[moviing this topic to RP help and development given that you are asking for "help" on "developing" this story. seems more fitting.]

Here is an idea from my Northern Crescent fan fic


The Lunar Republic
Spoiler


The New Lunar Republic is a underground movement trying to overthrow Celestia. The NLR are Equestrians fed up with the Solar Empire (Celestia Empire). (They are from equestria and they are not from the Lunar Republic aka the moon.) I haven't done to much lore background into the NLR yet, expect for them having a base in Manehatten. This is just to give you some ideas

I'm giving him some ideas to throw around with.
The 'overthrow celestia' is the motivation of both the Lunar Republic (after being runned by Nightmare moon for about twenty years with no opposition) and the NLR underground movement (Their not happy with how Celestia is running Equestria). Thou, that doesn't need to be the main plot of the story. The NLR are a shadow underground movement that has to hide and survive because it is not large enough to take on Celestia head on. This leaving the need to get food, supplies, more ponies to join in the movement, better places to meet and hide, and several other things that a underground movement needs.

Thou, overthrowing celestia is the main goal of both Lunar parties, other things can be added like the battle between leaders or political parties. For example, The Lunar Republic is run by two main parties. The Lunanites, which worship Luna and believe that she should rule. And the Republicans, which believe in a fair and equal government that is run by the people for the people. These parties have been against each other in the Lunar Government and there was a open conflicted about twenty Lunar years ago that some Republicans started to rally together and demanded Nightmare moon step down from being head of the government. It turned into a two and a half week conflict and ended with Nightmare moon still in power. The event was called the Red moon conflict and nopony likes talking about it.

Now to anwser your question blazer, Overthrowing Celestia part is to bring political change to Equestria. Now if they succeed or not is up to the story along with who would run the new Equestrian government if they succeed or cut the head off the snake andsees who takes its place. (Evil candace's mom or candace herself or even more of a plot twist)

Side note I would love to join this as well

The problem is, Luna had to be sent to the moon, if she hadn't, she would have been a genocidal maniac who killed everything.

This means, Luna on the moon had to be done, the supporters are wrong, Celestia can still forgive luna though.

Well depends on which one the Lunar Republic on the moon or the New Lunar Republic underground movement in Equestria. This also depends on are we following the tech level of canon MLP.

The NLR would have some home made tech. to help them avoid capture by the Solar Empire. So same level as the Solar Empire but with a few things they only have. Thou, they would have little of everything and none of the top of the line things that the Solar Empire has unless they steal it.


The Lunar Republic would need some space travel technology so a shuttle or two and the some silly reason why they can't bring any technology that would be to OP. But luckly there is something the Versailles Protocal, which states that all personal on recon of Equestria must not have advanced technology for the fear of the enemy getting their hooves on our technology. So limits what tech they can have.

What I was thinking was for the republic to for now stay an underground movement that has about the same tech as the rest of equestria I don't like to break cannon as far as technology goes. The republic led by luna after she gets back is atemting to get luna on the throne and celestia on the sun at least that's my thought.

The thing is, Luna and Celestia are friends, the word of god states that an evil force took over Luna, my theory is Celestia probably didn't understand it, so she sent Luna to the moon while she tried to figure out how to get rid of it, and she worked out the elements would work so she let Twilight make some friends and defeat Nightmare, Celestia forgave Luna, they became friends, party, and that's that.

Yes I'm fully aware of this but if you research the NLR fandom you will find this isn't the case. Also We might not be led by luna yet

Ok I'll focus on the NLR underground movement with mlp cannon tech. Now a quick question, since cannon technology exists in the MLP cannon along with war. Is there going to be guns, and what I mean by guns is either civil war era or even earlier guns.

And a list of ideas for armor, Plate armor, chain mail, wooden armor, dragon scale armor, and blood armor (leather armor).

Are there going to be classes in this RP? And I think at the begin of the RP the NLR should have very little of everything to give more objectives for the RPers.

Armor yes, guns no, weaponizing magic replaces guns middle ages era weapons swords bows crosbows catapults things like that is what I was thinking

Medieval fantasy themed stuff. Swords, bows, magic, dragons, princesses trapped in tall towers... Fairytale esque stuff i presume. That i assume would be the best "fitting" for what you are going for i think.

A quick thought here before this topic gets locked.

Is Luna's thought on the matter of the New Lunar Republic rebellion. Luna should be against the rebellion at first and slowly see that Celestia handling the issue badly. Luna's stance on the issue at first should be towards keeping peace and harmony and seeing the NLR as a group trying to cause chaos. And later in the RP, Luna will see that Celestia has become corrupted with power or growing hatred for some groups of ponies. Then she will join the NLR. This doesn't mean that Celestia has to become evil, Celestia just has to appear evil to Luna.
