The Founding of Free Equestria

During the Crystal Empire War of 1000, the captured former Crystal Empire royal guard Flash Sentry, Twilight Sparkle's student Sandbar, and a group of soldiers and officials seized a troop transport and made their way to Storm Island. In the spring of 1001, Starlight Glimmer and Discord launched their first uprising and began marching on Canterlot, hoping to overthrow Cozy Glow and her puppet Royal Committee. When the news reached Storm Island, the ponies rejoiced. Flash Sentry and Sandbar jointly issued the “Address to All the Peoples of Equestria”, announcing the founding of Free Equestria. They condemned the Triumvirate's conduct of the war and mobilised elite troops to support Starlight Glimmer and Discord. Most of these troops were ponies, but a few were of other species, including storm creatures; the Free Equestrian government promised to grant them and their families citizenship after Equestria was restored.
