Story: Friends of a Solar Empire (Update Part 2+3+Worldbuilding)


[Crossover][Grimdark][Sci-fi][Adventure]

Author: Dalek Ix
Description: For little less than one thousand years, the species of Equestria had been a part of the Trade Order, sharing the millenium of peace of prosperity the humans had enjoyed.

Now, with the arrival of alien invaders and the return of ancient evils, that peace was been shattered. A people unused to war had to rediscover its ways and fight for their home. The Trader Emergency Coalition was born from this need.

Ten years have passed, and the sitation has improved to the point High Command has authorized a rotation of the forces, sending the weary first generation back to their homes, to rest and recover.

Meanwhile, a lavander unicorn mare who has never been on a planet is travelling to Equestria on behalf of her teacher...

Now this is a crossover I would never have expected.

Select Few said...

It sounds interesting, but what is it a crossover of?

Mister Morden said...

Sins of a Solar Empire... an RTS game that barely qualifies as having a story line.

Huuum, might be interesting but I will wait until it has more parts.

MasterContinuum said...

my view ticker doesn't work in chrome. on a second note, this story seems interesting.

Baron said...

I TOTALLY RECOGNIZE THAT PIC! It's an actual achievement in Sins of A Solar Empire, where you randomly find a planet with space ponies on it.

mattwhite924 said...

Wait wait wait, you're telling me that Sins had a storyline?! How did I miss this?

@CelestiaBut SOACE have space ponies, was unavoidable

The Wulf said...

Sins doesn't have a storyline, just some short back story as to why these three factions are fighting. Fun RTS though.

Forderz said...

I loved SoaSE. I'll give this a shot, even if I question it's... umm... story credentials?

The Wulf said...

I always felt like I should make up my own story for each play session, so I don't see why it couldn't involve ponies!

Stars said...

I'm already reading this on FIM, and I'm enjoying it greatly

CityFlyer502 said...

Despite having absolutely no knowledge of Sins of a Solar Empire, I am really enjoying this one. Just got done with the first chapter, and now I'm gonna dive into the next one.

CWrebel23 said...

Oh wow, I did not even know that there was a brony presence in SINS, is...their a group for this at all?

The Numberman said...

Sins of a Solar Empire! The hours I've sunk into that. Gonna read this asap.

Jimperator said...

@CWrebel23

If anything is even remotely geeky/nerdy, there will be a Brony presence in it.

Taunt said...

The header image reminds me of the false glory that is the Sporum.

There were space ponies, they worshiped space ponies. But they shun MLP ponies...

ShakeNDake said...

Ha! That achievement has driven people to wits end to find the planet and have never found it. I played it and didn't even care about the achievement just to find it unlocked one day. XD
Considering there was absolutely NO real story behind SoaSE, this should be interesting, but I am wary by the description...It has to wait anyway, still finishing Fallout: Equestria. Why are ponies so good with video game crossovers?

Thunder Run said...

This looks like a good story.I'll read it when I got time.

pmcollectorboy said...

THANK YOU! Someone listened! Screw that Starcraft stuff. Sins of a Solar Empire is where it's at. >.>

pmcollectorboy said...

Thank you to whomever wrote this. Now I'll get to work on a My Little Homeworld.

Eventually.

The Numberman said...

Finished the two chapeters currently up. Very good. Looking forward to more!

CWrebel23 said...

@Jimperator

I suppose, hahaha.

But still, would be interested in getting a regular Brony SINS group going...

pmcollectorboy said...

That's not a joke, BTW. There really IS a Space Ponies achievement.

Now if only I can get my capital ships to bear the cutie marks as insignia.

Duke Salt said...

now this is one crossover i was not expecting. looking forward to it, though.

Vieral said...

Is it bad that all I can think of is Perry Gripp's "Space Unicorn" song when I read this?

DPV111 said...

Hmm, not sure if want. The only fic that completely trashes the setting of the show that I enjoy is Son of the Emperor.

Stormy said...

Holy sit someone else found that!
And made a crossover!
You people never cease to amaze

Lazuli said...

A Sins crossover?! Well, this could be interesting! Sins is a great game but, yeah, the story doesn't go beyond the intro cutscene...

Bufflord said...

Ah, yes. I remember this peculiar achievement. The first time I installed the game and played it I obtained it upon colonizing and exploring my very first planet. Months and a re-install later, it has continued to elude me till this day. Rather, the day I stopped playing this game.

Chapter 1 shows promise. Looking forward to more. Part of me wants a massed Novalith cannon bombardment to happen in this story.

Akirasip said...

Ah, SoaSE. Remember how i played it. Fun was playing with ma friend, and wtching how huge fleets of fighters engage in combat. Or even attacking Pirates from 2 sides.
And still never got this achievment.

Impressed that someone actualy started to write story with space theme on here. Looking forward to read it all.

Present Perfect said...

This is off to a really great start. The writing is above reproach, the characters are all great and the worldbuilding is really immersive. And I say this knowing nothing at all about the source material. I can't wait for more!

ZarPaulus said...

@The Wulf

SOASE is just as much a 4X as an RTS. It's really difficult to impose a storyline on an Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate game.

Timber said...

A Sins of a Solar Empire crossover...

...ME GUSTA...

darknesqw said...

I saw the image, and was like OMG SoaSE? Then I couldn't stop loling at the fact someone finally did this. XD

ZarPaulus said...

I just realized, Rainbow Dash's callsign is "Starbuck".

Cedric Bale said...

Holy shit, this is amazing. The attention to world-building has me hooked, I need more.

Gramis said...

That is actually a pretty good story so far. Can't wait for more :)

nettick said...

Very good. Love MP sci-fi crossovers and Sins is one of my favorite games. Can't wait for more :D

danielmajors1 said...

DAMN, this is better than I thought, please continue, I will definitely folks this story

The Editor said...

Anyone here A Sci Fi writer? If so contact me, Because I have a plan!

ZarPaulus said...

@The Editor

I'm currently contemplating a Sword of the Stars crossover.

What did you have in mind?

Bloodpool said...

This is very good...can't wait to read more!

-Bloodpool (Nemo potest resistere)

Derpmind said...

I hereby declare the star rating system to be completely defunct and useless.

ZarPaulus said...

No mention of the Advent?

icekatze said...

Confound these space ponies, they drive me to lose sleep! Must have more!
