"Carriers [i]Shining[/i], [i]Warhound[/i], and [i]Surprise[/i] begin deploying defenses"
3 of the Equestrians carriers split off from the main fleet, and were seen deploying various cannons across asteroids and moons.
"Admiral Ironblood would like to board the main Triarian vessel. Coordination is needed if the universe if to be saved from Imperials."

[b]Fleet Status[/b]
A New Dreadnought, [i]Broken Unity[/i], has been constructed to replace the one lost at Kashyyyk. While a new fleet was being constructed after the loss of Military World 01 it has been halted, for some presumably unknown reason. Equestrian R&D has stated the reason for it is they are working on several new ships and weapons, and would like them to be apart of the new fleet.

Project Night's Doom: Log 001
"After a few years and months of development we have finally come up with Equestria's first Dark Energy weapon. Named the Gale Missile, it contains a small amount of dark energy at its tip, and upon impact, triggers a explosive device destroying the containment, releasing the dark energy and causing damage. While this missile is far from anything the Triarians have, it show's that were at least making some progress. The missile also needs its own special launcher, so it can't be used on current ships as of now. The next goal of Night's Doom is to build a actually dark energy cannon, or develop a second version of the Gale Missile capable of being used alongside normal missile launchers. I have heard that the other parts of R&D have already developed a prototype ship using the Gale Missile's special launchers. I can't wait to see those ships in action.

Project Solid-light : Log 001
"So, now the military wants me working on hardlight weapons. Which is just great, because they expect me to develop that soon. It tooks the Triarians centuries to pioneer hardlight, then millennia just to develop hardlight weapons. We are centuries behind in technological development, I don't see how they expect me to just develop that within the next few years, or hundreds. Anyways I better see what I can do, instead of just complaining in the research logs."
