It is true that everything in this page is completely My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. However, what you will read in this article is not about ponies, but everything in this article were inspired by Equestria At War and Millennium Dawn.
And in case y'all asked, YES I returned to MONKE, by playing *Equestria At War*, the very mod I've been playing.
In this nightmarish mess, you're looking at forces from beyond the stars who had come to see what had become of this world, and if possible, organize a plan to pacify the place.

Little did they realize that their fleeting hope had indeed came albeit a year before and years after the Great War's end. Months before the world's end, a star fell upon Equestria and landed near Maripony. Those from the Ministry of Arcane Sciences brought it back to Maripony for investigation, and Twilight Sparkle herself even participates in the whole thing; what they found would ultimately prove to be the very hope the Equestrians had, only two centuries too late. What happened during and after the world's end at Maripony, no one knows, nor do the investigation reports ever reach Canterlot; the only thing was that in the few days after, several stars fell near Maripony, and left for a few hours.
Two hundred and three years after the end of the world, several stars fell and landed at Copperopolis and Flynn Ranch. Reports came in of soldiers resembling ponies, zebras, griffons and changelings in clothes of different shades of green armed with weapons, equipment and armor not of this world, white and black occupying those two regions, as well as of flying metallic constructs that seem to land and lift off safely, and tracked or wheeled metallic constructs with a "head" and a barrel short, medium or long at one part. More reports also came in that these soldiers call themselves "Novayans", and they had come to pacify this continent.
Lastly, these Novayans were led by a white, blue-maned alicorn in what seems to be a black military uniform of sorts.
**To many, this seems very ominous; to others, such were only tales and rumors made to scare those weak-willed into believing them. Some thought they were monsters who had come to kill them all, and others simply don't care.** **Many did not realize that these forces, however ominous or rumored they were, would become the very thing the wastelanders had not expected: they were the ones who will deliver hope unto them. And this time, they will do this to correct not only the world's sins, but also [REDACTED].**
**And one day when the tonguing is done, we'll take our path and go.**

The **Novayan Expeditionary Force**, otherwise known as the **Novayan Expeditionary Forces**, is a military force of Novayan soldiers sent to Equestria to bring an end to the pain, suffering, misery and sorrow the wastelanders experienced. Thanks to a certain asset from what was called "Maripony", the Novayans had come to fix the mistakes of the world, with plans to impose their domination over the entire world.

#### Novayan Military Administration of Equestria

The Novayan Military Administration of Equestria is the name of the Novayan military occupation authority after the Equestrian Wastelands' most nefarious factions were brought to heel, with some benevolent factions allowed to operate within Novayan authority and laws. While Admiral Borealis III did lead the NMAEQ, he is also head of the Novayan Military District of Central Equestria, also known as the Novayan Capital Military District.

**After completing *"The Princesses were Dead"***:
Borealis III was an admiral in the Novayan Navy previously tasked with rebuilding Equestria to its former glory, now serving as the autocratic ruler of the rebuilt nation by mandate of the Novayan government and military high command. Alongside his comrades, friends and allies, Admiral Borealis III was able to restore a semblance of order and restored Central and Eastern Equestria to its former glory, believing that he would be able to resign once the Princesses were found. And it was only through an expedition into Canterlot's caves that his hopes would be dashed like a ship dashed against rocks in a storm when the armed expeditionary teams return with only one thing in mind.
**The Princesses, or rather, Princess Luna was already dead two centuries ago. Her corpse was brought to the surface in a containment unit.**
With the death of Princess Luna two centuries ago, the admiral's plans - and the plans of his comrades, allies, friends and even rivals - had finally gone, thrown into turmoil. After launching an emergency meeting with every officer and bureaucrat and the government and military headquarters, it was eventually decided that he be made the first autocratic military governor. Hesitant was he, that the burdens of ruling a military government in charge of an entire continent would be too much to bear. Because he pulled through alongside those who worked under him, those who agreed and even disagreed with him, and that earned him many victories (he would credit such victories to others), it took Twilight and the rest of the officer corps, government and headquarters to make him acknowledge his position.
Now military dictator for life, Borealis III has set for himself and the men and women under his leadership a noble goal: to restore Equus to its former glory. While willing to do so, he was concerned for the costs that he was to make, and is conflicted whether or not he will make the most damning of sacrifices or maintain his moral integrity.

**After completing *"The Unification of Equus"*:**
Borealis III was an admiral in the Novayan Navy previously tasked with rebuilding Equestria to its former glory, now serving as the autocratic ruler of the rebuilt nation by mandate of the Novayan government and military high command. Having pulled through alongside his military government, he was able to pacify most of Equus and bring back order to Equus thanks to the officers, politicians, bureaucrats and allies who gave him the words that allow him to win without even sacrificing his own integrity for repressive acts.
After unification, Admiral Borealis III was eventually handed a Special Ordinance by the Novayan government, effectively putting him in charge of the world of Faust. His office and responsibilities of military governor now incorporated those of the civilian governor and military dictator, Admiral Borealis III now sees to it that Faust will be brought to the Novayan order. Never to be scarred by the centuries of war that dominated it.

An hour after returning from his latest exercise on commanding an army group in a simulation, the admiral visited the Morales Museum where he saw the ice containing a purple unicorn mare melting. After ordering the medical corps to take the Ministry Mare in and then interrogating her after a few weeks of recovery, the admiral reported her case to the military high command who, after sending out scouts to find and ascertain what became of Faust, appointed him as Supreme Commander of the Novayan Expeditionary Force. His objectives were clear: ascertain the status of the Wastelands, contact the local wastelanders and, if possible, subjugate or ally any possible factions there.
Declaring it their ultimate sin of not helping the world callously, the Novayan military sent Admiral Borealis III with Twilight Sparkle in tow, intending to put an end to the chaos that was still going on in Equestria. Now willing to save it even if he has to take underhanded measures, he will ensure that Equestria will be restored to its proper glory.
