1003; New Era Year 1
- 1 February 1003, The Heavy Griffin is published. A. K. Yearling finally released a new Daring Do book, telling a distinctive story: Daring Do comes to a fantasy world whose history is completely different from this one. In that fantasy world the Mane Six defeated the Triumvirate in the Final Battle. “It was a world full of harmony, a world every pony yearns for...” Yearling wrote. The Imperial Order Department immediately declared The Heavy Griffin a banned book, stopped its printing and publication, and required all ponies holding a copy to hand it in within seven days. The Department issued a warrant for A. K. Yearling.
- February 1003, the Meteoric Iron Incident. The Equestrian Empire's state security department secretly destroyed the railway at the border between Quarry Farm and Appleloosa and falsely claimed meteoric iron had caused it, sealing the site and refusing investigation. A small-scale clash followed between the Equestrian Empire and Appleloosa, ending in an imperial victory; the Empire once again demonstrated its ability to manage the regions effectively, but Appleloosa's conduct also quietly sowed the seeds of resistance in various places.
- March 1003, the six sages escaped from Canterlot prison and disappeared.
- 5 May 1003, according to treasury statistics the Equestrian Empire's finances were in deficit and tax rates had to be raised sharply, arousing discontent among the people of Canterlot and the surrounding area.
- 17 June 1003, serious organised anti-imperial political crime increased sharply in the imperial centre's jurisdiction. The tax rise stirred resentment among a great many ponies, and slogans disrespectful of the Empress began circulating. Empress Cozy Glow ordered a crackdown.
- 21 June 1003, the Equestrian Empire's first Summer Celebration. Outsiders began to notice that there seemed to be discord between Empress Cozy Glow and Duke Trixie. Fairly obvious contradictions appeared between them; Queen Chrysalis, on learning of it, thought she could make use of it and hoped to stir up the Equestrian Empire's internal conflicts. The Equestrian Empire and the Changeling Empire gradually entered a state of cold war.
- 9 July 1003, the “Imitator Movement” breaks out. Hit by the Order Department's crackdown on anti-Empress speech, ponies turned to irony. They imitated the Empress's slogans, paid her sarcastic praise, and even began imitating her dress and mocking her image.
- 12 July 1003, large numbers of ponies gathered in Canterlot to protest against the Equestrian Empire's tax rise. Although the imperial centre sent out large numbers of police and troops, and several bloody incidents occurred, they could not disperse the ponies gathered in Canterlot.
- 14 July 1003, the tide is eternal. Ponies tried to force their way into and damage Canterlot prison. In the end the ponies were dispersed.
- Around July 1003, first contact. Trixie met a changeling agent lurking in Ponyville; Trixie tacitly allowed limited, small-scale changeling activity in Ponyville, while the changelings supported Trixie and helped her keep as independent as possible from imperial rule.
- August 1003, the Ponyville Winter. The Ponyville winter the meteorologists and astrologers had predicted finally began, with marked cooling and snowfall already in autumn. Ponyville was forced to restart the agricultural reform interrupted by the “Ghost Train” incident. Under Trixie's leadership the second agricultural reform carried Ponyville through the winter of 1003 — but further winters kept coming and temperatures kept falling, sorely testing Trixie's public support. The second reform sharpened the contradiction between Trixie and the Apple family; relations between Appleloosa and Ponyville grew tense, drawing the Cherry family, the Pear family and the buffalo tribes at their border into the tension.
- 26 August 1003, the Canterlot bombing. Canterlot railway station was attacked with explosives. At the same time a videotape was sent to media outlets: in it an “imitator” dressed as Empress Cozy Glow incited the people to rise with her on 5 November, and declared that on 5 November she would “kill Cozy Glow”.
- 10 November 1003, the Crystal Empire held a crystal assembly. After two years of peacetime recovery its scale had almost returned to pre-war levels. The Crystal Empire's economy began to recover and its politics leaned towards independence. The succeeding Flurry Heart and the royalist forces remaining in the government expanded; although the Crystal Empire remained under the tight control of the Equestrian and Changeling Empires, in the Crystal Empire council elections the royal family's support kept rising, surpassing the Unity Committee appointed by the Equestrian Empire and the changeling advisory group appointed by the Changeling Empire.
- 5 November 1003, the “Imitator Riot”. Coordinated by the Order Department, the Equestrian imperial guard had begun martial law and curfew a month earlier, and the imperial ministry of defence had detached troops to station in central Canterlot and the surrounding area; from 4 November central Canterlot was fully sealed. The day of the uprising finally came, and large numbers of “imitators” dressed as Empress Cozy Glow appeared in the Equestrian Empire's major cities. In central Canterlot the police and troops, following orders, used force against “imitators” who refused to obey... it was a night that will be remembered forever. As the bell struck midnight on 6 November, a televised address by Cozy Glow herself in person ended the prophecy of “killing Cozy Glow”, and under police and military suppression the crowds of “imitators” in each city soon dispersed. The Equestrian Empire returned to its former calm — but at the centre of the vortex, in the square in central Canterlot, the police had not yet managed to clear the square of the bodies of “Cozy Glow” left there the night before. In a sense the prophecy succeeded — on 5 November, “Cozy Glow” was killed, not by the insurgents but by the imperial police and army.
- 15 November 1003, the raid on Manehattan. In its official broadcast “Starlight Radio” the resistance reported the anti-pony outrage of the slave trade in Manehattan and used it as grounds to attack Manehattan. Because Manehattan's mayor 乐善 was entangled with the Empire, the Empire did not intervene directly.
- 25 November 1003, New Era Day. The Equestrian Empire's anniversary celebration of the New Era.
