| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects |
|---|---|---|
Strengthen the Civillian Government
Government of the people, by the people and for the people. Those are the ideals that we brought with us from Earth and which we now hold in our hearts. To abandon these ideals in the face of adversity, even through the most treacherous storm would be to spit on our legacy |
|
 Democracy Secured
|
Mission to Stalliongrad
Across Equestria, there are many ponies with ideas. Although their closest ideological comrades back on Earth are those accursed Chinese, we have an opportunity to take their best ideas and mix them with our own to create a better version, a version fit for us.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Rediscover Communism
Though many books were lost in the nuclear exchange, some survived and were brought with us to this place. Indeed, since the visit in Stalliongrad, some of our people have taken to reading those old texts again, including one 'Das Kapital'.
|
|
 Rediscovering Marx
|
Nationalise Industries
Is a Man entitled to the sweat of his own brow? 'No' says the manager. It belongs to the captains of industry. 'No' says the priest. It belongs to God. 'No' says the Congressman, it belongs to those who are in need. I've seen it abused, trampled and used to exploit the worker. It is time that it be placed under the careful management of the state. |
|
 Nationalisation Program
We are currently taking direct control of large parts of the economy in the land.
|
Break the Chains!
Everything is ready for the big day. The people are in the right places and the military will look the other way. We will desail the bastions of capitalism and we shall take them for out own purposes. We shall be a Second Home of the Revolution and one that will bring human mettle and inginuity to the table.
|
|
|
Ally Stalliongrad
Our great inspiration for throwing off the yoke of the landlords lies to the North and is eager to share both prosperity and knowledge with us to further the Revolution. Perhaps the temporary arrangement could be made more permanent?
|
|
|
Knowledge Sharing
'From Each According to His Ability, To Each According to His Need'. The old maxim holds as true today as it did so long ago when it was first formulated. Luckily, our allies are of the same idea and some preliminary talk about sharing and comparing notes on new advances in science have already taken place.
|
|
|
The Morning Revolution
It was a quiet day in Gateway City. Nothing of notice happened until someone marched into the city...
|
|
|
Liberate Equestria
For too long, the ponies of Equestria have suffered under their royal yoke. But it was we the people that plowed the praries and built the cities where they stand. Dug the mines and laid endless miles of railroad. Now, we shall take it back for the good of the ponies and for man.
|
|
|
Export the Revolution
Across the world, workers and peasants live in squalor, under the bootheel of kings and emperors. But the thoughts are free, and they shall be the foundation for our new place in the world, to go on the offensive against reactionaries so that all may partake in our grand virtues.
|
|
 Exporting the Revolution
All over the world, ponies and griffons alike know who we are and what finds their way into the hands of local communists...
|
The Equestrian Example
Though their monarchy may be anathema to us, the ponies of Equestria have a lot of good ideas that could be very nice to have in our society. Indeed, some journalists have already snuck over the borders and are reporting on it from various places in their, quite large, country.
|
|
|
A Trade Deal?
Equestria has a lot of resources. We have a lot to trade with. And as things are, we might as well admit that we will need their help in the future, some way or another. In fact, we may as well pre-empt their ideas and reach out to them first before we are caught off-guard.
|
|
 Human-Equestrian Exchanges
|
Work with Equestrian Industrialists
Large swathes of our land is largely undeveloped and the workforce is skilled, and ready to go. Industralists and captains of industry from all over Equestria have stated their desire to set up their own factories, of course, with a dividend to us.
|
|
|
Pack off the Militarists
Even though we desire nothing but peace with Equestria, there are many in the government who want to go to war with Equestria and take their resources for Earth. But we know better than to destroy a good relationship with the ponies. The militarists will be packed off and placed in as many sinecures and unimportant positions as we can find to neuter them.
|
|
|
A Congress for our Land
Congress. The old institution that has survived so much, and yet is so fragile. We are growing more and more distant from the homeland with each passing day, and many do not want to see the Shady Sands rule over us forever when we are right here. We shall charter a new Congress that shall take jurisdiction of all matters in this place of ours.
|
|
 The NCR-Equestria Congress
|
Proclam the Declaration of Independence
We, the People of Gateway City, Haystin, Horston, their surrounding territories and their associated cities do declare that we are independent from the New California Republic and that we will seek to charter our own course in the world with harmony and democracy as our guiding values in our future.
|
|
|
Hold Elections
Congress has been opened and we are now a fully independent and free nation. We will take the last step into the family of nations and hold a real election, with candidates and campaigns to have a Congress that is truly for the People.
|
|
|
Ally Equestria
Why should we see besides each other when we are more alike than different? We have connections and friends in their government, just as they have in ours. The world is fraught with dangers and we must stick together with our friends in these trying times of instability and strife.
|
|
|
Scientist Exchange
Military cooperation is all and well, but we must make sure that we will be able to stand against threats in the future. Power armor and crystals, magic and technology. All must be unified in the fight against tyranny wherever it may be and wherever it may find root. After all, knowledge is power.
|
| |
Stick to our Ideals
Despite the difficult position we find ourselves, surrounded by powers far greater than anything back home, we should not betray the ideals of New Californian Republic. After all if we betray the old ideals of America for the ways of this new world or for the militarist statism promoted by more radical rangers, how can we call ourselves Californians or even Americans?
|
|
|
|
Cultural Exchange programme
While many of our citizens, both pony and human are distrustful to other due to previous experiences, if we want to survive in this world, we cannot allow such segregation to exist. Thus in order for both sides to at least partially understand each other we will organize culture exchange programs. The ponies seem to have a culture similar to the old America anyway, so how hard can it be to fix the issue?
|
|
 Disgruntled Ponies
Despite our efforts, some of our pony citizens are still unhappy and unwilling to recognize our government and serve in our armies and government institutions.
|
|
The Gateway of Mankind
Back in the wasteland the NCR faced the issue of thousands of wastelanders desiring to become part of the country. Previously there was no way to allow them in due to the limited resources of the NCR. However these new lands have changed this. Already we have settled thousands of wastelanders into this new world, but Jameson believes that with these new lands we can take far more in.
|
|
 A New Land for Mankind
|
Repeal Article Four
Despite our citizenry having the will to persevere in this new world, will alone cannot determine everything. Thus, the expeditionary government, with the somewhat unenthusiastic support of leadership back home, has decided to open up to our one time enemies - The Equestrians. Already there are preparations of opening up to trade and diplomacy between us and the ponies.
|
|
|
Equestrian-Californian Military Mission
With friendly relations with Equestrians established, we now have an opportunity that we didn't have before - learning about the tactics of this new world from one of the more militarily and technologically advanced countries. While some may argue we shouldn't rely on openly pacifist ponies, it's better to swallow our pride than to loose lives.
|
|
 Equestrian Military Staff
|
A New Land of Opportunity
The hard life in the wasteland has forced many to focus purely on survival by working the barren land and trying to defend from bandits and mutants. This world is also filled with dangerous creatures, but it's also plentiful, rich and ripe for cultivation. With these circumstances, we can revive the great American ideal of it as a Land of Opportunity.
|
|
 The New American Dream
|
Embrace Political Neutrality
It's a simple fact that we do not posses the ability to expand and wage war in this new world. Not even our homeland, which has already invested much into our new acquisitions, has the population and resources to engage in conflict against the giants of this world. Thus for our own security, we will focus into a neutral defensive position, of course if it ensures our security, volunteer forces might be deployed.
|
|
Entrenched Neutrality icon Entrenched Neutrality
|
Take in Equine Refugees
While we do not want to get involved in the wars of this world, we can certainly profit from the conflict that Equestria finds itself in. By accepting pony refugees, we can bolster both our workforce by the tens, if not hundreds of thousands. Furthermore with the knowledge that there is nowhere else to run, the equine refugees could serve as a good addition to our military.
|
|
|
Lobby for Military Support
The civilian government is clearly unable to properly govern the territories we have taken in this new paradise. Thus, in an attempt to save the expedition, we must ask the military and it's ranger leaders for support in this difficult situation.
|
|
 Fascist Influence
Fascist pressure has made fascism very popular, and the country is susceptible to align with other fascists.
|
|
Repeal Article Two
Article Two was part of the Equestrian-New Californian peace agreement which defined the territories which the NCR expedition could keep after the conflict with the agreement that we would not expand beyond these borders. However we have a purpose and duty to our homeland, and as this point goes against it, we are forced to repeal it, even if Equestrians oppose such a choice.
|
|
|
Replace the Civilian Government
While the support and intervention of the military personnel into our government has resulted in a better position than before, this is clearly not enough. If we want to persevere and secure NCR interests in this new world, we must completely transfer the process of governance to military personnel, and especially the rangers, who posses the knowledge needed for our success.
|
|
|
Unify Human and Equine School Systems
The civilian government has been heavily neglectful towards the pony inhabitants of the New Californian Expedition. This abandonment can not be allowed, for the ponies are also citizens of the NCR and should receive all the privileges of the position. To solve this issue, we will merge the native and our own education systems in order to create a sense of unity among the younger generations.
|
|
Disgruntled Ponies
Despite our efforts, some of our pony citizens are still unhappy and unwilling to recognize our government and serve in our armies and government institutions.
|
Expand Exploitation of Local Resources
What most officials and even citizens seem to forget, is that we have a duty to the NCR and the wasteland, to solve it's issues with the resources of this new paradise. We need to increase the amount of resources sent to the wasteland by both expanding sources and upping the quotas. This increased stream of material should also allow the NCR to produce more equipment, benefiting us to.
|
|
 Homeland Exports
This bountiful land is a paradise unlike anything seen in the wastelands back home. We have a duty to see that we export goods back through the portal for the benefit of the NCR.
|
Begin Conscription Of Native Citizenry
While we have expanded the privileges of full NCR citizens to our pony inhabitants, we must also teach them about their duties. One of such duties is fighting for the survival and future of our great country. Thus as befitting of their ranks as citizens and new patriots, the equines will be conscripted into our armies.
|
|
 Conscription of Pony Citizens
Just like their human counterparts, the proud pony patriots of the New Californian Republic are willing to serve their homeland if the time calls for such an action.
|
A Pact with the Changelings
In any other time and place, we wouldn't do anything like it, but with our difficult position and interests of NCR in this new paradise in mind, we must attempt to ally a tyrant like no other - Changeling Queen Chrysalis. Only with their help can we hope of conquering the paradise, even if it means that the full integration of pony citizenry, due to goals of these Changelings, will take far longer.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Reap the Benefits of the Hegemony
While the choice of allying the Hegemony was one of the darkest moments in the history of the NCR, that doesn't mean there are no positives. It seems Changelings are quite willing to help the expeditionary forces to properly learn about the warfare of this world. Furthermore, some of them are choosing to volunteer for our armies.
|
|
 Changeling Strategists and Volunteers
The Changeling volunteers, both troop and commander, have been a great effort in improving our military doctrine and help us in usage of the old world weapon - tanks.
|
|
For The Republic!
While the NCR expedition is far weaker than most countries of this world, this doesn't matter. Every single of our citizens, be they human or native, now stand truly united, with NCR patriotism burning in their hearts. While we might not be most populous or industrially capable, we will not betray our ideals by compromising with monsters, we will persevere through will and courage alone if needed.
|
|
|
Form the Equestrian Legion
Surprisingly enough, it seems that even with the policies of the previous leadership, many of the inhabitants of the paradise idealize and desire to join our glorious republic. While most of them lack proper training, they are true patriots at heart, and thus will be allowed to serve in our armies as we fight for the future of NCR and humanity.
|
|
 The Legion of New Patriots
Even if they are not citizens, everyone willing and able is welcome in the armies of our Republic.
|
Conquest of Paradise
While it might sound cruel and even unnecessary to some, if we want to persist on this world and furthermore, if we want to save NCR and maybe even all of humanity that has been confined to a burned world, we have to conquer this great paradise.
|
|
 Claiming the Paradise
We have a duty to our homeland and all people of the Wasteland of what was once America. Thus we must continue seizing the lands of this new world.
|
Seize the Opportunity
Before, Equestrians managed to stop our advancement and hold our forces back. However, now that the pony realm has been plunged into civil war, we surely have another chance of increasing the territories under the control of expeditionary forces.
|
|
 Intervening in the Equestrian Civil War
|
Crush the Confederates
It seems that even in another dimension, the Southern spirit persists among the populace. However, while this Confederacy doesn't seem to commit the same moral crimes as the old American one, it's existence contradicts with our duty and goals. Thus we will have to crush the dream of southern independence.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Push our Borders Outward
While we do have many goals concerning expansion in this new world, our former mistakes show that without a proper position and trying to start big, will only result In a defeat. Thus in preparation for further conquests several minor attempts of expansion will be performed.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Strike Las Pegasus
The new independence of Las Pegasus, is the sort of opportunity that we have been waiting for. It's a relatively minor snippet of Equestria which in the midst of chaos became Independent. However even then it finds itself in a difficult position, especially militarily. Thus it will be an easy conquest and it's resources will help fueling our further expansion.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Integrate the Buffalo
The Buffalo Tribes are in quite the difficult position, clearly lacking any future outside of becoming part of a greater power. Of course, it's better that they become part of our country, rather than being a part of the gargantuan Equestrian state.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
A War Like None Before
Finally, the time has come. While previously we lost the war against the Equestrian state due to lack of manpower and industry, now our position is far stronger. While it is a difficult choice to fight against a country which, if monarchical, is still governed with mostly humanitarian and enlightened principles, it's a choice we have to make for future of humanity.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Examine the Expeditionary Forces
War. War never changes. Long before we came through the portal, long before the bombs fell, humans fought with weapons such as those we can see in this mystical land. We must learn to fight as our ancestors did, and claim this land for ourselves. |
| |
Help from Home
We can't trust the local population. I mean, have you seen them? They're damn talking, magical ponies for God's sake! How do they even hold a gun?!? Why on earth would they want to help us out? We must turn and rely on our brothers and sisters back home: they are truly the only friends we have.
|
|
|
Request Further Arms Shipments
We desperately need more firearms if we are to survive and thrive in this new land. We must request yet more arms from our masters back home. They don't need them as much as we do: we all know one of these ponies could take down a squad of Legionnaires without breaking a sweat. Wait, do they even sweat?!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Encourage New Volunteers
"Do you hate fighting in the heat of Baja? Does patrolling the Mojave almost make you wish for a nuclear winter? Well, brave soldier of the NCR, you have a route out! Enlist today for the NCR Expeditionary Force to Equestria! Come join us in a land of magic, mystery and ponies. Yeah, you heard us right! So have a chat to your superior officer today, and ask for a transfer to a placement you won't forget..."
|
|
|
Call in the NCR Military
Our expedition has shown much promise, but we clearly lack the numbers to conquer this land for ourselves. We must call in further divisions of the NCR military to help us take control of Equestria.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Establish the NCR Military Academy
Whilst the Academy is more than established back home, we have no comparable establishment in this realm through which we can advance our knowledge of warfare, industry and all other technologies. We must change this.
|
|
|
Begin Local Arms Production
If we are to survive and thrive in this odd land, we must establish (or possibly more accurately, requisition) arms factories in occupied areas. Sure, the tools here may not fit our hands, but we can surely make do.
|
|
 Local Arms Production
|
Expand Production Hubs
The factories for producing arms we currently possess are sufficient... for an army half our number. We must drastically scale up both the production of weaponry, and the extraction of materials needed to produce them.
|
|
|
Improve Production Methods
Surprising though it may seem, machines and tools designed to be used by ponies don't really operate as... expected... in human hands. We need to retool our production, or we'll lag behind our neighbors.
|
|
 Improved Production
|
Using Crystals
Scattered through this realm seems to be mysterious 'crystals', which are imbued with some sort of magical energy. With some effort, and more theft of local designs than our science division would like to admit, we seem to be able to convert these crystals into an equivalent of nuclear power. These crystals can be used to power our machines, tools and homes.
|
|
 Energy from the Crystals
|
Manufacture Crystal Weapons
Not only can crystals be utilised for powers, but it also appears we can also weaponise these crystals to create powerful, but unreliable, firearms. Shady Sands will certainly be very keen to hear this development.
|
|
|
A New Doctrine for a New Land
From the moment we stepped through the portal, our tactics have been out of date. Or rather, they're dramatically ahead of their time: that is, they're for after a nuclear war. It seems the local populations are using weapons similar to those of our ancestors before the two great European Wars of the 20th century. We need to develop new tactics to reflect this.
|
|
|
|
Develop Infantry Designs
By piecing together designs that survived the Great War back home with those that exist in the world around us, we could dramatically boost our knowledge of ballistic weapons, possibly giving us the edge over the locals.
|
|
|
Rethink Support Battalions
The support battalions we're used to back home are fantastic for the small-scales they revolve around. Some of them are hopeless in this new situation, however: have you tried throwing dynamite at a flying pony? We need to rethink some of our support weapons, it seems...
|
|
|
Build Artillery Pieces
Back home, artillery pieces are few and far between. Here, however, things are different. The resources, technology and equipment all exist to create an equivalent to early 20th century artillery, if we put our minds to it.
|
|
|
The Last Ace in a Lost Hand
The NCR Rangers are the best of the best. Elite, disciplined, incredibly well trained: no foe can stand before them and walk away unscathed. As such, they have been our greatest asset in this new land, and it is thanks to them and them alone we are still here to the day.
|
|
 The NCR Ranger Corps
|
Recruit New Rangers
The Rangers have always been a small force. There has, thus, been severe reluctance to expand the Ranger Corps at all beyond covering casualties. However, we are governing over an ever expanding territory, and so we must now expand the Rangers to compensate for this.
|
|
|
Training Rangers for a New Realm
The Rangers were the first to even begin to comprehend magic, and so it is just that they should be the first to attempt to manipulate it. By augmenting their wealth of experience, training and discipline with the wonders of Equestrian magic, it seems the Rangers will indeed remain the last thing you ever see.

|
Deploy the NCR Motorised Corps
A severely limited concept back home, in part due to the scarcity of functional motor vehicles and the parts to repair them with, motorised armies are much more of a reality here. We must exploit this, and deploy our own motorised forces. At least this way we'll be able to go faster than a pony!
|
|
|
Exploit the Old World Advantage
Our ancestors from before the Great War rode great metal chariots of death into battle. These chariots, what most call tanks, have low-tech equivalents here in Equestria. We must match these more heavily armoured designs with our own, applying our knowledge of old world tech to create chariots of death once more.
|
|
|
Armour the Motorised Corps
By taking our motor equipment designs and adding armour manufactured according to processes from our world, we could create fast but lightly armoured tanks to help us win the upper hand on the battlefield.
|
|
|
Baptism by Fire
Our soldiers, their families and the generations of wastelanders before them all have a unique advantage over the natives of this realm: experience. From birth, every child of our land learns the hard way how to survive in the harshest of environments. The life around us, meanwhile, does not share such an experience. We must utilise this advantage.
|
|
 Decades of Military Experience
|
|
Utilise our Skilled Officers
Honestly, if you strip away the magic and the odd combat tactics, the nations around us are less of a threat to us than the Legion was back home. Fortunately, our officers have plenty of experience dealing with those nutjobs.
|
|
 Skilled Officer Corps
|
The Legacy of Navarro
The Battle of Navarro, in which our brave Californian troopers fought alongside the Brotherhood of Steel against the twisted Enclave insurgents intent on exterminating most of humanity, changed our military thinking forever. It taught us the value of planning, and the value of being flexible. We must remember these lessons if we are to thrive in Equestria.
|
|
|
Draw the First Draft
We have little choice at present but to draw up a draft of young beings loyal to the cause to enlist in our armies. Without a draft, we will be powerless to bring democracy to the wastelands.
|
|
 The First Draft
|
Weapons of Old, Materials of New
After not but a few weeks of trying, with a good few accidents thrown in for good measure, we have finally been able to scratch out a rough prototype for a horrifying weapon of our ancestors powered by materials of the local populations. Nuclear bombs. That's right, nukes. The crystals buried in the land around us hold the terrifying potential to end life on a scale not even our ancestors could have dreamed of.
|
|
|
|
Help from 'Friends'
Some of the pony population here, who have apparently learnt our language through some 'magic' voodoo, seem keen on helping us out with adapting to the local ways of life, in exchange for being taught about the magic of friendship. Seems Communist to me...
|
|
 Help from the Locals
|
|
Accept Arms Donations
Local ponies have, for some reason, decided to donate their ballistic weapons for our troops to use en masse. Odd. They might need adaptation to fit normal hands and not hooves, but hey-ho, guns are guns.
|
|
|
|
Incorporate Magical Means of Production
Magic is scary. It seems the ponies have been keeping some arms factories hidden from us, but have now decided to reveal them to us, allowing us to use them to produce more guns for our armies. Whilst incredibly welcome, this also concerns high command. What else could these ponies be hiding in plain sight? An army? Legionnaires? A sobering thought.
|
|
|
|
Permit Pony Enlistment
Some particularly determined ponies have today burst into our army headquarters, demanding to be allowed to enlist in our expeditionary forces. Considering we want to conquer this land and take the crystals home, it seems an odd choice of alignment for these ponies. Maybe they're insane. Nevertheless, they can fire guns, and who can argue with more manpower.
|
|
|
Enlist Pony Special Forces
To be honest, the ponies cheated the special forces entrance exam a little bit. Well, more than a bit. The tests weren't really designed to be taken by beings with no thumbs and magical properties. Needless to say, they passed with flying colours, in many senses of the phrase.
|
|
Pegasi Rangers
|
A United Armed Force
After many months of gradual cooperation, we have achieved what many thought would be impossible: a truly unified armed force. There's still some tensions that need to be ironed out, but augmenting the strengths of ponies and humans (though compared to magical ponies, they have admittedly somewhat few) has created a superior army.
|
|
 A United Fighting Force
|
An Airforce from Scratch
Where we come from, Aircraft is sparse and almost entirely destroyed. The NCR has some, but it can't be built from scratch, so it is now our job to build up our airpower by ourselves, but maybe we need some help from these pastel horses.
|
| |
Import Stalliongradian Aircraft
Our growing partnership with Stalliongrad has allowed us to request aircraft designs from their famous Prolet-Air manufactury. These planes will be easier to produce due to Stalliongradian engineering and should allow us to build up our air force quickly.
|
|
 Stalliongradian Fighter Designs
|
Import Equestrian Aircraft
Importing Equestrian aircraft will grant us the designs of the most industrially advanced nation on this continent. And due to their pacifist nature, these planes seem to be very good at preserving the lives of their pilots. Something that is always useful.
|
|
Equestrian Fighter Designs
|
Import Changeling Aircraft
The new military administration has decided to reach out to the bizarre insectoids to the north knows as "Changelings" to assist us in developing our airforce. Their Queen is a life long enemy of Equestria, and so they are more than happy to assist us in developing a bastion against pony encroachment.
|
|
Changeling Fighter Designs
|
Bomber Doctrine
Our doctrine of air warfare shall focus on the destruction of targets, bringing a little bit of hell from back home to the front lines of this new world. Doing so will cripple our enemies and diminish their ability to fight back.
|
|
|
Fighter Doctrine
Our air doctrine must focus on establishing superiority in the skies, we shall ensure we possess the greatest air power on the continent so neither our factories nor our troops will ever be threatened by foreign powers.
|
|
|
Otherworldly Aluminum
Aluminum for aircraft seems to be a relatively rare resource in these new lands, while we know of some deposits up north they all lie within Equestrian borders. Thankfully back home, aluminum is in abundance, and it would not be hard to strongarm the government back home into sending some over for us.
|
|
|
New Tactical Bomber Models
Tactical bombers are flexible aircraft that can be used against military or civilian targets, this versatility will be highly useful in the wars to come.
|
|
|
Army Air Support Squadrons
Aircraft made specifically for supporting ground troops are called "Close Air Support", while the finer points of air warfare still allude us, we know having a big metal machine shooting at your enemies from above is one hell of an asset.
|
|
|
Californian Flying Fortresses
Strategic bomber aircraft are planes made specifically to target industrial targets, these planes are often also called flying fortresses... Wait? Flying fortresses? Hell we have some of these back home! These were the things that dropped the bombs all over the Mojave! Ah nah we can build these things don't worry. Hell from above here we come! |
|
|
Modern Fighter Models
Combat aircraft meant to establish dominance in the skies are key to any air force. They will allow our other planes to operate more effectively and ensure enemy aircraft to not cause damage to our soldiers or industry.
|
|
|
Torpedo Bombers
Ships in this new world are much larger and more dangerous than where we came from, to counter this, we should ensure we have an aircraft capable of delivering a torpedo to sink these beasts of steel, lest our shores be threatened by hostile powers.
|
|
|
Heavy Fighters
Larger fighter chassis equipped with larger fuel tanks and heavier frames would allow fighter aircraft to operate with a much longer range than smaller craft. We can use these planes as escorts for bombers or similar operations, to ensure we always get where we need to safely.
|
|
|
Humanity Rules the Skies!
So... it turns out that the human body is quite good at piloting aircraft, especially when compared to our pony neighbors. This gives us a distinct advantage in Aerial warfare in any military engagements. Humanity will dominate the skies of this new world, for the glory of the NCR!
|
|
 Masterful Pilots
|
Survey the Land
Although the expedition is well-prepared and well established in our corner of Equus, we have little knowledge of the land we are living on. With a survey, we should be able to better plan our moves ahead.
|
| |
The Gateway City Agricultural Institute
Gateway City has been our nexus for a long time now, and it is time that we establish a further foothold on the land to serve Earth. Though agriculture has always been near to us, we must put it into system and create a centralized model for our farming strategy for the future.
|
|
|
Haystin Steel
The Haystin area has always been rich in iron ore and coal, the lifeblood of any good industrial economy. Now, with our survey complete and the details of a large deposit sketched out, we shall bring the two together and make ourselves a net producer of steel.
|
|
|
Work with the Landholders
An Army marches on its stomach. It was the words of Napoleon, and ours is no different. To think otherwise is the work of a fool. In order to safeguard our food production we shall coopt their existing structures and make sure that our people, and our army will always have enough to eat.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
|
Cut a Deal with the Gunrunners
While food is important, it won't do simply to have an overflow of food if we can't have anything to defend it with. We must establish a network of gunrunners and manufacturers that can help us in this endeavour.

Modern Problems, Modern Solutions
We are in a place with problems all around us. An industry that lacks modern equipment, a populace that doesn't want us here and land in a corner of a great power. What we don't have on the surface, we must have within. For the good of humanity.

Accept the Bit
While we may prefer our own dollars, fact of the matter is that the ponies here want to, and prefer to, pay in Equestrian Bits. Even if we may not like the look of them, they are still money nonetheless, and bankers across Equestria will happily trade it for gold.

Robotic Workforce
Robots are wonderful, if you have the equipment to maintain them. They work hard, they don't need breaks and best of all, they don't complain about the substandard drinks in the cafeteria. In fact, we should employ some more of them in our factories and dockyards.

Co-opt Stable-Tec
While scant few remnants of the old Vault-Tec survived the nuclear exchange, some examples of our technology made it out of the Gateway and into Equestria. Indeed, some very enterprising ponies with some very bright ideas have decided to start up their own company based on Vault-Tec, Stable-Tec. The results they are currently delivering show promise and an offer to co-opt them should be extended as soon as possible.

The Tandi Grants
With a position in Equus, we should reach out to what intelligentsia is here and sponsor them to come and work for us. After all, with how simple ponies can be, although not dumb, they are quite happy to get to study our technology and experiment on it to improve it.

A Proper City
Our place in the world secured, we shall now undertake a project for vanity. Gateway City has been a ramshackle barely-planned mess of urban constructions, with buildings put where they were needed most at that time. No longer shall that be the case. We shall reorganize the city and make it a city of the future.
