First off, it's not pony porn. I'm sure that answers a lot of questions already for many people. What it is, is a story that takes place in an alternate universe. An alien warp gate opens up that leads to a section of space called the Koprulu sector. The sector is filled with technology from long dead alien races. The ponies use this technology to advance themselves technologically, and for a while things were good. They build ships, colonize planets, etc. But eventually that warp gate is destroyed, leaving a number of Equestrians trapped in the sector without Celestia's guidance. Free of her rule for better or worse, the inhabitants start drawing borders, building armies and fleets, and prepared to challenge one another for the right to rule the sector. Some fought for faith, others for thrones, and others simply for greed. After three hundred years, the violence hasn't seem to have ceased. The universe aside, it follows the more personal story of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They had a fairly decent childhood growing up, having the usual adventures children have. But in this story they are now reaching adulthood, and they are about to experience first hand just how horrible life outside of their sheltered colony can be.
