With reports from spies that the AIF has developed a extremely fast FTL system, research has begun on how to use the final magical dimension for FTL, as the two prior tiers of the magical dimensions had been. If to be successfully developed, the drives would have comparable speeds to that of the Yuanon Drives.

Project Reality Breakers:Notes 07
"We have finally done it, has taken us a while but we finally have done it. We successfully injected Dark Energy into a being and said being lives and can use powers that can literally bend physics and reality. These powers are minor but with this breakthrough we believe we are on the right track. There is a issue that a limited number of subjects can survive the process but those who can will likely join up, with the rising sense of nationalism and all."

Not wanting to be left behind by the AIF the Equestrians and Pact militaries have also begun expanding quite a lot. They have also begun preparations and have informed the AIF of plans to assist with the seeder invasion. While they don't believe them to be a big threat if they are not contained they will likely become a super huge threat. Pact forces are currently on route to those colonies under attack.
