And not the angry kind
Decades ago, Princess Celestia passed away, setting in motion the death of Equestria’s sun. Those that survived the calamity had little choice but to take to the stars, abandoning their lightless world.
To this end, Princess Luna, with the aid of Equestria’s finest engineers and most powerful mages, transformed the very moon itself into a massive world-ship, upon which she rallied what remained of her kingdom and whatever life on Equestria they could save on their journey to seek a new sun, and with it, a new homeworld.
This is your home. You are a citizen of the Equestrian Remnant, which has so far enjoyed years of safety and peace under the administration of Admiral Luna. You and a portion of the Remnant’s population are emerging from a period of hypersleep- a measure set in place to reduce the drain on the Moon’s resources, the Administration says- ready to take the next shift from those in the next rotation.
Good morning, citizen.

New Races:
-Cyborgs: Technically a subtype of one of the organic species; anypony who has received mechanical augmentation, whether it be for medical purposes, performance and labor enhancement, or perhaps just for cosmetic appeal. Whether they sport a bionic eye, extra mechanical arms, a military-issue shoulder cannon, or the sleek lines of the latest Raritech original, cyborgs of any species are sure to draw the eye of many in a crowd, though whether it be from fear, envy, or simple curiosity is uncertain.
Ponyroids: Artificially intelligent mechanical equinoids created to assist ponies in many roles, including labor, military, or domestic aid. While purpose-built to fill a specific role, sometimes these learning automata will begin to exhibit behaviors or even express interests divergent from their initial programming, at which point they are flagged for evaluation and may be awarded a modicum of freedom and honorary citizenship if they prove intelligent enough to be safely integrated into pony society. Most such ponyroids tend to regard their core programming in the same manner a “natural” pony might their Cutie Mark talent; not a limitation on their potential, but a defining feature on which they can build a greater identity.
-Changelings: A few years into the Moon’s journey, it was discovered that a splinter swarm of Changelings had snuck aboard during the evacuation, and had been living in secret among Equestria society via a network of hidden caves and tunnels excavated in secret within the Moon’s internal structure. Without their Queen to control them and without the greater hive mind to silence them, these isolated Changelings had gradually begun to express more individual personalty and intelligence than what would be expected of Queen Chrysalis’s swarm, and with it a greater capacity for reason and empathy. At the urging of Vice-Admiral Sparkle, these stowaways were given a stay of expulsion, and given a chance to join the Equestrian Remnant as full citizens, even offering loving homes to some of their nymphs. The hives accepted without question.
Come present day, seeing a changeling out of disguise working and living among ponies would hardly be considered an unusual sight, though some may still regard these natural shapeshifters with a measure of suspicion, even after security measures were put in place throughout the Moon that could see through a Changeling’s disguise.
(Author’s note these aren’t ‘changedlings’, these are basically an offshoot of the original Changeling design with a less centralized hive structure)
