=== 1004; New Era Year 2 ===
*'''March 1004''', after Ponyville had already got through the winter, Cozy Glow belatedly telephoned her greetings. Half-threateningly, she sold Ponyville — at a raised price — the excessive shoddy fuel oil the Empire had been tricked into importing by Flim and Flam, dressing forced sale up as “help to get through the winter”. Ponyville then built a great many oil storage tanks to deal with this excess shoddy fuel that could neither be used nor simply dumped. Experts pointed out that the tanks carried fire-safety risks, and Lomaki took the opportunity to demand a high consultancy fee for safety maintenance experts.
*'''May 1004''', '''<font color=red>“Project Green Light” is launched</font>'''. Cozy Glow was unhappy at Trixie's growing inclination towards independence, and the Starlight Resistance was also advancing steadily, about to come into direct conflict with Ponyville. To prevent Trixie from betraying the Empire at the critical moment, Cozy Glow realised the oil tanks could become a way of controlling Ponyville: the fire-safety inspection team sent by the Empire would secretly plant bombs on the tanks, and once that was done the Empire could threaten to blow up Ponyville to keep Trixie loyal. It could go further still — the imperial army would withdraw from Ponyville and let Starlight Glimmer's army advance with a “green light”, and after Starlight Glimmer took Ponyville the bombs would be detonated, burying Starlight Glimmer and Trixie together in Ponyville. This was called the Empire's “Project Green Light”. The top-secret plan began to be implemented under the supervision of the Imperial Order Department and several other departments, and Trixie knew nothing of it from beginning to end.
*'''5 July 1004''', Free Equestria's human Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer jointly published ''The Mathematical Principles of Natural Magic'', opening modern magical theory.
*'''September 1004''', '''the Nirik Riot'''. For reasons still unclear, a violent conflict broke out in the Kirin land: a portion of the Nirik population rose in rebellion against the dominant kirin government. Little is known outside about the Kirin land; the mainstream guess is that the civil war was the result of long-accumulated contradictions between the two kinds — kirin and Nirik — finally erupting. But some scholars who had visited the Kirin land said there is no physiological species difference between kirin and Nirik, and that the conflict was more likely due to other political, economic or religious causes. The Kirin land lies on the continent of Kirinsol, south-east of the Equestrian continent; its main species are the kirin and the Nirik. Historically kirin and Nirik had clashed many times, but relations had eased in recent years. The Kirin land had long had no contact with the outside world; it began to open up only when war broke out on the Equestrian continent, and outsiders still know very little about it.
*'''Winter 1004''', the Changeling Central Intelligence Agency and the Starlight Resistance learned of the existence of “Project Green Light” one after the other through their respective agents planted in the Empire. Although the changelings were in a secret cooperative relationship with Trixie, they did not tell Trixie; Starlight Glimmer's resistance was then facing off against the Ponyville army, which Cozy Glow had ordered to hold Ponyville and eastern Equestria to the death, and Starlight Glimmer hesitated over whether to tell Trixie.
