One of our Clan guys is constantly writing some great Ponytech stuff. And awesome writing deserves some pictures.  
This is a key scene in Ponytech history :  
2835: The cargo transport jumpship Errant Venture teleports into the Sol system and after charging its mana reactors for a week in orbit around the Homeworld, suddenly and violently deorbits itself over Equestria, striking the planet in the vicinity of the Manehattan Megacity Spire. Princess Celestia is believed to have been on the ground when it happened, attempting to use the Elements of Harmony, an ancient and barely understood weapon from the pre-spaceflight era to halt the stricken transport’s descent. Princess Celestia and the entire population of Manehattan are annihilated in an instant. The ash cloud from the detonation eventually blots out the sun across the entire planet for several months. Evidence is recovered from transmissions sent moments before the transport went down, implicating the Rim Worlds Republic as being responsible.
 
2835-2848: Border War years. Princess Luna launches a full scale invasion and cleansing of the Rim Worlds Republic, the other nations of the Star League Council are initially supportive of the attack, outraged by the death of Celestia. But as the war progresses, and the Solar Empire’s numerous violations of the Ares Conventions perpetrated upon the populations of Republic worlds come to light, their outrage turns to disgust.
 
2848: The Great Houses withdraw from the Star League. Princess Luna declares them traitors to Celestia’s memory and invades them as well.

This is the first time I did a picture like this. Watched a bunch of tutorial on youtube for effects, filters etc. The buildings are drawn by me, the rest are effects or photomanilpulation.  
But it was lot of fun to make it and I am pleased with the result.
