Now, back to the bronies...
I don't mind the fandom being part of the Senshi. First, that faction needs more males, and I've been lead to believe that there are more bronies than pegasisters out there. Second, there's a lot of overlap in the general outlook - friendship, doing what's right, etc.
Like Mal, I dislike the idea of a full shift 'mod from human to pony. Where's all the extra mass going to come from? The concept of people with identifiable equine traits is acceptable, although they need a group name. (There's a subculture out there that has a decidedly different meaning for the term "pony girl," and thanks to The-Internet-Is-For-YouKnowWhat that meaning isn't exactly obscure any more. So we aren't using that term in Fenspace, okay?)
Pegasi... I've never been fond of the idea of unassisted flight in Fenspace. [size=smaller](Before anyone points her out: Safety has a micro-miniature gravity drive installed. That's tech-based assisted flight.)[/size] Ornamental wings would be okay, I guess.
Unicorns... Sure, why not? The pointy bit on the forehead is going to cause problems with space helmets, though. On the flip side, even a single example of proven magical ability (as opposed to handwavium "faking it") would be enough to get Noah to unseal the grimoires in the unredacted Whole Fenspace Catalog and provide them to various educational bodies.
