the crystal empire and the changeling kingdom have declared war on west equestria, their goal is to liberate west equestria from TUPES union control, instate a democratic republic, and help the new republic rebuild, the two nations have also been harboring resistance fighters as well, the war is a attempt to liberate the west equestrian citizens from poverty before economic collapse occurs, and to make them thrive without being oppressed by a stronger power. altho the two nations are aware that west equestria also owns a galaxy, they mainly want to push tupes union control out of the west equestrian mainland since they lack the fleets to do so. more info on the changeling/crystal front will come later. meanwhile a group of three resistance fighters were able to ambush two TUPES union soldiers, using new firearms produced, however, it should be noted, that starlight glimmer is not a resistance member, and is trying to stay neutral in the conflict.
this is a part of a 1v1 war with @da_metroid for lore purposes, please do not get involved c2a
