The Second Imperial Army
If the Empress is to exert Her indomitable will, she requires a grand army, one to match the legions she raised against the tyranny of the Sun over a thousand years ago. It is to be distinct and loyal to the Empress and her ideals, and entirely separate from the stagnant past. Long live the Night!
Gain 30 Army Experience
All The Little Ponies
With the ongoing confusion and disarray, it becomes more crucial to secure a numerical advantage where it matters most. Most ponies take a dim view on serving and dying for a distant overlord, but with enough benefits many could be convinced otherwise. The incurred debt is irrelevant if we prevail in the end.

The Warmaster Of Equus
The New Lunar Army at present functions more as a horde, than a stratified command structure. It has proven itself effective, but that is due to our troops' valor and devotion, not the efficiency of our leadership. So, at the advice of our Chiropterran friends, the Empress has decided to appoint an Imperial Warmaster to lead the armies in her steed.

Battlefield Support Aircraft
The idea of combined arms is an old one, dating back to earth ponies tying down formations to be picked off by pegasi or unicorns. In modern times, it remains underutilised due to the difficulty of coordinating armoured columns, infantry and aircraft. With improved communication systems, it becomes plausible to introduce a specialised aircraft to work in unison with the ground forces.

Each resource, each asset denied to the enemy is one that cannot frustrate us in our endeavours. It is not enough to simply break an army on field anymore, their production and morale must be broken on the homefront.

Long Range Bomber Designs
Firepower is useless if the aircraft cannot make a two-way flight because it ran out of fuel. At the cost of expanding our destructive capabilities, all variants of bomber aircraft will be have their designs enhanced to increase fuel efficiency, extending their operational area.

Air Range: +10%

New technologies are constantly updating themselves, leaving their usage to remain slightly unclear as the need for them is changing, as well.
Aircrafts have allowed ponies to travel distances in a shorter time span than previously seen, barring exceptionally talented mages skilled in teleportation, yet their fuel efficiency is horrendous. Certain airplane designs are being modified to travel longer distances on the same amount of gasoline.
Payload Calibration
The act of bombardment by itself is not a precise science. Airponies can be trained as much as we wish, and technology is continuously improving, but the bombs themselves must be let loose at a precise moment, lest they completely miss a target. To compensate for this innate inaccuracy, bomber models will carry higher amounts of payload from here on.

Aircrafts have allowed ponies to transport goods farther and easier than before, yet there is always a need to expand cargo holds. Certain airplane designs are being modified to carry larger tonnage on the same amount of gasoline, which serves the current doctrinal thought.
The Continental RADAR System

Jet Engine Experimentation
Airplanes have come far from their humble origins as a griffon invention, yet the propeller based engines are reaching their limits.

Mass Mechanisation
What became obvious to some ponies after the failed changeling invasion of 1002 didn't caught up with Equestria's top brass: the armed forces remained primitive in terms of adopting mechanised vehicles as means of transporting soldiers. Fortunately, our Empress is far more adept at waging war, and She has demanded a program of intense modernisation to ensure the supremacy of the Night.

Despite advancements in shipbuilding, naval vessels have shown to be vulnerable to attacks from the skies if they're unsupported by aircraft of their own. Thus it would be prudent to convert one of our existing bomber designs to be suited for crossing vast oceans and carrying a higher payload. Additionally, plans have been drawn up for a variant that can launch from converted cruiser hulls.

Centralised Economic Development
The state can be understood as having certain goals and priorities. These do not always correspond with the wishes of the private sector, which can lead to shortages of necessary goods, or overproduction of a commodity. Thus it becomes necessary for the government to intervene in economic matters, ensuring we are prepared for any future ocassion without relying on the fickle whims of the invisible hoof.

The Buffalo Question
The buffalo have lived along the prairies and deserts of the southwest for many generations, in blissful isolation from others who would interfere in their sacred traditions. Their wandering areas have been far greater in the past, but today they are confined to the heartlands of their ancestral homes. Perhaps they might have a use, if the Empress decrees so.

War Plan: Green
Stars Whirl and her garrison have miserably failed in their task to secure south-eastern Equestria. Rebels have seized control of the region and defy the rule of our Empress. We need to prepare a military campaign to crush the insurgency and save the local thestral population before it is too late. They are our most loyal subjects, and will undoubtedly welcome us as liberators.

South-Eastern Reorganisation
Under Celestia's misguided rule, the south-east suffered from neglect and underdevelopment. Our Empress is not so heartless, especially as the region is the homeland of thestrals and contains many lunarist holy sites. She is determined to improve the livelihoods of the local thestral communities and providing care which Celestia failed to give.

Despite all the resistance they faced, our loyal commanders of the south-eastern garrison have managed to survive. Now that the fighting in the region is over, we can welcome them back to our ranks - at least, those who are still alive. They have proven themselves to be determined and cunning fighters, and we are in need of experienced officers for the Imperial Army.
In Vanhoover, navy officers mutinied as the civil war broke out and rebelled against Celestia's rule. But after that they instead established a tyrannical communist government. And our northern border must be secured and the loyalty of the Crystal Empire ensured. Our Empress saved them from Sombra a thousand years ago; in return, they should recognize her supremacy.

Reclaim The Fleet
When the civil war broke out, the opportunistic admiral Dust Hoover took a majority of the Equestrian fleet to Vanhoover, where he set up his tinpot socialist dictatorship, hoping to connect with his distant allies in Stalliongrad. Fortunately, his revolution has failed, and what's left is to scour the area of his supporters and reclaim the fleet before they deny it to us.
Now that the Crystal Empire is secured within the Lunar Dominion, we can prepare to expand the Imperial administration northwards. It is especially vital that Crystal City will be integrated smoothly, so we gain full control of its significant industry and population. As we keep the royal family of the Crystal Empire as hostages, the locals should think twice before resisting us.

After much bloodshed, all enemies of the Empress have been vanquished and the moon now shines brightly across all of Equus.

Hail the Lady of the Moon, the Mistress of the Night and the Herald of Darkness! All shall praise her name!
The chaos of war has been a great calamity for the Equestrian economy. For it to recover, the Empire must directly intervene and save our industry before it is too late. The sooner things return to how they were before the struggle, the sooner will ponies accept the rule of the Empress.

As such, the oil wells will be nationalized and all of their production will be utilized by the Empire.

The Industrial Heartland
The eastern coast of Equestria has for centuries been one of the most developed parts of the nation, especially after industrialisation took place. This means we have a strong economic core, mostly safe from the ravages of war. We should use its production capability to develop other, less developed regions, as well as expand pre-existing facilities.

The Lunar Empire has many educational institutions within its borders, but not enough facilities that focus solely on technological research instead of teaching the youth. The IRC will be an answer to this problem, having some of the most brilliant minds of the Empire cooperating to push the boundaries of science for the glory of the Empress.
