Case File - Equestria's Military Force (Headcanon)
DIR By: Broadshield
Date: November 30, 2015, 7:49 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Foreword: With the arise of international and eldritch threats
endangering Equestria and its citizens, there are those who have
called for a militarized force that is capable of defending
Equestria from these terrors. This case file was created to help
inform Equestrian citizens of the forces that keep this nation
safe. There are two types of militarized forces. Guard units and
Specialist units. Guard units are used in guarding VIP's, or
places of interest from our enemies. Specialist Units are
skilled in multiple areas of military service.
Over time, this file will be altered and expanded upon as more
information comes to light. This is all the information I could
gather at this point in time, as there are ponies after me for
getting this information. All I hope is that this case file will
not fall into the possession of our enemies, and that it can be
used to provide Equestria and its citizens the necessary
information, but also it can provide them a sense of security of
who's really out there defending us. I must go, they are nearly
here. May this information serve the reader well.
-The People's Benefactor
Guard Units
The Royal Guard
The Royal Guard are the most commonly seen military force. The
Royal Guard are mainly stationed in Canterlot to defend the
Princess' that are in Canterlot. The Royal Guard consists of
earth ponies, pegasi and unicorn soldiers. Although they guard
all the Princess's, they are mainly seen with Princess Celestia,
leading to many believing that they are exclusively Princess
Celestia's guard, although this is not the case. In the past,
ponies believed that the Royal Guard aren't capable of defending
Equestria, much less Canterlot after the Changeling Invasion of
Canterlot. The Captain of the Royal Guard is Shining Armor,
brother of the ex-Element of Magic, now Princess of Friendship
Twilight Sparkle
The Lunar Guard
The Lunar Guard are Princess Luna's guard. When the night comes,
the Lunar Guard take over the Royal Guard in guarding the
Princess'. The Lunar Guard consists mainly of bat ponies, or
Noctrals as described by some. The Captain of the Lunar Guard is
Ebony Coldsteel.
The Crystal Legion
The Crystal Legion are Princess Cadence's guard. They guard
Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, their upcoming foal, and the
rest of the Crystal Empire. The Crystal Legion consist of
crystal ponies, whether they are pegasi, unicorns or earth
ponies. It was formed after Sombra's attempt to retake the
Crystal Empire. Because of this, they have grown an immense
hatred towards Sombra and any affiliates, and are wary of
outsiders. The Crystal guard have also maintained security
during the Equestria Games. Due to limited knowledge of the
Crystal Empire since they only came to be recently, there is no
known leader of the Crystal Legion.
The Twilight Vanguard (Proposed Idea)
The idea of a guard for Princess Twilight, the newest Princess
was put forward after her, as well as the other ex-element
bearers first encountered the equality extremist, Starlight
Glimmer. Although she has proven to have impressive magical
capability, Starlight Glimmer was able to detain her and the
others. After she returned, the proposal was put forward so that
there would be a guard unit accompanying her for her safety. If
the proposal is accepted, the Twilight Vanguard would be
stationed in Ponyville, as well as Princess Twilight's castle.
The Twilight Vanguard would consist of members of the Royal
Guard, as well as anyone willing Ponyville locals.
Specialist Units
The Wonderbolts
The Wonderbolts serve as not only an aerial defense unit, but
they also serve as a morale unit. In the past, the Wonderbolts
would have been deployed to fight other aerial units such as
Griffons or Changelings. Recently they were involved in
defending Equestria against Tirek, although they were quickly
subdued. When not on active military serivce, they provide
aerial displays to not only boost morale, but to also hopefully
inspire young fillies and colts to join the military. It isn't
uncommon for members of the Wonderbolts to participate in the
Equestria Games. The current leader of the Wondercolts is
Spitfire.
Special Forces Unit Equinox
Not much is known about Equinox. Equinox is a Special Forces
Unit that was formed after Tirek's attack, but the idea for a
special forces unit was put forward after the Changeling
Invasion. The goal of Equinox is to defend Equestria and its
citizens from any international and eldritch threats. They are
also first responders to any conflicts outside of Equestria
should any outside countries need the support of Equestria, or
they are first to respond when Equestria is experiencing
conflict. There are rumors circulating that many black market
syndicates were taken down during raids led by Equinox soldiers,
though many believe this is propaganda to scare ponies. Equinox
recruit anypony, indiscriminant of age, gender, appearance,
race, birthplace or ideology. They recruit soldiers either
through volunteers, or through taking enemy combatants, although
this method of recruitment has not been confirmed in official
reports and is just a theory. It is uncommon, but Equinox also
involve common ponies in there missions, if they are willing.
Equinox work with other units in operations. Currently, the
leader of Equinox is Commander Broadshield.
