Solar Empire

The Solar Empire is supposedly a tyrannical organization created by Queen Chrysalis to rule Equestria as its government and military, under the persona of "Principal Celestia". Behind its menacing facade, it is actually her resistance movement against Overlord Hasbro.
== History ==
After her defeat and transformation following the War of the Gods, Queen Chrysalis wanted to find a way to defeat Overlord Hasbro. She established the Solar Empire to rule Equestria (behind the facade of the Two Princesses, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna), while using her disguise as Celestia to infiltrate Overlord Hasbro and collect his plans, so to find his weaknesses and defeat him.
The Solar Empire was said to be a "tyranny", opposed by Vice Principal Luna's New Lunar Republic.
Its main industry presumably involved the production of robots and mechanical vehicles and suits, such as Vice Principal Luna herself (who was an android) and a large mechanical suit worn by a decoy of Principal Celestia in her battle against Luna.
Her headquarters is located at a skyscraper in an unspecified city, though other facilities (such as the Principal's Office at Canterlot High in Ponyville, Canterlot Castle for ceremonial purposes, and a warehouse for supplies and machinery) existed everywhere else throughout her territories in Equestria. While it consisted of a very tall tower, one of its halls resembled a ruined cathedral.
After Equestria's destruction and restoration by Overlord Hasbro in the "Day of the Flutter", Queen Chrysalis established her new headquarters under the sewers of another unspecified location, presumably to ensure that Overlord Hasbro will not find her in her old location. She left her facilities at Canterlot Castle to be temporarily used by the Appuls for their war against the Oranges, before seizing it back after the defeat of Chester.

== Trivia ==
* The Solar Empire and the New Lunar Republic were two factions that appeared in some MLP:FiM fanfiction, in which Princess Celestia (Celestia's pony counterpart) leads an oppressive empire opposed by an uprising led by her sister Luna. Apparently, the New Lunar Republic was more popular than the Solar Empire, mainly due to Celestia's thousand-year-long reign and banishment of Luna (as Nightmare Moon) to the Moon being viewed by some people as being "tyrannical".
* The emblem of the Solar Empire was designed by Emkay-MLP.
* Even though the Gray Man was seen among the members of the Solar Empire, in "Day of the Flutter", he can also be seen supervising a room full of television screens in Hasbro's Headquarters, where he and other presumable agents observe Equestria's events. This also suggests that he also works for Overlord Hasbro, and he might have been spying on the Solar Empire on Hasbro's behalf.
