of the conflicts being Celestial Empire VS NLR and then WUE VS the CC. The NLR seems to have the most supporters at the moment, and controls vast swaths of Equestrian Space.

[darkwolf687]

Triarian forces have moved in and claimed the worlds given to them in the treaty. The greater good prevails plays throughout Collective worlds and the newly claimed worlds as Equitem soldiers stomp through the streets, exercising their authority as they claim the world

All Collective forces, and the forces of the unknown contact, have withdrawn from Equestrian space

The forces have seized any Equestrian and Equiis technology and knowledge on the world. They have entered the prisons of the planet, taken all the useful knowledge from the minds of the Prisoners before brainwashing them and making them into the first Civilis Protectione for the planets. Anyone caught on the planet now officially belongs to the Collective, and due to the Equiis pact free movement policy, it is possible that they have obtained individuals from other pact races as well. They are compiling the figures from the headcount to be displayed immediately.

[Sukui]

Civil War
Nexen has accidentally leaked their documents, which reveals their goal to find and eradicate the Aeternals as a goal to bring the real collapse of the Makudan that once was. In response, the Council has sarcastically congratulated the Nexen for their "outstanding method of achieving goals", "excellent use of warfare in supposedly bringing order", "premium-grade classified document security", and "absurd quality asset handling". In all seriousness, however, all of what's left of the Makudan that remains in orbit of Lakfakalle and on one planet requests an exception to the Equestrian's removal of magic in order to begin their efforts to restore unity within the Kaiyouan species.

Contact with two other planets have been lost for unknown reasons.

[null123]

Former Pact Worlds that are now Triarian
While the worlds do contain new technology they are just bits of old outdated technology the respective races had. The advanced technology of the Pact was removed long before the Triarians arrived. There are no Equestrians on the planet, as they did not migrate out that far. The prisoners contained a few ideas about cultural stuff regarding the Turians, Batarians, and Asari.

Aeternal Request
It has been ignored due to the fact that the Equestrians are in hte middle of there own civil war.

[darkwolf687]

New worlds

"Attention, please. Citizenship details are being allotted by your local civilis protections teams. Co-operation with your civilis protections team, permit half ration reward." The Overwatch voice blurted put, before continuing to speak "Attention. Worship of Faust or any other deities is strictly prohibited and will result in repurposing. All currency will be turned in to your local civilis protectione team. Exactly 2 turns of your planet from now, Equiis currency will be deemed contraband. All clothing will be turned in to the Civilis Protectione, standard valid clothing will be issued. Some articles of clothing may be considered valid, consult your Civilis Protectione team for confirmation. Attention, your laws have been replaced with Collective law codes. All laws are to be memorised immediately. Thought of the day: None have died in service to the greater good have died in vain" Linthe sighed as she watched the streets. The Equitem continued to watch the streets, Marchers striding overhead and gunships flying above through the skies, as the Civilis Protectiond performed phase one stabalisation duties. Already announcement screens had been deployed, displaying the new law code, other information, suspended and removed rights and Civilis Protectione recruitment images, obviously attempted to attract recruits to the union. Some of the slogans were rather appealing, she had to admit, such as "A peaceful future and a better tomorrow" or "Peace through fraternity" but others were scary or foreboding, such as "Effective Intimidation" while others were both good and bad, such as "Ever Vigilant" It didn't take her long to work out that they were division motto's, and it appeared each had a different task within the Collective. Linthe shook her head slowly. The Collective was brutally stripping away the past, leaving only the 'compatible' parts of the races culture behind. But one had to admire their efficiency. They'd barely arrived and they already had a police force set up, security being set in place and began to rearrange their industry, all without listening to a word of protest
And yet, for all this, it wasn't as brutal as she had thought it would be. The Triarian officers who had come down had greeted them warmly, and explained what the process of absorption would entail. The Civilis Protectione units were passive enough, some were even mildly friendly, and the Synths, though physically imposing, weren't the brutal oppressors she had feared... They weren't friendly by any stretch of the imagination, but they were mostly simply indifferent towards them. What was going to happen now? Their governments had abandoned them quicker than a burning building, and now they were in Collective hands... Whether this would be good and fair for them in the long term had yet to be seen

[null123]

Resistance
While the Asari worlds aren't putting up any resistance the Batarian and Turian Worlds are. Secret groups have also been found that are attempting to continue worship of there respective destinies.

Battle of Equiis
The ones grassy fields of Equiis was host to some of the most brutal battles the Equestrians have ever seen. Ships fly overhead, unleashing destructive payloads on the enemies below. The WUE and CC had withdrawn, leaving the fight of Equiis to the New Lunar Republic and the Celestial Empire. The New Lunar Republic was quickly winning, reclaiming land and using magic to restore it to its former state, as if there had never been any fighting at all. The High Archmage with forces behind him began what would be the battle that the NLR needed to win to achieve victory and control Equiis. The forces rapidly headed towards Canterlot Castle, the rest of Canterlot had been seized just that day. However inside rested rested not Celestia but Solar Flare, a corrupted version of Celestia.

[TehAlphaGamer]

Treaty

Fleetmaster Gorka'kum stood at the bridge of the corvette Gossamer, an officer stood next to him observing the fleet, his wrist panel was projecting a document in blue light.

"SCNOSE Commander is ordering a complete recall of the stealth fleet. After those fireworks it seems some sort of treaty has been signed and the fighting has, for the most part, ended." the inferior officer reported.

"That's fine. Order the fleet to get to lightspeed and return to Hub Fleet 003." Gorka'kum replied.

"Aye, sir."

Equiis Civil War

An OGVS unit has been deployed by air to assist with civil issues arising on the planet of Equiis. The 3rd Military Police Brigade, the legendary "Karboria Vanguard," has been deployed to provide relief. Communications have been broadcasted asking for whoever needed help.

[darkwolf687]

"Within the cycle, the Equiis pact will lie broken, I believe."
"Affirmed, their civil war only proves it."
"They bent knee to us and ceded several planets, species and paid reparations after a single attack, the others hadn't even devloped into proper combat."
"I told you they would back down when faced with our might."

Equiis Civil War

The Collective has offered temporary asylum towards any individual from the conflict, whether they be civilian, military or even Alicorn, the Collective is willing to accommodate refugee's temporarily until the conflict is settled. Any wishing to accept this should proceed to the Space Station near the Center of the Galaxy, and they have declared the Space Station and an area approximately a light year around it to be neutral territory for the factions of the civil war, to last the duration of the Civil War.

Resistance

The Collective is less than pleased with the Batarian and Turian Resistance. The Synths and Civilis protectione are under Dagger Orders, a Judgement Waiver has been put into effect and rewards are being offered for units that are able to bring in resistors for 'Repurposing'. Psionic beacons have been deployed in area's with High Unrest in order to bring them under control, after which it is planned to implement loyalty enhancements into all disloyal aspects of the population so that they will be unable to rebel again.

[null123]

Equiis
The OVGS unit has not been allowed to land. NLR Forces say they have almost complete control of the planet and things are settling down on the surface.

Duck de Steelhorn looked around. His little army had successfully seized Canterlot Castle, and put a end to the rest of the fighting on Equiis. There was only one more job to be done. He marched into a Throne Room where he saw Solar Flare, not a word was spoke before a duel was engaged. Duck drew his sword, as in Solar Flare's weakened state they were equal of magical power, and would not best each other like that. Sword clashed against sword, the echoes of it filling the halls of the Castle. However Duck was better with swords and bested Solar Flare, he drove his blade through her heart.

The next few moments seemed to be a blur, Duck's life seemed to flash before his eyes, as if he was about to die. He suddenly felt a lot of energy enter him, and he found himself in the Throne Room, he was a Alicorn.

[TehAlphaGamer]

Equiis

Prevented from landing? Certainly there must've been a problem, or so the Sazkarjhia units there thought. The issue seemed worse apparently. A Trikolo II-Class Orbital Bombardment Vessel entered the atmosphere of Equiis, and out of its docking bay came a dozen or so HV-6 Sparrowhawk VTOL aircraft loaded with airdrop servicemen; "Firejumpers", as they're called.

They dodged through the clouds, their large, triangular wings cutting through the air. The nose-mounted four-barrel autocannon adjusted as its barrels loaded up, and locks were released on the air-to-ground missiles loaded specially onto the aircraft. The lead of the flight maneuvered towards the center as it got closer towards the ground, swiveling its engines downwards and decreasing power as it slowed down along with the rest of the Sparrowhawks. One of the soldiers onboard the lead spoke into the comm in his helmet.

"Approaching target. ETA five minutes. Altitude, 600 meters and closing. All equipment is checked and in working order. Ready for drop, over." he yelled over the whip of the wind and the thunder of the twin plasmajet engines.

"Affirmative, you are clear for drop." a voice called over it. Once the Sparrowhawks reached over their destination, the airdrop soldiers climbed towards the wings. The leader gave a hand wave signaling a drop, and they leapt.

They fell through the air, their velocity increasing. They went from a spread-eagle position to a parachuting-position as the disposable thruster packs fired up. When they did, blue light shot from the vest assembly as they slowed their descent, most of them reach down relatively slowly and touched down on the ground. They withdrew their rifles, and sprung the packs off of their backs. They moved forward towards the capital castle as the Sparrowhawks flew away. One of them spoke over comm.

"This is Spearhead Lead, we are returning to the ship, standing by for gun-run, over."

"Spearhead Lead, this is Comet A, copy that, out."

With that, Comet Squad and the rest of the airdrop units grouped together and headed out towards the castle center.

[null123]

Canterlot
Comet Squad was suddenly surrounded by forces.
"Call your ships and leave now, or we will fire. If you do not this will be considering a declaration of war from Sazkarjhia to the New Lunar Republic, and you will not win. We have managed to stabilize most Equestrian Planets and are still ahead of the AIF, and you."

[TehAlphaGamer]

Canterloat

Apparently threatening Sazkarjhit hasn't really taught any of the other races that they will fight back. Observers aboard the Trikolo II, Spirit of the Damned, noticed that the members of Comet and Meteor squads had soaring heart rates and blood pressure levels, they had to act.

On the ground, the Sazkarjhit airdrop soldiers and the Equestrians surrounding them looked up as a deafening rumble sounded overhead. Spirit was dangerously close to the ground, and four long rows of coilguns protruded from its underside. Hull-mounted speakers thundered across the city as someone spoke from onboard.

"Do not target our soldiers! We expected some kind of confrontation and needed to resolve the issue. If you attack our soldiers, we will rain down a storm of iron the likes you have never seen. We are more than prepared to lay waste to your city, so order your men to stand down immediately and explain what's happening!"

[null123]

Canterlot
The ship was suddenly surrounded by a shield, as well the ground forces. Princess Luna appeared and moved
"You will not threaten us Sazkarjhit. While I wish for peaceful relations if you attempted to lay waste to Canterlot city with one ship you find it knocked out of the sky and destroyed. I will expand the shield so you can pick up your men. You will then leave Equiis. This was previously the site of battle in the Equestrian Civil, but those loyal to me and my Republic won."
The shield expanded to be one and included the ship and drop squad.

[TehAlphaGamer]

Canterlot

"I'm sorry, princess, but we're under direct orders until we get everything down to the detail. While I would say an assembly is in order, I cannot control that. You will have to speak with General Felasi'hum, whom I take direct orders from. Until then, we're supposed to remain. And I'd say that you best tread lightly. Now is not a good time to attack a Sazkarjhit, especially with the technology in our possession."
