('''E'''arth, '''U'''nicorn, '''P'''egasi) '''Guard''' or the '''Protective Pony Platoons''', are the pony protectors of [[Princess Celestia]], [[Princess Luna]], and [[Princess Cadance]], as well as [[Equestria]] at large. ==History== ===Predecessors=== Prior to the formal establishment of the Equestrian Royal Guard, earlier rulers were seen to maintain forces of guardsponies, with [[Commander Hurricane]] and [[Sable Spirit]] both maintaining forces of ~~[[Pegasi]]~~{{FIM\|Pegasus}} and [[{{FIM\|Unicorn]]}} guards, respectively. Other forerunners to the royal guard may have included the [[Cloudsdale Royal Legion]] and the [[Mighty Helm]], military forces that defended various populations in Equestria. A number of guards patrolled [[Canterlot Castle]] around the time that the [[Pony of Shadows (Eris' dimension)\|Pony of Shadows]] abducted {{FIM\|Princess Celestia}} and {{FIM\|Princess Luna}}.<ref>[[Legends of Magic Annual 2018]]</ref> ===Formation=== Following the [[Celestia/Luna rift]], in which Princess Luna-then Nightmare Moon-was banished to the [[moon]], Princess Celestia formally established the royal guard. On the anniversary of the first [[Celestial year of peace]], [[General Firefly]] selected an elite ground of fliers from the ranks of the E.U.P., dubbing them the [[Wonderbolts]]. The royal guard were in operation by the time Nightmare Moon began invading the dreams of ponies after turning the enslaved [[Nyx]] into the [[Nightmare Forces]].<ref>[[Fiendship is Magic issue 4]]</ref> ==Members== {{Columns\|3\| [[{{FIM\|Shining Armor]]}} (captain) [[Charming Cavalier]] [[Echo]] [[Flash Magnus]] [[{{FIM\|Flash Sentry]]}} [[Gallant Gallop]] [[Gallus]] [[Glimmering Shield]] [[Golden Flight]] [[Jade Wing]] [[Jasper Hoof]] [[Nocturn]] [[Orange Mane]] [[Ralph (guard)\|Ralph]] [[Sam (guard)\|Sam]] [[Spearhead]] [[Topaz]] [[12th Precinct captain\|Unnamed captain]]}} ===Divisions=== Many of the known [[pony]] tribes are represented among the royal guard. By the time of [[Luster Dawn]]'s time as a student at the [[School for Gifted Unicorns]], at least one non-pony, the [[Griffon]] [[Gallus]], was also seen to be a member of the guard. ====Earth Ponies==== Line 32 ⟶ 44: ====Bat Ponies==== [[File:Echo and Nocturn.jpeg\|thumb\|[[Echo]] and [[Nocturn]], two members of the Bat Pony royal guards.]] A number of [[Bat Ponies]] serve as Princess Luna's guards-also known as the '''Lunar Guard'''<ref>[[My Little Pony (Gameloft)]]</ref>-though they have also been seen in the company of Princess Celestia.
